RedCat Ltd

Please describe your company and your position there.

Hi! I am the founder of a fitness platform and a dance studio, and a Tech Lead in a startup.

For what projects/services did your company hire RedCat Ltd, and what were your goals?

An app for Dancing studios, as I am the owner of one.

How did you select RedCat Ltd and what were the deciding factors?

I know one of the founders from one of the companies we used to work together 7 years ago. So it’s a matter of reputation, trust and cultural fit. However, RedCat was one of a variety of vendors we interviewed.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

RedCat initially took the time like a month or so to learn more about my requirements and overall goals for the application. I eventually started working with a project manager, and we broke the work into sprints and moved forward.

The application combines traditional elements of a CRM, Payments, Knowledge base, and several more unique key features. It is developed for iOS on Swift and Node JS, with a web interface for Admin dashboard on React JS and Node JS.

How many resources from the RedCat Ltd team worked with you, and what were their positions?

My project manager was my single point of contact, but there were 4 developers working on the project, as well.

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The apps for Web and iOS are complete but have yet to be launched as we adjust some things within the iOS application to account for recent changes to Apple’s standards. Once we complete that work, I’m hopeful that we can introduce the apps in the coming weeks.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

They were very open in their communication. RedCat Ltd understood the scope and got the app to function as I wanted. There were times when they went in a particular direction that wasn’t quite what I was considering, but they were flexible and willing to readjust to my preferences. We mostly communicated through email and our weekly progress call.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Nothing else stands out other than what I’ve already discussed.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

It’s critical for future clients to be clear about the project requirements and goals.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m a COO of a tech company that offers innovative solutions for customer business growth.

For what projects/services did your company hire RedCat Ltd?

We asked RedCat Ltd to help us with developing a platform for managing insurance packages for our company. We needed a complete solution with many different features and secure data storage.

What were your goals for this project?

The main goal of the project was to create a secure and multifunctional program for user management, conducting marketing campaigns, taking into account the specifics of our target audience.

How did you select RedCat Ltd?

We searched for companies on various resources, including Clutch, and sent several requests. Representatives of RedCat Ltd promptly responded to the inquiry, offered a detailed estimate of the project, and showed us similar projects that they developed for themselves. The communication was very simple, technical specialists were always ready to answer our questions.

Describe the project in detail.

We already had the requirements set, so the work started pretty quickly. We started with the design. The team provided us with great platform mockups, we made some minor changes. Then we launched the development process itself, the engineers used Kotlin, Python and Node.js

What was the team composition?

We had a UI/UX designer, 1 mobile front-end developer, 2 back-end developers, and a project manager, who was the link between us and the provider company.

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Too little time has passed since the platform's release, but we can already say that the product is promising. For now, it is a self-sufficient white-label solution. We managed to automate most of the routine tasks of managers and now they manage to do more during the working day. RedCat Ltd is a really expert company which can easily create a complex product as well as help you make the right technical decisions.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We had our own internal project deadlines and RedCat Ltd helped us get everything done on time. We had general meetings with the team several times a week to discuss the current situation and learn about the progress. The project manager was always in touch and promptly answered questions.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We worked with real experts in their field. The process was clear, they took into account our wishes and gave advice on how best to implement this or that feature. We’ve got a quality software product that works great with no release delays. I think we were lucky to find such an experienced development team.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We enjoyed working with RedCat Ltd, I can't find anything that they should improve.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m a BDM of a tech company that offers innovative solutions for customer business growth.

For what projects/services did your company hire RedCat Ltd?

We hired RedCat to support us on the cross-platform app development. The web part was on our side, but the back-end and the mobile front end was delegated.

What were your goals for this project?

The project goal was the creation of a solid ecosystem for trainers, therapists, and patients to help them go through the rehabilitation period after a physical disease.

How did you select RedCat Ltd?

It was a personal recommendation, though we also considered offers received from Clutch and several other resources. The RedCat Team quickly integrated into the estimation process and helped us to collect project requirements even before we signed a contract. We appreciated their willingness to collaborate. Moreover, they have several pretty similar cases in their portfolio.

Describe the project in detail.

The web part is built with React, while mobile used React Native and Node.js on the back-end.

1. The first step was 1 month of business analysis
2. 2 months for a clickable prototype and design
3. Mobile app implementation tool for 4 months, made with 2-week iterations.
4. Simultaneously our team worked on the web part of the platform.

What was the team composition?

• 1 business analyst
• 1 designer
• 1 frontend
• 1 backend developer
• 1 QA
• 1 project manager

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Right now the application is in alpha version but already has 1000+ installs in stores.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We had a dedicated project manager, who was in touch with our team on a daily basis. Additionally, twice a week we had sync calls, and every 2 weeks - internal demo.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The most unique thing about this is probably their sagacious approach. They asked the right questions while collecting requirements and interviewed the end Client. Also, they took care of project risks, project scalability, high-load performance, and many other things that are not that obvious in the beginning.

Are there any areas for improvement?

RedCat has established processes, so nothing particular to improve.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a contract UX specialist in an Italian Design studio. I create UI and UX for our client's sites and mobile apps and desktop software.

For what projects/services did your company hire RedCat Ltd?

We passed them the designs and prototypes we made for our Client to find a cost-effective technical solution for iOS and Android platforms. The budget was ok for us, and we signed a contract to make an app.

What were your goals for this project?

Personally, our goal was to find a cheap and responsible subcontractor. RC guys are exactly what we were looking for. Regarding the project goals, rather build a smoothly working app based on our designs. They use Bluetooth and other smartphone native layers, and it's pretty complicated.

How did you select RedCat Ltd?

A personal recommendation from an ex-colleague from Ukraine

Describe the project in detail.

Ok, its a mobile application for iOS and Android with an admin dashboard and a sophisticated back-end infrastructure and some elements of Machine learning.

Tha app analyzes heart rhythm, daily activity, sleep quality and many other features. There are family groups, and alerts for elder people. we took 3 months for the designs and prototyping, and RC took 5 months for an MVP under our guidance.

What was the team composition?

2 frontend, 2 backend developers, QA, delivery manager

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

They just did what was planned. We appreciate RedCat's transparency and predictability level. I believe that's the most important thing. The project was a bit delayed, but the end client is satisfied with the job done. For sure, we will have more projects with them.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We used a standard toolset, pretty unified - Slack, Trello, WhatsApp for an urgent staff+emails. The working methodology was Scrum with 2 weeks iterations and monthly demos. RC employees reply quickly and constructively.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

RedCat has taught us a lot about unobvious risks. We are designers, not coders. They give an argumentation and reasons a b c for everything they do. Our partnership is 100% business-concentrated. Each thought and word is aimed at finding a wise and sagacious solution.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I am pretty satisfied with their work. Maybe their CEO shall smile more.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and co-founder of Renthopper, a real estate platform for real estate agents to promote their properties.

What challenge were you trying to address with Resty-app?

We needed help with the frontend development of our platform.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They did the frontend development of our platform in React. The platform is working on mobile phones, tablets, and computers. We had a designer on board who created the specific design we wanted and they implemented it.

The key functionalities were mainly the search bar on our index page. It had to communicate well with the map which was created by them as well. The map is connected to the filter which filters all the properties that are on the platform. The three features are all connected.

What is the team composition?

We worked with Alexandra (Business Development Manager) on financial matters. There was one senior-level developer, one mid-level developer, and one junior level developer.

How did you come to work with Resty-app?

Alexandra found me on LinkedIn. We were using another provider from my country but we weren’t satisfied with the outcome. We decided to try Resty-app.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested $2,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together on and off from  October 2019 until February 2020.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We launched our platform two weeks ago. We’re doing quite good. We got some new clients and are now looking for investment to grow our business into something bigger and more powerful. I’ve gotten really positive feedback on the platform. Clients are satisfied. We accomplished our goals for version one with the help of Resty-app.

They were very helpful from day one. They’re very focused on a goal like we are. They followed our instructions well and improvised as needed and providing us with the correct answers. They were one of the most professional developers we’ve worked with. They’re very good in terms of coordination.

We liked their price and quality of the project. Everything is perfect. We’re still in contact. They write to me asking if we need more support. We’re investing in marketing and promotion right now but will work with them again in the future. We’re 100% satisfied.

How did Resty-app perform from a project management standpoint?

We had regular Skype calls. If something wasn’t correct, we would set a date for a conference call. The project management was good compared to what we paid. Communication wasn’t that frequent but mainly because we paid less money than they required. We told them they could take their time and they employed a junior developer. They managed to do the work.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They deliver good quality for a good price.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing we’d have them improve. We instructed them and they delivered.
