Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The primary goal of the project is to develop a software platform focused on system monitoring for proprietary IoT/robotic devices during real-world deployment, pilot studies, and evaluations. We aimed to address three key aspects: 

• providing support of the proprietary IoT/robotic devices and end-users in case of technical issues, 
• facilitating component updates for the proprietary IoT/robotic devices, and 
• ensuring the displayed device info is privacy-preserving. 

Therefore, it is of paramount importance that this system monitoring and logging platform focuses solely on gathering device info without collecting any user data or interaction details.

Excellent communication and support throughout the project's life cycle, as well as regular calls to check on the project status. Relevant Software is adaptable to our requirements, including technological ones. They are willing to assist, capable of achieving results, and ready to learn.

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

I had expected to factor in a certain amount of time for a learning period of the newest technologies we use, so the fact that we had to account for ‘learning time’ wasn't a huge deal for us.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Founding Partner and Head of Operations at Meliora Medical Group, which operates Return2Play - the UK's leading sports medicine provider for schools, clubs and universities.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Relevant Software, and what were your goals?

We needed full-cycle software development services with business analysis and project management in the DevOps environment. Return2Play is used by many schools in the UK and abroad.

In addition, there was a need to add some new features and remove some of the old ones.

I am the CTO of our company. Our mission is to conduct independent research and create Perceived Quality reports for leading car manufacturers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Relevant Software, and what were your goals?

We needed a reliable partner for a full cycle of software development services to create an MVP for our product. It was essential for us that they start as quickly as possible. Apart from the MVP, we wanted to create a business card site for the company, which would describe our strengths and capabilities in the audit process for the subsequent attraction of investments.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We have chosen Relevant Software, having studied their cases and reviews of former clients. The decisive factor was a clear and detailed proposal with a description of functions and estimates and the availability of engineers for a quick start.

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

That was the first stage in the development of the Intended Future platform. In the future, we plan to turn it into a whole ecosystem to order and store the automotive benchmark reports for perceived quality analysis.

Everything was ok; there were no problems with cooperation.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m a Director of Technology Consulting department at one of Norway's 25 most innovative companies. We deliver software solutions covering the full cycle of development, design and technical consultancy.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Relevant Software, and what were your goals?

I have been working with Relevant for more than 5 years already and we have cooperated on 9 software projects, 5 of them are still in development mode. In most cases, we are working with engineers directly under the dedicated team model.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Usually, we have really tight deadlines for the project to start, and this is where the Relevant team is always supporting us thanks to well-established processes and the ability to find the right engineer in the short term.

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

I was personally known with the CTO, and we were in touch for a while. Then I had a request for a Senior iOS Engineer. Prior to contacting Relevant, I contacted the other companies and was surprised by Relevant approach to the hiring and selection process of the developers.

In addition to that, all projects are different and they are from Healthcare, Aviation, IoT, and other domains. For example, one application is an app that guides doctors step by step through the entire knee brace selection, measurement, and ordering process. Another project is a desktop SAAS platform for fully digitalized engineering and operations – through the Digital twin technology which simplifies communication within the Company through 3D modelling of objects.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

As I mentioned, we are mostly working with 1-3 engineers directly, and always have a Project Coordinator assigned to each project to handle administrative, legal, and accounting questions.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

As a result, they provided me with a very skilled engineer with a proven track record of delivering projects and a good level of speaking English.

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

Our cooperation has been smooth and easy.

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

Level of expertise in engineering, terms of closing required positions.

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

None.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am a visual artist and the sole proprietor of the business.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Relevant Software helped me develop a couple of community art projects, one that involved artists worldwide and one that collected Covid stories for a public art installation.

Those two projects were quite complex. It consists of different parts, including a user upload page for pictures and text, the site allows users to crop pictures into perfect squares, change contrast, and write text. Once that data is uploaded into a database, the main drawing changes to include the user picture into one square tile of a digital mosaic. This mosaic is zoomable and searchable, a bit like Google Maps. There is also a blog part where I can post updates and contact information.

Relevant software also helps me regularly with the maintenance of my other websites. They recently very successfully totally redesigned my blog to make it look cleaner, modern and more professional. The transition to the new design went very smoothly despite my blog being quite complex, as it includes the blog part but also an online courses system with a shopping cart and users database as well as a grading system and feedback.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

The transition to the new design went very smoothly. I also ask them to fix my artist website or my life drawing website whenever they have technical issues, they usually are able to do so within a very reasonable time.

How did Relevant Software perform from a project management standpoint?

We have kept in touch to see how the project was evolving. They always replied to our emails promptly. We didn’t have a fixed deadline, so it wasn’t an important issue for us. When Relevant Software gave us a completion date, it was followed most of the time.

Project summary

Relevant Software built a unique platform that combines images into a unified mosaic. Users can upload, edit, search, and view individual images. Developers also integrated an email newsletter on the backend.

Feedback summary

Relevant Software was the only vendor who grasped the project requirements during the bidding process, and the team delivered satisfactory results on time. The developers even added special features at no extra charge. Relevant Software was quick to fix bugs and answer concerns.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am a visual artist and the sole proprietor of the business.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Relevant Software?

I had an idea for a collective art project. Initially, it would be web-based, but it could be hosted physically later on. The project would be a large mosaic picture — a pixelated piece made up of photography and drawings uploaded by users. This collective artwork would have more than 10,000 participants. Anyone can upload up to 4 drawings along with text content. Each image would represent one tile of the mosaic picture. I paint forest scenes, so I chose the subject because it’s related to what I do.

The main challenge for me was displaying this picture. I wanted to have a zoom feature similar to that of Google Maps. I also wanted pictures to be searchable by name, country, and keywords. I know how to build simple websites, but this one was too much for me given the database, map display, and everything else.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Relevant Software developed my website, which was quite complex. It consists of different parts, including a user upload page and a page where people can fill out forms with their names, emails, and location. The site allows users to crop pictures into perfect squares, change contrast, and write text. Once that data is uploaded into a database, the main drawing changes to include the user picture into one square tile. The main picture is zoomable and searchable. There is also a blog part where I can post updates and contact information.

We had one main point of contact from Relevant Software, and we also interacted with one of their developers. The communication was simple, given that I have web design knowledge. I haven’t used Relevant Software’s services for other websites.

How did you come to work with Relevant Software?

My husband and I looked for and contacted many companies. We would usually start with a Skype interview. Most of the developers were good at building simple websites, but they didn’t understand what we wanted. As soon as we contacted Relevant Software, we could see that they understood exactly what we were talking about.

How much have you invested with Relevant Software?

The cost of their work has been around $15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Relevant Software in January 2017. From start to finish, it took us 4 months, which was great. The platform was completed in April. It has been launched, and it is working well.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

People have loved the idea. This was not something I did in order to make money, but I may decide to monetize parts of the website in the long-term. The participation is great, but it’s dependent on our effort on the social media side. I have done a lot of marketing for the site on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. We also have an automated MailChimp newsletter. People who participate in it receive updates from us. I have also started looking for sponsors, and a few companies are providing giveaways for participation.

Relevant Software has helped with this effort by building an extra page where people can share specific drawings based on the main picture. This wasn’t in the initial specifications. They have also made it so that participants’ email addresses were added automatically to our MailChimp list. We had to fix a few bugs when the site went live, but Relevant Software was prompt in addressing them.

How did Relevant Software perform from a project management standpoint?

We have kept in touch to see how the project was evolving. They always replied to our emails promptly. We didn’t have a fixed deadline, so it wasn’t an important issue for us. When Relevant Software gave us a completion date, it was followed most of the time.

What did you find most impressive about Relevant Software?

I always felt that Relevant Software was listening to us and doing the best they could. There will always be items that aren’t possible to build from a technical standpoint, and we have to understand that as a customer. As long as it was possible, Relevant Software tried to make us happy.

Are there any areas Relevant Software could improve?

Not from our experience. I didn’t have any frustrations.
