The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

HireNova is a local job board which is used by recruiters and local business to find new hires by leveraging the power of social media. I am the founder of HireNova.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire RIVO AGENCY?

I hire RIVO AGENCY to help create the job board platform on WordPress.

What were your goals for this project?

My goals were to: - find an affordable developer within budget - create a beautiful and interactive website - ensure branding was great - ensure I understood all the technical languages - ensure communication was always open

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

The vendor was recommended to me by another agency.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

They created the website as I worked with a project manager. Rivo has been very helpful in ensuring I understand the technicalities of what is being built when I’ve requested for features. They’ve given great advice and guidance throughout the process.

What was the team composition?

So far I have worked with the project manager and web developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

The business has not been launched since the platform is still being built. The impact cannot yet be seen.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Project management hasn’t been too tough or confusing. I’m able to easily communicate with my project manager on my concerns. It’s been very effective thus far.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I've found they put the client first before the money. It’s important to work with people who want to build your vision.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Areas of improvement would be in the following areas: - Web design is on an amateur level. The web designer does not bring up fresh new concept in web design. I had to find my own web designer to build out the home page. - QA is not great. As someone who is not a web developer, I had to request for a lot of changes and review of the site. Some pages weren’t responsive and other pages were not design in a friendly manner for the user. This will make the client frustrated since QA should be part of the project space. - The project has been on hold for a long time due to features not being built. It would be great to give reasonable timelines on when a project could be completed. - There is no signed contract or receipt for when a project begins. Just in case there are any liabilities at the end of the day. - There is no document of price on web features that you’re paying for so you won’t get over charged.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

The work performed by RIVO agency is reliable and consistently lives up to the highest standard of quality. Their team is flexible and communicative, maintaining consistent back-and-forth with the client’s project managers to ensure that all milestones and deliverables are completed on time.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

My organization is an agency that does a lot of development and design work, and I am the CEO and founder.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with RIVO AGENCY?

We have overflow work in some cases, typically when we take on new clients or get new feature- and product requests but have other tasks to finish and may not be ready to get people working on them. RIVO AGENCY has been helping us for the past few years to complete a lot of that overflow work.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

RIVO AGENCY performs a wide variety of development work for us depending on the type of project that we have for them. We assign a few of them to the project that needs help, and they integrate into the larger team. The specific work that they do can range from cryptocurrency wallets and mining software to regular mobile applications in all kinds of languages.

What is the team composition?

They usually provide an average of 3–5 people per project, and we have a few other members of their team who work with us on an almost full-time basis.

How did you come to work with RIVO AGENCY?

We have two offices in Ukraine, and one of the developers that we hired there had previously worked for their company. He was able to recommend them to us, and we started out with just a small project but really loved their work. Our employee was a fantastic developer, so that gave us the confidence to take the initial step, and from there we just hit it off perfectly.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $100,000 with them in total.

What is the status of this engagement?

The partnership began in November 2018 and is still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

It can be incredibly difficult to find really high-quality development work on as short notice as we need it, and RIVO AGENCY is able to fill that need for us perfectly. I’ve worked with a lot of agencies in this line of work, and I’ve never been as happy with how they performed. Not only is the communication great, but they come through 100% of the time, so I am very satisfied.

How did RIVO AGENCY perform from a project management standpoint?

I like them as project managers, and we have been able to avoid having any problems because of how organized they are. They do a good job of communicating with our project managers and making sure that they are always on top of whatever deadlines or deliverables we have for them at the time.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I can’t reiterate enough how difficult is to find a reliable agency that delivers quality work, but these guys are one of the few. The service RIVO AGENCY offers is exactly what I was looking for.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Overall, it’s been completely satisfactory, so I don’t think I would suggest that anything be changed.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice with any agency would be to just try them out. Give them a small project and see how it goes, and you can make a more informed decision from there.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m CEO at ODEX startup. This is a fashion retail startup. During the collaboration, the startup was at the stage of product-market fit. And we were finalizing the MVP.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire RIVO AGENCY?

Before we found RIVO, we had been developing our website for a long time with another large company, and at some point we realized that we needed a company with a faster response to changes. Because we were Start up and we had to make changes often and quickly. With Rivo, we finalized the functionality of our website.

What were your goals for this project?

Our task was to finalize the MPV according to customer requests, to cooperate quickly, to make changes, test and approve edits fast. Rivo coped with this excellently.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

When we decided to change the vendor, we searched online: but basically we asked friends about recommendations. Thus, we have collected 4 recommendations. After talking with everyone, we found out that it was Rivo who specialize in the CMS system on which our site was built. Also, prices, terms and conditions of work fully satisfied us.

Describe the project in detail.

As soon as we agreed the cooperation, we made several skype calls to discuss further work, plans, and coordination of our goals. After that, we provided the first task pool. We were added to the task tracking system, where we could see how our tasks are progressing, how much is left, give comments, and so on.

What was the team composition?

Initially, we talked about all the details of cooperation with the CEO of the company. Then, through the task-tracking system, we communicated directly with the developers, depending on the tasks. There were 3 developers in total working with us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

From the first days of cooperation, we significantly increased the speed of development and introduction of changes, reduced the time from setting the task to its implementation. Which was very important for a startup at our stage. We were able to test various options of our product much faster.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Communication with each member of the team was very simple and friendly. Our tasks were completed on time. We communicated in Slack for fast response.

If we had questions or we would like to receive information about alternative ways of solving our problems, we were provided with an answer from an hour to a day, depending on the complexity of our question.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We were impressed by the speed and accuracy, we had no misunderstandings, RIVO often could offer a faster and more convenient way to solve our problem. And yet we did not feel like customers and RiVO performers.

Together, we were the members of the same team, united around one aim. It was pleasant to communicate during the project and after. We became good friends, although we never saw each other live.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We were completely satisfied. Everything was perfect.
