What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
It’s hard to find good people. When you find someone that will be honest with you and communicate their thoughts without judgment, they become family. this has become so much more. We always rely on this team now because they’re honest, and that’s absolutely key in this space. And they never overbill, either. I never have to question their invoices. They also act ethically and morally. We’ll continue to work with them.
They’re always scanning for new tech to make things more optimized and cost-effective. They don’t just sit there and spend money on servers or software programs that no one is using, which so many companies make a mistake doing. They tell us what’s new and what’s coming out.
How did Rocket Harbor perform from a project management standpoint?
We work between Jira and Asana, and then a little bit on Trello. I’m trying to condense as much as possible. We used to have more, but we condensed them onto Asana when I learned we could use it for more. Their new plugins help as well.
What did you find most impressive about them?
It’s the honesty and the sheer talent of the team. We do things nobody else can do. The reason we’re in this position as a company is that we’ve gotten things done in a fast amount of time. The speed versus the cost has been amazing. We’ve put ourselves at a $30 million valuation in two years.
Their team is brilliant, and I’m not just saying that because I work with them every day. They’re also humble. Unlike other developers, this team understands what we’re trying to accomplish and try to hit and play all the edge cases. They question me all the time, which I love since we’re talking about pretty technological stuff.
We have fourteen people here, seven people there, and we interact as one unit and team. It’s not work; it’s fun.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I could take in funding so I can hire a bigger team from them.
Rocket Harbor implemented Azure DevOps services, which enables efficient product updates and continuous product improvements. The team produces timely deliverables and communicates potential challenges to support transparency. Their skillsets and flexibility result in a lasting partnership.
