Roonyx

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO and Founder. Our company is a fast-growing startup that helps people find the best doctors, schedule appointments, leave feedback, pay for the visits, and do many other things. Our team needed a strong backend developer and a UI specialist

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

Our goal is to launch an MVP of the health app to allow people to find the best doctors as soon as possible. The team was 2-3 weeks late from the initial roadmap, that cast doubt on an MVP launch date.

How did you select Roonyx and what were the deciding factors?

I’ve held a couple of meetings with the developers from various software development companies. Developers from Roonyx seemed to be the best choice since they think not only about coding but about the product and it’s users as well, which is a crucial advantage

2 Laravel developers, 1 React developer and a project manager for the operational matters

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

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

As I said before, they helped us with the communication processes and arranged meetings to be efficient

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

Their ability to make the project better for users, and not just complete tasks in Trello, is impressive. It’s always good to have partnership relations, not just customer-provider

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

More backend technologies in their stack would be great

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of a social services company based in Germany.

What challenge were you trying to address with Roonyx?

We started developing an ERP using two internal developers, and we wanted to expand our capabilities and speed. Particularly, we were having difficulties with the frontend of the system so we needed support.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Roonyx is developing the frontend of our platform. The platform is mainly based on AngularJS, so they’re working within that technology. We’re planning to engage a backend Java developer from their team, starting next month.

What is the team composition?

At the moment, Roonyx is providing one frontend developer. Our internal developers are in direct communication with him. 

How did you come to work with Roonyx?

I reviewed multiple companies and freelancers on Upwork. I gave each candidate a small task and had our internal developers check the work. Roonyx didn’t have the lowest price, but they had the highest quality of work, and that was the most important thing for us.

We set up a call with their sales representative, who went over their services, how they work, prices, and the testing period details. We signed a contract, after which we had a kickoff call with their engineers, where they presented the person who would be working for us.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $20,000 on their work so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the project internally two years ago, and we brought Roonyx in June 2020. We plan to bring more automation to the platform, so the work will continue working with them for at least one more year.

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

Everyone in our company who is using the software is satisfied with it. Any bugs we’ve identified were quickly fixed by Roonyx.

How did Roonyx perform from a project management standpoint?

Our internal backend developer is the main person responsible for the project. He reviews all code from Roonyx, and he creates tasks for them. So far, they’ve delivered everything according to the estimates they gave us. When they give us a delivery date, they stick to it. 

They use a tracking system that shows us how much time was spent on each task, along with screenshots from the developer’s computer.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The process has moved faster since we brought Roonyx on and their developer produces high-quality work. I know I can rely on them.

Most importantly, our internal backend developer always says that their code is perfect.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I’m completely satisfied with them so far.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

It’s important to describe tasks and goals accurately. This was one of their requirements from the beginning.

After selecting Roonyx we held a kick-off meeting with key stakeholders to discuss goals in detail. Then they came up with a high-level roadmap, which was pretty transparent. After that mockups were created and then designed. We chose features for MVP which was scheduled to release in a month. After the start of the development process, there were demos every week. Within a month we launched MVP version for beta-testers and got first feedback from users, that helped us rethink next features

There was a choice between several software developers, but Roonyx’s offer stood out the most relevant, as they had a valuable experience in the industry and were recommended to us by our dealers, who already worked with them previously.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

At first we had an interview. Then the technical specifications were provided they estimated the cost and the scope of the project. The project had to be done from scratch, so they performed a thorough technical analysis of our processes, cooperated with dealerships and, based on their experience, suggested features, that would benefit us.

What was the team composition?

We had a project manager to keep in touch with, but they also hired a business analyst to help look into company’s process. Overall, there were front-end and back-end developers, QA and even an account manager to support the compliance with the legal regulations and company policies, that have to be addressed even on a daily basis.

The product they created supplemented the digital environment, that our dealers can use to order from, while keeping all the paperwork transparent and easily accessible. The problems that we had with car distribution virtually disappeared, as everything is now easy, fast and reliable, hence not subject to human errors. We also got integration features and automated data source, which improved day-to-day effectiveness of our sales and marketing managers.
