Salt & Pepper made a ticketing platform with an accompanying ticket scanning app. The app allowed event managers to promote their event and sell tickets quickly. There's a split payment process for commissions.
Currently, the solution serves as the core of the business. Salt & Pepper continues to come up with new ideas to improve the platform. There are some blind spots due to team seniority, but the team strives to be helpful to their clients.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
We are selling online tickets for concerts, clubs, pubs, theaters and any other public or private events that needs a ticketing platform. I am the general manager of the company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Salt & Pepper?
We have hired Salt & Pepper for developing our online ticketing platform and our ticket scanning mobile app.
What were your goals for this project?
Our main goal for this project was to develop a self ticketing platform. Here the promoter or the event manager can create an event and can start selling tickets with no technical knowledge needed. In under 3 minutes the event can be up and running.
Also, another main goal was to implement a split payment process between our commission and the remaining sum from the ticket price which is automatically transferred into the promoter bank account in 3 business days.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor?
There were two other vendors, but they didn't have the experience and the knowledge to develop such a complex platform. Here we found a great team, always willing to improve our app and with great ideas.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
They made the entire project, design, configuration, development and so on. I have presented my idea, and once we approved the mockups and wireframes, the production began in the form of 2 week sprints. Also, I was always in touch with the team and I was there if something was unclear.
What was the team composition?
The team has about 6 members. We have a project manager with whom we are in direct contact, but we are interacting with the developers and the designers too.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
We can easily say that this project is our business core. The entire activity of the company is developed around this ticketing platform developed by Salt & Pepper.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
We are having a junior project manager who is trying his best and we really appreciate that. We had some little timeline problems, but overall everything is ok.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The team is always coming up with new ideas to improve the platform and always when we are having some problems in production, they are here to help as soon as possible.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Given the fact that the company is still at a very young age, you can see some blind spots in regards with their employees seniority. I think that they will need to think about investing in hiring more experienced or senior software engineers.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the CTO of the company currently called FastOrder, we provide SaaS solutions for the hospitality industry. At the moment we have a product for online food ordering and another one for virtual concierge in luxury hotels
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Salt & Pepper?
We are launching a new product for corporate lunch, called Group Order, where corporate employees can easily order food together for delivery, the food being delivered at the same time so they can eat together without waiting for all the deliveries to arrive and without the hustle of organising a group order
What were your goals for this project?
This project should be a tailor made food ordering app for corporate lunch, taking in consideration the work environment and how employees interact with each other during lunch time, as well as consider that work related issues can come up during lunch that we have to handle in the app so that it doesn't affect the whole group
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor?
We chose Salt & Pepper because besides having the best design portfolio we've seen, they can also guide though the process of discovering all the user flows and behaviours through the ordering process.
Describe the project in detail.
At the beginning we've had a detailed briefing about our expectations on the project. Following our expectations, Salt & Pepper came up with new ideas and also suggested we give up some of ours which was a good thing and we agreed to most of them. They went beyond the design process and also came up with marketing ideas that could be tied up to some decisions. Once we've had all the details in place we've moved on building the wireframes for the whole up, afterwards we've agreed on the design guidelines and finally they've extended the design to the whole app and prepared the design and branding guidelines book.
What was the team composition?
There were 3 team members from the beginning until the end: the design team lead monitoring the project and intervened when necessary, the designer that executed the project and a project manager which made sure all the deadlines were respected or adjusted the deadlines and budgets when necessary
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We had very high expectations for this project which were reached. Besides the clean design, user friendly experience, we are most happy for their idea of designing this product similar to other tools corporate employees use (Like Jira, Gmail, Slack) so that it fits among them
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
We've been using Jira and Invision. The workflow was comfortable for us, we've always felt things are in control and also everything was transparent. Also deadlines were always met
What did you find most impressive about this company?
What we find most impressive, being also the reason we've chose to work with them, is that they go beyond the technical product into understanding the whole business and user context and experience, and they contribute on multiple areas leading to a comprehensive product
Are there any areas for improvement?
We didn't find any major areas that are worthed for improvement. Maybe the communication could have been a little bit easier but considering that we've started this project together with the corona virus crisis and everyone was adapting to the new way of working, I think everything was allright.

Salt & Pepper designed and developed an iOS fitness app. The app uses AI technology and becomes customized as users enter personal exercise information.
The team delivered a high-quality product, and its success in the App Store portends well. Salt & Pepper always responds quickly and delivers great value for their services.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder of Cambridge Exercise Technology, a fit-tech business.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Salt & Pepper?
I needed a partner to create my AI-based fitness app.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Salt & Pepper created my entire AI app. They created the UI/UX, the backend, the rules engine for the AI, the API, and the fronted.
The app is exclusively available on iOS currently, and we’re talking about expanding to Android very soon.
Our app creates smart workouts. The process is as follows: The user goes through our onboarding stage, in which we take in what equipment the user has, what goals they want to achieve, how often they’d like to train, and how long they’d like to train for. Once we have those parameters, the platform shoots out a workout. As the user goes through the workout, the app asks them how many reps they did, what weight they used, how hard they found the exercise, and how well they performed it; with that information, the workouts become bespoke for the user, and the system automatically updates any changes or progress the user experiences.
What is the team composition?
We worked with six people in total. Cristin (CEO, Salt & Pepper) was the head of our project. Adrian (Creative Director, Salt & Pepper) was in charge of everything involving design. Alexandru (Mobile Team Lead/iOS App Developer) was the head of programming. I mainly spoke with Adrian and Alexandru throughout the whole process.
How did you come to work with Salt & Pepper?
I first heard about Salt & Pepper through one of my advisors, who used them in the past. My business was awarded an innovation grant from the European Regional Development Fund. Salt & Pepper said they could do exactly what we wanted with the amount we were awarded.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I think they boosted the quality of the product. From talking to similarly priced businesses about how they wanted to design the app, I got far more from Salt & Pepper than I was going to get anywhere else. I think the product developed more professionally than I would have gotten in the UK. I believe it’s been great from an overall functionality and reliability standpoint. We release into the App Store sometime this week, and the true test will be to see how the users like it.
They took exactly what I wanted, as a concept, and helped me curate it. There were certain pitfalls that we had to work through, but I think we created a better product, overall.
How did Salt & Pepper perform from a project management standpoint?
They performed very well in terms of project management. We were in constant communication throughout the whole process. They messaged me on Slack, in case they had any questions. In terms of fixing issues and communication, everything was very good.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I found them very impressive, in terms of responsiveness, even though we were in different time zones. If I ever had a question, it was almost immediately answered,
Are there any areas they could improve?
I don’t think there’s anything on their end they could improve upon. Together we could’ve been a bit clearer about a couple of different things I laid out.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
There’s a large benefit in traveling out and meeting them in Romania. Additionally, having as much information as possible, and sending that to them in a very concise and easy manner, will make the project run very smoothly. Finally, as with any remote projects, constant communication is crucial.
