BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO at Transcenda. We’re a design and engineering services organization.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Sirin Software?
We were looking for people really specialized in the area that Sirin Software is specialized in, and needed some expertise that we didn’t have in-house. We were looking to build a specific software solution and do some prototyping of experimental features for satellite communication software.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They did some full lifecycle development using C++ language. However, I can’t share exactly what was built because it’s under an NDA.
What is the team composition?
We worked with several different engineers, including a project manager.
How did you come to work with Sirin Software?
We heard really good feedback about them from different people and clients. They also have a lot of deep expertise and experience in really niche areas.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent around $50,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from February–December 2020.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We had sprints that we worked with them on, and they were able to achieve all of the commitments they made. The quality of the delivery was strong, and they delivered everything they said they were going to deliver on time and within budget. As a business impact, we were able to deliver in the timeline we needed to deliver, which was really important to us.
How did Sirin Software perform from a project management standpoint?
Sirin Software had really strong project management and really cared about getting the job done. The engineers were available, communicative, open, honest, transparent, and always delivered what they promised on time.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The most impressive aspect about Sirin Software was the quality of their work — I would definitely hire them again.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I don’t think Sirin Software can improve their services. I would give them a perfect score for the work they did. As far as the next steps for them, they can keep growing their teams, so if we have larger engagements they can help us out.
Any advice for potential customers?
Make sure that you’re able to share what your business goals are because they should be able to get the job done.

Sirin Software was a partner of a software development company. They conducted smart city research, and from that built a hardware-software smart parking solution.
The client was satisfied with their partnership with Sirin Software. Deliverables were met on time and within expectations, resulting in a smooth workflow. Customers can expect an easy-going communication and an expertise-driven approach from the team.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm a CTO at a software development company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Sirin Software, and what were your goals?
We needed experienced specialists to conduct in-depth, non-commerce smart city research and build a full-on hardware-software smart parking solution based on complex technologies and consisting of sensors, cloud storage, web dashboard, and mobile app.
SOLUTION
How did you select Sirin Software and what were the deciding factors?
We knew from the start that Sirin Software is a well-tried-and-tested team of specialists that we and some of our partners had worked with in the past. One kick-off project discussion was enough to understand that the guys have what it takes to cope with the task.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
The smart city research was only an initial phase of the software/hardware-powered parking project. Based on it, the devs at Sirin had to create a flexible, easy-to-use smart parking solution working for both operators and customers.
Namely, the team had to implement a system that can be accessed via a web dashboard or a mobile app to monitor and interact with interconnected parking sensors, and store all the accumulated data in the cloud.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
4 specialists in total - 3 Software Engineers and 1 Project Manager.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
Not a single deadline was missed and the guys really tried to analyze our specifications as closely as they could. We were glad to receive recommendations and practical improvements to what we had in mind and were generally very pleased with an all-around expertise-driven approach.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
We had regular meetings and discussions to set goals, clarify milestones, analyze the work done, settle with deadlines, and go through deliverables. Everything was smooth, subsequent, and hassle-free.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
We enjoyed the most the easy-going manner of communication that we established with the guys from the get-go.
The rest just came naturally - Sirin Software specialists have enough background to clearly structure even a complex project, build it step by step most productively, and delivering a turn-key solution that should both benefit us and save our users’ time and money.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
I really don’t think so.

Sirin Software's work helped to resolve the client's wifi problem, which will make a positive impact on business relationships and product performance. Having good project management skills, the team kept the client updated and was very straightforward. They were very open and honest.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
We make industrial wearables and cloud enterprise software for a variety of industries including warehousing and military applications. I am the VP.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Sirin Software?
We have custom firmware that we use for our main wearable device that runs Android and we needed an upgrade to improve wifi connectivity.
What were your goals for this project?
We needed to increase the wifi performance and ensure our customers had a better user experience.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor?
After speaking to a number of different vendors, we decided to go with Sirin because they were knowledgeable about firmware, they were highly detailed, and they were willing to work with us on pricing and leadtimes.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
They took our source code and upgraded the wifi firmware to a more recent release. They tested several version for us and found the one latest one that was compatible and implemented it. After a round of feedback from our customers who were testing it, they made a revision to complete the work.
What was the team composition?
We worked primarily with their developer that they assigned to us and their lead business development manager. The CEO occasionally stepped in when necessary as well.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
Our wifi was preventing some critical customers from using our platform and the work that Sirin did helped resolve that. This will undoubtedly make a positive impact in our business relationships and the performance of our product.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
We have no complaints about project management, we were updated via email whenever there were updates. Project management tools were not necessary in this project because it was small and straightforward.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Even though Sirin is in a different country than us, we could communicate easily and effectively. We felt like they kept us in the loop well and we could ask for whatever we needed at any point. The relationship was very open and honest.
Are there any areas for improvement?
The only area for improvement would be on development side of things. There was one issue we ran into because something was turned off without our knowledge to get the main task completed, except the feature that was turned off was needed by some customers. In general, the vendor should always ask the customer if it's okay to do something like that before making modifications just in case it's a needed feature.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this

transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the co-founder and VP of sales at Tower IQ, Inc.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Sirin Software?
We had a system that needed to display several different forms of information. We created a rudimentary system on our own, so we wanted to find a vendor to help us develop a more polished product that we can then present and replicate over and over again.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Sirin Software did PCP work and developed different types of software interfaces for us. They used DFSI (Digital Fixed Station Interface), G.hn, and combined other kinds of technology. They've been able to keep up with our requirements, helping us grow our product.
What is the team composition?
They assigned at least 15 developers to our project.
How did you come to work with Sirin Software?
They were recommended to us. We also came across some examples of their work while doing an online search. We had a pool of applicants, but Sirin Software kept surviving round after round. When we got in touch with them personally, they gave us the confidence to fly out there to meet them. We're delighted we did, and we never looked back.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in 2017, and the relationship is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They do high-quality work. As we were growing, Sirin Software adapted and gave us more resources, taking on more complex tasks. Before we engaged them, we were an integrator. We took other people's technologies, put them together, and then sold the product. With the work that Sirin Software has done for us, we have our own product. We turned from an integrator into a manufacturer.
How did Sirin Software perform from a project management standpoint?
They challenge us and let us know if our ideas won't work. At first, their team didn't have perfect English skills, but they invested in their employees to take classes. Now, their language skills are impeccable.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They do what they say they will, so I have high confidence in them. They were willing to grow their team and hire additional people to ensure they can accommodate all of our needs. In some instances, they even outsourced the tasks to a third party, while still managing the project.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't think of anything.

Sirin Software supported the development of software and hardware for a fire alarm control panel system. They used Qt Linux to design an interface from scratch and built specific System-on-Modules.
The quality of Sirin’s deliverables exceeded expectations and they’re quick to repair any bugs. As a transparent, reliable outsourcing partner, they effectively manage time zone challenges and provide detailed documentation. Their talented team takes pride in their work and communicates regularly.
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 president and founder of a radio telecom systems firm. We provide two-way radio communication devices for first responders in high-rise buildings.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Sirin Software?
We needed software and hardware support to develop a dedicated radio console. The console needed to function as a fire alarm control panel for use by first responders as they control and monitor two-way radio communications.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
These type of systems typically rely on a microcontroller-based series of relays and LEDs, but because of our business plan, we needed to have more flexibility. Our user interface needed to be LCD-based and adaptable enough for use in a number of markets, including New York City and Boston.
We provided a graphical user interface outline. From here, they used Qt Linux to develop the interface software from scratch, ensuring it could communicate with the APIs. They also developed a few automated, industry-compliant software packages for us. In terms of hardware, they used a System-on-Module that they developed for a specific platform.
While we provided a broad overview of the system architecture and the necessary radio frequency (RF) protocols, we handled the RF side ourselves.
Nearing completion with the initial job, we’ve hired Sirin for two additional projects. One involves our Amazon Web Services custom cloud API that connects the web interface to our field devices. We expanded the cloud interface to act as both a monitoring and programming suite. They’re currently engaged in a third project.
What is the team composition?
We initially worked with a primary system architect and they then rapidly scaled up to four developers. Having expanded the scope after completing the MVP, we now have a team of 11 people.
How did you come to work with Sirin Software?
My business partner had previous development experience in Eastern Europe. We did an online search for technical engineers and found Sirin Software. While they’re based in Europe, they also have a small presence in the U.S., which made us more comfortable.
We started with a very small contract. We gave them our product owner requirements and they were able to develop a system architecture within six weeks. My business partner and I visited their headquarters for a presentation and an in-person knowledge exchange. We were very impressed by the results, so we decided to move forward with the full development.
How much have you invested in them?
We’ve spent between $500,000–$1 million.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in March 2016 and our relationship is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They produce quality software. We find occasional bugs, which is normal for any large development project, but they’re always willing to work after hours or on weekends to make the necessary repairs. The hardware also has occasional issues, but nothing out of the ordinary. The quality has exceeded my expectations.
How did Sirin Software perform from a project management standpoint?
The time zone difference has actually worked to our benefit. It allows them to focus on development without interference from our end, and we see the results at the end of each day. Their team also speaks excellent English, so we haven’t run into any translation issues. We communicate regularly through Slack, phone, and web calls, and we have full access to their Scrum boards through Jira.
They’re always able to provide remote field support if needed. Additionally, they provide detailed documentation, especially as it relates to bug repairs.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They have an excellent ability to acquire impressive talent. They also take ownership of their products. This is greatly appreciated, especially since we’re working together to create a safety product responsible for saving lives.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Sirin is completely transparent, but some difficulties arise when working with a Ukrainian company. Shipping components into and out of the country can cause delays due to customs.

transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I was the CEO and owner of Sabai Technology.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Sirin?
We were migrating our embedded platform from Metabase to an OpenWrt base. Aside from OpenWrt embedded development, we needed help addressing driver issues.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Sirin resolved our driver issues very quickly. After Sirin’s initial success, I decided to engage them in larger projects. More and more, we started relying on them to do our OpenWrt embedded development. Aside from embedded Linux, they also handled driver development and remote control development. We developed a system that was heavy on the wireless Wi-Fi side because it could be remotely updated and controlled.
What is the team dynamic?
We usually had 2–3 developers working on our projects. When we first talked to them, there was only Alex [Founder, Sirin Software]. When we engaged them on a full-bore project, they had expanded to four staff. By February this year, there were about 40 of them in the company.
How did you come to work with Sirin?
We originally found them on a contracting website, where we had a fixed and limited engagement to find developers with the expertise we needed.
How much have you invested with them?
We paid $25,000 for their work.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in June 2015, and the engagement ended in February 2017.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Alex and his team got it right the first time. They knew exactly what they were doing and got it finished. Previously, a lot of developers had attempted to solve our problem, but they failed to finish the work.
One of the biggest things about them was their high responsiveness. Also, it was easier to work with Sirin than an in-house group because we could expand or contract our involvement as needed.
How did Sirin perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management skills were weak in the beginning, but it got better as time went on. I saw an increased focus on project management during our collaboration. While they may not have always hit the deadline, part of that was my fault because I often had shifting goals. As a result, the deadlines and scope were constantly changing.
The communication was great. We had a fairly open flow of communication on Slack.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their level of professionalism was outstanding. It was refreshing to work with people who could discuss the issue clearly, understand what was being said, and come up with solutions.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Any time they identified a weakness, you could tell that they were taking steps to fix it. As they grow, they need to make sure that they’re getting the in-house skills and resources they need for certain areas.
