Soshace

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

Soshace has provided excellent work to this point. They are professional, and they accomplish our tasks on time.

How did Soshace perform from a project management standpoint?

Instead of having an intermediary project manager form their agency, we communicated directly with the developers, which is our preference. They feel like full-time members of our team because of that arrangement. Soshace has a talented network of engineers in many time zones so that we can work around the clock. We communicate well using Jira, Confluence, and Slack.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Our team is quite technical, so we appreciate that the absence of a project manager allows us to work directly with the engineers completing the work. Further, the price range is really competitive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Soshace has proven their ability to find developers all around the world, but I think they would be better off by creating small teams of 2–3 people that have previous experience working together. For our project, it took a little while to figure out the group chemistry because the engineers had never worked together before.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Soshace has team members in many different countries, including the United States, so it’s important for future clients to pick the time zone they are comfortable with.

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

In the current market, it's very difficult to find a developer that fits specific business needs. Even though we needed non-standard resources, Soshace sourced the right type of resource extremely quickly. 

The developer they found works quite efficiently. In the month and a half he’s worked for us, I’ve only seen good things so far. He had a minimal learning curve and has produced very high-quality work.

Soshace made the entire process very clear, simple, and easy. They supported me every step of the way.  Many companies will harass clients to make faster decisions, but I never felt pressed on time at all. I was pleasantly surprised.

How did Soshace perform from a project management standpoint?

Unlike the tendency in the industry to over-promise and under-deliver, Soshace stuck to their promises. We set up very tight deadlines, and they promptly provided a valuable development resource who always delivers either on or before the deadline. 

Our company's CTO communicates with the developer directly. They have daily check-ins via Skype, which they also use for ad hoc discussions and to contact the other developers and designers on the team.  

What did you find most impressive about them?

Soshace’s transparent pricing and excellent customer service set them apart from the competition. Their slogan seems to be "the client is always right." It can be challenging to help someone like me who lacks development knowledge find the perfect programmer. Based on their high-level technical knowledge, they connected us with the right resource.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there are none.  

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I advise being upfront and transparent about the budget and requirements you feel comfortable with. If you don't have the required technical expertise, have someone like your CTO write these documents. 

Express what you're willing to spend on a developer per month and provide a simple outline of the development work you need. I'm sure they have other account managers, but I highly recommend Alina. She was excellent. 

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

We’re very satisfied with their work. So far all the code that was delivered with the highest quality level and cooperation is very promising. 

How did Soshace perform from a project management standpoint?

We work in an agile environment, with scheduled daily meetings. For additional communication, we use Slack, Jira, and Asana.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The engineer assigned to our project is the best one I’ve ever met. The work consistently exceeds my expectations. They require minimal supervision, working largely autonomously.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, it’s been a good experience.

Any advice for potential customers?

We’ve worked with several development companies with more resources, and Soshace is outperforming all of them. They’re communicative, hard-working, and committed to delivering what they promise.
