We were short on development resources. As we were in a rush, and we weren’t able to handle our backlog, we needed to outsource rather than hire people internally.

The team was working on a mobile app that was in React Native with a Laravel backend. The app, a wheelchair catalog for disabled people, was built from scratch. Stafflancer took care of the API development, as well as a bit of the admin.

How did Stafflancer perform from a project management standpoint?

In terms of professionalism with the backlog and with communication, they were very good. There were a lot of touchpoints on their side. The team asked a lot of questions and when they were lacking something, they would ask. In terms of their work, it was very, very good.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their proactivity really stands out.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There was a miscommunication during the presell, but it was also my responsibility to have checked things well about what the delivery would be at the end. Other than that, in terms of development, it was good. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have a clear background. They are technically very good and are proactive in terms of questions. Our problem was that our brief was more commercial than technical.
