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

As far, we did not find anything for improvement, but if the company can add more payment options, it will be more convenient for customers.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

My name is Rochia Burt and I'm working as a project manager.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Suffescom Solutions?

I was looking for advancement on a platform that we’d been working on. We were working on a similar platform for the last six months, and I was looking for a good company that could build a similar platform.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They designed the website for us, delivering a white-level solution after I drew a similar platform. The unit app system was already in place, so they just needed to put in my requirement and customize it according to our business needs.

For the programming language, I chose Ruby and HTML5, as they are more reliable. We started with the libraries: JavaScript, jQuery, and Fancy Box. We discussed all the details, and I was quite impressed with the presentation of their demo.

I provide them with content to post on the website, as it requires less content, and I wanted different content for the project.

What is the team composition?

I have interacted with about five people from their team. There is a project manager (my main point of contact), two developers, and two designers.

How did you come to work with Suffescom Solutions?

I searched on the internet and found them among the top companies. I gave them a call, and they were very professional and accommodative. They explained everything in detail and gave a 30-minute demo that was quite impressive.

How much have you invested with them?

I have spent about $55,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The partnership began in November 2021, and it's still ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I am quite impressed with the work they’ve done and how they’ve coordinated everything. They have delivered high-quality work.

How did Suffescom Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

They were amazing in terms of management and also worked with the agreed-upon budget. I paid 30% after seeing the demo, another 30% after the project was sent to the market, and the final payment will be paid after testing. In terms of communication, we used email and Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They have efficient technologies and are also very affordable. I was looking for a company that could work with my budget and was happy to find them. Their work satisfied me, as they customized the website to my liking.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Due to the different time zones, communication can sometimes take time because they needed my approval on certain things. It's not a problem because they need my consent before deciding on anything.

Any advice for potential customers?

Hire them; they’re good at what they do and they have good knowledge about technology.  

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm a product manager at a digital marketplace.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Suffescom Solutions?

We needed their team to build a web application for our buy-and-sell customers.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Suffescom Solutions has initially built a prototype based on our design preferences and ideas. We've particularly asked them to build a Themeforest-like platform that allows users to upload and download templates. They're currently in the process of deploying design and development solutions, mostly relying on Google API, Python, and HTML.

What is the team composition?

We worked with seven resources from their team, including two designers, three developers, one project manager, and one member from the finance team.

How did you come to work with Suffescom Solutions?

We were looking for web developers online and conducted a few interviews. Suffescom Solutions met our qualifications because they understood our needs and offered affordable services.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent $75,000 so far.

What is the status of the engagement?

Our ongoing engagement with Suffescom Solutions started in November 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We haven't launched the product yet, so there are no quantitative metrics to share at this point. Suffescom Solutions has conducted a product demonstration to gather our feedback, and they're still implementing changes based on what they've collected.

How did Suffescom Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicate via Microsoft Teams and email. They have reliable project management skills, and we can always count on their team to attend to our requests.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We're most impressed with their high level of accommodation and cost-effective services.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We can benefit from longer work hours from their end. Additionally, Suffescom Solutions can consider onboarding a local translator.

Any advice for potential customers?

Don't hesitate to try Suffescom Solutions' services — you'll have nothing to lose by choosing their team.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a product manager at Prime Firms. I look after IT projects and the features of our web app. I also coordinate with the development team, which is Suffescom Solutions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Suffescom Solutions?

We went to them to develop our app.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Suffescom Solutions is developing our web platform using PHP and MySQL from scratch: their work is not based on an existing app or template. They also use Bootstrap and React for the frontend. In addition, they’re developing our hybrid mobile app, and it’s still in the early stages.

We gave them a pdf containing all the functionalities, deadlines, and other information they needed. We also asked them to sign an NDA. We didn’t have very specific ideas in terms of design, but Suffescom Solutions showed us a couple of examples. We just wanted a simple interface that was easy to load and easy to see; we didn’t want a complicated design.

The platform connects local vendors to suppliers and customers. An example would be connecting a business that sells scrap locally to a person that buys scrap in bulk. Vendors can list all their services in detail on our portal and have themselves found. It’s a mixture of B2B and B2C, and sales are done exclusively through bids. As a business model, we charge a small commission on the winning bid.

We’re focusing only on development for now, and they’re currently revitalizing the prototype they showed us. After we have a good app and web portal, we’ll start considering a marketing company in our budget.

What is the team composition?

The team consists of one project manager, three web developers, three mobile developers, and one designer. The project manager is my sole point of contact, and I only talked to their senior developer a few times about the functionalities I wanted.

How did you come to work with Suffescom Solutions?

I found Suffescom Solutions on Google. I looked at 2–3 other options that we could afford, and I chose Suffescom Solutions because the prototypes they shared matched what we were looking for.

How much have you invested with them?

Our total project cost is $50,000, and I’ve paid them $30,000–$35,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our project started in July 2021, and it’s ongoing. The project is 50% done.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I’d been in contact with some local firms before Suffescom Solutions, but they failed to deliver what I was looking for. Suffescom Solutions has done a good job, but I know that no company could perfectly satisfy my expectations. There would always be something missing in software development. I’d rate the team almost a perfect score since they’ve met my expectations.

How did Suffescom Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

They generally have good communication skills, but there have been a couple of times when they misunderstood me and delivered something different from what we requested. Most of the issues have been related to the bidding functionality we wanted.

We use Teams for live chat and video calls, and Trello for product reports, hourly reports, project management, and assigning tasks. I prefer recording the audio or video calls to compare against their weekly reports.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They have reasonable prices for their web and mobile app development services. Other companies I’ve been in touch with asked me for $100,000 for the same work. The price Suffescom gave us was half of that and that’s great because we’re a startup.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They should consider extending their working hours. They don’t work on holidays and weekends. If they’re working with someone that wants their project delivered as soon as possible, they should extend their working days to include Saturday and Sunday.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

They offer affordable services, but you should have some idea of the concept and design you want them to create. If you do that, you won’t have a hard time explaining what you need to them. In our case, we faced too many issues with the auction functionality we wanted to implement and their developers found it too hard to understand what it is and how it works.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am an emerging food entrepreneur and have been running a cafe successfully for the past two years in Australia.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

After the pandemic, the sales of my cafe came down tremendously, due to which it has been challenging to maintain the incoming money daily. Therefore, I searched for an app development company that could aid me to take my brick-and-mortar store online. Plus, I was looking to manage the whole workflow under one panel only.

Suffescom seemed like the perfect fit to deploy an application integrated with all modern custom features. The only aim to get a food delivery application was to increase sales even after the pandemic and generate more revenue. Apart from that, I was looking to sustain a digital presence for my cafe for more incoming orders.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I surfed through the search engines a lot for a reliable app development company. I also had some primary deciding factors, such as the cost and how much experience the company holds in developing similar apps.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

I was looking for a permanent solution to keep the sales of my cafe incoming without any hassle and manage the whole workspace with a few clicks. Strikingly, Suffescom was the ideal fit. I discussed everything with them one-on-one, including all sorts of marketing strategies.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

The team consisted of software developers, quality analysts, business developers, and support staff.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project is a success and we are already seeing tremendous growth in the number of app downloads.

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

There were times when communication and progress were a little slower, but overall the communication was fluent, and I had a feeling that they were in control and knew exactly what they were doing.

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

The team is professional, understood the challenge, guided us, and adopted the best practices.

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

I'd want them to have lesser points of contact in the initial stages of the app development as that may lead to miscommunication. Other than that the whole journey was next to perfect.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the COO of DRUS

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We wanted them to build us an app that customers could download from phone.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We searched online and seen this company and decided to take a chance on.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

N/A

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

A project manager by the name of PRINCE was appointed to us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They have strung me along for 10 months when they promised my partner and I, the app will be completed in 2-3 months.

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

We've shared the importance of timeline needing the app to be completed and PRINCE has shown any effort to get done. When shared we lost partnerships, money, deals, and time they showed no remorse. PRINCE has been our person of contact and the overseer of the project and is the worst Supervisor/manager. I just want to purchase the white label but he refuse sell to me and stopped responding.

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

This company is the worst company I've ever encountered.

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

They cost us partnership, money, deals, and time!

Company Responses

The vendor responded on September 10, 2021.

To our knowledge, this review was published by the Client without contacting Suffescom first. After resolving the whole scenario with the Client, both parties ended the matter happily.

Afterwards, the Client tried to approach Clutch to edit the review, yet they denied it. That's why we are trying to clear up the air by stating what happened in real-life.

The Client mentioned that we weren't selling a white-labelled solution. In contrast, Suffescom's primary work is to provide a solution according to the Client's requirements.

We follow a workflow at Suffescom, providing a timeline to the Client. Our project manager gives the Client a timeframe in which we deliver the solution affirmatively.

When milestones are important, they can affect the timeframe of the project as well

• Client takes longer to approve delivery.
• Milestone's payment is delayed.

In this case, the Client made the payments, but the payments reflected weeks & months late due to covid-19.

It was impossible to move forward without the Client's consent on the milestone & the COVID-19 wave hit our country badly, which took us time to gear back up. The same picture was there on the other end, where we kept on rescheduling the calls for several weeks.

PS:  We usually deliver on time, but things get out of our hands at times. In those scenarios, it's a humble request for the Client to be patient and understand the case for both parties' betterment. 

BACKGROUND

I am the sales manager of Packing List Checklist, a mobile app.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Suffescom Solutions ?

I hired Suffescom Solutions to develop the app.

What were your goals for this project?

I routinely forget to pack essential items when I travel, so I wanted to create a platform that provides users with a checklist of important items to consider and pack before traveling.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We wanted a passionate team of mobile app developers. We shortlisted three companies based on the previous work and case studies published on their sites. The decision was difficult, but we ultimately selected Suffescom because of the quality of their proposal and their past client reviews.

Describe the project in detail.

The app offers a brief summary of what items to include when packing, which is helpful for both first-time and seasoned travelers.

What was the team composition?

Five developers worked on this project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

They delivered the app ahead of schedule.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The team was always eager to clarify any issues to ensure the product they delivered met my expectations.

The project manager provided me with different ideas during the development phase. We were highly satisfied with their professionalism and continuous support.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I found no flaws. I enjoyed working with them, and will hire them again should the occasion arise.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the president of a storage company. We provide modular structures to consumers throughout the United States.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Suffescom Solutions?

We needed web development and design services, in addition to SEO help.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted a better-performing website with an enhanced UX to improve conversions. We were also aiming to increase traffic to our site via search engine results.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Originally, we connected with one of their employees on a freelance platform. We were pleased with their performance and price and then started working with other Suffescom team members.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

Suffescom worked with us on one of our existing websites and built two others, which launched in 2017 and 2018. We provided the basic designs, and they built the sites around our needs, customizing CMS templates to create responsive, beautiful designs. Additionally, they modified an existing plug-in to deliver a better UX and did offsite SEO.

What was the team composition?

We work with five individuals regularly. They continue to design and develop our websites and do ongoing SEO. Team members come and go as needed.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

They develop their solutions either on time or ahead of schedule at a reasonable cost. Sales through our website have increased more than 30% in the last year.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We have direct access to team members important to our business. I’ve never had to take anything to a manager to get results. Their team makes things happen. They’re highly effective.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

“Quick,” and “responsive” are two words that come to mind when describing this company. They’re highly responsive to my needs and deliver what they promise, unlike some other vendors I’ve worked with.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I can’t think of any areas for improvement. I’ve had a great experience with Suffescom.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a big data consulting company that provides analytic services to clients.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Suffescom?

I hired Suffescom to build our website.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I needed quality user interface expertise, and I was also looking for simplicity in design. Those were the top two requirements that I was hoping Suffescom would deliver on, and they did. They built a WordPress website that includes information about our business. In the beginning, we started with an initial project scope, “This is what I want and what I'm looking for,” and then Suffescom provided a prototype based on that scope. Then we bounced back and forth to nail down what the product would be going forward, and then they started implementation. I now use Suffescom on an as-needed basis.

How did you come to work with Suffescom?

I talked to a few companies, but Suffescom’s extensive positive reviews on Clutch were a determining factor in me choosing them to help me build my web platform. I couldn't find reviews on Clutch for the other companies under consideration.

How much have you invested with Suffescom?

Our budget was $10,000, and Suffescom has stayed on budget.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together sometime in October 2016, and the website went live in January 2017. Suffescom maintains my website as of now.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

I’ve shown this website to a few of my partners, and it has generated positive feedback for the most part. The quality of Suffescom’s work can be seen in the functionality of the website and its ease of use, simplicity, and user experience design.

How did Suffescom perform from a project management standpoint?

I was the main project manager because my company is pretty much a startup. The entire project was run through Agile, and all of the website’s deliverables basically were achieved via Scrum and story points. That way, we were able to make sure that Suffescom was continuously delivering on the product, which they did exceptionally well. We communicated mostly via email, and then we used Skype for video calls and screen shares.

What did you find most impressive about Suffescom?

Suffescom has done a great job. I would say their technical expertise is top-notch, and their communication skills are also great.

Are there any areas Suffescom could improve?

I can’t think of any areas Suffescom could improve at the moment.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am a marriage and family therapist running a business called Olga Bloch, PA. I work with couples, families, and individuals, and perform evaluations for immigration purposes. My website is olgabloch.com.

I am the owner of the business.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Suffescom Solutions?

I needed help with website design, development, and additional changes.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Suffescom Solutions developed my WordPress site using one developer. I've been constantly updating things since I don't want the website to feel stale or to have old pictures.

How did you come to work with Suffescom Solutions?

I posted an ad on Upwork specifying that I needed help building a website. I interviewed a few people and liked Suffescom Solutions' contact.

How much have you invested with Suffescom Solutions?

The cost of Suffescom Solutions was under $10,000. I'm a one-person practice, so my business is relatively small.

What is the status of this engagement?

I have been working with Suffescom Solutions since 2015. The collaboration is ongoing, but the workload varies depending on what I need to update.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

Suffescom Solutions worked fast and efficiently, creating exactly what I was looking for. I was concerned in the beginning since all the work was done virtually, but Suffescom Solutions followed instructions well.

I have received excellent feedback for the website. People compliment it in terms of its look and ease of navigation. I teach a class to which people can register online, and I've heard appreciation around how easy that process is.

How did Suffescom Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

Suffescom Solutions performed great in this regard. I can make a request and have it completed within the next one to two days. Suffescom Solutions works fast and does exactly what I ask. The communication is done through email and Upwork.

What did you find most impressive about Suffescom Solutions?

The speed of work is very important for me. Suffescom Solutions is very responsive, and even if they can't take care of an issue, they will let me know. I also appreciate Suffescom Solutions' pricing; I've never felt gouged.

Are there any areas Suffescom Solutions could improve?

Not that I can think of.
