Please describe your company and your position there.

Tailored-ICS offers Salesforce Implementation and Consultancy Services. We are located in the Netherlands, but due to the (Salesforce) Cloud we work for a number of customers within Europe. I am the founder and managing partner of the company and besides managing the company, I am also actively involved in some of our customer projects.

For what projects/services did your company hire Synebo?

For one of our customers we needed to implement a custom solution on the Salesforce platform and for that we hired Synebo to provide additional Development capacity.

What were your goals for this project?

Providing our customer with a qualitative and user friendly solution

How did you select this vendor?

Tailored-ICS's other managing partner has been in contact with Synebo for a while, hence we contacted them to see if they were able to provide us with the needed development skills.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

Based on the requirements we collected before and during the project, Synebo provided the development work for that. This included Apex triggers, Apex classes, Lightning pages, Lightning Components, setting up the Customer Community and providing additional pages and mapping.

What was the team composition?

It was a team of 2 till 3 experienced developers that were involved in the project besides our own team. In order to streamline the planning and projectmeetings, they added a Synebo project lead who took care of the work distribution within Synebo.

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

The impact for our customer is that their 'customers' can fulfill a request online via the Customer Community in a user-friendly manner. This saves them time as before this was put in manually or via a webpage. The webpage was not user friendly as their customer could not save any request, so if additional information needed to be gathered they had to fill out the form several times. By starting a new form every time, this also resulted in a lot of uncompleted requests that had to be handled by our customer.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

The project was managed by Tailored-ICS, however as mentioned before Synebo also provided a project manager to streamline the work distribution, planning, and communication on their side, which worked very pleasantly.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was impressed by their ability to provide the right skills at the right time and the manner in which they handled any change during the project.

Are there any areas for improvement?

There are not many areas that they need to improve, the only things we experienced that maybe could be improved is the way they estimate the work (understanding of the high-level processes at the start) and how to adjust to work together. This last point is I believe also due to us, as this was our first project together it is always hard to know in which manner it is best to provide the information. Once we reached that common ground, it worked out very well.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the CEO of Pharmbills which is an organization that hires teams remotely in Ukraine for American companies.

What challenge were you trying to address with Synebo?

We were looking for someone to automate our payroll, hiring, and HR objectives for us.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They’ve worked on our Salesforce integrations portal interface to make sure anything we need on the payroll and HR front is being met. There’s a lot of development going on there. It’s a multi-stack project which began a while ago and is still ongoing.

The next sprint should be finished in August. Everything is being built on Salesforce, but I am not sure which technologies they are using.

We work with four people including the CEO, a PM, and a developer.

They are located in the same city where we are. I was introduced to the CEO at an event. We exchanged different challenges that we are facing, and they said they could help us with our challenge.

We have spent over $50,000 USD.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in February of 2017 and the work is ongoing.

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

They met deadlines and the level of QA. Their team checked for errors even before we even started testing so when we were testing, the changes were really minor. They have over-delivered in whatever they promised us at every stage.

We use the product daily. It’s our design, but like in any company, there are people who are happier and those who are less happy. The transition from the tool we were using before wasn’t easy because people are used to whatever they are used to.

We have internal project management tools. In terms of communication, we use the phone and Skype.

What did you find most impressive about them?
