Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The design firm we worked with has been consistently prompt in delivering their work, ensuring that all project timelines were met without compromise on quality. They were fully committed to understanding and meeting our needs, and their responsiveness was truly commendable. They actively listened to our requirements, were open to our feedback, and made all the necessary adjustments to deliver a final product that not only met but exceeded our expectations. 

Their professionalism and dedication were evident in every interaction, and it's this level of service that makes them stand out as a valuable partner for our business. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of the project and the process as a whole.

What was your primary form of communication with Team Codesign?

Virtual Meeting

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

What truly stood out to us about this design firm was their ability to deeply understand and integrate our business logic into the creative process. They took the time to immerse themselves in the core of our business, allowing them to deliver designs that not only looked great but also strategically aligned with our business objectives. 

This unique approach resulted in a final product that was not just aesthetically pleasing but also functional and effective in achieving our goals. Their commitment to merging creativity with business acumen was truly impressive and is something we haven't seen with other design firms we've worked with in the past. This, combined with their promptness and responsiveness, made our collaboration with them a truly rewarding experience.

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

In our collaboration with Team Codesign, we were thoroughly impressed with their punctuality, attention to detail, and ability to understand and incorporate our business logic into the design process. Their output was exceptional and perfectly aligned with our objectives. Given the success and satisfaction we have experienced, it is difficult to pinpoint specific areas for improvement. However, as with any project, continuous communication and collaborative iteration are always key to achieving the best possible outcome. Somedays I was left questioning what tasks were completed the night before. This would be the only area I can see potential improvement.

I’m the co-founder of Tech Variable, a custom software solutions company doing digital transformation for small and medium industries.

We were trying to get our website revamped through intuitive designs and interactions. We were looking for a good UI/UX team.

SOLUTION

Team Codesign did the UI/UX for our website in the form of XD screens. They understood our requirement, documented it properly, sent us a proposal, and then got a sign-off from us. They sent us the deliverables one-by-one through XD screens. 

We provided them with what kind of UX we were expecting on the website. We also gave them the complete workflow of the website, what kind of tabs we were expecting, and what kind of look and feel we wanted.

What is the team composition?

I directly interacted with the co-founder and their design head.

How did Team Codesign perform from a project management standpoint?

It was a good collaboration, and communication was top-notch. Whenever I asked for a meeting or had feedback, they properly took notice of and implemented everything. We had weekly meetings and sometimes even daily meetings. 

We used Telegram and Google Meet for video communication. They were very transparent about many things including the number of working hours they were investing in a project. The number of iterations they provided was very satisfactory.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

benji is a mobile platform that connects homeowners with lawn technicians for ALL ELECTRIC lawn mowing and other tasks. I am the founder/CEO.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Team Codesign?

benji™ hired TCD because of its "design first" principals. This appealed to my sensibilities - the UX/UI is the driving force for a quality customer experience.

What were your goals for this project?

The goal for the first version of benji™ was to create an MVP that is more than just a concept for investors and early adopters. It also needed to be loveable.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I have a great deal of experience seeking and securing talent for startup businesses. One I saw their work and had a detailed call with Abhishek, I knew we could work together.

Describe the project in detail.

The brief was quite complex and grew larger every couple of weeks. Initially, we asked that we have an entire build of the project with only the consideration of web design UX/UI for the benji™ platform. Eventually, the brief became desktop flow, mobile browser flow, native iOS and Android for both seeker and provider and ultimately a robust admin panel.

What was the team composition?

Abhishek worked closely with us initially helping to tease out our brand identity through UX/UI work. He then allowed his team to handle the day to day work with little input. He has a team that can work quickly and with a variety of skills.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

TCD nailed our brand initially but have stuck around to complete every tiny detail and then some. All facets of the build have been well thought out and delivered in a timely manner.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

TCD was very adept at achieving our goals through the use of top-notch communication. They have been very respectful of our time differences - cultural too. To be honest, this was one of the best aspects of working with TCD.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The humility of TCD is the most impressive element. If you possess humility, you have the greatest shot at greatness. Team Codesign is on the way to greatness.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We at benji™ have very little criticism. If I had to suggest one area of improvement it might be an increased awareness of deadlines. But, this was true of us too. So perhaps we should lead by example better.
