Tech9

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

We’re making big waves in the industry. The functionality of the website that Tech9 created sets us apart from any competition. We've yet to find a website in any industry that offers as many dynamic options as ours. They created well over 10 billion combinations that are represented with SKUs, descriptions, prices, and images. As we expand the product line to new accounts, the website is essential to the sales process.

How did Tech9 perform from a project management standpoint?

Their team is excellent. They always answer our emails, instant messages, and phone calls. That sounds really straightforward but other developers weren't great at being responsive. I often found myself managing other firms’ project managers. I don't have to do that with Tech9.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Our project was and continues to be complex from a data perspective. Their team is phenomenal at looking for intelligent ways to structure that data. They’re also quite good at looking for solutions for the website. We don't have the expertise or the technical background to do those tasks in-house, so it’s very helpful.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I'm not quiet when something's not working. They hear from me often and typically resolve things pretty quickly. The only thing I can think of is I’d like more transparency into what they're working on at any given time.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Fully understand the complexity of your project before beginning work. That helped us accurately set timelines and expectations. They're great at working with us to keep costs on budget. They’re also flexible in shrinking the team when possible to conserve money.

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

Although only 70% of the platform has been completed, it has already made a significant impact on business development. Now that we’re able to fulfill and deliver contracts to our customers digitally, productivity within the organization has increased by 30%. Meanwhile, our personnel expenses have reduced by 31%. 

How did Tech9 perform from a project management standpoint?

Unlike most of the developers that we’ve worked with in the past, Tech9 has an incredibly organized team that adheres closely to the estimated timeline. During our weekly meetings, we discuss priority management and status updates. We use their ticket management system to submit service requests, and our assigned project managers delegate the tasks to the appropriate team. Impressed by their efficiency, we adopted some of their management procedures internally.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They offer the most cost-effective web solutions on the market, and they deliver amazing results. We had a difficult time communicating with the vendor who previously worked on the project, but Tech9 is excellent at bridging the gap between tech and sales.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There was a steep learning curve on their end regarding our company, but we didn’t expect them to have specialized knowledge in the automotive industry.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Establishing weekly meetings was the catalyst for our success. Whether we’re discussing high or low priority items, the frequent communication has improved our partnership tremendously.
