Technorely Inc.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a Founder at Korporatio, which is the first firm to enable 100% legal companies through Blockchain Technology on Ethereum. We are building our platform to make it easy for entrepreneurs to create and manage smart companies globally, paperless, and completely digital.

For what projects/services did your company hire Technorely?

We approached Technorely with an idea to create a system that would connect the Blockchain technology with existing corporate laws of the selected jurisdictions.

What were your goals for this project?

Having a basic version of Korporatio we needed to upgrade and improve it. We wanted to create a new architecture suitable for scaling and updates.

How did you select this vendor?

The vendor was recommended via a good friend.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We started the cooperation with a series of calls to understand the requirements and how the new architecture should have been structured. The main object was to expand the team as soon as possible. During the first phase I work closely with the lead developer in order to ensure deliveries were smooth and features were allow by the corporate laws. After few initial months we decided to expand the team and therefore gained additional resources from the vendor. I took the role of designer/product manager giving guidelines to the team but still letting them adding as much of their expertise as possible.

What was the team composition?

Initially we had an Architect working at the project. After the investigation phase was done, we got a Front End and Smart Contract developers as well as a project manager as a dedicated team. Our team will probably grow in the future.

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

The implementation of the new solution helped each user to save hundreds of dollars per year in governance fees. The new UI/UX helped to reach users from 14 countries with main sectors as blockchain, fintech, startups, e-commerces, commodities production and consulting firms. Development of new features helped incorporation agents saving serious time in communication and internal workflows, making them saving weeks per years and therefore thousands of dollars. The help of Technorely gave Korporatio the possibility to expand the Smart Company model from 1 country to currently 4 with other 3 in development.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

To have a dedicated team means we have to run weekly meetings to understand how the development is going. It requires a lot of attention in order to minimize as much bottle-necks as possible along the sprint. Jira, Discord and GitLab, are the selected tools to ensure daily communication and updates can be provided in a fast and transparent way.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We started our communication directly with one of the founders of the company who has a vast experience in Blockchain technology that made the communication process easy and clear for us. We were surprised to get ideas and suggestions from the vendor beside the tasks we set for them. Technorely stands out because they have a thorough approach to their customer taking the success of the project they are going to implement as their own. They are actually dedicated to what they do.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We are talking about a team completely decentralised, working in 2 different time zones and from completely different cultures. In simple, there are always going to be areas of improvement, from every side. However, after one year of working together, the product is solid, users are happy and the company is growing stronger everyday. I believe we are doing just fine.

They delivered a dedicated resource who stuck with us, which is unusual in my experience with outsource companies. They were an instrumental part of our development team, and made up about a quarter of our resources.

We asked them to contribute to the corporate website with very little notice. Even within a very short timeline, they executed everything with excellence and got the site up and running quickly.

We used GitHub, Trello, Slack, and Skype to manage the project and communicate. They were familiar with all those technologies, but we gave them access to our internal channels.
