Kumasi and the team worked very quickly and efficiently, and took care of every last thing that we asked for.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the general manager of Patlin, Inc.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tekglide?

We needed to build an e-commerce platform.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Tekglide has been helping us with our e-commerce launch. Initially, we sat down with Ali and showed them the scope of our product line and what we were looking for. Tekglide showed us different platforms they had previously built and what they needed from us to launch the project. After the discovery phase, we gathered the data and sent it to Tekglide. 

Tekglide has used Magento to build the platform from scratch. They’ve also set up our Nexcess hosting server and done all the development work there. Tekglide continues to help us with anything we need on the site.

Tekglide has also provided SEO services. We’ve worked closely with them on keyword research.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with around eight teammates, including project managers and developers. A team of four teammates is involved in our SEO efforts. 

How did you come to work with Tekglide?

We found them through a Google search. We interviewed a handful of companies and thought Tekglide was a good fit after meeting with Ali and Asif, so we hired them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent over $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in April 2022, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’re definitely seeing growth. The SEO work is starting to appear on the e-commerce side. We’d like to see more growth, but we know getting the site to grow on Google is a process. We were unaware of a restriction on the site: orders couldn't be over $1,000. Once Tekglide lifted that restriction, within a couple of weeks, we saw orders coming through with those volumes.

How did Tekglide perform from a project management standpoint?

Tekglide’s project management is excellent. Communication has been great via Google Meet and email, and all team members are professional and to the point. Tekglide is good at outlining the project in Basecamp and the step-by-step process for how they want data organized. 

Tekglide is quick to address any bugs. If it’s a simple fix, they’ll fix it quickly. Otherwise, they go through the proper channels to get it fixed. 

Are there any employees from the service line that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Asif has been great. He’s been our point of contact throughout the whole process and has gone above and beyond to answer my questions. He has walked us through the backend of Magento and taught us things we can do on our own. He has been an integral part of the process.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed with how promptly Tekglide responds and gets solutions for any issues we run into.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Tekglide should be more transparent about how they need data. We’ve had to change the formatting a couple of times. We’d like more clarity on how they need the data so we can get it done in one touch rather than multiple.

This  large website was a start up, that was not completed, on Wix - this platform was not effectively serving what the needs of the service was. The project included:

1. Migrating Wix to Wordpress, maintaining security measures
2. Re-designing many of the pages for aesthetics and website optimization
3. Selection of appropriate working tools and plug ins for EMS and optimal subscriber use
4. Collaboration and implementation for LMS- which was Learn-dash

6. Optimatization of website, LMS and use for subscriber based annual subscription also providing individual services not part of subscription

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

This area was exceptional. Basecamp was the app used for regular exchange of work and Moiz who was the project manager was phenomenal - with integrity, communication and ability to understand my needs as a client. This had many complexities to it, and the flow was uncomplicated and smooth. Different than many prior experiences of inconsistencies in what prior companies said and what they did, Moiz was clear and consistent with progress report statuses. 

What was your primary form of communication with Tekglide?

Virtual Meeting

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

In one word integrity.

Moiz represents the company as a leader in this area, being responsive, caring and extremely smart and effective at resolving any problems that came up. As a start up, I'd had some poor experiences working with either freelancers or other companies. At the time I was re-interviewing companies, Moiz was the first person I'd ever spoken to that listened in a way and spoke in a way that convinced me this was the company to work with to be successful. I have a service of value that warrants success, so I feel fortunate to have found this company.

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

To date, I don't have any suggestions- they are a top tier team. Moiz demonstrates he is a great collaborator with his team, making sure all the details get worked out well- since I am the recipient of seeing the outcome.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the marketing manager of a company that sells recovery system products for athletes. Our products include massage guns, recovery systems for the legs, vibrating foam rollers, cushions, and therapy technology. We sell our products in the US through Amazon and our website. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Tekglide?

We needed support to manage our digital advertising on Google and Amazon, develop our website, and manage SEO and email marketing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, we shared our company's information with Tekglide, and the team conducted market research on our competitors in the US. Then, Tekglide matched their research information with the data we provided, and after the analysis, we created a written plan with Tekglide's development and technical team. The team has created a strategy, the first stage of which is developing product pages on our company's website. 

We've defined the required improvements for our site, and after that, Tekglide has fixed issues on our Google Ads account that we couldn't resolve. We had troubles and bans in the past, and the team has helped us resolve this issue in one month by contacting Google's support team. The team manages our PPC campaigns on Google Ads and Amazon Ads and has implemented email marketing campaigns. 

Lastly, Tekglide has done keyword research to define our SEO strategy and shared the information with us. We've gone through the strategy's implementation together, and the team has selected keywords we've approved. 

What is the team composition?

We've worked with five teammates from Tekglide, but we mainly engage with four of them, including a project manager who takes care of all our project's general aspects, a Google Ads specialist, a web developer, and an SEO and email marketing specialist.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $5,000–$10,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Tekglide in April 2024, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We value the results delivered by Tekglide because they've recovered our Google Ads account. After that, we've seen an increase of around 80% in our web traffic. Tekglide is in the process of increasing our conversions, although that is a longer process that involves many aspects of our e-commerce.

How did Tekglide perform from a project management standpoint?

Tekglide alwas delivers work on time. We have weekly meetings via Google Meet and sometimes two meetings a week, depending on the work. We collaborate through Basecamp.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I want to highlight our project manager and Abbas (Business Development Manager). Although Abbas isn't working on our project anymore, we started working with him, and he was really good.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Tekglide is always available and ready to answer my questions quickly, sometimes during the weekends. The team is responsive when my company has issues. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

Nothing comes to mind at the moment.

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

We are on vastly different time zones, so our working hours only overlap about 3-4 hours/day. That has lead to fluid timelines on some items, but they've always followed through. Some items took longer than they should've for troubleshooting and it was hard to get a firm timeline from them. Overall, they are competent and reliable, I just wish at times I had more clarity on their availability.

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

They are kind, competent, and reliable.

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

Better communication on availability, working hours, timelines. I wasn't always clear what days they were/weren't working. Also, they price their work in buckets of hours - I often didn't know we were running low on hours until we were out - which made it difficult to prioritize within budget constraints. I asked for more transparency with hours consumption but the reporting back wasn't consistent.
