What challenge were you trying to address with TekRevol?

What is the team composition?

I’m in contact with five people, including an IT person, a sales rep, and a web developer.

How did you come to work with TekRevol?

They found and approached us. I started by asking them to look and give us feedback and if they could work on this project or not.

I decided to work with them because I saw they were knowledgeable and knew exactly what they were doing. We did a one-month trial with them, and it was great, so we continued with the process.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent $10,000–$15,000 with them so far.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of an app company, which is designed for entrepreneurs and the goal is to teach them how to start a business in a gamified and fun way.

What challenge were you trying to address with TekRevol?

We hired TekRevol to put together what we had designed and developed over the past 30 years, including our work with our partners and all the training and consulting we had with businesses. Our goal was to create something that consumers would be able to understand and have fun with.

What was the scope of their involvement?

TekRevol has built an Android and iOS app for us. Instead of our customers searching around and finding seminars on how to start a business, we’ve incorporated a step-by-step system on the app to help customers create their business. They also provide app store optimization and marketing services. Overall, their work involves design, development, and consulting.

How did you come to work with TekRevol?

I listed approximately 10 different companies I found on Google and I chose TekRevol because they were extremely responsive and genuinely excited about the concept of our app. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $40,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together in October 2021, and it’s ongoing.

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

We haven’t completely launched yet, but we’ve been able to do a soft launch to less than 1,000 users. In connection with that, the feedback we’ve received has been positive. Users love our content, design, and the concept of how everything has been placed. 

We also like that we haven’t experienced any bugs or crashes, and we’ve only encountered minimal things such as password reset and spinning for a little extra time. We plan to continue working with them for a long time. In fact, we want them to manage all of our customer communications.

How did TekRevol perform from a project management standpoint?

TekRevol has handled everything very well, and they’re quick to fix things. They also have great communication skills. We like that they have a system that they implement for all of their customers on their database, so we never have to go ask them. We use Asana, Google Meet, WhatsApp, and email to communicate. Above all, they’re good at meeting deadlines and staying on budget.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their creativity has been impressive; they’re capable of expanding what we bring to them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. Their team is pretty fantastic.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Communicate with them and make sure that you provide a prompt response so that they won’t be waiting on you. In our case, they’ve given us a list of items to complete and we’ve been able to give it to them within 24 hours.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the president of a platform that makes collaborating and publishing social media content easier for small businesses. The platform is still in development. I have another business called Ranch Office, a co-working space company. 

What challenge were you trying to address with TekRevol?

I needed a contract development partner that could bring our concept to reality, so I hired TekRevol. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

TekRevol is currently developing our platform. Specifically, they’re building it as a native iOS platform. The team is using a certain design and wireframing tool to finish the designs and transfer them over to development. While we’re starting with the iOS platform, we’re also planning to make the product a web platform. 

In terms of key features, our app serves as a social media scheduler and publisher that’s focused on capturing and publishing content. It’s designed to make capturing media and collaborating easier for small business teams. 

What is the team composition?

I work with a dedicated team in terms of the sales process. The team works on the scope of the project and ensures the engagement is lined up. They’re a key stakeholder in managing the project and our communication. We also work with the development team. 

How did you come to work with TekRevol?

I needed a partner that was easy to work with and could do the job in a professional manner. With that in mind, I researched local developers because I wanted to have an in-person connection with the team. I looked for teams in Houston — I’m a champion of local businesses — as I tried to put Houston on the map in terms of industries. 

Eventually, I found TekRevol online. I reach out to them, and they took a detailed approach in inquiring about the project and my requirements. They immediately understood what we wanted and offered ideas. It was clear to me that they were the right team for this project, and they were unlike other firms that would just sit there and say okay to get my business. As a result, after interviewing several firms, we decided that TekRevol was the right partner. 

How much have you invested with them?

The project cost is in the $40,000–$50,000 range. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in October 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.

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

We don’t have any quantitative feedback yet since we’re still in the design and development phase. Qualitatively, the team has great professionalism and knowledge. They have a smooth process for engagement, design, and development, and everything is maintained in a punctual and professional manner. 

How did TekRevol perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is one of their main strengths. Their management style is highly structured, especially in terms of communication and collaboration. The software they use to communicate and demonstrate their designs has been useful for me to make decisions and give feedback. In other words, there’s been a healthy level of communication between us. I never feel like I’m being deprioritized. 

In terms of tools, TekRevol uses Asana. We also use Zoom calls; we’ve used this to meet their team and get to know the stakeholders. Their resources have come over to my office before, which I also appreciate because it’s a great way to get on the same page with them. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

The TekRevol team has been pleasing and professional. Their work has been great, and there’s a level of discretion in their design team as per our guidance. Their resources have knocked the project out of the park. As a result, I’m happy that I’ve chosen them; I don’t know if I would have received the same quality from a different partner.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any. They’ve satisfied all of our requirements; I’ve been pleased with their work and there’s nothing I’d change. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make yourself as available as possible. That’s the key to a successful project because the TekRevol team will need as much information as possible upfront to make the process go quicker and smoother. In our engagement, I’ve made myself extremely available to them, and that has helped them acquire the things they need to accomplish their job. They’ve made progress and never held anything up. 

Introduce your business and what you do there? 

I’m the owner of MoCuts.

What challenge were you trying to address with TekRevol?

We needed someone to develop a mobile app.

What was the scope of their involvement?

TekRevol has built a mobile app for iOS and Android. The app allows users to browse local barbers and see reviews, availability, and prices to pick one to come cut their hair wherever they are. It has GPS and payment functionalities.

They’ve created a landing page and are doing social media marketing and Google Ads. Also, they’ve created content and videos of me talking about the business.

Additionally, they’ll provide ongoing maintenance.

What is the team composition? 

I’ve interacted with as many as 12 people. However, the project manager and Ryan (Partner) are my main points of contact.

How did you come to work with TekRevol?

I found them online. They had several positive reviews as one of the top companies in the area. 

How much have you invested with them? 

We’ve spent $75,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working together around May 2021, and our relationship is ongoing.

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

We’re currently in the testing phase. We haven’t found many bugs, and they’ve fixed any that were found. Moreover, people who have seen the app and landing page have given positive feedback. Our expectations have been met and exceeded in some ways, and we’re very satisfied working with this team.

How did TekRevol perform from a project management perspective? 

Overall, they’ve done well at sticking to the timeline and budget. We use Asana and communicate via email, text, and Zoom. 

What did you find most impressive about them? 

We haven’t found any weak points; we like everything about them.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I highly recommend working with them.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m one of the CEOs of Contemporary Concierge, and we’re an independent contractor in the Houston area servicing the multi-family residential industry with personal concierge services. 

What challenge were you trying to address with TekRevol?

We needed to modernize our technology, particularly our user and customer integration. We were looking for someone to help us develop an app.

What was the scope of their involvement?

TekRevol is developing an app that allows our clients to book services and monitor the progress of their requests 24/7. Additionally, our agents can accept appointments and communicate with residents through the app.

Another vendor initially worked with us for this project, but they failed to meet our expectations. As such, we’ve had to start from scratch with TekRevol. I provided them with logos and the app’s previous version, which they’ve used n building the app. 

Additionally, TekRevol has helped us design the app, and they are also providing us with app marketing services. The development is ongoing, and we still have 2–3 months of work left before going live.  

What is the team composition?

I work with 6–7 resources.  

How did you come to work with TekRevol?

I found them through Google. After our initial contact, we had a face-to-face interview. They explained their services, and we discussed the project together. They just seemed the best fit for our company, so we hired them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in July 2021, and it’s ongoing. 

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

TekRevol’s quality of work and communication is exceptional. They host weekly update meetings for us every Monday. Beyond those meetings, they constantly update us on the ongoing efforts of building the application. They exceed our expectations when it comes to communication. From what I’ve seen, the app looks really good. 

How did TekRevol perform from a project management standpoint?

TekRevol is excellent at project management. We collaborate through Asana, where we can monitor tasks and communicate with each other. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

TekRevol understands what we’re trying to accomplish. They have a great way of explaining technical concepts to a company like us that has no idea about technology or app development. Their communication and understanding skills are superb. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything. Everything has been great so far. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They’re good communicators, and they will understand your requirements. They’re always open to suggestions and feedback. Make sure to communicate what your needs and desires are, so they can help you achieve your goals.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and founder of a real estate company. We have a two-way listing and management portal for tenants and landlords.

What challenge were you trying to address with TekRevol?

We needed their team to build our mobile application.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We've previously engaged TekRevol to design and develop our PHP-based application and reached out to their team again to have our mobile app built. They're now in the process of developing our iOS app via Switch and integrating some final features. After accomplishing the iOS version, they'll focus on creating an Android version of the same app. The core offering of our platform is a messaging feature that allows tenants and landlords to communicate with each other.

Apart from their development-related tasks, TekRevol has also designed our logo and performed marketing services to promote our platform.

What is the team composition?

My main point of contact is their project manager.

How did you come to work with TekRevol?

I found them online while looking for potential agencies to hire for this project. TekRevol was listed as one of the top up-and-coming development firms, and they also offered a reasonable price point.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent $25,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2020, and our collaboration is ongoing.

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

TekRevol has delivered an appealing platform that met our expectations — they've refined our wireframe suggestions to come up with a more impressive design. Everyone who's seen the app so far has particularly liked its refreshing and user-friendly look. More importantly, all the features they've incorporated into the app are working ideally.

How did TekRevol perform from a project management standpoint?

We use Asana as our main project management tool. TekRevol has reliable and communicative developers. Their team promptly addresses our needs, which makes for a seamless engagement.

What did you find most impressive about them?

TekRevol's development expertise is apparent in the complex solutions that they accomplish. Their developers have the skill set we need to build highly functional app features.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I'll appreciate a more timeline-oriented approach to help speed up the process. Some deliverables have been submitted a bit behind our deadline, but we're still on track to complete the project within our original timeline.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Assign dedicated team members to closely monitor TekRevol's work to ensure that they're working accurately towards meeting your goals.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of My Driver’s, LLC. We’re creating an app for commercial driver’s license holders, owner-operators, fleet owners, and corporations that can give them a  job. Our company tries to network all of them within the app.

What challenge were you trying to address with TekRevol?

I needed a team that was willing to work with us in developing the app and meeting our requirements.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We first met in person with TekRevol, telling them our plan. They then agreed to do it and gave me a preview of what the process would look like. To make sure that all requirements were met, we conducted several phone calls. That was the discovery phase, where they figured out what needed to be done and implemented for the project. Then, we went into the design phase, where we saw the layout and flow of the app. We made sure that the pictures and everything else looked exactly as we wanted. 

At present, we’re at the alpha stage, where TekRevol is developing the app. From here, we’re moving on to the beta stage to test the app before its delivery. 

Meanwhile, the app’s features include live tracking of locations, speeds, tickets, and invoices. It also has chat and search bar features. Commercial driver’s license holders are only allowed to work for 20 straight hours, so the app also monitors that. Moreover, if tickets or accidents are put on their record, we’ll also update the app to include such records. On top of that, we’re promoting the safety of the drivers, so we’re putting a system in place where the drivers can be more aware of their driving to avoid driving mistakes. 

What is the team composition?

The first people we met with were Ryan (Partner) and Estes (Senior Project Manager & Business Development Head), who walked us through the discovery phase. Estes told us what could and couldn’t be done, while Ryan was our personal contact.

Apart from them, we’re currently collaborating with a team that handles the design and development phases. One person ensures that we’re all on the same page as far as the flow of the app is concerned. Another teammate is handling the development phase. We haven’t met the whole team, but we’ve met with some members of their other departments.

How did you come to work with TekRevol?

I found them on Clutch. I looked through the platform and checked the companies’ websites individually. TekRevol seemed to be the best fit because they were based in Houston; it was easier for us to meet in person at any point. Moreover, we saw the experience they had, which they showed on their website. Everything else seemed to line up with what we were looking for, including the products they created, current customers, and experiences. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve paid about $30,000 for the discovery and design stages. For the whole process, the total price will be about $75,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

TekRevol gave me a quote around March 2021, and it took a couple of weeks for me to discuss it with my business partner. By the start of April 2021, we kicked off the project. The engagement is ongoing.  

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

Everyone that has seen the app has been interested in it; they love what they’re seeing. Moreover, the flow is exactly what we picture and envision. In other words, everything is going in the right direction, and our team’s pleased with TekRevol’s progress. 

This is our first time doing a project like this, and My Driver’s is new to technology. As such, this is a learning process for our team, and TekRevol has been truly understanding of our situation. They implement features as we go, including those that aren’t initially mentioned during the discovery and design phase.

How did TekRevol perform from a project management standpoint?

TekRevol’s project management is great. We’ve been communicating with each other on a daily basis. They tell me if we’re on track or if they have questions on anything that’s not clear to them. Moreover, the engagement process has been straightforward and easy. Apart from this project, I also have another job, so it’s sometimes tough to meet up with them. Luckily, it’s easy to deal with them, and they find ways to work around my schedule. 

In terms of deadlines, we’re not rushing the team; we want everything to be up and running soon, but we also want them to do it right however long it takes. We’re in the learning stages, and as we build and implement new things, the project is going to slow down. However, that’s ok as long as everything is done correctly. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

TekRevol is understanding, and they listen to our needs. That’s the most important thing for us. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any. They listen to everything we have to say and meet our needs; they’ve done an outstanding job. 

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the account manager at WPPals, a WordPress website maintenance company. We handle security clearances, website maintenance packages, development, design, and more.

What challenge were you trying to address with TekRevol?

We were a small startup, so we needed help with IT issues.

What was the scope of their involvement?

First, TekRevol helped us with cloud migration. They handled the cloud on AWS and Azure. We were having difficulties putting a lot of things in place, and they managed the subscription and third-party integration for us.

Since then, our engagement with them has grown a lot. Their team handles development, design, and cloud spaces. We’re also in talks about developing an application. It’s a client project, but we’re acting as an intermediary.

What is the team composition?

We know people from their development and design sides, and we have two main points of contact. One is in the business development and customer service department. The other is the head of project management. They both step in when we have any issues to discuss.

How did you come to work with TekRevol?

A mutual friend was working in the project management department at TekRevol, and we had a couple of IT issues. We set up a call with their CMO and account manager. They were very kind to listen to our query, even if it was minimal at that time. TekRevol was willing to know our issues better, although they were primarily involved in app development.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $25,000–$35,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June 2020, and our relationship is ongoing.

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

Our downtime is about three hours per year.

How did TekRevol perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project management people are incredible. They’re always on their toes. There have been bumps, but they’ve been super cool with everything. They reply to our messages, and the team has been kind enough to walk us through any issue or question we’ve had. We don’t have a rigid relationship with TekRevol. They’re super fluid and flexible.

We use Asana and emails. We also have weekly or fortnightly calls with them.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They take on smaller projects with the same passion as more extensive projects.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They have a lot of potential on the cloud deployment and IT services side, but they aren’t invested in that because they work primarily in app development. Nonetheless, they’re great at this, and they could improve on this front.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you’re looking for a friendly relationship that feels like an extension of your own team, go with TekRevol. You’ll have an excellent relationship with their team. They’re really open to communication.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of Vici Sneakers, a marketplace for sneakers similar to eBay. We have an app and website where users can buy and sell new or used sneakers. They send the shoes to us for authentication, and then we send it to the seller once the pair is authenticated and verified.

What challenge were you trying to address with TekRevol?

I had the idea to start our app, but I had no idea how to do it. As a result, I needed someone to build it for me; I hired TekRevol to develop our app and website. 

What was the scope of their involvement?

I had a business plan that outlined everything that I wanted to include in the scope of the project. Then, we got into details; I sent TekRevol a list of everything I needed, and they sent me an in-depth description of how they were going to accomplish what I wanted. We kept going back and forth until the scope was fully written out. Ultimately, TekRevol developed my app and website. The team also did some graphic designs for me, although those weren’t part of the original scope of the project. I’d also asked them to create Instagram posts, sticker designs, logos, and everything else. Apart from the app itself, they’ve also built an admin panel from which I can run the app. 

So far, I haven’t launched the app. Meanwhile, everything else is pretty much complete, and we’re planning to launch in October 2021 if everything goes according to plan. Initially, the app will be available on iOS only. We’re not going to develop for Android in the app’s first iteration because 90% of our target users are on iOS. On top of that, the website is already available for Android users. I also want to save some money, so we’re going for iOS first. When everything is up and running, then we’ll integrate the app into Android. 

Moreover, other than buying and selling sneakers, the app will also have raffles available to help us with marketing and keep things interesting. Hopefully, we can do the raffles monthly as we give away high-end and expensive sneakers. Further, I’m going to have a different form of commission from other marketplaces. Usually, marketplaces charge a percentage of the sale from the seller. By contrast, I will be charging a flat fee depending on the price range of the sneakers. Simply put, I’m helping sellers save more money because my commission is cheaper than other marketplaces. 

What is the team composition?

I mainly work with Ryan (Partner), who is based here in Houston. Meanwhile, my main points of contact overseas include Estes (Senior Project Manager & Business Development Head) and Zohaib (Technical Project Manager). I’ve also spoken to Asim (Founding Partner & CTO) before signing up with TekRevol. I’ve also had one-time meetings with their graphic designers and marketing specialists. 

How did you come to work with TekRevol?

I found freelance developers online, but I knew this project was a complex one so I needed a bigger team. Given that, I searched for app development companies. I also wanted a team based in Houston so I could communicate with them better. During my search, TekRevol was the only one that seemed legitimate, and I used Clutch to verify that. 

They were the highest-rated company in Houston on Clutch, and their website was highly professional. Being able to talk to Ryan also helped a lot. On top of that, I knew that development firms typically used outsourced developers overseas. By contrast, TekRevol didn’t simply outsource to random developers. The team had their own office and employees, and that helped me feel more comfortable working with them. Overall, their professionalism and legitimacy helped a lot in my decision to hire them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent approximately $80,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2020, and the engagement is ongoing. 

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

The app looks truly professional. I’ve been scared and felt a lot of anxiety, especially in the beginning. However, after receiving the first iteration of the app, I’ve realized that TekRevol knows what they’re doing. My doubts and anxiety have eased up since I’ve seen how professional and good-looking the app is. Likewise, the admin panel they've created has made it easy for me to use the app even though I don’t know much about coding.

Further, I haven’t been able to do real-world testing yet, but I haven’t run into any problems through my personal tests, either. Similarly, the TekRevol team has done extensive testing on the app to ensure that it can run with hundreds of thousands of users. If they’ve found bugs, they’ve probably fixed them because the app seems to be working well based on my own tests. 

In terms of quantitative metrics, I expect to have a slow start. The market is quite big and has small competition; only two other brands do what I do. However, those brands have highly loyal customers, and people will be skeptical about any new app that pops up. As such, I need to build a good name and reputation for myself.

Overall, the team has gone above and beyond by offering multiple additional services, such as marketing assistance and advertisements. Apart from that, they’ve also been good at meeting deadlines. We’ve aimed to finish the project in around 6–8 months, but it’s taken more time to finish because of me —  every time they show me a prototype, I come up with new ideas and ask them to change things. 

How did TekRevol perform from a project management standpoint?

TekRevol’s project management is great. Every time I need something, I can shoot them text messages or give them a phone call; they usually respond within five minutes. The timing also works out well since they’re overseas. If we have an issue with the app, I can call them and they can resolve it within a week. 

Meanwhile, I’ve had to take a step back from the project due to some issues. I couldn’t be with the team full-time during the development, so we’ve had to take a break from it. Throughout that, the TekRevol team has been truly understanding; they’ve never been pushy in terms of continuing the project or paying the invoices. 

Moreover, their communication is great. Ryan is here and always available, while the development happens in Pakistan. I have weekly meetings with Estes and Zohaib every Thursday, where they update me on their situation and I do the same on mine. In terms of tools, the team uses Asana to update us about any changes in the app or any milestones they’ve completed. If we haven’t talked about a milestone yet, they’ll put it on Asana and update the entire team about it. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

TekRevol’s professionalism stands out. It’s scary working with people I can’t see or meet, but the fact that TekRevol has someone local that I can meet has been helpful. On top of that, they’ve also used FaceTime to walk me around their office and introduce me to their developers. Overall, simply knowing that TekRevol is a legitimate company and I’m not being scammed has been impressive. Clutch reviews have also helped because TekRevol has verified and sponsored reviews on the platform. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

In the beginning, we had plenty of back-and-forth conversations while writing out the scope of the project, and it took a week or two to finish it. That being said, this was probably on both of us; they gave me the scope but I changed my mind a lot. They rewrote it, and then I changed my mind again. Other than that, our communication was good. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be friendly with the TekRevol team, and don’t treat them like employees or random people. I’ve come close to being friends with the people I’ve been working with on their team, and that helps a lot in our communication. Overall, communication is key; if you’re creating a business, you might have to put your entire life into it. As a result, you shouldn’t be on bad terms with the people who are helping you do it. 

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of a social media music app called Soundly, and we aim to help artists to promote their music by letting them upload their work. Our platform is similar to Spotify and SoundCloud. We want to offer an easy way for non-musicians to find new artists and music on social media. On top of that, our end users will be able to like, comment, and share the music they like on their social media platforms.

What challenge were you trying to address with TekRevol?

We hired TekRevol to build our app.

What was the scope of their involvement?

TekRevol is fully in charge of developing the front- and backend of our mobile app. We want our platform to have a donation feature so that people can directly donate to artists on their profile through linking their cards or using their PayPal account. They’ve also suggested that we could spearhead livestream events and have artists perform their concerts while receiving donations from people — similar to TikTok.

The team is in charge of designing our platform, too. Even before they started coding, they’ve shown us how our platform’s going to look like. We’ve given them mockups we’ve created, and they took it upon themselves to improve our design.

They’re now focused on building our iOS app using Swift for the frontend and AWS and machine learning (ML) algorithms for the backend. In fact, they’ve also conducted a workshop on how we’re going to monetize it in the future. We’ve just finished the alpha phase, and we’re planning to launch our iOS app in mid-December.

What is the team composition?

We’re working with nine people, including people in charge of managing the project. We also collaborate with designers and and front- and backend developers.

How did you come to work with TekRevol?

We researched local development teams online that were highly reviewed by their customers. We were also located near TekRevol and that was the main reason why we went with them.

How much have you invested with them?

The total cost of the project is around $43,000. We pay them approximately $9,000 for every sprint they do. Since we’ve done two sprints, we’ve paid them $17,000–$18,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Our partnership began in June 2021, and we continue to work together.

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

We’ve tested the features they’ve developed during the alpha phase, and we haven’t encountered any bugs on our platform. I’ve been pleasantly surprised that everything has worked well because I’ve worked with different service providers where the first build would always have errors or glitches.

In addition, I’ve shown TekRevol’s work to family members and on social media, and they’ve been really impressed with our app. We’ve worked with other development teams before, but TekRevol’s work has really nailed what we’re looking for in terms of design, details, and features of our platform. We like that they think things through and just don’t depend on what we want. Instead, they suggest helpful solutions that could match what we’re looking to create. Overall, everything has been perfect.

How did TekRevol perform from a project management standpoint?

I mainly talk to two people from their team, and we use WhatsApp, texts, and phone calls to communicate. We also have weekly Zoom calls, and we talk to their team members through Asana. They’ve also adhered to our budget, and they've submitted our alpha build a week ahead of schedule.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We appreciate how much they care about our project; they act as if they own the project and they think of the best way to improve the features, UI/UX, and other aspects of our app. The amount of detail that they put in their work has also been impressive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t know what areas they could improve. We communicate a lot, and the partnership has been exactly what we’ve envisioned it to be. On top of that, they offer affordable services.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have an idea of what you want to do. Once you’re ready, book an interview with TekRevol so that you can see and feel how connected you are to the project and how much they care about you. To them, you’re not just a number — you’re not just another client — you’re someone they want to work with. Give them a shot because they’ll blow you away with their knowledge and suggestions.
