TheAppLabb

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

They delivered on what our expectations were. The app functions according to what was intended. The app has received positive feedback.

How did The AppLabb perform from a project management standpoint?

They were good at meeting deadlines and used Jira to communicate.

What did you find most impressive about them?

From a leadership perspective, I found that they were easily accessible. Kundan (CEO, TheAppLabb) still made time to be part of the project, which was refreshing. I’m sure he has many different projects, so I was appreciative of that. That’s the core strength of their organization.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, not really.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Companies should have a clear scope and understanding going into the project.

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

While the app is still in development, I’m happy with the work TheAppLabb has done so far. We often dump very aggressive timelines on these guys and they work their fingers to the bone to make sure they don’t let us down. And to this day, they haven’t. 

How did TheAppLabb perform from a project management standpoint?

Everything has been pretty good. We primarily communicate through email. I’m lucky that I live an hour away from their office, so if there’s a fire burning or a new initiative, I get up there to meet them face to face. We get in front of our blackboard and we map out everything. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

TheAppLabb goes the extra mile to make sure we get what we need when we need it. Their work ethic impressed us. They also have impressive after-sales service. When we have an important life event, these guys are always available and make sure we have support. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t have any complaints.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

In this sector, you need to understand your capabilities and your direction. Understanding how these companies work, their rates and structure before you go in for initial meetings is helpful.

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

I haven’t yet launched, but I’ve beta tested with nursing students and received positive feedback. The platform is of excellent quality. Someone who runs a nursing job fair looked at it and was very pleased. I’m planning to open my brand to help nurses address anxiety and find jobs after graduation.

Kundan also suggested that I go to Founder Institute events to learn about the tech and business worlds; it was the best advice I could’ve received. From the first week there, I learned how to pivot toward and incorporate more things into my web app—namely, addressing the job recruitment process. This led me into a full rebrand as I decide how to help students from the time they’re in school preparing for exams to when they’re out looking for a job.

How did TheAppLabb perform from a project management standpoint?

Everyone from the finance person to the UI designer was accessible if I needed to talk. I could request to sit down with any of them, even without an appointment. I’m not sure whether other tech companies would have been this supportive. They answered everything I asked, which I liked because I was constantly unsure of myself.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were supportive and respectful of someone not familiar with tech terminology, work, and processes. TheAppLabb treated me, an older client not intimately familiar with the tech world, in an exemplary way.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Codifying their processes and giving me something I could review for homework would've been good. It’s difficult to visualize all the steps from signing a proposal until the final delivery. This way, I would've known what things were going to look like, what wireframes were, and so on.
