The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m a Project and Delivery Manager of Pyxis, a Digital Transformation Agent that provides 360 ° solutions for organizations in multiple industries, medium and large.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ThinkUp?

We are partners providing a highly skilled and dedicated team for the development of the mobile banking app for OCA of Banco Itaú.

What were your goals for this project?

As part of OCA's Digital Transformation plan, our goal was to help OCA improve its own fintech mobile app.

SOLUTION

How did you select ThinkUp?

I received a referral from a friend who had worked with ThinkUp in the past. We had very good feedback about their work and they were very aligned with our Company core values, one of the main reasons we decided to work together with ThinkUp.

Describe the project in detail.

"ThinkUp and Pyxis teams are working together helping OCA's Digital Transformation. ThinkUp's team is working in OCA mobile apps development. The mobile app allows access to the main inquiries of interest to customers about their credit cards: available for purchases, balance to pay, payment due, payment code, and statement in PDF, favoring cost control when presenting movements in real-time.

It also offers the possibility of requesting customized loans, recharging the balance on cell phones, financing the account balance in installments, increasing the purchase limit for both OCA and Visa. The app has the latest iOS features of FaceID and TouchID integrated, which allow high computer security as well as provide more comfortable and easier user access."

What was the team composition?

The team is composed of 3 iOS developers, 3 Android developers, 1 Delivery Manager, 1 Project Manager, 2 backend developers, 1 QA Engineer, and 1 UI/UX designer. There is also a Product Owner and a Scrum Master from OCA.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The increase in mobile apps usage and an increase in App Store ratings.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Everything runs smooth and transparent. It also helps that they’re local to us and can work during our regular workday, as well as having on-site meetings when needed.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The level of detail in OCA's Product Owner requirements definition enabled ThinkUp and Pyxis's teams to succeed. Come to them with well defined requirements, and they can turn them into a reality.

ThinkUp team is always up to date with mobile app trends and they are always doing great suggestions to improve OCA's business. They’ve been very attentive and they are mobile app development experts! It's being really good to work with.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Nothing specific comes to mind, they have exceeded my expectations. It’s been a very successful engagement for them.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the CTO of Astroselling, an online platform to manage MercadoLibre stores quickly, easily and on a massive scale (MercadoLibre is Latin America's most popular e-commerce site by number of visitors)

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ThinkUp?

We are developing a mobile app to use as LitePOS (Point Of Sale) because we detected more than 80% stores need to synchronize their online sales channel with offline sales through their mobile, and we visualize a native mobile app is the best experience we can bring to our clients.

What were your goals for this project?

Develop LitePOS Astroselling's native iOS and Android apps and transform +75% web users to mobile.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Referral. Our CEO and the CEO of ThinkUp shared some personal connections. I received many recommendations and did interviews with many companies and found their proposal to be the best one. We selected ThinkUp because they understood our requirements rather than just giving us a quote.

Describe the project in detail.

It all started in a Discovery phase (which ThinkUp suggested). During the Discovery phase ThinkUp's Project Manager and Designer began the project talking to our VP of Product and working with the wireframes using tools Invision and after we approved everything, they made a functional prototype using Sketch and Invision.

The UX/UI designer created a stunning User Interface! Following Discovery we got into Developmant stage. ThinkUp started developing our Backend using Laravel and admin panel using also PHP Laravel integrated with Astroselling admin panel. Next we started with iOS app native and Android app native developments.

What was the team composition?

Our main point of contact has been Nico, who is the technical lead of the solution. There has also been 1 Project Manager, 1 UI/UX designer, 2 iOS developers, 2 Android developers, 1 Backend developer and 1 QA Engineer assigned to our project.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Right now the app has been released to a small group of users. We are collecting feedback from them indicating they enjoy using the app and it is a 4.5/5 rating app. They suggested us some cool new features and ideas that we should work on and add to our backlog.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We use Agile and Scrum based methodologies with Daily meetings including all the team. From our side a Product Owner was assigned for that role and is following the project, has meetings and sprint plannings with the team every week. Following the mentioned methodology, collaboration has been very effective so far.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Communication: They were always available and willing to discuss with us to find ways to improve the solution. Quality: The quality and consistency of the team makes ThinkUp stand out over other vendors. Their iOS and Android developer skills and their UI/UX skills. They always update us on the latest news from Apple and Google to help us optimize our app.

Are there any areas for improvement?

There’s nothing I’d have them to improve. They’re a great partner, one we truly appreciate.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and co-founder of uy! carmela, the first healthcare platform in Latin America that connects hundreds of patients with healthcare professionals.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ThinkUp?

We needed someone to develop a mobile app for professionals to use.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They’re developing our iOS and Android app. In that process, they do all the design as well as front- and backend development. Taking ownership of the project, they spoke with stakeholders to get insight into their needs. They were really involved and developed everything from scratch. We're now getting feedback on the iOS version while they develop the Android version.

What is the team composition?

The team is composed of one project manager, one iOS developer, one Android developer, one backend developer, a frontend developer, a QA person, and a UX/UI person. The entire team was senior.

How did you come to work with ThinkUp?

We selected them because they were recommended by one of our clients that had worked with them on an app in the past. After contacting them and a few other companies, we liked them the best. Their price and they were very clear. They gave us great confidence.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $13,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June 2019, and the collaboration is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our stakeholders reviewing the completed iOS app were impressed with the quality of the UX. Once they complete the Android app as well, we're hoping to retain long-term users. The team was very confident, clear, and made suggestions. They wanted to talk to the professionals to make sure they knew their needs. We get great comments about the iOS app and are sure the Android app will be praised as well.

How did ThinkUp perform from a project management standpoint?

Their project manager managed the project and the team. We communicate via Hangouts, Zoom, and email. They use Teamwork internally as well. There are daily meetings and communication is great. They meet deadlines and finish tasks on time. In fact, the iOS app was complete a month early. With each finished sprint, they gave us a release to test.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their team got involved immediately, always looking for new concepts to grow our business. They update us on the latest news from Google to help us to optimize our app. We appreciated their eagerness to speak with the final users for ideas, comments, and suggestions.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, they meet my expectations. They've delivered the highest quality of any development firm I've worked with.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’d recommend them to anyone.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I lead tech & product for Musical Medication, an audio streaming service for health & wellness.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire ThinkUp?

We wanted to create a mobile app that played nature sounds, to help people sleep and cover up distracting noises. The application would be the starting point for a more full-featured app.

What were your goals for this project?

To launch our companies first mobile app, to better prepare us for future projects. To build a simple app that has unique functionality.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I met Mauro in person at a startup showcase event, that my company was presenting at in Minneapolis, MN

Describe the project in detail.

The main function occurs on the audio player page. We designed a really unique "mixing" feature, where users could tap sounds on and off, and set the audio levels, with ease. We provided the audio, and ThinkUp handled the playback and created the algorithm to mix sounds in and out over time. The pricing model allowed for free install, 7 days of use, then prompts users to buy.

What was the team composition?

I interfaced with Mauro, then he worked his team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

It's too early to cite metrics, but all our friends and family are loving the app!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Mauro was always very open and easy to deal with.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their ability to requirements and overall openness and kindness. This was my first mobile app, so I had a lot of questions about launching to app stores, approval process, pricing, etc... They were great at walking me through everything.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Very few that I can think of. Maybe, to provide a checklist to clients of what elements go into a successful mobile app build, so clients know what steps must occur, in what order before launching.
