Tinsa Soft

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO of a Swedish property investment and development company.

What challenge were you trying to address with Tinsa Soft?

We hired Tinsa Soft to build a mobile application for the residents of a housing development. We wanted an app that could help people complete a variety of tasks, like ordering food, getting their clothes dry cleaned, and scheduling rides.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Tinsa Soft built a mobile app for iOS and Android from scratch. They created designs for the app and reached out to us for feedback before initiating the build phase. The team is providing ongoing maintenance and updates.

What is the team composition?

We have a designer, a project manager, and a developer assigned to us.

How did you come to work with Tinsa Soft?

Tinsa Soft made a website for one of our colleagues, and they referred us. We chose them because of their competitive prices and the professionalism of their team.           

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $15,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in February 2019, and they’re still working on perfecting the app.

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

We haven’t been tracking any metrics to determine the success of the app, and they’re still making some finishing touches.

How did Tinsa Soft perform from a project management standpoint?

During the build phase, we were in touch with them every week, sometimes two or three times a week, and they were always available to answer our questions. They completed each task on time and stuck to our initial contract.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They completed a prototype version of the app in three months, and the product has every feature that we required. Their team is very collaborative in their approach, and they’ve done a great job of balancing their recommendations with our opinions. Thanks to our frequent discussions, we were able to choose the best way forward together.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think so, they’ve been great.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure to provide a detailed contract at the beginning. Tinsa Soft will follow it closely.

In order to develop our business and improve our internal processes, we wanted to:

How did you select Tinsa Soft and what were the deciding factors?

We've worked with Tinsa Soft before for similar projects in the past years. We also had the opportunity to meet their representative in order to present them with our new projects. We, therefore, choose them for their reliability and the mutual trust we built in the past years working together on various projects.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We had a clear idea of what and how we wanted. However, Tinsa Soft has been key in choosing adequately the technology to use and how to create what we imagined. Tinsa Soft also proved to be proficient in various technologies (PHP, React, JavaScript) which has been key in both improving our current tools and developing new ones.

We worked with Andrey, a Tinsa Soft executive.
