Treeview

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a principal software specialist for a medical equipment manufacturing company. Our head office is in Minneapolis, but we have branches in 149 countries worldwide. We have equipment in the market for almost all departments, such as diabetic, spine, cardio, and gastro. We’re one of the world’s leading medical equipment manufacturers.

I’m responsible for devising the XR strategy for medical devices. We’re doing XR applications so doctors can get trained on the latest equipment because many doctors are proficient on existing devices. When new devices come into the market, we use XR technology to train those doctors to upgrade themselves to the latest technology in the market.

Additionally, we have an academy with its own curated content learning modules for all the procedures on the server. We’ve integrated our XR applications through the academy; it’s the first of its kind. Only people who are enrolled in our academy can access it.

Recently, there’s been a change in structure, so I’ve also taken a project management role.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeview?

We did another project for cardiac management, which was a training simulation for a microimplant. It was the first XR project using HoloLens, and we had to set up a new structure and team for development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

This is our third project with Treeview; we have a product launch happening in September. Our latest project was CAD models of the devices, which are engineering models.

Initially, we didn’t have any specific project data documentation ready. We only gave Treeview our academy course. We picked up the information from the academy and provided them with that essential brief. Treeview was able to start the project with that minimum input. They came up with the project structure, and over time, they enhanced it.

Treeview did a rough document and estimation and started working based on that. They anticipated new additions because doctors might see the application for the first time and develop new requirements after their review.

What is the team composition?

We predominantly communicate with three teammates, but they have seven people on the team. We have weekly calls with Gonzalo (Software Engineer) and Horacio (Founder & CEO). We can also contact the 3D development team. When we need clarification from them, we call Raimundo (Technical Artist).

How did you come to work with Treeview?

We searched online and gathered information about several vendors out of Clutch. Based on the reviews we collected, we shortlisted 10 companies. At the time, Treeview was in fourth place, but now they’ve gone up to second or third. Out of the 10 companies, we shortlisted the last three.

We were looking for a company that was budget-friendly and proficient in HoloLens.  Treeview had experience handling HoloLens and answered our questions based on our requirements, so we were interested in them. Ultimately, Treeview toped the others; they performed well and had a good pitch.

How much have you invested with them?

The project cost depends on its complexity. The latest project for spine therapy was around $85,000 in the beginning. However, we were asked by the SMEs and doctors to include specific animations to explain the procedure more clearly, so we accommodated the development and had to spend more on resources. We submitted a change request, and the extra cost was $4,500.

After the new equipment was added, doctors asked to replace the latest equipment in the procedure, so we raised a second change request for $15,000. All the previous projects were on par with the cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’re close to completing the third project in April 2024. On average, we take six months per project, so we’ve been with them for a year and a half.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Nobody knew the outcome or how much impact it would make. Treeview has churned out an application that has brought in audible amazement from doctors and medical professionals. 

We used to present the first application at conferences with the smallest pacemaker we’ve developed. Doctors were amazed when we showcased it across 7–8 countries, which directly increased the device's sales. Moreover, it gained momentum, and we had close to 1,300 downloads from the Apple Store in five months.

We started getting requests from different operations units. We did the first project for the cardiac rhythm management unit, and then the spine division came in and said they wanted something for them as well. Overall, it created a lot of sensation, and that’s how the third project began.

This XR is one of the main attractions in our experience center in Singapore. We have a separate experience center for visitors where we present the solutions to the user.

How did Treeview perform from a project management standpoint?

During the initial two projects, Treeview was flexible and accommodating. There was no interference from our side unless there were heavy changes. Nonetheless, they delivered on time, and we never found issues with their timeline.

When changes are needed, they observe the costs and absorb some of them. We’ve had weekly calls since the project started so we can have constant updates on the progress, which helps us share ideas, collaborate, and accommodate the product.

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

We mainly communicate with Gonzalo; he’s our primary contact. We usually reach out to him if we need any clarification or information. Any immediate information should be passed on to him. We typically don’t wait for the weekly call to pass the information to Gonzalo.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They have a robust 3D team that understands our requirements. I have a 3D animation background, and I’ve worked on AR applications for engineering companies. Therefore, I understand the team's skill set and know when their efforts are nominal or overshooting. They provide all the information we want and understand the concepts, even if it’s the first time they’re doing medical applications.

Moreover, Treeview volunteers and provides significant initiatives and suggestions.  For example, all the applications we’ve done so far are integrated with our academy; they came up with that proposal. We didn’t expect that.

As a medical company, we had many processes and teams with whom we had to complete the login integration. We had a separate team handling our employees' login and another handling external users' login, so we had to liaise with each member to do the integration every time.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I haven’t seen any need for improvements. We’ve been getting all the inputs of whatever we need on time.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The mutual learning for both of us is that the visualization has to be more robust. Visualizing a medical procedure is very complex because it’s organic matter, and we both got stuck at some stages. We couldn’t visualize the steps before starting the course of the phase. We then realized the bottleneck and what we had to clear.

BACKGROUND

I’m the product director for a pharmaceutical company based in Germany. I’m in a global position overseeing digital product development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeview?

We needed to build a product from scratch.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Treeview developed an XR application for the App Store. The platform was an education app. They created the product on Unity for extended reality purposes. Users can turn on the camera and experience their disease in a 3D room.

What is the team composition?

We talked regularly with three teammates, including someone responsible for tech, someone responsible for product development, and someone responsible for product design and content. The extended team had 5–6 people in total.

How did you come to work with Treeview?

We started with our idea and vision. Then, we contacted Treeview and several other agencies. We talked with all of them, and Treeview was the most promising. We gave them a small task to deliver in two weeks; they delivered on time with excellent results. Additionally, their price was reasonable.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent over €100,000 (approximately $108,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started our engagement in April 2023 with the two-week assignment. The actual project went along until January 2024.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We talked to many users and doctors, and over 90% were excited about the product.

How did Treeview perform from a project management standpoint?

They always delivered what they promised. We mainly communicated through Microsoft Teams and Zoom calls. Additionally, they had different methods of collaborating with us.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were upfront, honest, and straightforward. If they didn’t understand something or something needed more work, Treeview’s team was open and made everything clear.

Secondly, their customer feedback about the project was excellent. They quickly understood what they could implement, so we didn’t lose anything in translation.

Finally, they always pushed to do more. Treeview always delivered more than we requested, which was a pleasant surprise.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there wasn’t anything to improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You have to know what you want. The more you know what you want, the better results you can expect.

We measured the project's success through Treeview’s ability to deliver everything on time. Based on these metrics, we felt that the project was successful. They delivered on all of their promises, so we were happy with their work. 

How did Treeview perform from a project management standpoint?

We worked in an Agile environment and used Notion for project management. The team was extremely transparent throughout the engagement, and we used Zoom for communication. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Treeview worked effectively as a team. The service provider was highly responsive, motivated, and engaged throughout the project. They always met our needs and went above and beyond for our project. Treeview worked independently, and we feel like we got a lot of value out of the engagement. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing we can come up with at this point. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They are a great choice for small to medium-sized projects. We recommend using their services because they provide a lot of value for the money you spend.

We communicated with Treeview through Microsoft Teams and email. They’re super responsive. I was initially concerned about the time zone difference but everything worked well. We had at least one weekly check-in and they met deadlines. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m impressed by Treeview’s quick reaction time to queries. They work in an Agile methodology and manage the project really well. I appreciated the good attitude of the entire team and how accommodating they were. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there weren’t any problems. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Som may think working with a boutique studio could be challenging. I’ve found that it’s not about how many people are in the company but rather how they manage the work and how efficient the team is. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of PR and clinical research at VisionweaRx, a VR group developing diagnostic systems within the eyecare space.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeview?

As an eyecare provider (ECP), I’ve seen many things move into technology since the COVID-19 pandemic. In the area of learning disabilities and dyslexia, children were experiencing many challenges in the traditional paper testing systems, according to time spent and stress factors. 

We decided that if we could take these processes into a VR space, we could have a lot better data from a clinician’s perspective and be able to create a space that was a bit more conducive for children; it’s more fun for them, they enjoy the process more, and it’s quicker. Moreover, I would be able to control the biometrical information and measure that.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Treeview provides us with AR and VR development. They've developed a platform that allows us to test children and diagnose dyslexia. First, we provided the team with the physical paper-based test, and the whole team sat through it to see how it worked. We also gave them test material, documentation, and processes. From there, they started developing the test in the VR space. 

The team has built out the UI/UX and has written algorithms for the process to work. They've developed the platform using Unity, with the goal of integrating it with various technologies and hardware. We initially used the Pico Neo3 headset, which has a built-in eye-tracking system. Our test has a writing function and includes a physical writing piece for which users can utilize the Pico controller. Now, with the new Oculus headset coming out with a writing tool that attaches to the remote, we're considering shifting to that system. 

The test also uses a virtual try-on system that Treeview has built, which takes real and AR measurements. The system virtually imposes the frame on the face, enabling us to measure and take photographs, and provides metrics like frame sizes. We've done alpha testing on Apple and Android. Currently, the software is ready for beta testing to calculate the system's accuracy compared to the paper-based test. Our goal is to release the product in January 2023. 

What is the team composition?

Initially, I worked with Horacio (Founder & Managing Director); he helped us with the initial game plan and execution. Since the execution stage started, we've worked directly with the team. Our main point of contact is Gonzalo (Software Engineer), who is the head of development, and we also have UI/UX specialists I don't directly work with.  

How did you come to work with Treeview?

We connected with them through another company whose CEO had built virtual try-on systems in the AR space. They'd used Treeview, and the team was able to deliver accurately. I connected with this other company to use their software within my practice. From there, the CEO of this company and I started brainstorming, and our project developed into the dyslexia test idea. Using Treeview was a logical step for this project, as they were already building the try-on systems. 

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent about $20,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in January 2021, and the physical implementation began in January 2022. Our partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Thanks to Treeview's work, we can now accurately diagnose dyslexia within a VR system for the first time ever. Previously, paper-based tests would take up to eight hours, and with this system, we can do it within one hour. Moreover, the virtual space has given us so much more information than before, and it makes the process a lot more fun for children. 

The try-on system's metrics are accurate up to 0.1 mm — more than a ruler. Although the system is hardware-dependent, the software is absolutely fantastic. During beta testing, we'll take children who've already taken the paper-based test and put them through the VR system to test its accuracy. From what I've seen, the new test hasn't had any false positives or negatives, so everything is correlating well. 

Moreover, with the biometric data, the final analytical product is incredible. In the past, I've had to gauge how a child feels based on looking at them. Now, I don't have to guess because we get feedback from the system. I'm not very tech-savvy, and this project has been a big leap for me, so it's been great to work with a group of people that know their stuff. Bringing the medical and technical sides together and combining them with our vision has been challenging. However, Treeview can take our vision from a next-level concept to something visible and functional within the VR space. Overall, we've loved building this solution with Treeview; it's been fun, and seeing the children experience it has been amazing. 

How did Treeview perform from a project management standpoint?

Before working with them, I had never met a company in the creative space that wasn't late for deadlines. We've been incredibly chuffed with Treeview because they always deliver on time if we set a deadline. Often, they finish early and make sure they sort out glitches before they deliver, so their project management is just incredible. They've never been late, and their delivery matches their promises, so their project management is incredible.  

As for the budget, it's been difficult to define since we're building something new. From what I've seen, the value for money has been exceptional, and the project has cost less than I thought it would. 

We use Notion to put topics of discussion and project steps, which we regularly share with the team. During the testing stage, we've also put glitches or issues there, and the team ticks those off as they fix them. The approach makes our communication easier because we don't have to speak to each other to know that things are getting done. All our meetings are on Zoom, so we can record them and put them on our Notion document. This way, all our assets are in one place, and we can view them when needed. 

For day-to-day communication, we use Slack, where everyone can see the train of the conversation and pin comments. Since we need around 20 people in on our discussions, we don't email as much. The team communicates very well and is happy to answer questions, even if we might ask the same one in different ways. They're also clear about possible restrictions in terms of hardware and software, so our expectations are always in line with the deliverables. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I'm impressed by their incredible team. Any business is as successful as their weakest link, and at Treeview, they have a group of people who know what they're doing and play to their own strengths. Their UI/UX designers are specialized, and we see it in their work. A strong project manager like Horacio, who can drive a thought and pull it across to someone else, is also very valuable. 

For this type of project, it's one thing to have someone that can do the work, and it's another thing to make a concept into something tangible. Their team has a lot of strengths, and the fact that they're together makes them good at what they do. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

While I'm happy to give constructive criticism, I don't have any for Treeview — I've never had any problems. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

My advice is that you don't have to be scared of going into a project like this. Don't worry if you don't understand how it will pan out because Treeview can take an idea and implement it successfully. They'll ask the correct questions to ensure that the product from your idea comes together. Many people are scared to take a leap because they've had situations where they haven't gotten what they expected. However, taking that risk with Treeview is worth it. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a manager at a company that has the mission to make learning more intuitive by helping individuals develop the skills they need for career success. We focus on producing VR simulations for multiple clients (designed by each industry). Our technology provides immersive training, shown to have higher retention when compared to video tutorials, slide presentations, or other training methods.

We focus on developing a pipeline of talent for jobs that are going unfilled, working with technical/community colleges, high schools and workforce development departments while reducing cost and risk for employers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeview?

We hired them to develop VR simulations for an end client.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Treeview provides us with VR development. We gave them a functional document they had to follow, including storyboards and guidelines on what the client wanted. From there, they’ve worked to create simulations. They’ve delivered three projects and are working on the fourth one. The projects have included two simulations for the culinary and one for an electrical construction industry. The current one is for aviation.

The team creates the entire simulation. They support the project end-to-end, including testing and fixing any bugs along the way.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with 3–4 people, including Horacio (Managing Director), Pablo (Unity C# & VR/AR Programmer), and Jimmy (Unity 3D Developer). 

How did you come to work with Treeview?

I didn’t personally hire Treeview; they were already our partner when I came on board. However, I believe we hired them because the team saw potential in them. 

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with them in August 2021, and our partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Collaboration with Treeview is very good. They’re professionals with a lot of experience and skills that have helped us reach the quality we wanted. As for metrics, we evaluate the number of bugs and the team’s responsiveness. We also look at their effectiveness in proposing solutions and ideas as well as the follow-up, day-to-day communication, conflict resolution, and the quality of QA.

How did Treeview perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re great at project management and communication. We don’t have a language barrier because they speak very good English. They’re very proactive in proposing solutions for issues both on their and our sides. As for deadlines, when they commit to a timeline, they almost always meet it (although VR development sometimes can be unexpected). We communicate through Slack and video calls.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m impressed with Treeview’s proactive approach. We appreciate that they don’t do finger-pointing or stay idle when an issue isn’t on their side. The team is on top of things and very kind and communicative. Most importantly, the quality of their work is also good; they have strong developers. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think they have any weak points. They’re a very strong-performing team, and hopefully, we can continue working with them.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You should trust them! Also, be clear with your expectations and have documentation on what you need. This way, you can make sure everything is understood and avoid misunderstandings. You don’t need to micromanage them; you can let them do the work and be sure it’ll be good.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the director of Ulta Beauty. We experiment and try out new technologies, such as AR and VR. My team, in particular, is called the new experiences team and we define and create experiences to try new technologies and show these experiences to our customers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeview?

One of the things that we wanted to do last year was provide AR experiences inside our stores. We did research last year, and we found that using Unity allows people to create AR content right on both iOS and Android platforms. Treeview knew about developing these kinds of experiences on Unity, and that’s why we reached out to them.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Treeview helped us create an AR experience for our guests and wanted to distribute it on iOS and Android. We first discussed that we didn't want to create an experience from scratch, so they proposed two solutions. One was to create a dynamic framework that would allow our people to use this tool in the future to create new experiences. 

Since we also have a strong ETA to accomplish, they proposed at the beginning to create a standalone library for one experience, which would be like an MVP. 

Consequently, the first thing we did was run this standalone project to bring forth something simple as an MVP. They created this experience, and then the second stage was to make it more dynamic so that we could use it in the future. This would allow us to focus on the content, and then the tool will generate the goal.

In addition to that, they created VR experiences for us.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a manager, an architect, a developer, and 1–2 3D content designers.

How did you come to work with Treeview?

My boss knew Treeview from her network here in Uruguay. She contacted them, and I followed up with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from November 2021–May 2022 to create. At the end of last year, they started the second stage, which entailed the development of the dynamic framework. We also had them make the first VR experience in the middle of that stage.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our feedback is more qualitative than quantitative since I don’t have any numbers for this. We wanted to experiment, and as a result, we learned a lot of new things. For this year, we’re adapting our experimentation based on the finding that we’ve had with the framework that Treeview created.

How did Treeview perform from a project management standpoint?

They were pretty organized in terms of project management. We used Slack and scheduled meetings through Calendly and Zoom regarding tools.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I'd absolutely work with them again; since my team is all about new experiences and innovation, our requirements changed mid-project, and Treeview was always very open to adapting without putting the deadline at risk. We always had a back and forth with them to accomplish our goals without changing the dates, which was awesome.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don't think there's anything they can improve on.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the manager of the Mechanical Engineering Department for a University in Canada.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeview.studio?

We were looking to partner with a vendor to help us develop a mobile application for AR. Our purpose was to create educational content that would be useful for engineering students.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, we needed to provide more experiential learning opportunities for our students. We also anticipated that this would evolve and still have significant value when we returned to the in-person classes.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Treeview.studio created iOS and Android apps for us, and our team was in charge of handling the content. Treeview came up with a relatively easy and lightweight way for us to integrate and manage our content generation and onboarding. They also helped with a lot of the app backend development and troubleshooting.

We integrated the app with Unity, an open-source game animation engine. Treeview built a custom plugin that allowed us to directly export Unity objects and experiences into the mobile app framework. They also created a web-based backend for managing the content on the app. Currently, they offer maintenance services as part of their contract.

What is the team composition?

We worked with at least three people from Treeview that I know, including Horacio (Managing Director). However, I’m unaware of how many more people worked on backend development.

How did you come to work with Treeview.studio?

We had some college students working on vendor analysis for us. Treeview came up as a firm with experience. They had some app framework in place that they could quickly adapt and customize to our needs for a fraction of the cost of what other vendors were able to offer.

Treeview was more flexible and offered a more customizable service compared to other vendors that were trying to sell us a solution that didn’t necessarily fit well in the engineering learning realm. Apart from flexibility, convenience, and price, I also found out that Horacio was very responsive.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $15,000–$18,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started talking to Treeview around October 2020, and we had a contract in place in the middle of December 2020. We had the app data up and running by February 2021, and they completed the primary outcomes of the contract by the end of April 2021. The whole project took about four months, and they completed a big task within the first 5–6 weeks of starting working with us. The contract also included a year’s worth of service which we're currently in.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’re just starting to notice the results and need to build meaningful content to support education from our side now. From the beta test that we did in the winter, I can say that this app provided us a new educational modality to teach students — it'll be very helpful in the context of remote lessons.

We don’t have solid data on the impact yet, but the students like that it has a more student-focused learning approach. With this development, we have the ability to provide a hands-on aspect of education to a remote environment. Even in an in-person context, there are some use cases that this type of learning makes more sense than the traditional methods.

Treeview did a really good job of constantly communicating with us and meeting our needs. They also did a really good job of collaborating with our students during the development and design, and I’m happy with how attentive they were. If we needed to make small scope changes or pivot, they were happy to do that.

How did Treeview.studio perform from a project management standpoint?

Treeview project management was pretty strong. My team did more of the day-to-day communication, and we used Slack as the main communication channel. Treeview was very responsive through Slack and typically responded within minutes.

They quickly solved problems, and we had no issues going back and forth with them. They kept us informed along the way and were able to meet all of the deadlines that we gave them. They were able to meet the deadline required for the data to be rolled out for one of our winter courses, which was a tight one — I was happy with the communication overall.

What did you find most impressive about them?

When we did scope changes, Treeview was really accommodating in keeping working under the same contract. They weren’t like other companies that, with scope changes, also change the contract and the cost. Treeview was very flexible in terms of realizing that the changes required about the same amount of work — they were very fair from a cost standpoint and very willing to work with us.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’m satisfied with Treeview’s work, and I haven’t found any deficiencies in any particular area.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an account executive at a marketing agency.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with Treeview.studio?

We brought them for their AR development services.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Their team created an Instagram filter for a competition that was part of a marketing campaign for one of our clients.

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with the project manager. I know there were others handling the development.

How did you come to work with Treeview.studio?

It was our first time working with this technology so we asked around for references and many of them led us to Treeview.studio. We asked for quotations and proposals from different companies and ended working with them. We liked that they’re based in the same country we are, which gave us peace of mind. Additionally, we were impressed with their great references.

How much have you invested in them?

We’ve invested less than $10,00.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started this project in January 2021 and finished in February 2021.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We were happy with their work. At first, we delivered the filters to the client and encountered a couple of setbacks. The filters didn’t respond to movement as we expected, but Treeview.studio took some time to re-work that and we ended up being very happy with the final results. They had great flexibility and a good response to our feedback.

How did Treeview.studio perform from a project management standpoint?

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and owner of an R&D software firm. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Treeview.studio?

We needed additional help on some of our AR applications because our internal staff was booked. They’re part of a circle of trusted vendors that we’ve interviewed and used internally, so we had them help us with an AR application project.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They’re primarily using AR Foundation within Unity, which uses mostly C#, to create the app. The final product is a mobile app for iOS and Android. It was part of a huge immersive training project, but they helped us with the stand-alone companion app for the experience.   

What is the team composition?

We worked with one person directly.  

How did you come to work with Treeview.studio?

We found them on Clutch and verified their quality through internal referrals. Our company has about 75 employees, and part of the group is a gaming studio. We asked those employees for referrals. It’s a close-knit community, so we figured they would provide us with good information. The team recommended Treeview.studio.  

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $30,000.  

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in August 2020 and have ongoing work for them.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Their services allowed flexibility and elasticity in our workforce that ultimately delivered the application our client wanted. We needed additional help, and they provided excellent expertise in AR and R&D work.  

How did Treeview.studio perform from a project management standpoint?

We’re an agile shop that works in Microsoft Teams and are a bit picky about communication styles. Our expectations are that our vendors and employees can work in close to real-time communication. They didn’t stand out negatively, but we felt that their responsiveness and communication were about average for an outsourced group. Our main points of contact had very good English skills.   

What did you find most impressive about them?

They have a specific domain strength in AR.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’m happy to leave them with a positive review.
