Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Scope of Work

Trianglz was hired to design and develop a bespoke web application platform for my new export/import startup. The platform connects exporters with importers, functioning as an online exhibition rather than a traditional marketplace. Its primary goal is to verify exporters for importers, addressing a significant pain point for importers by ensuring they can trust the exporters they connect with. Additionally, the platform showcases exporters to help them market their products while offering value-added services for both parties.

The scope of work included:

• Branding: Crafting a unique identity that aligns with the startup’s vision and goals.
  Product Requirements and Specifications: Collaborating closely with us to define and document all requirements.
• Platform Development: Building a fully functional cloud-based platform tailored to our specific needs, including user-friendly interfaces for both exporters and importers.
• Cloud Infrastructure: Setting up a reliable and scalable infrastructure to support the platform’s operations and scalability.

 
Key Deliverables

1. Fully Functional, Responsive Web Application Platform: A user-centric online exhibition platform tailored to connect exporters and importers. Platform features include exporter verification, product showcasing, and various VAS options.
2. Branding Identity & Manual: A unique brand identity developed to resonate with the platform’s mission and target audience.
3. Production Environment.
4. Product source code.
5. Full Product Documentation.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• Timely Delivery of a Fully Functional Platform: The platform was delivered within the agreed 6-month timeline (+1 month of pre-project preparation), meeting all specifications and functionality requirements.
• Exporter Verification System: A key feature was successfully implemented to verify exporters, addressing the primary pain point for importers and ensuring trust and reliability in the platform. This very feature significantly reduced the need for importers to visit embassies or conduct lengthy manual verification processes, saving time and resources.
  High Satisfaction Rate. We couldn't fit this feature in any ready-template. TrianglZ did a great effort custom-developing it.
• Seamless User Experience: The platform offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface for both exporters and importers, leading to positive initial feedback from early users.
• Scalable & Secure Cloud Infrastructure: The cloud-based infrastructure ensures the platform can handle increasing user loads and scale as the business grows.
• Successful Branding Alignment: The branding resonates with the target audience, providing the startup with a professional and cohesive identity in the market.

Initial trials show active interest from exporters and importers, validating the platform's concept and features.

We wanted to pull our developers off our legacy systems and needed a vendor to take on those systems.

TrianglZ helps us by taking on various backend services and furnishing our platforms with an array of content items. The team also owns a critical backend invoices system that’s considered the hanging bridge between content and money. They mainly use Ruby on Rails, AWS, Docker, Atlassian products, MySQL, and other well-known technologies.

Yassin (CTO & Co-Founder) is our main point of contact. He manages a team of engineers. In total, we collaborate with seven people from TrianglZ.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

TrianglZ has deployed a lot of releases in the past two years. The most remarkable one has been the upgrade of our legacy system, which has extended its lifespan. On top of that, they’ve made it compatible with other systems. That’s a huge milestone for the team. 

Moreover, their resources are thorough in developing and testing products. They stay on top of everything and are great at risk mitigation. Their members let us know when they’re doing an upgrade.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality of their teams and how fast they hire resources are impressive. We’ve had vendors that couldn’t find Ruby on Rails developers fast enough, so we couldn’t take on projects. By contrast, TrianglZ excels at finding developers quickly. They have a joint program with a university — that’s how they find quality developers. 

Moreover, they’ve instilled our culture within their team. As a result, they’re always aligned with us. This is truly important for us; they’re not just another vendor working for our company — they want to be involved. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

They should have a staff augmentation-based business model. Currently, they only offer managed services. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I highly recommend working with TrianglZ if you’re looking for a team with great communication, good tech leads, and strong developers.
