How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

To hire someone for the job, I researched top web developers, and among a few names, Trigma Solutions showed up. We also checked the reviews and testimonials of the company and were impressed with the feedback it has received. So, we decided to contact them.

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

The website was suggested to be made using DotNET by the developer team of Trigma. We had a few pre-decided foundational requirements for the website that we communicated to the team; beyond that, we let them take full autonomy of technical aspects, design, functionality, etc.

The initial meetings with Trigma revolved around the scope, the user experience, options, the sitemap for the website, and additional features that could be potentially added. Then, the development phase started, where the team took on developing wireframes to build mockups for us and working on the database through APIs.

Trigma provided me with a team of 4 experts: a Front-end developer, a Back-end .NET Developer, a UI/UX Designer, and a project manager.

The project communication and execution were handled quite skillfully by the project manager of the team. Every time there was a new milestone achieved, a change made, or a new feature added to the website, it was communicated in a timely manner.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

We were impressed by the amount of efficiency Trigma brings to the table. The developers of the company recommended several features for the website that we were quite happy to incorporate. Everything was achieved according to the timeline.

No, the project was carried out perfectly.

We performed a lot of online research and eventually ended our search on Trigma as they were noted to be offering the most professional services. They did have some great reviews on their work done, they have the capability to synchronize some amazing innovative plans, and the highly notable factor was the project manager who supervised the complete app development process.

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

I was looking out for a high-quality and cost-efficient product that could be delivered in a timely manner. Before choosing Trigma, we did perform a lot of research and researched globally in many countries.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

The app delivered by Trigma simply exceeded our expectations as it met every requirement that we had mentioned during the commencement of the project. As we strive to improve our current app and create new ones, I am sure that we will use Trigma again, not only for this app but also for our other ones.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I've since moved to a new position, but I previously worked at a tractor parts supplier. We originally focused on doing business with government organizations.

What challenge were you trying to address with Trigma?

We needed to expand into the private sector in order to achieve our desired income goal. I thought it would be best to bring an external firm in to help us widen our approach.  

What was the scope of their involvement?

They built our website. They did everything from the frontend design to the backend development. We wanted our website to be fully functional with respect to online shopping. They implemented the proper framework so people can come to the site directly and place their orders. Every now and then, they will update the website according to our needs. They gave us the first solution 10 to 15 years ago. Back then, it only utilized HTML and CSS. Then, they gave us another solution four or five years ago that uses AngularJS. They've encouraged us to keep using this platform. It's a little more expensive, but it gives the site a polished aesthetic. For the backend, they are using Java, and Spring Boot for the framework. For the database, they are using MariaDB.

When we started out, they gave us a presentation of what our website would look like and they asked for input. We gave them input and they implemented that. We provided documentation, but they were ready beforehand. They did a pretty good job there.

What is the team composition?

At first, we worked with the regional manager and his counterpart. Then, four people were assigned to the project. In total, there were six people involved, which was optimal for our medium-sized organization.

How did you come to work with Trigma?

Due to time constraints, I was not able to develop the website myself. However, a colleague who lives in my hometown had worked with Trigma and recommended them to me. We tried them out and they were very hardworking. They checked off all the boxes and we hired them.

How much have you invested in them?

We've spent around $150,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We've worked together since February 2005.

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

Our organization is one of the largest in the northern region of India, so we expect our partners to provide a solution that is out of the box and unique. We've invested a lot with them, but the returns have been very good. Over the past 15 years, our year-over-year turnaround was around $125,000.

Once we started offering online payment, we attracted a lot of customers even from the southern part of the country. We have exported our product to Mumbai which is in the eastern part of the country. Especially considering the COVID-19 situation in India, the e-commerce capabilities of the website have been great in allowing all customers to place orders at their convenience.

Due to our workforce limitations, we don’t hire more than 100 employees in one organization, so our internal capabilities were strictly limited. As such, we needed an external partner who would emphasize quality over quantity. They recognized this need of ours. Even though the price point has been high, we've been able to attract a lot of new customers and expand our business and online presence thanks to them. As our business has grown, this growth has been reflected in the content of the site.

I really like their company’s confidentiality policy as well. Even though I am the owner of the website, I am not allowed to see the code they've written. However, they provide me with any information that I need. For example, a month ago I needed to know how many people were viewing the website. They gave me the average number of people who view the website in a week but didn't show me the code behind this statistic. They provide insight as to how they are developing, but they don’t let us near the code. I think that is a very good company policy because it keeps me happy while still providing them with their confidentiality.

How did Trigma perform from a project management standpoint?

They take all the burden off their customer, and they are always there. During the major development phases of the project, we've had a project manager that would give us daily updates on their progress and goals. Sometimes they took more time, but the product was really impressive. We had to be patient due to the uniqueness of their solution. Once I saw the beta version of our website, I knew that the time we invested did not go down the drain. For the past year, we have been communicating through phone calls or Zoom meetings. Before that, they would provide updates at in-person meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They are cooperative, hardworking, and really imaginative. Their team is forthcoming, and they offer a fairly good price.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I have an IT background, so I think they should explore other services like AWS Cloud. I am working with AWS Cloud currently, and I think it's a great solution that would enhance their business. I have suggested that to them, and I think they will be implementing it soon. They use Microsoft Azure, which I feel is a little more difficult.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I would say just trust them. Give your ideas to them so they can brainstorm. They're a brilliant team, so you should just sit back, relax, and let them do everything.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a navigational service company. We supply nautical charts and other charts used by sailors and merchants for their safe navigations. We do some emergency kits and other things for navigation purposes.

What challenge were you trying to address with Trigma?

The marine industry is pretty old. The industry was facing digitalization issues. Everybody started from paper maps and then we moved to the age of computers. There was a strong need for a web application that would allow marinas to quickly search and make waypoints.

Before this, weather, sounds, light points, tides, and everything else were all on paper. They’ve had to log this data for at least the last 20 years, but we needed to convert the logbooks into digital format.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Trigma developed a cloud-based Java application. Based on the hard copies we had, they built that information into the application. There was an option where they could make the changes and add the field.

One of the features built into the app accounts for the flag state of each country. There are different rules and regulations that mariners need to follow depending on the flag state, so it’s important that they have the most up to date information. For example, Canada needed an electronic book for their flag state that followed a specific format.

The important point was to connect the changes that the captain, second officer, or third officer are making, to the main server. If the superintendent or the ship manager goes, they can quickly review it. It allows users to monitor on what’s happening on the ship.

What is the team composition?

There were 8–9 people working on the project in total. Some of them were overlapping. At one time, there were 5–6 on the team.

How did you come to work with Trigma?

We initially met with a couple of companies to get an idea of how we could approach the project and how fast it could be done. I met Trigma’s founder at a webinar and decided they would be the best fit.  

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $55,000–$60,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2020 and wrapped up the project in June 2020. The maintenance is ongoing.

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

They were quick to understand what we needed and delivered it. They picked up things really well.

How did Trigma perform from a project management standpoint?

We used a project management software where they listed all the work they’ve done. We had group sessions with them on a weekly basis. There were ongoing discussions.

They walked us through what they did so we knew what was going on. They were very good with time management. We never had any late deliverables. All milestones were properly met.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re consistent. They put a lot into planning the development and it worked out really well. . I was impressed by their attention to detail. For example, and purchased some of the other licenses just to see how they could increase connectivity for users

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I’m happy with their service.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Their CEO is brilliant. They’re very knowledgeable. I was surprised to see they were a startup because they’ve really grown. Contact them. They’re the complete package.
