OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire United Monks Technologies to accomplish?

• When we first reached out to United Monks Technologies, we were facing a double challenge. On one hand, our HR platform’s interface was outdated—users were frustrated with clunky design, confusing navigation, and poor mobile usability. On the other hand, our backend system was struggling to keep up with growing traffic. The infrastructure just wasn’t built for scale.
• We weren’t just looking for a facelift or a server upgrade—we needed a thoughtful, end-to-end solution where design and technology worked hand in hand. HR platforms are naturally complex, and every interaction—from onboarding to performance reviews—needs to be smooth, intuitive, and reliable. That’s exactly where we needed help.

2-5 Employees

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

United Monks Technologies structured the project into clear, thoughtful phases and executed each one smoothly.

• They started by really understanding our needs—interviewing stakeholders, shadowing employees, and mapping user journeys. Alongside that, they audited our AWS setup to spot infrastructure issues.
• From there, they moved into design—creating user personas, wireframes, and high-fidelity mockups. We were especially impressed by the interactive prototypes they tested with actual HR professionals, which helped shape a more intuitive experience.
• On the tech side, they re-architected our cloud infrastructure using AWS best practices, set up a CI/CD pipeline, and migrated our legacy databases to a scalable environment. They also took care of security and GDPR compliance.

Once everything was ready, they deployed the final setup, ran stress tests, and continued to support us post-launch with monitoring and optimization. We felt supported from start to finish.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The impact was clear—users were more engaged, and support tickets around navigation dropped quickly. The platform ran faster, even during peak times, and our dev team felt more confident with smoother deployments and safer rollbacks.

Best of all, we brought in two new enterprise clients, thanks to the upgraded UI and performance.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

United Monks Technologies used ClickUpand Slack for daily project tracking and communication. We had weekly stand-up meetings and bi-weekly sprint reviews, which kept everyone aligned and informed. One particular scenario stood out: we had a tight internal deadline for a major client demo, and the team pushed forward a mini-sprint over a weekend to ensure we had a working prototype in time. They not only delivered ahead of the revised schedule but also included last-minute suggestions we hadn’t even formally documented.

They were incredibly responsive to our evolving needs—if we flagged an issue or needed clarification, we’d often get a response within hours, if not minutes.

What was your primary form of communication with United Monks Technologies?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What really stood out about United Monks Technologies was how deeply they understood our domain and translated that into both design and architecture. This wasn’t a typical vendor relationship—they challenged our thinking, asked the right questions, and really pushed us to consider the long term.

Ashish, in particular, played a key role in guiding the entire process. His leadership kept the team focused, and he made sure design, tech, and business goals were always aligned. One standout moment was when their UX team went beyond our internal stakeholders and interviewed actual candidates using our platform—something we hadn’t even thought to do. That led to some unexpected but impactful design changes.

What impressed us most was their cross-functional approach. Designers, developers, and architects weren’t working in silos—they were constantly collaborating, making sure every decision worked across the board.

Are there any areas for improvement or something United Monks Technologies could have done differently?

None that I could think of.

The goal was to design and implement a seamless booking system tailored to the needs of our many clinics. The primary objectives included developing user-friendly workflows that allowed patients to easily book appointments, create accounts, log in securely, and complete a personalized intake process. This intake process presented patients with specific questions based on their previous responses, ensuring a streamlined and relevant experience.
To further enhance the system, AI was incorporated to assist with dynamic intake forms, suggesting questions based on patient responses and history. Additionally, intelligent scheduling features analyzed appointment availability and patient preferences to recommend optimal booking times, improving both efficiency and user satisfaction.
The system also provided robust administrative functionality, allowing clinic staff to manage bookings on behalf of patients. Administrators could easily schedule appointments, reschedule when necessary, and monitor overall clinic capacity. The deliverables focused on ensuring a secure, intuitive platform that aligned with the clinic's operational needs while offering the potential for future scalability.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since the project's completion, we’ve booked 462 patients, driving revenue growth and confirming the unmet needs in the SESLHD category. The new system reduced administrative time spent on scheduling by about 40%, streamlining staff workflows. Patient feedback showed a 15% improvement in booking satisfaction, while appointment no-shows dropped by 30% due to the automated reminders.
