BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the president and CEO of a SaaS for an automotive dealership.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with VKAPS IT Solutions?

I was looking for SaaS and full stack development for a CRM system. Previously, I worked with another developer, but that didn’t work out. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They helped me with the UI design and problem-solving in Twilio. I came up with the solutions and they wrote everything in PHP.

What is the team composition?

I work with one person specifically but he has a team that manages various tasks.

For the most part, they did a really good job. We contact each other through Skype or WhatsApp and we typically also use recorded video screencasts. We both use Grammarly to communicate, so they do exceptionally well in that respect.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re good at responding to customers and they go the extra mile to help when there’s an emergency. One time I had a problem over the weekend, and they helped me, which some developers wouldn't do. They greatly outperform my previous developer and we have a good relationship.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I recommend that they use the most cutting-edge technology possible and consider the technology used today rather than just doing it the way the customer wants. This will help them work smarter, not harder. I’ve also experienced problems due to misunderstanding or miscommunication that should have been eliminated from the beginning.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Thorough preparation is key. Be intuitive and lay out the roadmap exactly the way you want it so that the developer can follow your direction.

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

The scope of work involved developing a web-based AI app, that takes user inputs and leverages the OpenAI API. The web app allows users to input details which, combined with a specialized prompt, are submitted to the OpenAI API.

Additional requirements included a status indicator, which is shown while the AI response is pending. 

Certain disclaimer messages at submission and on the response screen are also needed, among other features. Technical aspects included PHP integration, hosting and compatibility considerations, and collaboration on page design using Gutenberg and Kadence Pro theme. The final deliverable went live on time and came in on budget. And the UX as well as the functionality were beyond expectations.

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

From start to finish I felt like the project was treated as a real priority. The project lead pulled in multiple team members, introducing each with their responsibilities. And all those involved showed focus and professionalism, taking ownership for their parts of the project. Even as I worked with individuals, the whole team remained plugged into the project. This was very helpful given the many questions I asked along the way. And this seems like a very effective way to work, giving each player room to run while still keeping the whole team 'on the field'. In the end I got exactly what was requested, and it was delivered on time and on budget.

What was your primary form of communication with VKAPS IT Solutions Pvt. Ltd.?

Email or Messaging App

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

Their ability to deeply understand and action my requirements was exceptional. And they appeared ready to do what was needed to deliver, right from the start.

Also, their ability to pull in expertise and resources and find answers to new questions is something any successful business has to be able to do.

Are there any areas for improvement or something VKAPS IT Solutions Pvt. Ltd. could have done differently?

I cannot point to anything on their side that warrants improvement. Part of my request included an extremely aggressive delivery time. In doing so, I also decided to forego some documentation that I (as a product lead) would normally require as part of the deliverable. This was my call but the VKAPS team have, now that the product is live, very willingly agreed to provide this additional detail. So, I guess I should say here that permitting us a longer timeline is something that *I could have done differently*.
