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

Communication was timely throughout, and diligent project management kept everything running smoothly, on schedule, and within budget. We had weekly live sync meetings, and the team was quick to respond on Slack and email for all interstitial correspondence. The team was a pleasure to work with — highly professional, organized, and consistently responsive.

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

The thorough discovery phase and the team’s thoughtfulness in anticipating how the product might evolve over time worked especially well. They wrote this phase into their proposal—which no other team I interviewed considered—and it proved to both enhance the final product and become the backbone of our work together.

I really appreciated suggestions for improvements or alternative approaches when the team saw opportunities for better performance or usability. It's clear they've understood my project goals, including building for future adaptability, and they've structured the database and backend accordingly in a very user-friendly way.

Each team member demonstrated strong expertise in their respective areas, and I felt confident in the project's execution.

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

For future projects, I suggested intentionally holding space for an exploratory phase once the full engineering team is on board to workshop where the project pushes new capabilities or technologies. Midway through, we hit some challenges translating product vision into the existing technical structure — which led to change orders and moments of frustration. The team, particularly the project manager, handled those situations very well, but a dedicated technical exploration for trial-and-error early on could help prevent roadblocks and unlock even more innovative outcomes.

Volpis was hired as outsourced developers team for one of our mobile apps development.

SOLUTION

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

After meeting with management and making sure they are capable of solving complicated tasks. One of the main factors was honesty of management and deep analysis of our technical task by the CTO.

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

We provided design and detailed technical task at the beginning, which has been modified several times over the development process. The concept of the app was changed multiple times during the development. The technologies used were nodeJS for backend, Kotlin for android app and Swift for IOS app.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Over the course of the project the team size was variable, but we always tried to maintain approximately 4 full-time developers to cover backend, Android and iOS frontends and a tester.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

I was pleasantly surprised of their CTO communication skills and ability to understand and listen to the client (in this case - me, the product owner) by both their management and backend developers. Since I am experienced backend developer myself - my ideas was heard, properly discussed and implemented. I would describe the ability to communicate about technical questions as the most positive in the company.

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

The only improvement which I would recommend to do is gaining global experience in backend development by hiring senior backend developer to the core team for supervision and improvements.

I am the Head of Product for a SaaS connected vehicle and fleet management platform.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Volpis, and what were your goals?

We engaged Volpis to design and build a companion mobile application for our SaaS platform. We had built an initial version of the mobile app but want to move this onto a native code base and improve overall stability and user experience.

SOLUTION

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

We conducted an online search across multiple global regions and shortlisted 3 different mobile development companies in 3 different global location. We then conducted meetings and initial workshops with each company, review their proposals and ultimately selected Volpis as our preferred partner.

We completed initial scoping and design workshops with the Volpis team before detailing the initial requirements for the project. These included a complete UI design of our mobile app and UX flow. Once the scope of work was defined, the Volpis team built Android and iOS versions of our app as per our requirements. Following internal testing the app builds were provided to us for acceptance testing. Once the app builds were finalised, Volpis worked with us to create all collateral for publishing the apps to the Apple and Google Play stores and managed the app publishing process, including supporting us through Apple Store approval. Since completed the initial builds of the app, we have continued to work with Volpis over the last 3 year, to add new features and functionality into the mobile app, along with developing a second app.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We were assigned a Project Manager, who coordinated the UI/UX designer and subsequently the mobile app development team comprising of x2 Android and x2 iOS developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Within 3 months of engaging Volpis we had published the first version of our mobile application and used this to assist the launch of our product into new verticals and territories. We have subsequently add many new features and capabilities to the mobile application and it has become a key USP for our broader SaaS platform offering.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Volpis is open, transparent, friendly, and passionate. We have worked with two PM's during our time with Volpis and both have been great to work with. The core tools used are Jira for managing development pipeline.

Describe the project in detail.

I provided a product specification with an overview of the product we were building, as well as some of the pain points that we are solving for.

Once we understood the high-level objective, we were able to jump into wire frames and collaborate through Figma. I will provide comments and at times my own design tweaks, and we would iterate based on that.

What was the team composition?

1 designer, 1 project manager, 1 manager

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We handed this design off to a front end developer who was able to take the wire frames and customize an ecommerce to match
