WEB4PRO team is good at understanding and carrying out these points with a client in mind.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a project manager for Maven Agency. We do IT development work for local businesses in South Africa.

What challenge were you trying to address with WEB4PRO?

We were working with a large client that required Magento programming for a stocktaking solution.

What was the scope of their involvement?

WEB4PRO was our development partner for developing the Magento platform, building new features to meet the client’s requirements. It lets customers purchase items online that aren’t held in a store. Once the item moves from a warehouse to the store, the user can then go and pick it up.

We’ve used Scrum methodology to develop the platform. WEB4PRO worked with different folks throughout the project, from planning to ticket implementation to product refinement. They handled themselves professionally in each meeting, making me proud to represent them.

What is the team composition?

We work with three developers and one manager. 

How did you come to work with WEB4PRO?

Our company has collaborated with WEB4PRO on multiple projects in the past. This was my first time working with their team, however.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $25,000 and $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in February 2019 and is ongoing.

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

Every sprint has gone well with WEB4PRO. The team delivers a high level of quality, and we know exactly what to expect from each session. WEB4PRO can conduct their own sprint reviews, which our client has been very happy about. The client has actually called back the WEB4PRO team to work on outside-of-scope tasks related to their market.

We’ve now entered a user-assisted testing phase, and WEB4PRO is working with us on that side of things. We have every intention of working with them again should their development skills fit with future projects’ needs.

How did WEB4PRO perform from a project management standpoint?

I’m very happy with WEB4PRO’s project management. They pay attention to detail in order to add value. They followed the full story in our planning process, but they also understood the refinement stage, provided valuable feedback. The team leads daily standups that make me comfortable. They give progress updates and identify issues or blockers that we can help resolve. WEB4PRO’s management throughout the project has made my life a lot easier.

What did you find most impressive about them?

WEB4PRO delivers what they intend to on each sprint.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, nothing negative stands out to me.

Any advice for potential customers?

One of the biggest concerns about working with an overseas team is a language barrier. However, WEB4PRO is proficient in English. Not all of the developers speak it, but their point of contact communicates fluently and understands enough about Magento to translate our requests. All in all, WEB4PRO delivers high-quality work that is well work the money. It’s not as daunting to work with them as you might think.

Please describe your company and your position there.

Responsible, dedicated and seemed always being on a line. Integrated well with our team.

They’re committed to our projects and are always by our side for major deadlines.

Recently, we went through a security audit and only had minor returns. The quality of their work was reportedly great.
