Feedback summary: 

After a small rollout, the system has received positive feedback. WeMakeIoT was transparent with their workflow. They communicated bugs they found and new costs estimates proactively and clearly. They were able to scale when needed.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I work for Connexa. I am in Research and Development and currently overseeing our IoT initiative. I am responsible for delegating hardware, firmware, and cloud software development. Connexa as a company got our start in Solar energy, but our main product line is now industrial automation assemblies. From designing and wiring control panels to manufacturing steel mounting structures, our goal is to cut down field labor on install. Our primary industry is oil and gas.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire WeMakeIoT?

We needed a way to remotely monitor the automation systems we manufacture, to give our customers access to their data and for us to be able to troubleshoot more effectively. The hardware design was already completed when we started working with Sheeba and her team so we have been primarily leveraging their expertise in UI/UX development.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed to quickly roll out the visual interface for the already existing hardware/backend service.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We made our choice because of their previous IoT and cloud experience. They had a portfolio of projects including ones that used the same hardware and a number of microservices we were incorporating. Rather than educating a more traditional software team on how to interact with our IoT devices, we were able to get to work immediately as there was already a solid understanding.

Describe the project in detail.

I have to stay vague on the exact scope but it entailed mainly UI development with a little bit of backend API development. My role was to scope the project, create testing standards, and then perform QC on the code turned in by SoftwareAssociates/WeMakeIot. Their team was immensely helpful in the project management/planning portion. They helped us to break the scope apart into smaller tasks and we were able to communicate everything effectively over asana. At no point did I feel confused as to what they were working on because we had complete transparency into their wworkflow with excellent communication. Every time we caught a bug or needed to refactor the scope, they gave us a new quote breaking down the time needed to complete each task so that we could approve it before they continued racking up hours.

What was the team composition?

We have 1 main developer we work closely with from SoftwareAssociates/WeMakeIot. We also have access to project managers and QC engineers as needed. During the early stages of development we had daily meetings with the entire team to make sure everyone was on the same page and development was proceeding as planned.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have rolled out the project to an small test group of customers and have gotten a lot of positive feedback. The application is responsive and updates can be rolled out without interrupting usage. Communication to all of our IoT devices is seamless and the app seems to be scaling without any issues.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Like I mentioned previously, communication is a strong suit. We used asana for individual tasks and the team communicated their progress there multiple times throughout the day. Slack was used for more general questions and communication. We were able to schedule meetings within a business day if necessary. Code is being transferred via gitlab, with the normal workflow being after a new feature is added their developers will submit a merge request so our internal QC can go over everything before merging into the main branches.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We were most impressed by how similar their previous projects were to ours. We spoke with a number of software development companies that were adamant on their capabilities but had little to no experience working with hardware and embedded firmware. Even though SoftwareAssociates/WeMakeIot has not written any of our firmware it was monumental that they understood how all the puzzle pieces fit together. They genuinely care about delivering a functional product not just doing their small portion of the job.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I think the only limitations we ran into were due to Connexa's budget on the project. SoftwareAssociates/WeMakeIot had all the resources available to us but sometimes we were not able to make it fit within our budget

We originally found WeMakeIoT via an online freelance website. They submitted their qualifications package and we realized they had experience with some of the building automation communication protocols, so it was a no-brainer to go with them.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We provided a very high-level scope of work document and since we do not have any developers on staff at Kijora, we provided little information on specifics. WeMakeIoT was able to take that information and develop a detailed work plan, timeline, and budget. I was very impressed with their professionalism and their ability to take what would be considered vague scope and work with our team to figure out exactly what needed to be developed.

What was the team composition?

There were 3 main members that I communicated with on our project (2 developers and 1 PM).

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

Since this is the core platform and user interface to our technology, it is absolutely critical to our business. Without the WeMakeIoT, there would be no Kijora!

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Throughout the project, we touched base at key milestones and we utilized a couple of methods of communication and issue tracking. WeMakeIoT was willing to work with us on using our preferred method of communication which was very beneficial and effective.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We were most impressed with their ability to learn our industry quickly. Some of the building automation protocols and technologies are not easy to understand, but WeMakeIoT had no problems picking it up.

Are there any areas for improvement?

Any area of improvement gets provided as feedback to WeMakeIoT and they take corrective actions immediately.
