WTT Solutions

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a co-founder and the acting CEO of an ed-tech startup.

What challenge were you trying to address with WTT Solutions?

Our goal was to develop a custom platform with marketplace insights for college students and prospective students.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We provided the UI/UX design for a responsive web platform and they developed the front- and backend.

Search data is split between customers and providers so customers can find the right providers based on the data they entered. The results then appear based on the data that was entered in the search and hierarchy. Customers and providers can also create and share their own itineraries. 

We also have a custom calendar and a platform for training videos. In addition to implementing a tracking solution to monitor how many videos are being watched, they added a Twilio integration for video communication. 

Finally, they developed integrations for different payment methods on the backend.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with the CEO, a project manager, a business analyst, one backend and two frontend developers, and a QA tester.

How did you come to work with WTT Solutions?

A friend of mine in the digital gaming industry recommended WTT Solutions to me. They stood out from other providers for several reasons: they were timely, professional, and attentive.

They listened to us and were able to tailor the solution to fit our goals. They provided a timeline and detailed budget, which made us feel that we could trust them.

It was clear that their CEO actually had a background in software engineering and a wealth of experience. Unlike other providers, I felt like he could offer deep and thoughtful solutions when needed.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent a little more than $60,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with WTT Solutions in September 2020 and the partnership is ongoing.

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

We’re launching the product in a couple of weeks. We tested a pilot with 16 students and 16 prospective students, and the feedback across the board was extremely positive. Although a few things didn’t work properly, WTT Solutions came up with a few revisions that we’re looking to implement.

How did WTT Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

The project management was great. I met with them every morning, and they went over the status of each item on their to-do list. They give me updates either through Jira or Google Docs.

Occasionally, the language barrier made it difficult to communicate what we wanted, but they eventually understood what we were looking for. If anything, I liked that they were diverse and provided a different perspective.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Unlike other providers we’ve worked with, WTT Solutions paid attention to details. Most of their first iterations were very close to our intended designs. Consequentially, we didn’t have to do a ton of revisions in the QA phase.

I greatly enjoyed working with them. The team is smart, creative, nice, calm, and professional, and they are problem solvers.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I want to be involved in every little detail, but that’s just because we’re a new company and I want to make sure that everything works well. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I’d recommend new clients check in with them daily and provide the UX design and content early on in the process. We were planning to do this, but it took longer than expected to provide visual designs and content. That’s something we could’ve done better on our end.

Please describe your company and your position there.

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

We had wire frames of the product and wanted to start development from the inception. Our goal was to reach an MVP by the end of the summer in 2020

How did you select WTT Solutions and what were the deciding factors?

I interviewed many companies and developers to build the project and had some troubles. Upon meeting Serge at WTT, I knew he was an honest person and would be able to deliver the project.

Serge and team took the project from wire frame to near MVP completion - the software we chose was React and postgresql

Serge was able to navigate all the required goals (database setup, front end web responsiveness etc and he was very flexible and easy to work with.

We started working together in October 2020, and our work is ongoing.

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

I have a feel for how quickly things should progress and what sorts of issues arise in technical projects. Whenever I’ve given them a design, they give me an estimate, and they’ve always met those estimates. They’re always very consistent and punctual.

How did WTT Solutions perform from a project management standpoint?

I get frequent progress updates and they always communicate any issues they have.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their efficiency and quality stand out. They do very good work.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I don’t have any complaints.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

As with any outside firm, have very clear and detailed expectations of what you want. It allows you to distinguish what works best and it lets you reset if things aren’t going to plan.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CEO of a Healthcare Analytics company headquartered in Livonia, Michigan. Our company is a startup that serves the Primary Care Physicians and Practices in the US.

For what projects/services did your company hire WTT Solutions?

We wanted to build a portal that allows our users to access analytics and dashboards through a secure way and our environment is hosted on AWS. We needed expertise to help us embed dashboards into our portal.

The challenge was to be able to bring together the infrastructure for building and deploying the front end and back end that is secure and protected. As with any startups we are limited in resources and needed the help to build and deploy in a very tight timeline.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to deploy the solution faster that allows our users flexibility to be able to access the platform from anywhere. We wanted to open our platform to small to mid-sized practices in order to help practices leverage analytics at an affordable price.

How did you select WTT Solutions?

My team searched online for full stack developers and given the urgency of the project we need somebody we could trust and also know that they can deliver.

We were impressed by Serge’s commitment to quality and Serge spent significant amount of time with us to get a better sense of the requirements and also made recommendations based on our deliverables. We were impressed by the time Serge was willing to commit to better understand the requirements.

WTT Solutions went above and beyond to deliver us the POC. Our biggest concern was around embedding the dashboards and WTT Solutions even delivered the POC with a test dashboard we built.

Describe the project in detail.

Once we select WTT Solutions as a vendor, we met with the delivery team and every one of them were professionals and hungry to deliver on their commitment. The entire WTT Team has been really efficient in providing solutions and delivering them on time and mostly on budget.

WTT Team raised clear expectations around what was due, what was at risk and why and they continue to provide great support and the engagement has been really critical for the success of our project.

What was the team composition?

We were assigned a project manager to support and is the main point of contact. We are able to meet with the entire team when necessary. We were assigned a front end developer and a back end developer.

The PM continues to provide us an update every week with the status, hours spent and where the variances are and the drivers that is affecting the timeline or the estimate.

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

Within 3-4 months we have been able to launch the beta platform for our users and we are planning an official launch in mid January. The feedback from the beta users have been mostly positive and we continue to add enhancements to ensure that our platform is intuitive and easy to navigate.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We receive an update every week from the PM that provides details around the tasks. They remind us if there are open items that they need a response from us. They stay on top of things and we know exactly what the status of each task is every week.

If and when needed, WTT Team is available to jump on a call to address any issues or concerns.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We were really impressed by the knowledge of Serge and his team, their focus on quality of delivery. They are a true partner and they want us to succeed and I believe this is what separates them from the other vendors we reviewed.

They are honest and communicate effectively and just like all partnerships they are able to provide honest feedback and recommendations when they see risks in something we want to deploy. They are prompt and very professional.

Are there any areas for improvement?

can provide an update when we see that there are areas of improvement. I do not see one right now.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a Engineering manager at a Marketing agency.

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

I needed 3 websites built. They are all the same website, but I needed the website built in Angular, Vue and React. WTT solutions was able to quickly and gracefully take on this task for me.

How did you select WTT Solutions and what were the deciding factors?

WTT Solutions stood out immediately because they have excellent reviews and track record and the talent to tackle all three of my projects. I did not have to hire multiple contractors to take on the task.

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

I supplied WTT solutions with static HTML/CSS/JS markup and they were able to build the websites for me from that markup.

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

I mainly worked with 1 person, his name is Serhii and it was a pleasure to work with him.

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

These are demo sites, so there are no metrics to measure at the moment.

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

We communicated through upwork and github. Serhii was always available to answer scoping questions or anything else.

The quality and timeliness of the work were most impressive.

Not that I can think of.

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

They have high attention to detail and provide quick replies.

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

They provided two API developers.

In the first 2 months, the app started to gain shape, and at the end of each month, we've got all the deliveries in place, step by step.

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

The project management was great, compared with a negative experience with other companies so far. We've used Asana, Miro, and Skype.

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

They are an honest team, highly skilled, and really care about given feedback without over-reacting. They are calm and patient.

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

We are happy with their services, so far, everything is good.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a cofounder in a new podcast startup. I have a (backend) engineering background. We're right now a 2 person startup, so we needed help with building out our website.

For what projects/services did your company hire WTT Solutions?

We hired WTT to build the frontend website of our startup's prototype.

What were your goals for this project?

To get a working, pixel perfect version of the frontend of a website we designed. We had a design, a backend, and a very specific vision for the technical stack, and asked the team to work with all of those constraints and connections in mind.

How did you select this vendor?

We interviewed about 8 potential candidates we shortlisted on upwork after reviewing a few dozen. We asked mostly very technical questions (such as "how would you handle server side state", "how do you organize components in code") and a few organizational/project management questions.

Serge was among the 2 or 3 most technically knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and from there we decided based on price point.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

Our goals were to use a very specific tech stack (react/redux, typescript), to follow an exact Figma design, to integrate with a couple of backend APIs (GraphQL and AWS Amplify for logins), and to handle some special user state and searching capabilities. We also wanted testing (with Jest) and documentation.

What was the team composition?

We worked with Serge as a sort of coordinator/tech lead, and Alexey as the main developer.

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

The project was successful in that it was finished mostly on time and up to our (admittedly high) technical standards. It's going to enable us to test out our startup idea which we're very excited about.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

Project management was done with JIRA by Serge. The planning and estimation were reasonable, and we were very happy with the daily standup notes of what happened the day before and what was to happen the next day.

We also had weekly checkins in video chat with Serge, Alexey, my cofounder and I to discuss any more complex points. There were occasional slight language understanding issues, but nothing that couldn't be cleared up with a bit of rephrasing, so overall we were happy.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was impressed with the company's depth of technical knowledge and their organization in communicating everything from contracts and price estimates to READMEs to daily standups.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We noticed numerous QA issues that could have been prevented if the team had a better internal review process. Alexey was excellent in quickly fixing issues we found, but we did have to find most of the issues ourselves.
