XOOR

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

XOOR is affordable, fast, and very easy to work with. We have minimal back and forth because they always understand our requirements. 

They make projects very simple for me. I don't even have to involve my product manager. Once I send them screenshots and describe the idea, they take it and run with the project. 

As a result of their work, we have many new features we wouldn't have otherwise. One of them has gained us a few customers. They also created a plugin that connects to our existing product. We really should have built that functionality earlier, but we just hadn't had time. XOOR had the capacity to build it very fast. 

How did XOOR perform from a project management standpoint?

XOOR is very responsive. They answer emails and fix bugs very quickly. I'm very pleased with their project management. We only use email to communicate. Every time I ask them to send an estimate for the price, it's always accurate based on the number of hours they worked. 

They never go over the budget, and the documentation and costs are fair. If they ever need to increase the price, they let me know ahead of time and ask for my approval, which I appreciate. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

XOOR gives me insight I didn't even realize I needed. When I need an answer, they’ll conduct an hour or two of research and come back with an informed recommendation that’s the right thing to do. This aspect of our collaboration has made our work together much easier. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, not really. I just hope they add more developers so we can grow together. They've done such great work that I am honestly planning on hiring them full time at some point.

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

We're exceeding our expected deadline. It's a collaborative effort and we have a very good working relationship with them. Their CEO knows how to manage his team effectively and goes above and beyond to make sure they meet all of our needs. Also, they've provided valuable recommendations and guidance on what technologies we should explore in the future.

How did XOOR perform from a project management standpoint?

They're very responsive and have exceptional communication skills. Their entire team is fluent in English, so we haven’t had any issues. They have a ticketing system, and we also use Slack to keep in touch.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They're very committed to our project and make sure we always have the resources we need. (When someone goes on vacation, they always provide another team member based on our needs.) They've made our transition to a new development team very smooth.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. They have an incredible team. We had a lot of challenges with our previous vendor, but XOOR has been perfect.

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

The code has come back very clean. There haven’t been any major bugs or hurdles. Their work and animations are very close to the design we delivered to them. We have happy clients. We haven’t had any hiccups or compromises along the way. It’s been pretty straightforward with what was agreed upon in the initial contract.

How did XOOR perform from a project management standpoint?

We share a Slack channel which allows for ongoing communication. Whenever we work with them on a project, a developer and a project manager make sure deadlines are met, the assets are gathered, and communication is flowing. Their communication is excellent and they’re very responsive.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m most impressed with their responsiveness. They’re willing to scope out projects and do upfront work to see if it’s a good fit to work on projects that might come their way.

One of the nice things is that you don’t have to give them a lot of notes once you have handed them a design. They are good at getting it right. Having built a lot of platforms, it can be a frustration that designers run into, but with XOOR, we don’t need to give them too much feedback.

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

We're happy with all of the high-quality work they've done for us thus far. We've received nothing but positive feedback both from our internal team and clients alike. All the projects they've worked on have been very successful.

How did XOOR perform from a project management standpoint?

Despite the fact that he just had a baby, Maurcio has continued to be very responsive throughout the engagement. He and his team are great to work to with all around. They make themselves available to us when we need them regardless of the time difference, and we communicate mostly through Slack and Jira.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They're very accessible—it doesn't even feel like they're all the way in Argentina. We also find their team to be quite nice and approachable overall.
