Yalantis

BACKGROUND

Please briefly describe what your company does and the role that you play there?

I am the executive director at the Officer Down Memorial Page, Inc. We use our company’s website to remember recently fallen law enforcement heroes.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

Can you tell me about the scope of the iOS and Android development, what were the key features you were looking for Yalantis to provide?

The scope of this project was to make a mobile app version of our website, which provides information on more than 22,000 law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty. Key features included push notifications, in-app purchases, location services, such as showing nearby deaths based on where the user is located, real-time graphs, and charts. We also wanted the capability to search and display memorials on all 22,000-plus officers.

SOLUTION

Can you give us a sense of the size of the project in dollar terms or personnel work hours?

Our total budget for both versions – Android and iOS – of the app was $35,000. Yalantis came in just under budget on the initial release.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

When working with them, was there anything unique or special about them compared to other companies with which you may have worked?

Our primary reason with working with Yalantis was their performance history. They weren't the cheapest we evaluated, but their pricing was extremely competitive with just about everyone we interviewed. However, we felt Yalantis had a far more superior portfolio than any of the other companies we looked at.

Looking back on the project, is there any area that they could improve upon or that you would do differently?

Not on their end. Their pace of development was faster than we anticipated, so we often fell behind on our side making changes to our API [application programming interface].

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company. What is your role and responsibilities?

I’m the CEO of Fract. We do predictive analytics and spatial analysis.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What was your goal for working with Yalantis?

I am a senior iOS developer, as is my co-founder. Our challenge was to find other iOS developers that could deliver the quality of work that we are accustomed to.

SOLUTION

Please describe the scope of their work.

We brought on Yalantis to help support our iOS development.

What was your process for selecting Yalantis with which to work?

My co-founder had a previous relationship with Yalantis.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Do you have any statistics, metrics, or general feedback from the project?

We keep using Yalantis because they keep delivering great stuff for us. Every morning we see an email with details on what they worked on that day, and what they plan to work on the next day. It’s super easy, and we don’t have to have a ton of scheduled meetings.

Is there anything unique about them that really makes them stand out, compared to other companies?

Out of all the development teams we’ve tried, Yalantis has an ability to say no, which is huge. Their communication is great. They’re very clear and precise in their written communications. They have the ability to be self-steering, and they have problem solving skills. It’s almost like they’re here.

Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or something that you might do differently?

I keep waiting for something bad to happen, and it just doesn’t. We asked one of their developers to refactor his code, and the guy was like magic. They beat me for iOS development, and I think I’m pretty good. Although the eight-hour time difference can be a challenge, they handle it very well. Maybe if they got someone in town here, it might help them for sales’ purposes.

What advice would you give a future client of theirs?

Don’t do fixed bid. We have found hourly works amazing because it changes too quickly. Know your story, break it down, and tell them exactly what you need.

BACKGROUND

Please give a brief description of your company and the role that you play there?

I am the co-founder of an online publication.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What was the business challenge that you were trying to address when you approached Yalantis?

I needed to create a very high-quality mobile app and wanted a team that was willing to work with me and the very specific criteria I had in mind.

SOLUTION

Can you talk about the scope of the project, such as what were the exact services or methodologies Yalantis provided or implemented?

The entire app was completed after about eight or so iterations. Because we were partnering remotely, after each iteration, I provided a detailed write-up and screen shots of areas that I wanted changed or modified. Yalantis made the changes very effectively.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

When working with them, was there anything unique or special about them compared to other companies with which you may have worked?

I think Yalantis provides a great service for their cost, especially relative to other app companies that provide a similar level of development.

Is there anything that you feel they could improve upon or have them do differently?

At times, my development team required a little bit more direction to get to the final product I was looking for. This is something I did not mind because I had a very specific vision of how I thought things should be.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Yalantis was contracted as a services organization to orignally support with iOS(swift), & Android  (Kotlin) development along with QA and Project Management support for a production application for EVSE support/EV Charging. They helped maintain the network and grow the feature set to make one of the most feature rich EVSE Network Applications. After continued growth to over 90 members on the Yalantis team alone we were working towards a groundbreaking network that would make the need for growth of the network itself unecessary for many years to come.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The application release history ending in July 2024 shows marked progress from inception. This alone shows now only progress on the applicaiton but any back office support that would be required to make use of these features and provide analytics on them.

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

Managing up by default is the style that Yalantis implements to such a degree on the rare occasion - only 2 I can think of over 3.5 years - the team was going to deliver past a promise, weeks ahead of time the timelines were adjusted so the organization could shift exepctations and manage our customer expectations fluidly. I would say their ability to understand product and deliver often before an ask was made was by far one of my favorite parts of working with Yalantis.

What was your primary form of communication with Yalantis?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Flexibility. Yalantis through deep discussion and consultation opened up a Rust department within their organization exclusivly ( at least in the beginning ) to support the next itteration of application development to ensure future proofing, reliabilty and security. Without that flxibilty we would have had to inhouse grow this team to scale to it's needs. At one point about 20 Rust engineers were working cohesively. Yalantis was driven by our challenges to help us derive an approach that in itself was patentable. This took not only strong minds but an organization willing to collaborate at that level and the ability to find those minds. "Impressive" doesn't cover it.

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

At this point I'm struggling to find a fault. Given the chance I will engage Yalantis again in the future with no hesitation.

No, I don't think so.

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

Yalantis' management team was diligent and agile in their handling of the project. The first version was delivered on time with a high degree of accuracy to the product requirements and scope. Senior management especially was responsive and helpful in making sure everything worked smoothly and all our concerns were addressed.

What was your primary form of communication with Yalantis?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

We work in an incredibly niche B2B space, with complex business requirements not encountered in many other spaces. Yalantis’ ability to quickly learn about the space and build software specific to the industry was extremely impressive. Additionally, their versatility in accommodating a wide array of needs and adapting to our working styles was remarkably good.

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

Accurate estimations and efficient use of hours following the initial build could have been better at times. This wasn't experienced from all team members though and was eventually fixed for the most part.

For us, Yalantis Creative is building the application's front end. All we wanted them to do was develop the front end as we already had the back end built. As a result, we gave them the complete scope and supporting materials at first, but we also had some brainstorming meetings with their staff. Although the majority of their work is development-related, they have a designer on staff whose advice has occasionally proven very beneficial.

We're employing native technologies to develop this app independently for iOS and Android. We also use JavaScript, Apache, MySQL, and AWS as part of our technology stack. People can use this software to handle their finances and credit, but it will mostly aid them with their privacy.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The capacity of Yalantis' Creative to construct what we need them to produce in a timely manner and verify that it functions properly is how we gauge the success of our project. We've set several deadlines and objectives for our project, and they consistently meet them. Along the road, we've also expanded the capabilities of our app, and they've always functioned flawlessly around those modifications. They're doing a fantastic job all around.

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

Yalantis has excellent project management. Their project manager is really proactive and diligent. They take the initiative and provide ideas, so it's strange that I have to remind them of tasks. Furthermore, Yalantis has contributed to the development of our project management's upcoming version.

Considering that our startup operates in a volatile environment, they've done a fantastic job managing the relationship, which has greatly impressed me. Confluence, Jira, and other tools are used by us for teamwork. Weekly planning meetings, daily stand-up meetings, and Slack are how we communicate. We also undertake code reviews, in which all participants examine and comprehend the code.

What was your primary form of communication with Yalantis?

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

What makes Yalantis Creative strong is that it is an on-shore development business. Because of the extreme technicality of what they're creating, extremely seamless native communication is necessary, and they've met that demand while charging a fair fee for their services.

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

No.
