Zoftify

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder and CEO of Connactive Ltd.

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

We hired Zoftify to drive the development of our unfinished software.

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

This vendor was recommended to us by our Project Manager, who already had very good experience with Zoftify.

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

We had a first meeting in which we presented our current software and our expectations for our cooperation. Already after a short time we were informed competently about the possibilities and further steps.

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

A project manager was assigned to us as the main contact. During our collaboration he was our only point of contact.

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

• Bugs were fixed very quickly and efficiently.
• The requirements were implemented quickly and in good quality in each case.

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

The communication mainly took place via Slack. What I really appreciated were the quick response times to requests and the quality of the implementation. But what I appreciated even more was the openness of the project manager. He always gave us open and transparent feedback and also showed us alternatives if we could not implement something as desired.

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

Actively putting themself in the customer's shoes and trying to act in the customer's best interest. Also already made experiences (positive as well as negative) were passed on transparently, so that the customer receives an optimal basis for decision-making.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Project Manager and the Product Owner at a company that helps to increase sales for networked FMCG retailers with more than 50 employees based in several countries. My responsibilities are transportation of big data and mobile development.

For what projects/services did your company hire Zoftify?

We hired Zoftify to refine and improve our existing cross-platform business app. We don't have our own specialists of that profile and experience increasing demand in the development of our app so the company decided to hire outsource professionals.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed to add new functionality as well as improve stability and usability of our mobile app. Also we wanted to improve our app's ratings by making it better in every possible way based on our users' reviews.

How did you select this vendor?

I had been looking for a new mobile development team since we started to have difficulties with our previous one. It took me 2 months and several interviews with different teams and team managers to find and select Zoftify as our new outsouce mobile development team. My decision was based on perfect business communication from this team and also on the highest ratings of my colleagues that have previously worked with these guys.

Describe the project in detail.

Once we managed to agree on legal terms we held several discovery meetings, and after that the team presented us with detailed roadmap of future development along with very helpful suggestions about core functionality and stability improvements.

What was the team composition?

Initially we we given two PMs, each one always having been up to date, two developers and one QA engineer. Due to our increasing demands the team easily expanded to six developers and two QAs, the working processes and inter-teams communications were seamlessly incorporated into our workflow.

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

After few releases we and our users noticed great improvements in all the desired areas. We started to get two stars higher grades in reviews, also we were able to gather internal feedback using newly integrated Crashlytis service and much more. New functionality always worked as intended, no problems or major bugs in new releases whatsoever.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Both PMs are very responsive, proactive and friendly, the team works even on day-offs when it's absolutely necessary to meet the strict deadlines and delivers the best results I ever saw. We have no problems organizing any amount of meetings, both regular and ad-hoc, also we communicate in Slack in most effective ways possible.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The levels of professionalism and Client-orientation are unparalleled. Zoftify has become not only our trusted outsouce developers but our good friends and colleagues.

Are there any areas for improvement?

There were some minor delays at the beginning of our interaction but it was mostly due to our own lack of documentation so the team had to discover much of the internal workings of our app by themselves, which they managed to do perfectly and came up with very helpful improvements in app architecture, increases in speed and other optimizations.
