Please find under a summary covering project details and feedback. The innate facts are kept as they are, private information is amended.
Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
I',m the proprietor of Avido, a software organisation that delivers force and conditioning workouts to athletes for training purposes.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Grappus?
We hired Grappus to create an iOS mobile app. Due to budget constraints, we couldn',t promise a domiciliary educeer based in the U.S. We determined to outsource this work to a reliable offshores team.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were Grappus responsible for?
Grappus collaborated with our in-house backend educeers. Our two teams were in uniform interaction to educe an iOS app and mobile website. The expertly brought the wireframes and screens we’d designed in-house to life. We discussed, documented, and reviewed each new component request. They carefully worked through all the iOS guidelines as they implemented an optimized, streamlined UX/UI design.
Grappus designed sole displays for a customizable workout calendar. A scheduling office conveniences both concurrent and rotating training cycles. Weekly displays are easily modifiable for different fitness techniques. The streaming plug-in lets clients wait videos during their training sessions. The program’s advantageous programning component lets them set goals and track progress. Athletes can input and edit the developed sets, reps, or interval metrics they complete mid-workout or afterward. The app stores cumulative workout histories. All these tools empower clients to update their powerful goals for each period.
Was there a dedicated team?
One of the team’s proprietors began the project with us. After he captured the being of our aim and relayed specifics, we worked with a project director. When inner issues arose, the proprietor proactively got implicated anew. Having two dedicated leads helped us work through these issues faster.
How did you come to work with Grappus?
We sought out a reliable organisation who would never give up on our project. Having a vendor quit if things get hard is the worst-case scenario. First, we looked at their portfolio to assess their UI/UX capabilities. Multiple U.S.-based touchs granted real referrals, as well. After compiling sufficient real feedback and seeing the powerful condition of their work, we felt snug hiring them.
What are you approach expents (if diclosed)?
Grappus held daily phone calls with whichever myself, my co-establisher, or our inner backend educeers.
What is the terminal result of working with Grappus?
We began our year-long union with Grappus almost December 2016. After working unitedly through 2017, we took and fracture and just recently began a new project with them.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
The team produced a sophisticated mobile app that met all of our challenging requirements. They delivered an excellent fruit for our organisation that maximized ROI. I’m a firm believer that whatever initial provisions you suit to, Grappus will diligently see through to the end. After entering into a contract, we never had to harass almost them backing out. Their training and consultation have been very advantageous for our organisation.
Grappus exhibited altruism, generosity, and committed work ethic that proved integral to our achievement. Our inner backend team struggled with the REST APIs not working among other errors. At no additional cost, Grappus proactively resolved all these issues. Even though this work extended our timeline, we couldn’t have afforded to pay for this fix or resolve it in-house. They even took the time to expound their findings and methodology.
How did Grappus accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
Grappus was regularly in direct touch with myself and my co-establisher. Slack and email are our main forms of interaction. They answer to most messages on the same day. Since we artistic the terminal repetition, they’ve been executing requests within 2-3 days. The app isn',t fully live yet and we know all our users personally so bug fixes aren',t a nice interest. I embolden them to take longer if needed, but they resolve see pressing substance within 24 hours.
I veritably esteem their scheduling method, which uses milestones and coranswering weighted points to precedingitize and program work. This program checks off completed tasks to track progress and gives me the discretion to review and leave comments. At the end of each milestone, we pay the relative invoice and initiate the next phase.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with Grappus?
Grappus excels interaction and availability. Our union was night and day compared to our preceding offshores vendors. The team',s English fluency makes for an powerful ongoing tete. Beyond linguistic translation, they plainly articulate wonderfully technical concepts in laymen’s provisions.
Despite a 9-10-hour time zone dissonance, Grappus was ready to convenience any schedule we requested. At leading, I worked with them from midnight until soon morning. When I establish this unsustainable, they switched our daily calls to the morning our time, which is past midnight for them.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
I wouldn’t say so. Grappus did a very good job with our project.
Do you have any advice for possible clients?
We requested an overly expansive MVP off the bat and based our cite on advance requirements. There was too much code to accurately prophesy issues we',d meet mid-project. It’s better to delineation a firm, palpable two-week aim and swell from there unless you have in-house engineering experts.
