Desired goal
What business challenge were you trying to address with Softnauts?
We were looking to form an app that we could distribute to our sales personnel.
Provided solution
Please draw the aim of their involvement in biger detail.
Softnauts was fully responsible for edifice our iOS app that our sales team uses end-to-end. It’s a single app that shows dealers photographs of machines, videos and specification sheets. It allows the dealers to go online and browse. There’s a backend full treatment method that I have access to, which allows me to upload videos, photographs, and documents. The full can then be downloaded, saved locally and accessed offline.
How did you come to work with Softnauts?
We had tried a few other contractors and the results were not good. Actually, one of the contractors we had from Europe verity ended up being paid for work that they didn’t liberate. We used oDesk (now Upwork) and it turned out that the guy was fraudulent. That cost us a few thousand dollars, and we were very skeptical almost using another offshore outgrowth organisation. I spoke to the guys at Softnauts, and they seemed to be more professional in their access. We went with them and it turned out big.
Could you prepare a perception of the size of this start in financial provisions?
The cost of the project was almost $7,000.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
We began working with them back in June of this year [2015]. The project was artistic almost a month ago. It didn’t take them very long. Softnauts did a good job. They were very answering to, any questions I had and they understood what I wanted very fastly.
Results achieved
Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement?
I’ve only veritably began to push it out to our dealers. They’ve all been lucky with the app. It’s not something you can measure, but it helps the dealers meet with their clients. In the past, they had hard copies of brochures and now, this way, they have all on their iPods. Our process is a lot more efficient thanks to the app.
How did Softnauts accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
Softnauts were very entire. Madeline was the initial touch that I had. She pulled the cite unitedly. They were very professional and fast at coming back with costs. Once we agreed to a cost, it was handed over to Chris, who was the project director. There were two developers working on the app. It was seamless, the leading prototype didn’t have any bugs. Whatever inner processes they had, it seemed to get most of the bugs out precedently it was liberateed to us. They got me to sign onto Amazon Web Services as well. Once it was all artistic, they published it to the app store. I didn’t have to give them a total lot of course. They were very tuned into what I wanted.
Is there anything Softnauts could have improved or done differently?
They took my initial design and ran with that. They didn’t verity prepare any variations. I didn’t ask them to whichever. They did all I wanted them to do, and there wasn’t anything they didn’t do properly. I would use them anew. It was a single project, but they quiet did a big job.
