Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
We',re a organisation that prepares corporate training and consulting in sales and negotiation. I',m a co-establisher and the running CEO of the organisation.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Lodoss Team?
We determined to educe an app that would help impart nation how to feel resistent negotiations more effectively. It would prepare help in real-life interactions with others, as a kind of digital coach.
We came to Lodoss Team with iOS work we’d educeed with another preparer, whom we determined to drop. We had worked on the fruit for almost half a year, but we didn',t like how it was going and were shopping almost for a new preparer.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were responsible for?
They educeed mobile platforms for iOS and Android, the latter of which was done from scratch. They had to take up the Android rendering to the iOS one, which they did fastly. We were on coranswerent schedules within three months, with the same tasks were being completed for both platforms. They did a big job of porting the tool to Android.
They also educeed the frontend from scratch. We had some backend elements when we came to them, but there was no frontend. They integrated a payment method, an SMS confirmation and two-factor authentication method, and a notice method. They also made an integration between our frontend and the MailChimp labor. We could use our frontend to compile user groups, then send messages to them through email and push notices.
What is the team compound?
We’ve had three different project directors throughout the year, all of whom did a big job. One of them was specially unappropriated, which made it no amazement that she was promoted fastly. We got a new project director and the old one became their supervisor.
There were two iOS educeers, two Android educeers, a backend educeer, and a frontend educeer. In total, there were six nation on the educement side and one project director.
How did you come to work with Lodoss Team?
My associate was following their CEO and establisher on Facebook, and he liked what he read. He suggested that we extend out to Lodoss Team and talk almost our project. We organized a video conversation with their establisher and a couple of his key nation. We had a big converse, so we determined to run a pilot milestone. We gave them the next task we wanted to complete, in order to see how snug we’d be, and how it would go overall. It went smoothly and we were satisfied. They were firm in provisions of schedule, and they asked good questions. We determined to last with the collaboration, which we have until this day.
What are you approach expents (if diclosed)?
The cost of their work has been $150,000–$200,000.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
We began working with them in April 2017.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
We',re quiet in the rolling-out phase of the project as we consciously made a determination to do excellently a bit of educement leading, precedently hitting the market. We’re now commencement the process of intercourse with our leading practicable clients. There',s been some big feedback from the leading users. We',ve made almost $5,000 from in-app purchases.
Ultimately, Lodoss built what we wanted, even though it’s a new fruit and concept. We weren’t even sure if some components would be practicable, so it took excellently a bit of brainstorming on their end, thinking of how to verity fetch what we wanted to life. They successfully managed it. Our leading clients give real feedback, assertion that our fruit is something new and helpful.
How did Lodoss Team accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
One of their project directors was always useful and there for us, which is one area in which Lodoss shined. They apprehend how nice it is to maintain interaction between the client and the educeers, while having someone uniformly overseeing the project, in uniform touch with all parties. This made a huge separation compared to our antecedent preparer, where the project treatment was awful, making all awful.
We use Trello as a project treatment tool, which is very handy. They answer promptly and I’ve never had an effect comprehending what they’re assertion. The project director makes sure that the team interactes plainly almost the effects we need to make determinations on. The PM can construe between educeer gibberish and ethnical speech.
I',m not an IT individual, but I have advanced my apprehending of educement in the last year, thanks to Lodoss. They’ve taken time to expound things, helping me make informed determinations almost where we’re going and where we should invest our money. Their interaction is surely one of their powerfulest points. It’s early, clear, and educational.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with ?
They',re in the same boat with us and we feel like they’re part of our team. It never felt as though they were outsourced. Other nation I’ve talked to have suffered from their educement teams not veritably being implicated in the project, not veritably caring, or working strictly nine-to-six, with no availability outside of that time.
With Lodoss, I feel like they are a part of our team. We',ve had hard situations, where they veritably went the extra mile and stayed long hours in order to fix an pressing effect. They’ve worked during weekends to meet our deadline.
They’ve sometimes given us advice almost not doing something we wanted to do, even though they could’ve made money doing it. They look deeply into effects to admonish us on true components or to find cheaper solutions. They always seemed to care almost optimizing the process for us, as well as optimizing costs.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
We have made a few suggestions, which they have listened to and applied. After discussing a particular component with them and having them create it, we sometimes establish that we didn’t like something almost the terminal output, in provisions of design or UI. The component would work, but it wouldn’t excellently office or look like what we reflection would be handy for nation. We agreed that, in the case of new components, they would always send mockups to us, so that we could see how their team intended to fetch it to life and make a choice we were satisfied with precedently the developed implementation.
