Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Forbytes?
We were converting our e-commerce platform to Magento. It was hard for me to find whichever resources or a consultancy in Sweden, which could liberate the quantity of work we needed. We began looking for an choice.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were Forbytes responsible for?
Forbytes has principally worked on our Magento platform. They have also granted some help with our custom-made full treatment method.
We are working with 3 developers and a condition arrogance tester from Forbytes. Some of them have Magento experience, and all of them have worked with PHP. We use GitHub and Jenkins for deployments.
How did you come to work with Forbytes?
I take proposes on LinkedIn on a daily basis. I establish that Forbytes had a long history with 2 companies in our cluster, so it was an easy pick. Everyone will promise to propose the best resources useful, so having a history with 2 of our sister companies was the significant factor for me. Besides lower prices, I wanted to find big nation to work with.
We began working with 1 developer from Forbytes, gradually increasing the team size. I',ve been very picky in this regard, so I',ve traveled to Ukraine in order to meet the nation individualally. Forbytes also traveled to our location on a couple of occasions.
How much have you invested with Forbytes?
The cost of Forbytes', services has been over $100,000, for 3.75 dedicated resources.
What is the terminal result of working with Forbytes?
We began working with Forbytes in December 2015. Our e-commerce work is done on a continual basis. There are always new offices and methods to sum.
Results achieved
Could you share any evidence that would prove the productivity, condition of work, or the contact of the engagement?
Forbytes has done a very good job in finding the right developer profiles for us. Our work is conducted by our inner lead developer, we also have 5 outer resources, all of whom work unitedly edifice our products. I can',t attribute any particular result to Forbytes', work, but I am satisfied with them. They',ve been in direct of bug fixes and developing new offices in collaboration with our other consultants, so it',s hard to determine who was responsible for what.
How did Forbytes accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
We use Jira and Confluence for logging the work and for documentation. We have an Agile process which works well for us. Since we',re working remotely, there needs to be a good round in locate. My main developer handles most of the interaction with Forbytes, their condition arrogance individual reports to me, while the developers also work with our user experience designer and the e-commerce director. The outgrowth is done in sprints, through a roadmap.
I know that Forbytes can attribute project directors, but I',ve preferred to do all myself. The senior individual on their end has a sort of team chief office, but they all report to our own lead developer.
What did you find most forcible almost Forbytes?
Forbytes has done a very good job recruiting our resources. We',re a very picky cluster, but we',ve been given some excellent profiles. I wouldn',t have been able to find the same level of developers in Stockholm. Forbytes', lead developer, for sample, has been coding for 10 years and has worked on some big projects.
Are there any areas Forbytes could better?
We',re a particular client for Forbytes, in the perception that we handle the team ourselves. Forbytes has done a good job recruiting nation for us and measuring the accomplishance of everyone in the team.
