Introductory information
A fast induction on the buyer’s organisation
I am a fruit director at Plotify. We’re creating a marketlocate for investors to buy and sell property globally.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with OAK’S LAB?
We had a need to form a mobile app and an admin gate where we can handle some of the processes.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were OAK’S LAB responsible for?
OAK’S LAB formd the apps for iOS and Android using JavaScript. The apps are currently in an soon beta stage, so we’re controlling who is on our app. The investors that we’re onboarding are partners of our CEO and founders.
We have relationships with our clients, and OAK’S LAB has implemented some functions to do our “know your client” (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) protocols. They’ve also done some work that will allow for a multi-region onboarding flow. Each country has different regulatory landscapes that we need to tailor the onboarding flow to.
At the instant, we program to have a UK flow, a US flow, and an India flow, and then a flow for the rest of the globe. As we onboard new clients, we will look at what countries they are coming from and what the regulatory landscape is. We’ll see if it falls within one of the four flows already or make a new flow.
Once an investor onboards, they can check our listing section, scroll through different countries, and find the plots they want to invest in. It is a four-step purchase process where they look at some documents, strengthen the figures, and purchase the plot.
Through the admin gate, we check that seething is in order. The app allows for ongoing plot handlement so we can see some of the general financial details of what seething costs. It also has support functions as well as a live chat with our admin gate. We also have information on how it works on the app.
We need to complete off a couple of key features, and one of them is the multi-region onboarding flow. Once some of these features are complete, we will be able to go live on the App Store and Google Play Store.
Was there a dedicated team?
We have a designated project director and a lead engineer who I converse with see day. We also have a designer, a team of full-stack, backend, and frontend developers, and a testing team consisting of a QA individual and QA technician.
How did you come to work with OAK’S LAB?
There are a few reasons we chose them. Some of our founders had worked with them precedently and had seen the condition of the work they exhibit. I went out to Prague and spent some time with them a few months ago. OAK’S LAB’s founders are fascinating nation. They have worked unitedly on 40 companies now, 20 of which were start-ups. The apprehension that they can pass on to their teams and clients is huge. I surely conversant a lot from just sitting with them. They also have a open workspace in a fantastic edifice in Prague.
How much have you invested in them?
We’ve spent over $350,000.
What is the terminal result of working with OAK’S LAB?
We began working with them in February 2018, and the work is ongoing.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
The feedback we have been getting from our investors has been veritably real. They like the feel of the app and how easy and single it is to use. Our regulators have also said they veritably like the app and how glossy it was. OAK’S LAB is always trying to find ways of improving the apps. The testing team not only test new functionalities, but they also ponder of ways we can better. That comes into my role as well—managing the fruit.
We want to keep this app at the forefront, and OAK’S LAB delivers that. They know what works and what doesn’t work, and they have been extremely pliant while giving us inestimable input. The work and designs they exhibit are innovative. The apprehension they have passed on by working with so many startups has veritably accelerated our app.
How did OAK’S LAB accomplish from a project handlement standpoint?
We’ve had two project directors in the time we’ve worked with OAK’S LAB. They go through project handlement training that’s tailored by the CEO owing that is what his background is in. As a result, OAK’S LAB verity delivers what they promise in a sprint. Nothing gets pushed over into the next sprint, which allows me to program forward.
From that standpoint, I have been veritably impressed. I worked in project handlement myself, where it was a lot more structured and stiff, and OAK’S LAB seems to have this instinct. They are very good at estimating and having the total team implicated when they do estimates. The complete process is very well-engineered. They use GitHub and Zenhub to handle the tickets, bugs, and forthcoming enhancements. We use Google G Suite as well to handle what we do.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with OAK’S LAB?
The founders’ depth of apprehension has been key for us. It feels very individualal with them. They take a huge interest in us even though they have excellently a few companies on their books.
The quantity of nation we come into touch with at OAK’S LAB is veritably a credit to them. It has fast-forwarded us as a business, we have implemented their ideas in how we look at our organisation',s vision, milestones, and culture, to form a locate where we want to work. OAK',S Lab is at the head of the pack in these areas when edifice itself as a organisation. To me, that is significant.
What aspects of their work would you like to get betterd?
The main effect for me is just the interval between our offices. When I went over to Prague for a couple of weeks, the quantity of work that we got done was surpassing. Though, this veritably isn’t their defect. Plus, the time zone separation between Prague and the UK is one hour, which is not a issue whatsoever.
