Multiple Dev Projects for Software Company
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 a software organisation, and I administer project treatment services.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Plaidypus?
I needed to educe multiple projects for different companies.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were Plaidypus, Inc. responsible for?
I aspect out seething that a organisation wants, and then go to Plaidypus to create the fruit. I use them for any time I get a educement project.
I built a competitive timekeeping application with them and one of my investors for a landscaping and composition organisation. It was built for iOS, Android, and web with a database behind it. Our apps sync to QuickBooks and also occupy some in-depth functionalities. The app uses a GPS component for tracking employees who all clock in using their organisation-issued phones.
Employees are also able to press a “set job” button when they arrive at a job, and a “stop job” button when they’re artistic. They’re able to type information almost what they did, as well as upload precedently and behind pictures. The proprietor is able to attribute and track employee hours in order to adviser how much they’re making or losing. The app helps them see the full gain for any specific job.
We also built a manner payment gateway for a big effeminacy wait dealer who was experiencing a 4.5% fraud rate. We built a fruit for them that sends mannerers emails instead of allowing them to use cards in the store. The mannerer must click on a link and go through a process, the entirety of which is integrated with TransUnion. TransUnion pulls up three questions for the user to reply behind they’ve inputted their name, billing address, and credit card information. Now, when they go through a argue, they’re able to localize this set of information for verification purposes.
Was there a dedicated team?
I’ve worked with 6–7 nation on different tasks.
How did you come to work with Plaidypus?
I’ve been working with Ryan [Owner, Plaidypus] for eight years, and we’ve done a lot of stuff unitedly. I got a cite from him along with a couple of others, and although his wasn’t the cheapest, it was the most detailed.
What are you approach expents (if diclosed)?
The timekeeping application was a $175,00 project. The effeminacy software was almost $30,000.
What is the terminal result of working with Plaidypus, Inc.?
We seted working unitedly in June 2015, and the relationship is ongoing.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
The manner payment gateway has been used and tested for almost six months. Based on what they told us, the project itself is going to lower their fraud rate from 4% to 1.5%. Based on their mean business, we should be able to save them a expressive quantity of money see year. Their educement cost was almost $30,000, but in one fraud business, we’ll be able to save them that quantity of money.
I have one review on the time treatment app seting that behind using it for six months, the user was able to bill two more jobs per week, which equated to $5,000 of income. They used the app to adviser employee hours, which ultimately allowed them to bid on jobs more accurately.
How did Plaidypus accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
Their project treatment is veritably good. We work on adjustments to make aims better behind I give it to them. We had one change order for the total mannerer retail project, which is veritably good in manner educement. We only had two change orders for the time treatment app project, which is expressive for its size and cost.
Plaidypus is very detailed. They adjoin leading and bill second. They want to make sure what they’re edifice is correct precedently they direct me for it. There offered a lot of good information.
I requested that we have meetings see two weeks and that they email seething else to me. We’d schedule those meetings and debate sprint progress, backlogs, and needed changes via phone calls. They fit themselves into my schedule instead of making me fit into theirs.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with Plaidypus, Inc.?
The detail in their work is forcible. I’ve worked with a couple other places that just gave me a aim and weekly sprint review, but didn’t look at it from the mannerer side. When I work with Plaidypus, we go through the workflow in one course, unitedly, and then we test the fruit.
Ryan told me he didn’t like the way something felt, so they made changes and didn’t bill me for them owing they reflection the project wasn’t going to be functional for the users. He didn’t want to release a bad fruit.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
Nobody',s consummate. There were a couple of things throughout the process that we could’ve talked through more and programned better. Some pieces didn’t flow consummately, including the interaction between the mannerer and the retailer. Their educeers were interfacing with my mannerer, and some of those meetings were less organized.
I’m more of a salesperson, but their educeers aren’t. When I adjoind that with Ryan, he got some of those calls instead of the educeers, which helped. He’s trying to train his educeers to adjoin better. All of that was resolved agreeably.
Do you have any advice for possible mannerers?
Go to them and tell them what needs to be accomplished, and ask them the best way to go almost it. They’ve done a lot. Many of the workflows that they’ve seen and worked with can construe back and forth to different places. It’s best to give them a goal and ask them how to get there. They’re veritably good at helping nation find an end solution.
