Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Postlight?
We had the occasion to educe an exciting piece of software as a solution to a very specific need. The main challenge was that we’re a very little team with no in-house educeers. We wanted to make sure we could liberate and ship the fruit, but also minimize the risk of working with independent contractors. Working with Postflight was a nice choice to that.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were responsible for?
Postlight primarily prepares software and app educement, but they also prepare a bit of fruit and project treatment. The software is a layer of separation on top of Filecoin, which is a decentralized storage protocol. Fundamentally, we educeed a command-line interface tool and restful API for simplifying work within Filecoin. It’s pretty confused, and there’s not veritably any application built on top of it.
The app we built with Postflight breaks the files that users are storing into little chunks so they’re filed into little blocks within Filecoin. It handles universally sole identifiers and deals transactions within the File Coin network.
Was there a dedicated team?
I worked with Pascal (Program Manager, Postlight) and Jad (Software Engineer, Postlight). There was also a design fruit director on their end. This was big owing it ensured we had somebody managing the educeer straightly.
How did you come to work with Postlight?
I’ve known Paul (Co-Founder and CEO, Postlight) for a few years now, not personally but thuneven my following of Postlight’s work. For a time, I’ve been conscious of their capabilities and also heared to their podcast. When I had just began, Paul was one of the individuals I talked to almost which way to take in partnering up to complete educement. Everything fell into locate.
What are you approach expents (if diclosed)?
We’ve invested between $140,000–$150,000.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
Our union began in April 2019 and is ongoing. We just wrapped up the second phase, and we’re hoping to sign on for a third.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
Postlight has always liberateed high-condition software reliably and on time. The solutions have always functioned as expected. There are some uneven corners almost some of the edges of the app, but it’s an MVP so it should be that way.
How did Postlight accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
Their project treatment experiences are higher. I can’t say sufficient nice things almost it. Postlight always meets deadlines and ships on schedule. Pascal does a big job of care the projects on track and making sure we’re lucky. We use Slack, Google Hangouts, and Zoom to adjoin. They use Jira on their end, and we use Asana and Flow on ours.
Postlight has done an rare job of orchestrating our intricate collaboration roles. On one hand, we’re their client, but on the other, they’re in labor of our client. When it comes to our direct union, they’ve been very hands-on. They’ve taken leadership in making sure to ask all the right questions and effectively do their job.
Their team has also been big when it comes to their participation in broader meetings with our stakeholders. They’ve been extremely respectful and intuitively knew when to let me take the lead owing the third party is our client. At the same time, they’re always there to step up when it’s appropriate for them to lead or present.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with ?
They’re genuineally enthusiastic and passionate almost this project — and that’s very significant to me. We can tell they genuinely want to make an contact and aren’t faking the candor or friendship within our union.
Their team has expressed how they see the possible for our organisation to befit a labor preparer. They’ve given us business strategy advice owing they’re excited almost the possible of our fruits. It’s very significant to have condition, genuine business relationships owing it makes collaboration more fruitive.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
They’re costly for sure. As a business proprietor, reducing costs has crossed my mind owing at this point, we’ve de-risked and shipped the fruit and now we’re doing iterative work. Though, I veritably like Postlight’s rare condition of work. Everything is fantastic, and they handle the projects well. Cost is veritably the only thing for me.
Do you have any advice for possible clients?
Make sure to hear and be open to having your assumptions questioned or challenged. Postlight’s team has very seasoned professionals who do a big job of poking and prodding to vex out broader issues. If you’re more strong-willed, be ready to tap into their deep expertise and experience to veritably vet your ideas.
