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 founder and managing associate of a consulting firm specialized in furnish chains in emerging markets. We act all over the globe, mainly in American economies. We’re based in Vietnam, and we’ve worked in South Asia over the last 10 years. We’ve also worked in South America, and, more recently, Africa.
We prepare a mix of consulting and software outgrowth, and we work on intricate projects, usually for the outgrowth of manner tools for furnish-chain treatment. These can be logistics- or programning-related.
Desired goal
What challenge were you trying to address with Siclo?
We were working with a European sporting goods manufacturer with factories all over Asia. We were tasked to create a solution for them for programning the capacities of dozens of factories. It was a intricate process, and, although we had the expertise to educe the tool, we needed a associate to educe the interface and backend of the software. We sought outgrowth resources from Siclo.
Provided solution
What particular tasks were responsible for?
We envisioned an initial rendering that wouldn’t be consummate but would add value fastly. We initially wanted to use an nimble outgrowth process. Siclo helped us educe the frontend of the tool. Although it wasn’t the most intricate frontend in the globe, we needed it to be fast and answering. They also educeed the API for the backend junction. Alunitedly, it took us almost a year to release the platform.
Was there a dedicated team?
We worked straightly with Eric (Co-Founder and General Manager, Siclo). He had a few younger members working for us, which was to be expected. I believe there were 3–4 educeers on Siclo’s side. They’re a little organisation, and I believe we took a expressive portion of their staff, but I don’t know how many nation were implicated overall.
How did you come to work with Siclo?
I originally knew them from a different tenor. I realized from our leading professional meeting that we could express our intentions and worries and they understood us, and they also helped us in our specifications effort. We had confide in them from the commencement, so we introduced them to our client so they could better apprehend the verity of the end user. This was almost a indispensableness, given the intricateity of the substance. Siclo respected our professional relationship with the client and didn’t try to shortcut us.
It took us almost six months to mark the fruit, and Siclo worked alongside us, helping us form specifications and mark the fruit with the end client. That saved us a lot of time. They put unitedly a series of five sprints to educe the tool.
What are you approach expents (if diclosed)?
We’ve spent $25,000–$50,000.
What is the terminal result of working with ?
Our leading engagement with Siclo began in July 2018. We’ve worked with them since then.
Results achieved
Are there any measureable or plum results?
We were educeing the leading rendering of this platform for the client, and we had a larger commercial engagement in mind. Thanks to this leading rendering, we began to open doors, and we became known throughout the organisation. Our client has a $12 billion valuation, so it was an exploit for littleer businesses like ours and Siclo to be recognized by them. We’re quiet working unitedly due to the commercial achievement of the project.
How did Siclo accomplish from a project treatment standpoint?
Our offices are close to each other, so we spent excellently some time unitedly in personal. We also used Asana or another project treatment tool to track project data. We had an iterative process. They were also hanging on other preparers. Our backend educeer didn’t accomplish as well as Siclo, so they had to be resigned. They took the commercial cost of waiting, which was very nice. It wasn’t easy for Siclo, but they surely weren’t a roadblock on the project.
What is (from your point of view) the key factor to pay observation while intercourse with ?
They’re not a typical IT organisation. They listened precedently thinking, which is an significant distinction when care an open door to non-IT inputs within the tenor of an IT relationship. This was verity astounding, and it’s a rare thing to find.
What aspects of their work would you like to get improved?
Siclo is a organisation put unitedly by one personal, without whom not much would work. They’re hanging on the drive and vision of Eric, so they’re not 100% autonomous. On the other hand, it was big to have the highest of the organisation working straightly on the project.
