ProCoders

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Inventory Planner is a forecasting tool for e-commerce that help to keep the right amount of stock in a warehouse.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with ProCoders?

Our company website was redesigned and we needed to outsource the layout coding.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We found them exploring freelance websites. After talking to Alex we were convinced to work with them and don't regret about it.

Describe the project in detail.

Once we selected Procoders Alex assigned a dedicated engineer who coded the entire website layout from scratch based on our mockups. He worked closely with the engineering team and the designer on our side and rebuild everything on time + added a mobile version that we did not have before.

What was the team composition?

We worked with 1 frontend engineer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

How did your relationship with the vendor evolve?

Despite the inevitable challenges, the relationship remained unwaveringly professional and notably successful.

In what ways can they improve?

As Procoders work on many projects at the same time sometimes engineers are not available and you need to wait till they finish the current project. In our experience we've never waited for more than few days though which is fine.

What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours?

Based on our experience, we would highly recommend others to consider using ProCoders. Their professionalism and dedication to success have consistently met our needs, making them an outstanding partner in the tech industry.
