Uinno

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the founder of LingoGenie. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Uinno?

I wanted to build an application that could teach users looking to learn English in the Middle East region. The goal was to provide a solution that was different from everything else in the market. I hired Uinno to develop my app's software. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Uinno has developed the software for my Android and iOS mobile app. First, we brainstormed together during the discovery phase. From there, the team moved on to the design phase, which included creating diagrams for basic UI designs using Figma. The development phase was next, where the team handled backend development.

What is the team composition?

In the beginning, I worked with Vladimir (Business Development Manager). Since then, we've been assigned a project manager, a designer, a frontend developer, and a backend developer. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested around $50,000

How did you come to work with Uinno?

I found them online and hired them because I saw that one of their strong points was making apps specific to educational services. After reading some reviews, I contacted Uinno. I had been involved in other projects, and one of the common challenges that I was trying to overcome in this project was finding a company that had in-house front- and backend developers, designers, and project management. Uinno had everything, which was what I was looking for. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in January 2024, and the engagement is ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The app is good; I'm satisfied with it. The whole team at Uinno is worthy of a shout-out. Although the app was launched this month, we still have things to do on our side before we can get quantitative results. This project involves continuous development, so we've launched a minimal product that will enable us to get feedback from users and develop from there.

How did Uinno perform from a project management standpoint?

Uinno also provided a project manager from their side to manage the overall project. The team's project management is top-notch. They're dedicated to their deadlines as we are to ours; we wanted to launch in August 2024, and that's what we've done. Uinno responds well to feedback and provides sufficient communication. As for tools, Uinno uses Trello, Slack, and Figma well. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Uinno's communication and project management skills have been top-notch. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There's nothing they need to improve. If anything, there are things we need to improve. 

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Have a complete vision of what the outcome should look like. If you don't have that clear vision, you might go through many changes during the process, which takes time and resources.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Uinno ran a tightly managed project. The project manager was extremely knowledgable in the technology and solution they were proposing. Through the project the engineers working on the features were able to explain their solutions and react with ease to feedback. All deliverables were clearly planned and key dates were met without delay. They were proactive in communicating, so we were never unclear about the project status, the timeline or the budget.

What was your primary form of communication with Uinno?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They were so easy to work with. We are based in Australia, but this experience did not feel like a remote team, working in a silo where we can't see what is happening. The experience for the project was seamless and felt local.

There was no part of the experience that felt lacking or worth changing.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a Head of Product at an HRM startup. We have delivered enterprise software solutions that have transformed business processes for hundreds of customers since its inception. The online products division and has a range of Cloud ready products in the areas of HR & Payroll, Employee Portal based HRMS, Core Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Uinno, and what were your goals?

We represent a SaaS HR software solution. Uinno acted as an extended team that was initially engaged in frontend development and IT infrastructure implementation. However, within a while, the team started performing a part of backend development tasks. In particular, they worked with .NET technology very well.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We always approach the selection of the contractor very thoroughly. It is important that the team is fully involved in our processes and can apply its best experience rather than just execute the tasks. Our project is quite big. So a long-lasting and thorough cooperation is of great importance. To make sure we are on the same page with the development team, we have implemented four stages of vendor selection. Only after passing this selection process, we make up a decision. We were astonished by Uinno's deep expertise in the relevant area and how broadly they look at the tasks pool.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Frontend development and IT infrastructure implementation were the first stages of our cooperation. There were many tasks to complete and lots of work to perform. For instance, they had to develop recruitment pipelines, incorporate the solution with internal tools, integrate it with external job boards, etc. After a while, the Uinno team started noticing certain issues in the backend part of the HRM software. As they have offered reasonable solutions, we have decided to delegate them this scope of work as well. ReactJS, Redux, Typescript, Microsoft Azure, and .NET were the core technologies in this project.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

In total, the Uinno team consists of 8 people.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Our product is an ecosystem of software solutions for HR and recruitment. Some subproducts are already working, the others are still in the development stage. As to measurable outcomes, it is hard to estimate. We collaborate within a time and material model and can confirm the highest efficiency of the Uinno development team. Our business results are our private thing, they don't relate to the development phase.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Clear and consistent reporting, full commitment of project manager, and fast communication.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They always see the big picture while approaching the task pool and, thus, find the best possible solution.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

No, everything is fine.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a Founder of an environmental solutions company. We aim to create simple, high-quality, affordable solutions and products that address climate change. We encourage both individual and family consumers, as well as small to medium-sized enterprises, to develop sustainable lifestyles and businesses through considered action. While we always stress the importance of reducing CO2 emissions, reusing, and recycling wherever possible, we also believe that positive action is required in the form of offsetting the difference.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Uinno, and what were your goals?

Carbon emissions measurement mobile app. This Ecotech startup allows app users measure their carbon emissions during their everyday routine, showcase the results and provide valuable advice on how to reduce their potentially negative impact on the environment.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I’ve decided to search for a software development vendor by recommendations. By the way, namely, our startup networking community has advised me to use the services of Uinno.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

All I had at the start was an idea. It was necessary to build a project architecture and work out wireframes and an app prototype. Since the beginning and to this day we are working via a time-and-material collaboration model.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

In the beginning, there was a whole development team: tech lead, UI/UX designers, and iOS developers. Currently, we continue developing the project with two developers and at times involve designers to create new features design.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The mobile application is a fully finished product that is ready to enter the market. However, we continue supporting its functionality and developing new features. At the moment, our main achievement is $1.7 million in fundraising for further product development and marketing activities.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

I have nothing to compare it to. But I believe that my first experience with a software development vendor was rather successful. I am very pleased with the prompt communication they provide me with.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

It feels like they are our business partners, not just vendors. The guys do the job as if for themselves and cheer for every win we have together.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

After 7 months of joint work, we continue our efforts in the full product development. I enjoy every step of the way.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a co-founder of the SaaS tipping platform

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Uinno, and what were your goals?

SaaS tipping platform provided on a custom basis for various brands that should conduct internal sports betting tournaments among its clients. We already had an MVP and wanted to scale it.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

When choosing a vendor, the main point was the previous experience of a successful turnkey solution development. We were looking for a development team that would cover all our needs. We chose Uinno because they have made a thorough analysis of our challenges and offered a perfect development flow. Another factor that has had a huge influence on our decision was their experience in developing platforms specialized in betting, tipping, and so on.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We already had an MVP and wanted to scale it. But it was built specifically for one sports activity. So every time we needed to create a new application for each new sport. In these conditions, our core objective was to create a universal, all-in-one platform with a similar pattern. It required the development team to deliver a whole new solution architecture design, web frontend and backend development, and database implementation. Due to the heavy load after all database calculations, we need to move everything to the cloud where experience with AWS and Redis was most important.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Three software developers, a project manager, and a team lead worked on our project. We were very delighted with the code review conducted by the team leader that ensured the highest product quality.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We have received an opportunity to add new sports activities and enter new markets without creating a whole new application from the ground. At the moment, we are scaling to the UK.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

They are agile, and that's what matters. Uinno has provided a convenient and easy-to-understand reporting system. We saw and knew each development stage.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I was impressed with their deep technical expertise, thoroughness, and communication.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Our collaboration is so great that we start a new project in a couple of months.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are an insurance startup in Australia looking to create a new way for young Australians to get protected and be supported by a digital first insurer. I am the head of product and am responsible end to end for the success of our platform and application.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Uinno?

We have used Uinno for QA support in our app, we develop and launch new features often and wanted to have the confidence we were keeping the highest possible standard of experience for our customers

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I have worked with the management team at Uinno for many years in the past, they are incredibly trustworthy, hard working and skilled in what they do. I trusted they would ensure we got high quality support for our project and that if we were to expand our needs they would be around to support.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The project was to support manual QA of our app on an ongoing basis. Approximately 10hrs per week but then also ramp up during important times such as major product releases. The project took part in two main stages:

1. The ongoing manual QA of our product across device, browser etc, and recommendations for how the user experience could be made better to give us confidence in the quality of product we shipped to customers
2. Helping us build out our automated testing capability for key user journeys that would enable our QA resource to focus on more complex testing scenarios while the straight forward key user journeys were automated.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We had 1 QA resource as well as Project Management from Uinno.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Automated testing saved us a lot of time, where as before we were needing to run through 50 test cases or so before comfortable to release, not that occurs automatically. We also never shipped low quality product to our customers which shows in their reviews

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was highly effective, we had clear communication lines for ongoing briefs and report sharing via slack, and also could setup calls ad-hoc to discuss more complex tasks or scenarios.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They offer a high-quality service that is extremely flexible to our business as a startup needs changes very fast. Uinno was always around to support.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Nope.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

main decision factor was experience in previous similar projects, as I had specific requirements re Tech stack, i.e. Backend on PHP, and Frontend VueJS, so that our internal team can provide guidance for integration with internal tools and services. Another key factor was providing clear guidance re architecture and approach for scalability, given how fast our company is growing

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Total scope consisted of 3 stages:

1. MVP version to concept proof several ideas, including UX research, Business Analysis and basic components for core logic,

3. stage was polishing period with several extra change requests.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I stayed in contact with key stakeholders, such as Account Manager, BA, Project Manager and Delivery lead, however I am not sure I can provide info on how many people actually worked on the project at a time

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

After launching the product for internal needs, we have seen 60% decrease in time consumption of routine work for staff, which meant 35-40% increase in productivity level during the day as team members could invest time into business needs, rather than in routine work

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We have followed Agile methodology, as it was one of the main requirements in this aspect, that however was complimented with regular standups and reports, as well as adhoc meetings with key team members to discuss and brainstorm ideas or pivot available requirements.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I am impressed with their communication skills. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Only 4 star rating out of 5 in my feedback is pricing, therefore I would want the rate card could be a little lower, even though every penny was worth it.
