Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the founder and COO of a digital safety app, headquartered in London.
For what projects/services did your company hire CodeLeap, and what were your goals?
We wanted to develop an app for users to use to give them peace of mind, and offer the worlds best safety features, when out and about during active travel. Our goals were to originally develop a free version of the app and release to the App Store.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We searched app developers in London and chose 6 to speak to. CodeLeap we’re the third and from the first few minutes we knew we were meant to be working together. The enthusiasm, understanding of our mission, and passion from the first few minutes of the call were the deciding factors in choosing CodeLeap
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We first had a few meetings to discuss the project, and presented CodeLeap with our initials plans, designs and objectives. Within a short time they presented us with the scope of works and how they would work with us. Throughout the process they checked in for our feedback, and released the beta version within the time frame.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We had about 3 people working closely on the project, from an account manager, one other developer, and one designer.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
Within 3 months of our app launching, we had over 1,500 downloads, appeared in leading publications from Forbes, The Metro, Marie Claire, Women’s Fitness and many more, and started raising further investment.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
The project management style couldn’t be any better. We have scheduled calls for feedback and to share and discuss ideas. Everything has been delivered on time. Obviously tech has its bugs and challenges, and that’s to be expected. But, CodeLeap always kept us in the loop with it all.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
To be honest CodeLeap have shown genius in this project. Their skills are phenomenal and their understanding and connection between our holistic mission and marrying that to their technological capabilities has been outstandingly impressive.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
We realised at the beginning that we weren’t staying in top detailed reports of what was discussed, what was to be actioned and current updates. However, we put a system in place to manage this better our end, as we appreciated that CodeLeap had a lot to do their end and we should help stay on top of progresses throughout the protect m.
