Initially the project began with a discovery workshop. We came away with eight deliverables, helping us leverage the expertise of the STX Next team across multiple areas of our business. We came away with requirements, a roadmap, recommendations on the system architecture, concept design, and a prototype. The STX Next team also gave us an estimate for team composition needed to develop the platform. After we agreed on the initial scope, we dove into development. We rebuilt our previous product from scratch (web and native apps), then moved on to adding an additional tier to the paid subscription. We originally planned on this being a limited project, but we quickly realized that the skills and professionalism of the STX Next team made an ongoing relationship desirable.

Successful relaunch of our web and native applications. Successful launch of a premium tier product. Successful launch of a user-feedback-driven redesign. Functional API development to allow integrations within our industry. Ongoing work to greatly expand and improve integration opportunities.

We used the scrum methodology for our project. We mainly use slack and jira to communicate. The team was open to using software that our company uses vs requiring us to use new software. Overall, we have been thoroughly impressed with their communication skills. Originally I was somewhat concerned about working with a team in a completely different time zone, but we have overcome those challenges. The team is always responsive and open to hearing our thoughts and concerns.

I have been impressed with their ability to think outside the box and come up with new, unique solutions to problems that we have. They have taken the time to truly understand our product, audience, and needs in order to provide us with the best possible solutions. In addition, they have a wide range of specialities on their team, which allows us to pull in additional individuals while we tackle specific tasks. This was extremely helpful as we were building our search engine. We were able to work with a search expert that guided us through the process, gave us recommendations, and was open to hearing our feedback as well. Our STX Next team cares about our product as if it were their own and is always striving to create the best possible product.

We encountered some challenges around expanding our product offerings with our existing team. The STX Next team worked closely with us to solve this issue by setting up a second team to run two parallel projects.

The app is working! We had a great experience working up through versions, and feature/product outcomes are the most important ones.

We worked together for ~6 months, in intervals of two-week Jira sprints. We did a good job scoping, and the items were delivered on time.

Our STX Next developer was amazing. She was incredibly capable across various facets we needed, and if she was ever outside of her comfort zone, it seemed the STX Platform was there to support her -- she was able to ask other STX developers or experts about topics she was working on for us.

We're very satisfied. They maybe could have helped with onboarding/kick-off, but I think that was just something that we (from the customer's side) were naive about. Learning opportunities all around -- STX was absolutely great.

I’m the CTO at a financial advisory company.

We needed help from a development company to update our web platform to better manage our advisory process and make our business more efficient.

We had a previous web platform that didn’t fit our company’s needs anymore. STX Next has developed a new web platform from scratch using Python and Vue.js. Our platform allows our clients to leave a review and has a reconciliation fee functionality as well. At some point, we considered hiring STX Next for design services, but we didn’t need them in the end.

We work with six teammates from STX Next, including four developers, one product owner, and one QA tester.

I found STX Next online. I chose STX Next because they seemed professional and had the skill set that we required.

We’ve invested £300,000 (approximately $376,000 USD) with STX Next.

STX Next has met my expectations, and I’m pleased with the platform they’ve developed. Our users have recently started using the platform and are very happy. STX Next has shown great expertise and put the work into trying to understand what we want to achieve.

STX Next is impeccably good when it comes to communication. They’re responsive to my requests and very proactive. I have frequent meetings with STX Next’s service delivery manager, who always takes and implements our feedback.

I’m most impressed with STX Next’s professionalism. STX Next’s staff is excellent, and their development team works diligently to develop the platform according to our requirements.

The project has taken longer than expected. I hoped to have something delivered in 5-6 months, which turned into eight months. During this time, we had to continue paying for the additional time because our fee wasn’t flat. However, we’ve discussed this situation, and what STX Next has developed so far is excellent.

I encourage customers to work with STX Next because they manage client relationships well.

I work at a district heating supplier. We supply heat, hot water, and cooling to thousands of customers in the UK.

We needed a company that could help with our metering and billing platform.

STX Next provides software development support for our metering and billing platform. They’re responsible for helping us manage and improve the platform.

We've worked with four developers, one tester, one DevOps, and one product owner/Scrum Master.

We started working together in June 2019, and the engagement is ongoing.

Our main measure of success is whether the sprints are planned, tested, and delivered successfully. This has resulted in smooth delivery and ongoing improvements.

STX Next has performed well in terms of project management. We run an agile project delivery, and every two weeks, they do new work for us. We have a very structured relationship — we have regular presentations and sprint planning and delivery meetings. They have the agility and flexibility to quickly make changes within what we’re delivering.

We’re impressed with STX Next’s fantastic work ethic and support. They’ve helped us get over inevitable hurdles that we’ve faced during software delivery.

Tailored products for individual customers would be an extra product offering that I'm sure would be well received.

Putting a structure in place for the delivery is crucial to deliver successful change. It ensures the whole team know what's planned yet gives them the freedom to deliver their best.
