I’m the founder and CEO of an app for men to be better day-to-day in the emotional fitness to live their best lives.What challenge were you trying to address with Crest Coder?
We wanted to bring on another full-time engineer to help us accelerate our build of the app.What was the scope of their involvement?

We’re only working with the one full-stack developer.How did you come to work with Crest Coder?

We’ve been working together since May 2021.What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The main way we measure success is by successfully working through the tickets in our system. So far, the results have been wonderful. The developer from Crest Coder has helped us launch a solution between a prototype and a beta. They’ve also helped us onboard around 20–25 test users.How did Crest Coder perform from a project management standpoint?
I would give them an eight out of 10 for project management. It’s a new relationship, and I’m still learning how to best work with a developer from a product management standpoint. Communication has been good, and deliveries are on time. I meet with them four times a week in daily standups. Discord supports our communication. When we have work for Crest Coder’s engineer, we work through weekly sprints, ensuring that deliverables and features are completed weekly.What did you find most impressive about them?
Their most impressive characteristic is their quality of development. Additionally, their developer completes work very quickly.Are there any areas they could improve?
The relationship will develop and strengthen, reaching a 10 out of 10 overtime. I don’t think there’s anything to improve at this point.Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Have a clear product roadmap for at least the first month of work. Moreover, be able to communicate clearly in the tickets the work that you want Crest Coder to perform.Crest Coder is developing a mobile application for the client of an IT services company.

So far, the project is on track. In fact, the client expects to launch the app by the end of the year. Crest Coder works in an organized manner, distributing the development process into four phases. They communicate consistently and provide constant support despite the difference in time zone.

Kabelo Mokgwetsi
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the executive director responsible for design and product developmentFor what projects/services did your company hire Crest Coder, and what were your goals?
We looked at developing a mobile application that can connect the users and personal trainers. Most trainers and users alike do not have a system in place that is reliable and can process bookings while taking payments at the same timeHow did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
Our vendor was selected based on work done for us before. We are now on App number 3 with this Vendor and the journey has been a great one since we started working with them in 2019Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
Part of the process is to first provide them with the brief of our requirement and that is followed by a session with the Vendor in describing their understand of the requirements. This is then followed up by a functional documentation from the vendor for our sign off. The development process is done in 4 phases which are agreed upfront.How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We mainly work with the project manager and 2 technical developers. Our main contact for any queries is always the project manager assigned to our projectCan you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
For this specific project we are only going live at the end of the year. However through the last phase of the testing phase, we involved a certain market of our selected clients and users who have already shown a great deal of interest in using the system.Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
The project plan and charter is agreed upfront which details deliverables including amongst that the communication plan. It is schedule to have 2 update sessions per month with frequent email and WhatsApp communication as and when it is required. Since we are in a different country, the timezone was never an issue as the Vendor always accommodated usWhat did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Their team is very interest in the products they are developing and always willing to guide and provide design artifacts that we did not even consider during our design. Their team is always willing to listen and make themselves available at any point in time.Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
In the last three Apps they have developed for us, I see improvements in how they handle themselves and always amazes me with new ways of working
