Project Summary

Native app development

Konstant Infosolutions designed and developed the client’s core mobile app for both iOS and Android, and then worked on additional features.

Feedback Summary

Feedback Summary

The vendor not only provided a quote much lower than other prospective companies the client interviewed, but was also very upfront in describing the work they could do. Konstant Infosolutions was professional and communicative throughout the process, and worked very quickly.

Background

Please describe your company.

It’s a new startup company I started after I had an idea for an app. I just had an idea and decided to use an app to express that idea. The concept has to do with ice cream trucks.

What is your role and responsibilities?

I am the owner, but my day job is in the IT [information technology] industry.

Opportunity / Challenge

What was your goal for working with Konstant Infosolutions?

Basically, my kids and I missed the ice cream truck one day and I thought about some way that I could let the ice cream guy know that we’re here, and have money to spend with him. So, we came up with the idea of creating an app where the ice cream truck would have a vendor app, and then the client app would be out there for free to download. Anytime the ice cream truck entered the neighborhood, it would play the little ice cream jingle, and you could tell him that you wanted to buy ice cream. It would mark on his map where you were so he could find you and make a sale. The app is available on iPhone and Android.

Solution

Please describe the scope of their work.

Designing a mobile application and developing it was the only service provided.

What was your process for selecting Konstant Infosolutions with which to work?

I found them on a Web search. I think it was top 100 Web developers, or a similar directory site. I kind of shopped around. One quote that I had was for $350,000. I thought that was ridiculous. I made a few more calls, I didn’t give up. Then I talked with Manish [Jain, founder and managing director] at Konstant Solutions, and he was very helpful. They came back with a price that I could afford.

Can you provide a ballpark dollar figure for the size of the work that they’ve done for you?

Before they asked for a dime, Manish did a whole writeup on the scope of work, number of hours and estimated cost, before I actually had to outlay any money. They were very upfront with that and gave me all the information I needed.

Result & Feedback

What were the results of the project?

They did all the artwork, they did everything related to design. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly they were able to do it. There are some things I’ve gone back to them to improve currently to enhance the final product. When I came out with this, it was new, I’ve never seen anyone write an app to do this. I’ve since talked to people in the industry and received some additional ideas, but everything that I asked for in the original project was delivered.

Is there anything unique about them that really makes them stand out, compared to other companies?

Their pricing is very attractive. They seem to work harder upfront than some of the other companies. I called a couple different firms here in the U.S., and not only was the cost much higher, but they wouldn’t put forth any real upfront effort into quoting or talking to me. That really made me feel a lot better about working with Konstant. They were very professional. They called me on a regular basis to give me updates. They had a project portal where they would put notes and updates, and if I had any input I could add notes. Especially considering the time difference, they were very good about communication.

Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or something that you might do differently?

There’s nothing that I can think of. They went beyond the scope of work in all aspects.
