Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Beyond is a mobile app for our clients’ children; a social app that lets them stay in touch after events we host and helps us maintain the connection. Netguru designed and developed the solution.
We also worked with Karina Graj on two other products: a workflow engine for access to our applications, and a mobile/web suite that helps bankers take meeting notes using AI. For both of these, our role was product design.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

For all three products, each was adopted and then taken over by the business lines to continue investing (I’m in Innovation). Beyond has several dozen MAUs. The workflow tool has been fully embraced and the legacy solutions decommissioned, and as for the bankers’ AI tool, it has been requested by every banker in the group worldwide.

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

For this, I’ll focus on the Beyond app that Netguru developed. They delivered on time, even though the deadline seemed impossible to meet. The team was proactive and went above and beyond, putting in countless hours. I’ve already told them, but they exceeded my expectations in every respect. It was a fantastic collaboration.

What was your primary form of communication with Netguru?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Quality of the developers, reliability, rigor, speed. And the proposed designs and the choices made were excellent. I think what stands out the most is their ability to earn and deserve trust.

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

Unfortunately, not much in our context. I work in a rather secretive and closed world, and managing to “bring in” an external development company was a matter of chance. Unless you open an office in Geneva... I don’t see much to criticize. Apart from maybe your organization / org chart, it’s hard to clearly understand who is responsible for what. It may be obvious to you, but from the client’s perspective, at least for us, it isn’t.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of communications at Pure Earth, an environmental health nonprofit organization that provides health and environmental solutions to major global health crises. We clean up toxic pollution in low—and middle-income countries. We’ve been doing this work for 25 years, and for the past four years, we’ve focused on lead and mercury exposure and poisoning.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Netguru?

We needed an app to enable citizens to report pollution and geotag it.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Netguru built the Report Pollution app and the reportpollution.org landing page. Citizens would create reports, which would then go to the environment ministry in each country so we could start to take action. The team went through a series of meetings to learn about our existing systems, including our toxic site identification platform. We taught them about the issue and the platform's requirements and needs. The team did everything from scratch, including design, development, and App Store authorization.

What is the team composition?

We worked with around 3-4 people from Netguru.

How did you come to work with Netguru?

We met them at a conference and started talking about how to collaborate. They approached us because we were in the news and offered us their services.

How much have you invested with them?

It was a pro bono engagement, so we didn't spend any money.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from April 2019 to April 2020.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Their work was fantastic; the people who tested the app really liked it. However, we had to get government approval to use it in certain countries, and at that time, we couldn't get funding to roll it out, so we didn't use the app. Now that we have the political support, money, and staff, we're considering approaching Netguru again to update the app.

How did Netguru perform from a project management standpoint?

Netguru was amazing. They provided clear documentation and met every deadline; they worked quickly and were thorough. They understood our field, which was very different from the business operations they usually did. They were great communicators using Slack and emails. 

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I wanted to give kudos to the team member in charge of external partnerships and business development.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The team was remote and from different places, yet they worked really well together. Their professionalism was very high. I used to work in the tech sector, so I know good when I see it.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there's nothing I can come up with.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Invest in the discovery phase. Stay engaged and ensure that communication flows to realize your vision.

Project delivered on time and to budget

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

Netguru's project management was excellent. We were assigned a highly organised PM who scheduled three online sprint meetings a week, and planned and managed the project on Jira. The team communication was mostly via Slack. We received monthly updates about the budget. When our designer had to leave due to illness, she organised an internal designer at short notice who was able to help us complete the project. She also found us an extra Flutter engineer to come on board for a short period to help. 

What was your primary form of communication with Netguru?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

We interviewed three companies for this project. Netguru were actually the most expensive, but we are EXTREMELY glad we chose them. They didn't over-promise in the pitch meetings, they were very honest about what would and would not be possible for our budget – unlike the other dev houses we met with. Their project management was impeccable. They were truly agile, responding quickly to problems and issues that came up during the build. And they adapted to work with a founder (me) with no technical experience, not an easy thing.

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

At one point we were starting to go over budget. This could have been communicated to us more quickly; however, a solution was found which enabled us to continue with the project. We are very impressed with their flexibility and helpfulness in helping us get the project over the line.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Netguru conducted an in-depth UI/UX audit of our mobile app, assessing its alignment with our future goals. This independent audit, combined with benchmarking against similar apps, highlighted the app's strengths, areas for improvement, and potential opportunities. The insights gained allowed us to identify reusable elements and set a clear focus for where to concentrate our efforts moving forward.

Following the audit, we took time to articulate the company's vision and future aspirations. This led to a series of local workshops in Mauritius facilitated by Netguru, where we delved into the business context, mobile strategy, and how best to align the app with our goals. These workshops were crucial in distilling our discussions into actionable steps, laying the foundation for the redesign process.

With a clearer vision, we defined an MVP scope for the new app, incorporating existing features and some new additions. Netguru guided us through mood-boarding sessions, ultimately landing on the perfect design direction. Over a 14-week period, the design was here, transforming our business needs, vision, and strategy into scalable, logical components for the app. A custom design system, the first of its kind for the organization, was also established as part of this overhaul.

Netguru successfully translated our fragmented ideas and shared vision into an elegant and tangible outcome – the app’s new design and design system. Simply outstanding.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• A highly scalable design for the mobile app, broken down into logical blocks, enabling us to quickly build new product and feature journeys without needing to redesign existing parts of the app.
• The ability to easily upsell and cross-sell products to our users via streamlined onboarding and seamless product access from the app.
• A new feature for our credit products that showcases merchants’ products and services, creating a new revenue stream that didn’t exist previously.
• A design system that facilitates new journey creation, ensures consistency, and accelerates the development process.

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

Netguru was always super responsive and open to ideas from our side, even the most unconventional ones. They not only helped us deliver the project and bring clarity but also guided us on best practices and the right structure to build products and features. Netguru exceeded our expectations, consistently delivering on time for critical milestones, which made the process smooth and manageable for us.

Despite our team running multiple projects in parallel, Netguru’s expertise, attention to detail, and incredible people made this project feel effortless, even though it was a major initiative for us. We worked so closely with Netguru that it felt like we were one team, collaboratively tackling challenges and delivering solutions on the fly.

The project was meticulously managed from start to finish, and despite the usual challenges every project faces, we completed everything within the timeline and budget.

What was your primary form of communication with Netguru?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The team from Netguru was incredibly friendly, and we never felt any barriers despite working across different geographies and cultures. In many corporate projects, meetings and engagements can feel formal and rigid, but our collaboration with Netguru was refreshingly different. We had relaxed, open conversations, a friendly atmosphere, and still managed to achieve serious, high-quality work.

The culture that emerged between our teams was greatly appreciated by Cim Finance. It encouraged us to think outside the box and embrace ideas we might not have considered before. Their expertise was deeply valued, not just in delivering the project, but also in helping us adopt some of their best practices into our daily work. While the project itself was our top priority, we ended up gaining far more from this collaboration than we initially expected.

We needed to collaborate with a product designer to prepare visuals for our clients and internal products. The deliverables included clickable prototypes, ad designs, and other assets required by the Sales Team and our Clients.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We've been working with Netguru for nearly two years on our product design needs.With this collaboration we focus primarily on the Ad Product development. Netguru uses Figma, which aligns perfectly with our tools at Brainly.

What is the team composition?

WE primarily work with Mirek (Senior Product Designer) and occasionally with Kinga (Project Coordinator), who ensures our engagement is smooth and handles contract renewals. Mirek has been the consistent designer throughout our engagement.

How did you come to work with Netguru?

Netguru was already one of Brainly's partners before this project. Their values align closely with ours, making them an excellent fit for our needs.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the head of engineering for a financial services company. I look after the company’s engineering department and processes, including project delivery, hiring, and other related matters. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Netguru?

We hired Netguru to outsource software engineers. Our company wanted to scale up the engineering team quickly as we grew.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Netguru provides us with around 15 software engineers working on a single project with many parts. We have a fintech app for our customers, and the Netguru team works on every part of it, such as the lending, banking, and KYC components. Put simply, they’re embedded in our engineering team.

What is the team composition?

At most, we’ve worked with around 15 engineers; that number has decreased to five teammates, including Mateusz (Engineering Lead) and Lukasz (Senior UX Researcher). I’ve also interfaced with five account managers during the engagement. 

How did you come to work with Netguru?

The decision to hire Netguru was made before me, so they were already a part of the organization when I joined it. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve paid around €220,000 (approximately $240,000 USD) per month early in the engagement. At present, we’re paying between €40,000–€50,000 (approximately $43,000–$54,000 USD) per month.

What is the status of this engagement?

The engagement started in June 2021, and it’s ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Netguru has brought on experienced senior engineers to us. They’ve produced quality code and built truly reliable systems that will serve our customers for a long time. On top of that, their engineers can easily adapt to new environments and systems. They understand what’s going on in the background of these services and help us develop them further while also troubleshooting them. 

Moreover, they’ve brought good engineering practices that we’ve adopted — some of them have truly improved our efficiency and organizational excellence. Overall, their engineering resources are great. The engineers we get from them always satisfy our needs; they’re genuinely driven. 

How did Netguru perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve done a great job managing the project. We’ve negotiated with them in terms of scope. We sometimes cut the scope or extend the deadline. However, they consistently meet our needs based on our agreement. 

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Mateusz has done great work. Working with Lukasz has also been nice.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Netguru’s company culture has been great for their engineers. They provide a framework where their resources have peace of mind and can work on enjoyable projects. That’s why they retain talented teammates; for us, having talented teammates is a plus.

Are there any areas they could improve?

When I joined the company, I offered them a suggestion regarding their pricing. They weren’t open to price negotiations. However, they changed a couple of management-level staff and became more flexible on their price.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Negotiate hard on the pricing, and work with Netguru’s core team. For context, Netguru has two main units: a core team and a group called partners. The teammates we get from their core team are always good.
