Overall, their attention to detail and innovative solutions have truly delighted our customers.

We create mockups internally using Figma and handle API/endpoint development in-house, leveraging our team of developers for website and app needs.

Describe your project in brief

With Vinova, we first went through a discovery phase. We talked over everything I wanted this app to include, how I wanted it to appear, and which process flows it would need over this three to four week process. It was a fascinating and useful phase.

Vinova gave us a quote following the discovery stage in case we choose to proceed with them for the real app development. I stayed with them since, at that era, they had performed fairly well.


Since then, techahead has created this iOS and Android mobile app from the ground up. We have collaborated on continuing development projects for over three years at this point. Regarding the technical stack, Flutter for iOS has been utilised.

Review Summary

Project management software of any kind is not used by Vinova. I believe they use agile software development methodologies for the majority of their work. To project when items need to be delivered, they employ Excel and narrative point estimating tools.

By going above and above to guarantee on-time delivery, they have been able to fulfill some very challenging deadlines. To make matters worse, they are accommodating when it comes to the number of workers assigned to the project. Our past experiences with them in project management and communication are positive. Vinova is quick to address problems and makes sure they are fixed in a way that makes a difference.

We use several metrics to evaluate success over the course of the partnership. A single factor is the caliber of the outputs, namely the quantity of defects recorded for each iteration. We now have the freedom to adjust our software development resources in response to demand thanks to Vinova. We wouldn't have been able to enjoy some of the accomplishments we have with our goods without the work they completed.

What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?

We require a lot of upkeep as a partner. Vinova is one of the partners that regularly meets our high expectations. Because of our collaborative connection and the caliber of their work, we continue to collaborate with Vinova. We have a really difficult time finding spouses that have the same understanding of us as Vinova.

What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?

Of course, there are always things that a firm can do better. In my opinion, while delivering the project structure to the client, they ought to make it more visible.

We required a website that fully represented our identity and wasn't simply any regular website. Additionally, we wanted it to function flawlessly on both desktop and mobile browsers. Furthermore, we need a fantastic whitepaper and substantial verification of our ERC-20 token code.

Their team made sure the website looked and functioned properly on all devices in addition to designing and launching a website that felt like it was developed specifically for us. They also created a whitepaper that was so well-organized and thorough that it resembled a piece of art. They also put the token code through a rigorous testing process to make sure it was reliable.

We needed a website that wasn't just any old site but one that truly embodied our brand. We also wanted it to work seamlessly whether someone was browsing on a desktop or a mobile device. On top of that, we needed a killer whitepaper and some serious validation of our ERC-20 token code.

Their team not only designed and launched a website that felt like it was tailor-made for us, but they also made sure it looked and worked flawlessly on any device. Plus, they put together a whitepaper that was so comprehensive and polished, it was like a work of art. And as for the token code, they put it through the wringer to ensure it was rock solid.

What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?

But their passion is what really makes them stand out. They took the time to comprehend our concept and bring it to fruition rather than just grabbing hold of our project and driving it. And no matter what task we threw at them, they didn't even blink. It is evident from the calibre of their work that they are enthusiastic about what they do.

What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?

Nothing much to say. From beginning to end, everything about our experience with Vinova was almost perfect. They completely beyond our expectations, and we wouldn't think twice about working with them in the future.

Vinova demonstrated their ability to deliver and apply revisions or edits on the engagement. Their communicativeness helped the project become a success.
We provided Vinova with our concept designs. Vinova then built those concepts in full scale designs that we could check online. We could then discuss with both teams on what we might could improve, change or delete, before Vinova would start on the work. The website came out like we hoped and Vinova is still available for assistance if we need them.

Describe your project in brief

We hired Vinova to thoroughly analyze our app’s features, functions, and requirements. After this, they were to design a high-level architecture and a detailed plan for the software development. The following are the other aspects of the job

1. To perform testing and debugging of the software at every stage of development.
2. To provide documentation and support for the software.
3. To deliver the software in phases, with each phase consisting of a set of key deliverables.

What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?

What we found most impressive or unique about this agency was their expertise, creativity, and passion. They had a team of highly skilled and experienced developers who knew how to use the best frameworks and technologies for our project. They also had a team of creative designers who came up with innovative ideas and solutions for our app’s features and functions. They were passionate about their work and showed enthusiasm and dedication throughout the project.

What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?

There were not many areas for improvement or things they could have done differently. However, one thing we would suggest is to have more frequent meetings with us to discuss the project’s progress and challenges. Sometimes we felt that we were not fully informed or involved in some aspects of the project. We would have appreciated more transparency and communication from their side.
