We have hired Brights for developing an application for whitening teeth in real time. User open app, have possibility to make photo from webcam or upload it and on the last screen see result before/after whitening.
Also Brights have developed design for our app.
The project began with a discovery workshop, and developing of main feature in application (a demo version with smile detection and color correction filter) which let us understand the final result, before we saw a design.
We communicated with project manager everytime and discussed requirements, we have a possibility to make changes during development and as a result to receive product we need.

I hired Brights to assist with the Design and Development of our entire platform (Website). Our Website is a C2C social based platform which facilitates the sharing of sports betting insights, predictions, and analyses.
Our overall goal for the project was to emerge as one of the first social based and all-inclusive sports handicapping platforms on the market. From a design and development standpoint, our goal was to create a unique platform that allows users to create an account, interact with one another (i.e. follow one another), and post and view sports betting predictions either for free or at a price, which was achieved with the help of Brights. Furthermore, our goal was to include transparent statistical tracking for all of our users.
From a technical perspective, achieving these goals included integrating Sports Betting APIs, payment processors, and other third-party companies. Achieving these goals also required the creation of our unique view picks and make picks flows, user profiles (which include a number of statistical calculations, graphs, etc.), two leaderboards (which include a number of statistical calculations and a complex ranking system), and suggested user algorithms.
Our project started with a one week planning phase in which I traveled to Brights’ office in Ukraine and worked directly with the team to explain our vision and the basic functionality of the platform. In this one week planning phase, with the guidance of the extremely knowledgeable Brights team, we were able to create a plan to overcome a number of anticipated obstacles that we immediately identified. The Brights team consisted of the CTO, project manager, team lead, designers, front end developers, back end developers, and QA specialists.
Following the planning phase, we jumped into the design phase, where the Brights designers were able to map out the flow and design of our create an account / login pages in just a couple of days. After we worked together to agree on final designs, the developers began coding the back end while the designers continued to design our Dashboard, Create Prediction Flow, View Prediction Flow, User Profile Page, Leaderboards, Manage Funds, and Notifications pages.
The process continued on in two week sprints, with weekly meetings to ensure that we were on track to meet our sprint timeline and to discuss questions and obstacles encountered in real time. When an obstacle was brought to the attention of our team, the Brights team always brought a number of solutions to the table, and a recommendation and supporting explanation for which solution they felt was the best.
As the development of our platform was an evolving process, there were a lot of ad hoc updates requested on the fly, which the Brights team was able to easily manage.
In addition to the design, development, and integration work provided by Brights, they also provided assistance with the setup of our Google Analytics account, SEO optimization advice, and a number of marketing and promotional recommendations, which were analyzed by our team, and some of which ultimately integrated into our platform.

What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
The thing that I am most impressed with about Brights is how knowledgeable and involved the entire team is in my project. Every weekly meeting we have includes all team members and everyone always has something to bring to the table. Each member of the team seems to have their own specific skill sets, which are identified and utilized in order to make the project more efficient and effective as a whole. The project manager is doing an incredible job at ensuring that everything is organized, communications are constant and clear, and that the entire team is always on the same page. Additionally, I am extremely pleased with how hands-on the CTO of Brights is. He attends almost every one of our weekly meetings and his technical and business skills are extremely apparent every time he contributes to our team discussions. Having someone of his expertise involved in our project on a daily basis has helped us to more quickly identify a number of effective solutions to obstacles that we encountered, in turn making our entire project that much more efficient. We were also extremely impressed with how quickly the entire team was able to understand our platform and business model with extremely limited prior experience in the industry. The Brights team seems to enjoy working on our project, which has made this process that much more pleasurable.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
There isn’t anything that we have been unhappy with thus far, and definitely no major improvement points or red flags.

Overdeliver

Steve Fuller
posted on 3/5/21
If I had to use one word to describe my experience with Brights, it would be "overdeliver." From initial exploratory conversations all the way through launch, the Brights team consistently overdelivered.
During exploratory conversations, the Brights team provided insights that other developers had not. This indicated a very high level of engagement from very early on in the process, and the level of engagement remained extremely high throughout the entire process. During development, the Brights developers were asking questions and making recommendations that further demonstrated a very high level of engagement. In between weekly meetings, Brights was in constant (but not over-the-top) communication. Working with Brights was as close to having our own internal development team without actually having our own internal development team.
The level of engagement and great customer service provided by Brights throughout the entire process absolutely led to a final product that exceeded our expectations. We were a startup with an idea for an app, and Brights' collaborative partnership with us brought our idea to life. We look forward to continuing to work with Brights.

Role: Co-Founder & CEO at Flocus
I hired Brights to help maintain and further develop our SaaS app, including Electron desktop apps for Mac / Windows, React Native for mobile & basic web browser functionalities. The app combines task management with calendar functionalities across all platforms.
One of the key reasons I love working with Brights is the transparent, direct and quick communication. The project manager pro-actively keeps me posted on the state of things and I always receive answers to my requests within 24 hours. It feels more like an extended team, rather than an "external agency" that you have to deal with.
From a technological point of view, Brights has always delivered on time & in budget, without any major issues following releases. The team gets the job done and I can highly recommend Brights as a happy customer.

Executive Interview
Dmitriy Umen
CTO & Co-Founder, Brights
Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the company?
We are a software development company located in Kyiv, Ukraine, with a team of 72 people and a sales office in Warsaw. We help companies at any stage of the product software development cycle: from R&D and building MVP from scratch, to scaling, UX analyzing and improving.
What was the idea behind starting this organization?
We make a combination of quality customer service with talented development.
What is your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
The team is in-house.
How is your business model beneficial from a value addition perspective to the clients compared to other companies' models?
We apply the Time and Material approach to manage the projects. From our experience, this approach has shown benefits such as flexibility in communications and interactions between the client and the company, the ability to divide the project into phases (sprints), and see the timeline more clearly, which leads to faster development. Besides, the T&M approach may also help reduce costs.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive?
FinTech, Business Applications, and Startups.
Mention the objectives or the parameters critical in determining the time frame of developing software.
It depends on the size of the project, the comprehensibility of tasks, and the development of the market. If we do something innovative, then we need to try, test hypotheses.
How much effort in terms of time goes into developing the front end and back end of software?
Depends on the size of the team and the amount of work. As a rule, we try to do MVP in 3 months.
What are the key parameters to be considered before selecting the right framework for developing software?
It should be time-tested technology, with a large community of contributors and necessarily opensource.
Which languages & frameworks do you prefer to use in development of software?
vue.js, React, Angular, ASP.NET Core.
What are the key factors that you consider before deciding the cost of software?
Key factors include availability of expertise within the company, technological risks, the innovativeness of the project, and also the presence of understandable functional requirements.
What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)
Mainly T&M but we also work on Fixed Cost after developing a detailed specification and prototype.
Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?
We don't look at the budget but the type of project. We will quickly take up the development of a small feature in an innovative startup, but we will also quickly abandon the expensive content site on WordPress. The main thing is that the project should correspond to the vector of our development of expertise.
What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2018?
20,000 – 2,50, 000.
Kindly share your feedback on how GoodFirms has been doing so far in increasing your visibility among potential clients.
Good platform that gives us new customers every month.
