Leanware

As the co-founder and head of IT at Toleap Consulting AB, an IT consulting agency, we faced a challenge in reconnecting defunct services to enable them to communicate effectively. We needed professional help to connect Twitch streaming service with FastSpring, an e-commerce platform for digital storefronts. Leanware stepped in to streamline our purchase notification system, ensuring that purchase details are seamlessly sent and processed across the services. Their involvement included developing a product that manages these notifications efficiently. We also engaged Leanware in localization projects in Spanish and Portuguese and improvements to the web solution in preparation for a major use case. The team composition included 2-3 teammates, with a primary point of contact facilitating smooth communication. I discovered Leanware on a freelancing platform after a thorough search for a niche skillset required for the project. We invested $1,200 in this project, starting our collaboration in June 2020, and the engagement is ongoing. Leanware has consistently adhered to our specifications, ensuring everything functions as expected. Their project management, using Slack, Discord, and GitHub, has been effective. I have been particularly impressed by their clear communication, timely delivery, and precise documentation. Overall, my experience with Leanware has been highly satisfactory, with no areas for improvement noted.

As the VP of Marketing at Canadian Orthodontic Partners, I manage a network of over 50 orthodontic clinics across Canada. My role encompasses branding, patient demand, lead acquisition, virtual care model development, and company communication efforts. We engaged Leanware as an ad hoc developer to handle specific tasks that required immediate attention without burdening our current agencies. Leanware addressed a crucial need by integrating our consumer-facing website with our CRM system and other databases, ensuring seamless communication with patients. Their work involved bridging gaps between our practice management software and HubSpot, which we use mainly for email campaigns and integration points. Leanware's team, led by Carlos (CEO), was instrumental in understanding our problem and developing an effective solution. I discovered Leanware on Fiverr and invested approximately $500 CAD (around $380 USD) for the project, which ran from June to July 2020. The results were impressive, with our enhanced payment calculator tool contributing nearly two million dollars in revenue, directly attributed to patient interactions through the tool. Leanware's responsiveness, problem-solving approach, and enthusiasm, particularly Carlos' communication, stood out. Although our projects with Leanware have been small, their efficiency and dedication have been exceptional, making them a preferred partner for future initiatives.

As the CEO of a fast product provider company, we engaged Leanware to create a sales tool for one of our clients. This tool needed to sit between our site and the eventual payment page, enabling our client to quickly choose membership levels and payment methods. I provided Leanware with a Balsamiq mock-up, and they responded with a written document clarifying their understanding before proceeding with development. Leanware built the frontend tool within our IWS environment, incorporating AWS Lambda functions, a dedicated URL, and an admin section in the backend. The deliverable was a user-friendly tool for setting up new products and payment pages, along with 90 days of ongoing support. We worked closely with Carlos (CEO) and Jarvy (Co-Founder), appreciating their professionalism and clear communication. Having invested $5,000 so far, our collaboration began in February 2021 and continues with new projects. Leanware's work has been excellent, ensuring our client's satisfaction and operational success. Their project management, utilizing Zulip for communication and Google Meet or Zoom for calls, has been fantastic. We are particularly impressed with their adherence to budget and clear requirements. Our experience with Leanware has been overwhelmingly positive, with no areas for improvement noted.

As the General Manager for EMEA operations and a director of the company, we sought Leanware's help to automate our payroll processes, implement API connections with clients, and develop a database and client dashboard for data analysis and reporting.

Leanware designed and developed an in-house system using Angular, Python, NodeJS, and MySQL, streamlining our business operations.

As the Managing Director of an outsource transcription service company based in the UK, we needed to replace our outdated and unstable workflow system with a modern solution. Leanware, recommended by a potential consultant, stood out for their comprehensive solutions and affordability. They designed and developed a cloud-based workflow system that includes workflow management, invoicing, timesheets, mailing, and CRM solutions. The project involved three key team members, including the CEO and developers, who were responsive, clear, and helpful.

As the co-founder and CEO of Elephant CPA, a cloud-based practice management software solution for small to medium-sized accounting firms across the United States, we needed a new development team to scale our business beyond the MVP created by another company. Leanware was recommended by our CTO, and after promising initial conversations with Carlos, we chose them for our project. Their involvement included developing custom software and enhancing our existing solutions, with a strong emphasis on security. They installed all endpoints and cybersecurity checkpoints, ensuring front- and backend security. For updates or refreshes, Leanware provided Figma mock-ups for approval before moving to development and thorough testing.

Leanware's contributions have unblocked our frontend development, enabling substantial updates every 2-3 weeks. Their project management via Slack and Jira ensures a healthy work cadence, and their proactive approach and dedication to understanding our process have been impressive.
