MLSDev Inc. Executive Interview

MLSDev is a web and mobile app development agency based in Ukraine. The company was founded in 2009. Now MLSDev has more than 60 employees and four offices: Kyiv and Vinnytsia (Ukraine), Krakow (Poland), and Denver (USA).
MLSDev's mission is to unlock the potential of clients' businesses through the use of innovative technologies. We try to cover all clients' needs, analyze all their requirements and offer the best possible solutions to their ideas.
Besides, it was the perfect time to enter the market that was only emerging in Ukraine and showed high growth rates. We managed to develop very fast especially when the competition was low.
In such cases, we ask them to quit such dreams at the very beginning of our communication and then do our best to show our clients a better way. This could be targeting other industries that face lots of problems and require an excellent app to solve them, or taking a particular niche — or even developing apps using innovative technologies like blockchain, machine learning, etc. Our goal is to lead clients to a more successful blue ocean strategy.
We are not interested in earning money from clones that will die in the face of fierce competition. Our goal is to help clients grow successful products that will become examples to follow. We are a company that doesn't ask what to do next and blindly follow all the instructions. We are proactive and always offer solutions to clients’ needs and requirements. This approach makes us stand out from the majority of companies that are looking for immediate income but don't think about further actions after the release.
For example, healthcare experiences various issues with data collection, centralized storage, and security. Databases are not protected from data breaches and fraud, which could result in bad experiences for patients and doctors. Some solutions can solve these problems partially, but we would like to dig deeper into this matter to create revolutionary products that could deal with them altogether.
It will take some time and effort to solve all of the current issues about collecting, storing, and using data. So, our company is exploring available innovative solutions for the same. We are 100% sure that MLSDev will take an active part in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Due to structural and process changes, over the past few years, we have increased the number of satisfied clients from 57% to 82%. Plus, 15% of all our referral requests turn into closed deals.
Once we understand what should be implemented, we assemble a project team that validates and estimates all the tasks and plans project development thoroughly right from the start. As a result, we know how much time it will take for the team to build the product and how much it will cost.
Talking about product development in the existing circumstances, time is one of the critical factors that determine a product's success. If you are working on an idea for more than 5-6 months, and have come up with competitor analysis and a business plan for the same, there are cent percent chances that a new player has already entered your domain.
When we work with startups precarious in nature, we recommend having an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) version that can be ready within three months after the development start.
If we talk about ongoing products where you don't need to validate ideas, it is not easy to define deadlines. They can be extended but not significantly. Based on our own experience, we think that the first working prototype should be ready in 4-6 months.
To ensure high quality, we try not to spread ourselves too thin. Thus we help clients to choose only between iOS and Android.
For example, we have a marketplace that works with customers from the USA and producers from South Africa. At the stage of market analysis, it turns out that 62% of Americans use iOS devices while in South Africa 78.2% of citizens use Android phones. To reach more users, it will be logically to make the iOS app for customers and the Android app for producers.
This example describes roughly how we work with our clients to choose the right platform for their apps.
We were limited by the cross-platform tools and could not fix all those issues properly. As a result, we quit hybrid app development for good.
It may seem that hybrid apps are cheaper to develop, but it is true only in the early stage. In the longer run, when it comes to full-scale product support, the difference in time and money levels off.
Now we offer only native app development services. We build mobile apps for iOS and Android. From the technical perspective, native apps win in everything as compared to hybrid apps. Native apps are characterized by flawless performance, great UX/UI design, good interaction with a device, better security, and reliability, ability to operate offline. Such an approach allows for the integration of sophisticated features, and developers always have access to up-to-date SDK and tools.
Talking about ongoing projects, the first version of a product may require a bigger budget.
In 2018, the price ranges were as follows:
● The budget for the Discovery stage varied from $3k to $20k.
● Development of the first version of an MVP cost from $20k to $70k.
● Budgets for ongoing projects were from $100k to $500k.
Considering the projects we work on, we have been implementing advertisement model, freemium + subscription-based model, etc.
