Nord Clan

We are a software engineering company. In this regard, the majority of works is performed within our development offices. However, we do practice working on the Customer site when it comes to requirement gathering, demonstrations, solution deployments, and user immersion processes.

Considering other things being equal, we bring Customer product to life faster than the rest of the field. This is possible due to the following factors: 

Eventually, treating every single customer like one of a kind is what gets us the competitive edge. We listen to our clients; manage their expectations and requirements so that at the end of the day, they receive an outstanding result.

We focus on fintech, food tech, and health care industries. The company is still young, although we have been able to accumulate a large pool of loyal customers already successfully. We grow all together in long-term partnerships and deep collaboration.  Every customer comes back to us with new tasks and projects.

It is a challenging question. Many factors and parameters are having their effect on the timeframe of developing software. First of all, we need to hear our customers out, understand his/her requirements, expectations, and due dates. Once the product, scope of works, customer expectations, and budget are clear, we would elaborate on technologies to be used further and come up with an estimated delivery date. Also, sometimes, the scope of works could change as per customer vision that will also affect the delivery time. I would always cite an analogy to my colleagues that software product is like a baby; it is changing, growing, and evolving. Most importantly, it becomes mature, just like the human counterpart, but at a different pace. You can only estimate the delivery time since there are plenty of factors that have a direct influence on it, and some of them are hidden along the way of development.

It depends on the project itself, really, so the ratio is continually changing. But the best-case scenario will be a turnkey solution that we are creating for our customers from the ground up where, I would say, up to 25-30% is taken up by the requirement processing and communication with the client and internally. Consequently, 45%-50% of time and efforts go to development (both front and back end, and the ratio varies according to project specifics), and the rest is booked for quality assurance.  Interestingly, there are cases where we can significantly increase development pace and shorten time to market the product if there are appropriate ready solutions or modules used for the backend.  A unique front end that is adapted for customer’s design and user experience is always an integral part of any project.

There are three significant aspects. First is infrastructure, technology stack that is already in use on the client-side, and the in-house team expertise. The second aspect is the search and validation of ready solutions used as an integral part of the entire product (such as CRM, TMS, BI, our modules, and algorithms). Also, Integration difficulty evaluation. The third aspect: the selection of the frameworks is determined by the pace and ease of development, available community that maintains and expands it.

Java Spring, NET Core, React, React Native, and QA expertise is what makes Nord Clan stand out in this highly competitive environment and covers pretty much any requirement of our customers.

We always have a friendly and honest talk with Customer to find out their budget requirements and then proceed with elaborating on the solution.  It is a well-known fact that clients aim for to be operating within their budget and feel comfortable. Once that budget is determined, we provide them with options as to what they can expect.

On the other hand, we are able to manage Customer’s expectations and shift their focus to costs that matter most and will benefit the product and business.

Payment structure varies from project to project and should be liaised with customers before the development begins. However, there are two significant approaches within Nord Clan:
1) Time and Material basis. It is a widely known and common practice for the industry. The customer gets billed for the actual time our development team spends on the project.
2) We break the entire project down to milestones, which, consequently, gets approved by the customer. Afterward, payment is projected for every milestone.

We are always open for any opportunities, so we process every request with care. However, we are focusing on projects within $35,000 - $ 1 000,000 USD range.

The minimum and maximum price range for the projects of the past year was between $35,000 - $500,000.
