SimbirSoft

SmartPrice is a Russian startup. Our main goal is to provide our users with easy and flexible way for buying and selling pre-owned smartphones. We’re sure that electronics can have second life and we’re making people happy with hi-end mobile devices for the lesser price.

I am a CPO at SmartPrice and right now I’m responsible for our internal products (CRM) and our websites.

By the end of the summer we have already implemented two websites ringeo.ru and smartprice.ru and started receiving requests from our customers. We decided to build our own CRM system, and made very simple implementation of it. There was a need in a team, that will be able to improve our CRM and make it more useful and convenient.

This challenge we addressed to SimbirSoft. They were glad to provide us with two Python/Django specialists, one template designer, two React developers, QAA, and DevOps specialists. The main things I appreciate in developers are responsibility and intelligence. They think about the whole product, not only about a separate tasks, so our working process is quite effective.

I was also pleased with SimbirSoft flexibility. They are ready to organize project management in the way we need. As far as we are startup, we change our processes regularly, so our requirements to our CRM system change frequently. That’s why I decided to manage development process by myself to be in touch with developers and correct our process on the fly, and it was possible with SimbirSoft.

We’re glad to have such partner as SimbirSoft, and I can recommend this company to work with.

ADAMAS is one of the biggest jewelry retail networks in Russia.

At the beginning of 2017 we started a big project focused on making our CMS and ERP faster, more user friendly and much more reliable. We hired SimbirSoft to help us with it.

There were set two major tasks — to give our site a new look that would hit it out of the park and to retain all the advantages of an progressive online store.

SimbirSoft dedicated development center involved a layout designer, three frontend developers, a DevOps engineer, a quality assurance specialist and an account manager.

We started with authorization improvements, updating social networks sharing buttons and ended up with SEO optimization and implementation of a completely new functionality for Personal Account.

The development process was organized as clear as possible. Every day we would call up to discuss progress on tasks. During the day the SimbirSoft team would be in touch in Skype chat and respond to our questions promptly. We also had a common dashboard in a tasktracker, which they kept updated every day. So we could track the current project status at any given point of time.

One of the tricky issues we faced with was managing tags on our website. In order not to post a bunch of scripts from different manufacturers (Yandex Metric, Google analytics, etc.) to the site, we hooked up the Digital Data Manager which transmits statistics to the necessary services by itself.
Another challenge had to do with our decision to take some features into development when the deadline was just around the corner. Here’s when SimbirSoft proved that our needs are their top priority. They strengthened the team and all the planned features were implemented.

The new website was successfully released on June 22, 2018.

We have set ourselves a task to remake the site for Rosbank in accordance with the basic principles of the new Societe Generale group brand platform "The future is you" and to create an effective channel of interaction for customers.

Several IT companies worked on the development of the new Rosbank website in cooperation with the Bank's inhouse team. Key contractors included SimbirSoft, Oleg Chulakov's Studio and Red Collar. SimbirSoft participated in backend and frontend development, as well as quality assurance.

Together with SimbirSoft we have built the project management basing on Scrum methodology. To ensure a fast and transparent development process, we distributed tasks over short two-week sprints. Thanks to SimbirSoft, we were able to improve communication and provide for all the difficulties associated with the interaction of outsourcing teams. This helped us to control the quality of the product at all stages of development.

The most inspiring thing about SimbirSoft is its extensive expertise in fintech solutions, careful organization of work processes from the very first day of cooperation, timeliness and attention to detail. Our partners were always in touch, took the initiative, tried to make the best product and made suggestions for the development.

We are totally satisfied with the SimbirSoft work and we will continue to cooperate with them to support our website and for its further development.

We would like to thank SimbirSoft for the flexible approach and proficiency in the development of our products. Together, we released several solutions. Cesar Home application was completely redesigned and new graphical aesthetics achieved. In close partnership with SimbirSoft, we developed Cesar Car application - our flagship product. We also conducted a UX/UI audit, as a result new recommendations for the improvement were made available. To prove our partnership successful Cesar Home clinched 2nd place only trailing to fellow Cesar Car application (award-winning) as per Tagline Award 2018. SimbirSoft is definitely a reliable and flexible partner, who we would recommend for your development needs.

SimbirSoft team are not just the developers for us, but full members of our Qampus team, who constantly offer and implement great ideas to improve the product. This IT company assumes the team management work, providing us with the opportunity to focus on our product and its concept.
We highly appreciate our cooperation with SimbirSoft because the company always meets deadlines, clearly manages the development processes, takes a responsible approach to the quality of work, and has a wide expertise in UX and CustDev – our partners are able to offer hypotheses of product use and successfully test them.
Together we developed Qampus. It helped us to make the process of training more convenient, as well as to automate the operations with paid educational courses. As the result in 2019 the number of trained employees has increased by 3 times! The project won the annual award "Innovation Time-2019" in the category "Innovation of the year in the corporate education" and appeared to be so successful that the company developed an independent SaaS service on its basis.

We have been working for a while with SimbirSoft to develop a web application named “Financial Absolute” for the Summer camp for children. As Qiwi provides international payment services, we are interested in educating children in terms of managing finances. That’s why we decided to create this game.

This project was complex and interesting at the same time. We had a tight deadline - only a month to develop an application with a game panel for children and an administration panel for game technicians. In a nutshell, children were grouped into “families”, received regular payments, bills, bought goods and got “points of happiness”. The goal of this game is to become the happiest family at the camp.

SimbirSoft did their best to develop this game. It seemed impossible to create the application for one month but their team successfully managed to do it! Moreover, they met a halfway between our Qiwi team and the game designers to determine the set of features that is enough to make the game interesting for the campers and launch it in time. The SimbirSoft team is really great at what they do.
