What Users Like The Most

  • They quickly understand our needs and provide options with the best way to approach them. Most of the other developers we have worked with just do as you tell them allowing you to make potential mistakes... Sloboda looks out for us!
  • They have always been by my side, helping me succeed.
  • Their attitude to what they do.

What Users Like The Least

  • We didn’t get into wireframes because of the cost associated with it. They were trying to help me with my budget and we skipped that. Not that it caused a problem, but it certainly created extra work that didn’t need to be done. Having a better picture of what you’re doing and what the end result will be is something they can improve on.
  • Nothing I can point out right this minute.
  • If I had any questions, we discussed them right away and chose a suitable solution, so there is nothing really critical to be improved at this point.

Skilled Ruby on Rails developer for our internal marketing system

We needed someone with expertise in Ruby on Rails, who could help us add new features and tools to our system. Luckily, we found Sloboda Studio that could provide us with a skilled specialist who knows Ruby on Rails, Angular, MySQL, and TypeScript.

We needed a Ruby on Rails developer who was good at communicating and could explain things clearly. We asked Sloboda Studio for help and they found us the right developer. They were very skilled and could handle anything we asked them to do. They were also always available to talk to us and answer our questions. Sloboda understood what we needed and found us the perfect developer. We are really happy with the work they did for us.

Sloboda Studio’s high-quality code helped automate several internal administrative processes, and they’re currently implementing security measures. The team takes a proactive approach to development, considering edge cases preemptively to identify and account for any potential challenges. Excellent communicators and are process oriented!

The greatest thing about Sloboda Studio is their experience and niche expertise.

I wasn’t actually looking for a team of developers but rather a company to partner with. That’s when I met Sloboda Studio and their CEO Pavel Obod. After getting to know Sloboda’s portfolio and expertise, we started working together on developing a project dedicated to IT niche consulting.

We needed Sloboda Studio to develop a high-speed system that would integrate payment functionality into our internal system and work seamlessly with the rest of our complex ecosystem.

The team really exceeded our expectations. They completed the project in just one week. They also stayed in touch and made decisions based on their practical experience, so you can be sure that people in Sloboda Studio know exactly what they are doing.

The greatest thing about Sloboda Studio is their experience and niche expertise. Plus, thanks to their excellent work, we were able to get results right on time. They provided excellent project management. This was especially useful for us since we needed to build clear communication and get a grasp of our technical and business goals.

If I had any questions, we discussed them right away and chose a suitable solution, so there is nothing really critical to be improved at this point.

Our great experience with Sloboda

I needed to find a company to take on a development role and work with what our previous vendor had started. We needed a web platform developed that allowed us to not only operationally improve our processes and automation but also to give our customers a unique experience that allows them a better way of ordering catering.
The challenge for us was that because we had already had been operating for seven years and had already used the third-party applications, our customers were already used to a certain process and experience. It wasn’t like we could start small with an MVP and build from there. We had to at least provide the customers with the same experience that they’ve been having or better. They developed our web platform on Ruby on Rails. They also handled some of the frontend work and the UX/UI of the platform.

We evaluated Ruby on Rails developer based on the reviews. I was concerned about the communication differences of doing something overseas. When I reached out to Sloboda Studio, they were willing to chat with me on the weekend. It’s such a little thing, but just for that alone, I fell in love with them because I don’t have time during the week. We had a good conversation with Alex. Their team analyzed our existing software and gave us good advice in how to move forward. They recognized there were some faults, but they didn’t badmouth our previous developer. They weren’t so much focused on solving the problem, but building a relationship with me, which is what I wanted. I wanted someone I could partner with.

Sloboda Studio did in four or five months what took our previous vendor over a year. Not only did they do it, but they did it very effectively, efficiently, and with great skill. There’s a lot of transparency in the way that we developed. They’re creating efficiency on operations and they’ve substantially improved the UX. They’re saving me time and money on operations. What used to take somebody an hour to do is done in five minutes. That high-level person can now turn their focus toward other business areas.

Project management is great. The projects have been group projects. One project will consist of four or five different tasks that need to be developed. Once that’s completed, we create a new project that also contains four or five different tasks. We may have switched some of the developers, but the project manager has been consistent for everything. Olga has been a part of that as well. There’s always been someone consistently overseeing what it is we’re doing. Every person that has come in to work on our platform has picked up from where the other person left off without any issues. I haven’t had to retrain anyone. It’s a completely seamless process. They’re always available to help.

One of the things that was really admirable is their humility. They didn’t criticize our previous vendor. They just said they would help us out. There was no ego. They just wanted to deliver for us. They weren’t interested in just fixing our platform but wanted to build a partnership with us.

Administrative System Creation for Commercial Product Co.

Sloboda Studio created an administrative system that displays data from a variety of devices by storing it on one server. The team also implemented an API to facilitate access to the system. We hired them to implement an administrative system that could store business statistics from a variety of devices in one server. We wanted to consolidate source data from a variety of locations so all of the information could be accessed and analyzed together. We felt comfortable working with their specialists. We knew the team effectively manages projects according to practical goals.
Sloboda Studio implemented an open source software framework to test the API before synchronizing our systems. The team then developed an administrative system to gather statistics from various devices and store the data on one server.
Sloboda Studio’s work has facilitated more educated business decisions by providing access to source data from different locations. Our analysis of that data has yielded helpful insights about client behavior.

I don’t have any notes. The team’s responsive communication supported solutions to any questions that arose during the process.

Healthcare & Medical

Flight Health is an online healthcare platform that connects doctors and patients, allowing them to keep all the information in one place, make appointments, and pay for services. Patients can pick one of the hospitals and doctors that are on the platform and get the consultation or treatment.

⠀

It empowers independent doctors with a fully integrated platform to run their practices and provide a truly modern patient experience. Their mission is to give doctors time to do what they do best: care for their patients.

⠀

Goals:

Flight Health’s founder wanted to create a platform (both web and mobile apps) where clinics could share their services and patients could select doctors from different hospitals according to their health requests. 

Another goal was to have an easy-to-use admin panel where doctors from different clinics could manage their patients and bookings.

⠀

We’ve created web and mobile applications for doctors and patients. Flight Health resembles a marketplace platform where patients can pick a doctor and keep all their data in one place. As well as doctors can store all the patients’ documents where they can access them easily.  

⠀

Flight Health is secure and uses both AthenaHealth and Stripe payment platforms to meet the needs of all doctors that use the platform. Not only practitioners like therapists, surgeons, ophthalmologists, etc., have access to Flight Health, but massage specialists and chiro practitioners can use it as well. 

⠀

As for now, four clinics that help more than 2000 patients per year in New York, USA, use Flight Health in their practice. They find new patients and keep all their health information in the Flight Health system.

Retail

Processed £1 billion worth of orders, acquired by Amazon

⠀

Veeqo is an omnichannel retail platform for various merchants. It allows you to manage your orders from multiple channels and keep track of inventory from multiple warehouses. It is possible to ship up to 100 orders in a single click and gain invaluable insights on the performance of your business.

⠀

When we first met Veeqo, they needed to expand their team, which specialized in a very niche area of expertise.

⠀

Sloboda Studio’s goal was to develop user profiles in the retailers’ system, to create orders, and to generate invoices (from the beginning stages of a transaction to the moments right before shipping).

⠀

Therefore, our main goal was to develop the client-side interface.

⠀

We've implemented:

  • Started integration of React (as a front-end solution) and Stripe (as a payment system).
  • Connected AWS Lambda to unload Veeqo’s servers
  • Used Agile Scrum, one-call engineers, and our own expertise and initiative for effective communication

⠀

Veeqo is trusted by hundreds of retail brands, including Dove, Harry Potter, Brompton, Joseph, TOG24, Lovisa, Capterra, Trustpilot, etc.

  • £1 billion worth of orders were processed through Veeqo in 2018.
  • 2015-2016: raised up to $ 2,5 million.
  • March 2019: raised over $ 4 million.

Foody is a US-based recipe marketplace that provides an opportunity for global chefs and popular culinary influencers to sell their recipes and for foodies to buy them. Nowadays, everyone who likes cooking and desires to recreate the dishes of worldwide cooking talent can simply join the platform and get inspired.

⠀

The product vision came to the founders during the COVID-19 pandemic when they tried to cook at home. It became clear that there was no ad-free platform that was entirely dedicated to discovering and storing recipes of culinary creatives.

⠀

Our client needed to create a custom software platform from scratch that will be a digital helper in the kitchen for home cooks and help influencers and chefs directly monetize their unique content.

⠀

As a result of our cooperation with Foody, a custom platform with unique visual and text content was created for everyone who likes to cook delicious meals at home. 

⠀

We have implemented the following features:

  • Registration
  • Home page
  • Profiles
  • Recipes and collections
  • Video and image uploading
  • Payments
  • Admin panel
  • Rates and reviews
  • Clickable banner
  • Autoscaling 

⠀

After the official release, the Foody platform increased its new functionality by 1.5 times.

⠀

Right before the product release, Foody raised $1.5M in the pre-seed round in November 2021. 

⠀

Our team still continues to cooperate with Foody by scaling its platform with numerous features.

Executive Interview of Sloboda Studio

Anna Bovda
Anna Bovda
CEO
Visit Profile
Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.
I am the CEO of Sloboda Studio, a leading company designing customized web and mobile applications and scaling software solutions with dedicated teams. Our team is highly skilled in real estate, marketplaces, fintech, and healthcare industries.

As the CEO, I have a wide range of responsibilities that contribute to the company's success. These include setting the vision and strategy, overseeing finances, building and managing the team, and representing the company externally.
What is the story behind starting this company?
Sloboda Studio was born out of a genuine passion for Ruby and Ruby on Rails and the will to solve complex business tasks.

In 2010, our founder, Pavlo Obod, decided it was time to create a company that would assist businesses with technical skillset.

We have grown ten times since then, successfully handling more than 200 projects over these 13 years.
What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
We offer outsourcing services to our clients. Our engineers work on a contractor’s basis receiving our company’s benefits like paid sick leaves, vacations, internal and external learning, etc.
How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?
We are highly focused on the client’s success, providing the project with our support and expertise. We’ve been on the market for more than 13 years and encountered many challenges along the way. This valuable experience we use to solve our clients' challenges, both technical and business.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?
Our company works with various industries, including Real Estate, E-commerce, FinTech, HealthTech, MarTech, and Hospitality.

Many of our clients come back to work with us, some with new projects, some with previous ones. On average, 1-2 clients return every other month to continue working on the product.
Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?
Usually, customers approach us with 2 different requests - custom product development and team augmentation. Each request has different people and types of services involved.

For example, product development involves services like UI/UX design, front-end and back-end services, DevOps, and account management.
For team augmentation, depending on the scale, it’s often some narrow technical experts, like in Ruby on Rails, Django, Java, React.js, ChatGPT, and OpenAI, etc.
What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?
