Alexey Khursevich
CEO
Visit Profile
Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.
Solvd is a global technology consultancy and software engineering company with over 600 engineers located across eight countries in Latin America, North America, and Europe. Solvd services Fortune 500 clients across several high-growth industries, which include fintech, retail, media and entertainment, software, and health and wellness. Solvd is headquartered in Roseville, CA, and has seven development centers in Ukraine, Poland, Georgia, Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico and a sales office in Hungary.

By now, Solvd has become a global reliable IT partner that is trusted to resolve different tasks, no matter their technical complexity, to exceed the expectations of our clients and create win-win values.
What is the story behind starting this company?
Once a local startup, it’s now a multi-million corporation with offices and R&D in 7 countries. Solvd, Inc. was founded by software engineers who grew into top managers. So they gradually transformed Solvd into a global company within which they developed ten years of IT business experience.

Solvd has now become an international company with more than 600 employees distributed worldwide. Thanks to the combined effort of our employees, global business has become more technological, functional, and accurate. Products and solutions created by Solvd win the trust of brands of different scales and industries – from Under Armor and Starbucks to Stanford Medical School and Nerdwallet. It has converted to 200+ million users from all over the world.
What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
We center our engagement models toward the individual business scope and goals of each of our clients. So we offer fixed price, time and materials or a dedicated team mode for cooperation.
How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?
Solvd is for people and about people, so the management priority rests on two principles.

First, we strive to understand the business of each client as our own. We are continuously searching for how every client can do business better with Solvd. Building long-term partnerships with customers is a top priority of our management. We choose quality instead of quantity.

Besides, we engage in our proprietary educational initiative called Solvd.Laba. Our best tutors teach quality assurance, test automation, and JavaScript development in these courses. They share knowledge and train in skills applicable to real-life projects. 80% of students become Solvd’s employees after course graduation.

Niche, functionality, technology, reliability, and accuracy — I would use these words to describe Solvd.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?
Solvd services Fortune 500 clients across several high-growth industries, which include fintech, retail, media and entertainment, software, and health and wellness.
Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?
Solvd has built a core competency in Software QA and Test Automation Consulting. Our solutions have broadened to include Custom App Development, DevOps, AR / VR Development, Business Analysis, Project Management, and MVP Development, among other solutions, the provision of which we have initiated to meet our client’s growing needs.
What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?
As for customer satisfaction, it merits mentioning why our clients value us:
  • They appreciate the competence of Solvd’s engineers, their high professionalism, productivity, and motivation to create good software.
  • Our proactive and responsive project management and communication with clients is key.
  • Our clients treat a team from Solvd as an integral part of their teams — we work caring about the product.
So our partners and clients recognize Solvd as a reliable partner who can consistently meet deadlines and quality expectations.
What kind of support system do you offer to your clients for catering to their queries and issues?
For each of our clients, we provide highly experienced Client Success Managers. Those positions speak for themselves. They took care of all requests and needs of our clients, built robust communication channels, and set up work infrastructure for efficient work and easy onboarding. Our Client Success Managers adapt their working schedule to our client’s usual schedule and ensure we can cover all critical requests in a timely manner.
What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)
For 95% of all projects, it’s a time and material basis engagement and monthly or bimonthly billing. The rest 5% is a fixed price billed in milestones.
Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?
The minimum project budget is $50k, but we carefully review the projects and prioritize those with a higher potential for growing our engagement.
What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2021?
Min $10k. Max $10mln+.
Where do you see your company in the next 10 years?
What we’ve learned from the last few years is not to make and rely on long-term plans too much. That being said, I clearly envision Solvd going forward as a powerful and growing player in the IT service market that provides end-to-end solutions for tens and tens of Fortune 500 companies. Given our ambitions to grow by at least 30% annually, we expect to onboard approximately 10,000 employees by around the year 2030.
Solvd’s delivery network will be well-balanced and diverse, with offices all over the world, including hybrid offices in the USA, LATAM, Asia, and Europe. We will define business domains to focus on, and as always, we’ll make our best effort to provide the highest quality solutions to our clients.

Solvd assisted online tool developer WaysToMe with creating an online tool for designing web cards for both private and professional matters. Their built-in constructor allows users to create cards quickly by providing various design options. Cards contain a user's bio, contact info and links that make sharing them easier. 

The client came to us for web app development services. Their goal was to develop a web application from the ground up that could support the latest versions of Chrome and Safari.

Our team of professionals integrated the app with PayPal, which helped streamline the checkout process. The integration we implemented with another third-party service, Twilio, facilitated card sharing via SMS. 

Our team maintained effective and clear communication with the client the whole step of the way. We managed to factor in the many ongoing change requests throughout the process without overcomplicating the app.

WaysToMe noted our professionalism, ease of communication and passion for what we do. They also gave us kudos for our thorough and transparent budget planning process while offering reasonable rates. 

Technologies: React, PostgreSQL, Node.js, NestJs, PayPal, Aws, Nginx, Twilio and Docker.

One of our world-renowned fintech clients, NerdWallet, needed to build a QA department from scratch and set up the test automation infrastructure.

As a provider of QA Testing services, Solvd's task was to reduce the client's manual team workload by automating tests for both web and mobile applications. In addition, we had to verify that the existing apps' functionality was stable.

Our team of 24 QA and test automation engineers joined the client's in-house effort to help complete the project successfully. It was a challenge to meet the rigid security requirements of this fintech app. For testing purposes, our team had to simulate varied user behavior and interactions with third-party services.

We also created a mobile cloud using Solvd's MCloud solution, specifically for the NerdWallet project. This cloud allowed us to execute the continuous testing of mobile apps faster. We developed special scripts and tested them on large projects to ensure that everything was functioning correctly. 

As a result, we helped NerdWallet increase ROI dramatically. Our engineers automated 95% of all test cases, achieved 90% in regression coverage, and we helped get the test pass rate up to 98% for web and 90% for mobile apps. 

Technologies: Selenium, TestNG, Appium, Atera, Plaid, Charles, Postman, Yodlee, Ansible, TestRail, Docker, Selenoid and Slack.

Review Summary

I am Steve Newcomb, CEO & Founder of Famous. This review is for Solvd, Inc. We utilized Solvd services for both our QA and for staff augmentation on our engineering team. They enabled us to have 24 hour/day bug checking and bug resolution and were an essential part of our team. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with their services, management, and quality of staff. If you are looking for a trusted partner to augment or outsource your QA or bug engineering, I highly recommend Solvd, Inc. Their service quality is excellent, technical ability is solid, and their management staff was a true partner for Famous.

Overall, I give them the highest recommendation - meaning I'd hire them every time.

What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?

Solvd got up to speed rapidly and was able to add staff as our needs grew.

What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?

I'd like it if they had some more senior engineers to work on some of our bigger features and systems engineering - possible some dev ops folks as well.
