Custom Software Development for Financial Platform

Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the founder of the platform called Kamino.
Challenges the platform is solving for? It gives access to the right information, to the right people, in the project finance processes. Most companies rely on an accounting software that allows for little front office visibility or collaboration. Sales teams rely on CRMs, but their data is not bridged efficiently to finance and accounting. Lots of effort and valuable resources are spent here with poor, outdated results.
Who is it for? Made for B2B professional service- businesses such as Marketing, Talent, Architecture, IT firms.
What does it do? It provides project-based orgs the set of tools needed to understand and control their project finances. Manage your entire project cycle, from sales activities to cash flow management in one collaborative system.
How does it do it? Kamino is an innovative web-based platform with workflows, dashboards and reporting via a seamless integration with your accounting software.
Why using Kamino? Scalability without compromising on the best financial practices.
For what projects/services did your company hire Consensus, and what were your goals?
Consensus was hired to develop the platform from scratch. The objective was to build the MVP within a specific budget and timeline while maximizing the value for the future clients of the platform. The goal from a user standpoint was to have the best user experience as possible.
How did you select Consensus and what were the deciding factors?
Consensus was a great choice given these factors: - Price vs value - Timezone - Entrepreneurship level - Product ownership
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
The platform went thru the normal stages of a project (discovery, design, dev, testing, releases). We use an agile methodology and sprints. We use .net.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
The team size fluctuated a lot during the mandate. Currently, we have this core team (PM/PO, Senior Back-end Dev/PL, Senior Front-End Dev, Automation Developer, Full Stack Dev, QA tester).
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
We were able to launch the Beta version of the platform in January with most of the features working. The team was successful in replicating the user experience we designed originally.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
We use Teams and DevOps to communicate and manage timelines, resources and prioritization.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Direct access to the resources. Be able to get feedback from the Dev on specific technical issues and recommendations from a front end standpoint as well. Also, their great product ownership during the development made the platform better.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Building more automation from the start of the project (testing). Manage timelines and expectations better as well. Turnover of resources delayed the development of some features as well.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m an IT systems manager at a national bank with branches all over the country.
What challenges were you trying to address with Consensus?
We have two main projects with them, the first one is related to outsourcing services. For the second project, they’re helping us develop two digital platforms.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They provide us with highly skilled IT staff. One is related to our risks and regulatory processes, the second one is a business intelligence platform for management and process automation.
What is the team composition?
We are working with about 20 people as outsourced staff, and about 40 people are working on our development projects.
How did you come to work with Consensus?
We had a licitation process. They were selected because they provided greater agility and other benefits that would allow us to grow our team rapidly and with reasonable costs.
How much have you invested in them?
We’ve spent about 2 million dollars since the beginning of our collaboration.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in 2009 or 2010, and it is a continuous collaboration.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
One of the platforms they developed for us allowed us to have better processes of compliance with regulations. We have reduced a long process to something that can be done with just a couple of clicks. As for the management platform it has allowed us to lower costs and to improve processes and save time, in addition to allowing us to have organized and precise information.
How did Consensus perform from a project management standpoint?
They are very precise and have a strong methodology. They are always one step ahead and have great quality standards.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We keep on choosing them after all these years because of the high quality of their work and their great time to market. They help us solve issues related to the market in record time and with great quality.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can’t think of anything now. We are often meeting up and finding solutions to any issues that might come up.
While the project is still in the beta-testing stage, the client believes that they're heading in the right direction. Consensus's willingness to deliver above expectations and project management skills has impressed the client thus far.
