History of our cooperation with Svenn

Our cooperation with Svenn started back in 2015. The team of Svenn decided to take a trip to Ukraine to meet with potential vendors in person.

We had a great time meeting with guys, where we discussed the details of collaboration and possible ways of product development, providing business analysis consultation right away.

200+ companies from 25 countries outsourced software development to Relevant

We provide companies with senior tech talent and product development expertise to build world-class software. Let's talk about how we can help you.

So, as you already understood, from dozens of other companies, they choose us, but why? Apart from a personal connection, expertise, and charismatic team members, there were few reasons why they choose us:

• We provided business analysis consultation at the first meeting. Even in the first letter at Upwork, we asked: “Are you sure you want to build it this way?”.
• From our client’s words, we are keeping communication at a high level, and we are just pleasant to work with.
• Price. We weren’t the cheapest, but as our client said, we were just the golden mean.

Since 2015, we have provided Svenn with a dedicated team consisting of web and mobile developers, quality assurance specialists, business analysts, and project managers. In a total of 41 people from Relevant were engaged in the development of their product.

“We had the challenge to find trustworthy outsourcing companies that we could rely on. Previous attempts ended badly and we needed to find a company that had the skills, good communication and was fair on price. 

We chose Relevant Software because we felt that they understood our business needs. They are very clear in communication and they execute the projects with the same quality as if it was their own. They also come up with ideas and improvements to make sure that the solution would be as good as it could be. Give them the really challenging tasks, the ones that everyone else is struggling with, and they will get them done.”

What is the product about?

Svenn is a startup that helps construction companies with time tracking and project management. They aim to minimize inefficient routines, billing delays, and unnecessary paperwork with a platform developed for the construction industry.

It helps construction companies manage their resources, have a clear vision of the current stage of the project, create payrolls and easily export reports to files.

Read how we built a Svenn time tracking software.

Why did they choose to outsource?

Firstly, they lacked internal tech expertise to build the full-featured SaaS product. They built the first version of the product by themselves, but it was hardly scalable to what was planned.

Secondly, Norway doesn’t have so many software development specialists and it was quite challenging to assemble a team there.

And thirdly, the price, of course. Ukraine still is a cost-effective destination for outsourcing from western Europe.

The services we provided

Our dedicated team covered the whole software development part for the Svenn, while they handled the product management.

The services our client outsourced were:

• Business analysis. Our business analyst worked on detailed project documentation and consulted the team on future product and features development.
• Project management. The internal management of a dedicated team was handled by project manager on our side.
• Web development. Svenn is a SaaS product with the web version, on which our frontend and backend developers worked.
• Mobile development. The development of Android and iOS apps was handled by our senior Java and Swift developers.
• Quality assurance. As we worked on the development, we also provided Svenn with software testing services to ensure it’s released bug-free.
• DevOps. Our team set up a server and gateways monitoring system to better capacity planning and improve reliability.
