Cleveroad

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I have my own concert agency in the Czech Republic. I’m the CEO of my company, and I really love my job. I organize various events like concerts, festivals, parties, and so on.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Cleveroad?

My work allows me to meet some famous people and even communicate with them. But there was one disadvantage—the ad distribution via other websites was not so effective. I realized that I needed an app that will notify people in my city about upcoming events. Using this app, I can really draw much more people than I used to. So, I needed one mobile app for the Android operating system, which I was planning to distribute for free. It was much more important for me to draw in visitors. I am organizing events ranging from opera concerts to rock festivals, so the target audience could be rather large.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Since my app idea wasn’t difficult, Cleveroad told me that it won’t take much time to develop it.  After just five days, they sent me prototypes of my future app. I approved it, and they continued working. The company made everything, starting from building wireframes to releasing the app to the Google Play Store.

How did you come to work with Cleveroad?

I have cooperated with web developers before when I ordered to build the website of my concert agency and tickets booking service. But when they created the website, I took some notes and asked the company to amend some features.

It was now my task to find a mobile app development company that can make an advertising app at an affordable price but with good quality. An idea occurred to me—why not find a company in neighboring countries? Having researched the market, I came across one experienced Ukrainian company named Cleveroad. I found many good reviews about this company, so I made the decision to hire them.

How much have you invested with Cleveroad?

The cost was $10,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?   

The development process started in March of 2017, and the app is now in testing mode.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

It took four weeks to develop my app. When I started using the app for the first time, it was really amazing—it was exactly what I wanted! The app absolutely met my requirements. Now, I can notify more people about the events I organize in my city. The app has a nice-looking user interface and a helpful user experience. I know that my fellow citizens will always be aware of the entertaining life of my city. They can share all that info with their friends and make bookmarks. I will also be using this app for systematizing all of the events.
