Co-founder & CEO at Validify

Our client reached out to us with a vision for a platform to simplify vendor management. Our developers conceptualized how the pieces would fit together and built Validify from the ground up.

The team developed a web platform from scratch and established a peer review system for unbiased recommendations from others who have used the products and services. With a focus on humanizing technology selection, our developers made sure Validify is a hassle-free, low-pressure experience.

Key challenges:

Sophisticated and complex DB design in order to guarantee the best performance and scalability of the product.
Handling sophisticated data fetching.
A carefully curated database of B2B technologies.
Multi-role support.

Work approach

SCRUM

To ensure a successful outcome, we adopted the SCRUM framework for Validify's development. SCRUM allowed us to break down the project into smaller, manageable tasks called sprints. Each sprint had a specific goal and time frame, ensuring that progress was made in a structured and efficient manner. Regular meetings and constant communication with the client helped us stay aligned with their expectations and allowed for quick adjustments when necessary. The SCRUM approach proved instrumental in delivering a high-quality software solution that met all the client's requirements.
Long-lasting development cooperation

Our collaboration with the client on Validify didn't end with its initial release. We have provided ongoing development services for this project for over five years. This long-lasting partnership is a testament to the success and value of our cooperation.
Work with database and data quality

One of the core components of Validify is its robust database management system. Our development team worked tirelessly to design and implement a scalable and efficient database architecture that could handle the client's vast amounts of data. We also implemented advanced data quality measures to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information stored in the database. Our team's expertise in database management and data quality played a vital role in making Validify a reliable and trusted tool.
UX/UI Design

By considering how people interact with the platform, we build a perceptive solution that just makes sense — with a focus on users, simplicity, and streamlining, our design team worked to create an engaging experience on Validify. We conducted research to gain insights into both retailers' and vendors' needs and preferences. Based on feedback, we made ongoing improvements to optimize the user experience.

Process

Building Validify presented unique challenges that required our development team to think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions. We approached problem-solving with a systematic and analytical mindset, breaking down complex issues into manageable tasks.

Our design process for Validify aimed to simplify vendor discovery and selection. It began with user research, including surveys, interviews, and testing, to understand user needs and pain points. Using these insights, we created an intuitive information architecture and user flow to facilitate easy vendor comparison. Our team developed wireframes to visualize the platform's layout and features. After that, the design specifications were handed over to the development team and released on the platform.
Creating a comprehensive software solution like Validify requires expertise in both frontend and backend development. Our development team consists of skilled full-stack developers who possess a deep understanding of various technologies and frameworks. This allowed us to build Validify from the ground up, ensuring that all components seamlessly integrate with each other. Our full-stack development approach enabled us to deliver a cohesive and user-friendly software solution to our client.
