TH-EY was extremely helpful in ensuring the success of our projects.

TH-EY was instrumental in the success of our project, demonstrating flexibility and creativity throughout. We partnered with TH-EY to identify prototype goals, user groups, and MVP requirements before starting the wireframe prototype. Despite the challenging two-week deadline, they made it easy to meet our goals. The prototype was clickable and functional enough for potential customer presentations, exceeding our expectations.

The daily meetings with the UX designer ensured continuous review and alignment. Their smooth communication allowed the project to progress quickly. The client was very pleased with the outcome, noting how TH-EY knew the right questions to ask, worked efficiently, and adjusted flexibly where needed.

TH-EY's proof of concept has been deployed successfully, allowing us to take on more complicated projects from customers. The project involved creating a lightweight, easily customizable dashboard solution that could be adjusted for individual client needs. The service included deploying the software to my AWS account and providing a "How to" document, along with ongoing support.

The founder gathered all the project requirements and delivered the solution seamlessly. Communication was conducted through emails and Google Meetups, and the project was executed smoothly within a matter of days. TH-EY's diligence to stay within the project's limits, without sacrificing quality, stood out. They managed the workflow efficiently over a short time period and against a tight budget.

We had direct access to multiple team members, and they were always transparent about timelines and costs.

We had direct access to multiple team members, and they were always transparent about timelines and costs.

TH-EY successfully delivered the app as specified and before the deadline, receiving positive feedback from the client. When we came to TH-EY, we had an idea of what the application should do and initial wireframes. The TH-EY team quickly iterated through the build items, releasing the app regularly to gather feedback. As a result of our feedback, some application features were changed or modified, resulting in an app closer to our initial vision.

The technologies used included Java with Spring framework, React Native, and a MySQL database, with everything deployed to the AWS cloud. We communicated mostly with their mobile team lead and occasionally with their CEO. They completed the initial phase of the project ahead of schedule.

One key feature was a review function that required us to authorize reviews before they went live to ensure compliance with our guidelines. This was completed quickly and at a low cost, significantly benefiting our conversations with our hospitality clients. Most of our communication was through Slack and email.

Every member of the team was highly experienced and able to find elegant solutions for complex technical requirements.

Working with TH-EY has significantly improved the speed and efficiency of our company's internal processes. They have executed multiple small automation projects that involved connecting various APIs, such as Salesforce, Xero, and Uptime Robot. The primary technology used for these projects was AWS Lambda for asynchronous scripting. Additionally, TH-EY has collaborated on other projects where I served as a connector between TH-EY and other companies.

Their approach to each project has been meticulous and well-organized, ensuring that all solutions are both effective and elegant. Direct communication with the programmers involved has fostered a positive and productive partnership. The ability to speak directly to the developers has streamlined the process, allowing for quick adjustments and clarifications as needed.

The impact of TH-EY's work is evident in the faster and more efficient internal processes we now enjoy. The automation scripts and small applications they developed have seamlessly integrated into our workflow, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors. Their expertise in handling complex technical requirements with grace and precision has been particularly impressive.

TH-EY is the best development company I’ve ever worked with.

Our partnership with TH-EY has been nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, their team conducted an in-depth analysis of our company to fully grasp our business needs and problems. This analytical approach has ensured that their solutions are always well-informed and highly effective. Initially, TH-EY contributed to both frontend and backend development, but their role has since shifted to focus primarily on backend work, while our in-house designer handles the design and wireframe aspects.

We work closely with Wojciech (CEO) and two full-time developers, with additional support from a frontend UX designer when needed. Communication with TH-EY is seamless, facilitated through email and Slack, with weekly calls to review progress, plan upcoming tasks, and address any issues. Additionally, we often have demos throughout the week to showcase new features and completed work.

TH-EY genuinely feels like an extension of our in-house team. Their dedication to understanding our business and adding value to our software development is unparalleled. Despite having worked with large development companies in the past, TH-EY stands out for their deep understanding of our problems and their innovative approach to solving them. They consistently think outside the box and strive to find more efficient ways to achieve our goals.

Their availability and transparency are commendable, making project management smooth and stress-free. The team’s ability to resolve issues and implement solutions quickly and effectively has been a significant asset to our projects. I’m continually impressed with how they contribute to overcoming our business challenges and their proactive approach to improving our processes.

TH-EY delivered all required features plus extras, providing excellent value with quick and efficient work.

Our collaboration with TH-EY was highly successful. We approached them with initial drafts of the design and a basic idea of how the application should function. They promptly provided an initial estimation and scope of work, which we agreed upon and signed the contract to begin. The process began with design followed by coding, with the entire project managed through Jira and broken down into tasks. Within a week, we gained access to the platform and were able to test the features as they were developed step by step. The technologies used included Java with Spring framework, React, and MySQL, all deployed to the AWS cloud.

Throughout the project, communication was smooth and efficient. We primarily communicated with both company founders, who managed the project, along with three additional developers. Our interactions were conducted through Slack, Jira, and Miro, supplemented by email correspondence.

TH-EY not only developed all the features outlined in the initial estimation but also incorporated additional features based on our feedback. Although we are still before the official launch, the platform meets our needs perfectly.

TH-EY delivered on time, within budget, and with excellent quality, showing unwavering commitment to our project results.

Our experience with TH-EY was exceptional from start to finish. Initially contacted by a representative on LinkedIn, we were impressed by their small, dedicated team and their competitive pricing and quality. With an initial concept of what we needed, we provided TH-EY with details of our current workflow. After a few workshops, they presented us with wireframes that illustrated the end product along with detailed estimates. These wireframes were instrumental for our branding team to create the final designs. Once the designs were ready, we signed the contract, and development began.

TH-EY used Java with Spring framework, React, and Microsoft SQL Server, deploying everything to the Azure cloud. Communication was seamless, primarily through Slack and emails, with regular updates and feedback sessions with one of the founders. The involvement of two dedicated developers ensured that the project stayed on track.

Deliverables were consistently on time, within budget, and of outstanding quality. The thorough preparation in defining results, technical opportunities, and challenges set the foundation for a successful collaboration and excellent end results.

Hatchpad – Lead generation and document signing for student lettings

Hatchpad is a lead generation and management platform designed specifically for student housing letting agencies. It streamlines the entire process, from capturing leads on the agency's website or through third-party platforms like RightMove to finalizing the contract and processing the deposit payment.

The application features a website widget that allows potential tenants to add properties to a ‘basket’ for viewing. This basket is then coordinated with an agent’s calendar to schedule a convenient viewing time. Additionally, the platform includes a chat function for direct communication with agents.

Leads can also be generated through RightMove by utilizing an intermediary email inbox to parse RightMove emails, effectively matching leads with suitable agents.

On the administrative side, Hatchpad offers integration with DocuSign, facilitating the contract signing process and deposit collection seamlessly.

Web platform that allows filing dormant company accounts by the owners, directly to Companies House in under 2 minutes.

In the UK, every company doesn’t matter if it’s active or dormant, every year must file their account to the Companies House. You can do it through your accountant, or with a dedicated online service. But the problem is, that all the services are dedicated to the active companies, which makes the form much more complicated than for the dormant companies.

This is where just dormant accounts steps in, and handle the difficulty.
The platform provides the most minimal form to be filled, additionally pulling the data straight from the Companies House API, to make the process even easier.

For a fraction of the accountant’s rate, you can file your dormant company online and have it done within minutes.

From the technical perspective, we’ve built a web application with React.js and the AWS-based back-office.
The interesting parts of the application were:

integration with Companies house API – as any government API, it wasn’t easy. Handling the XML’s, and going back and forth with the support, was a challenge.
integration with Stripe
backend built on AWS Lambdas
micro database added in AWS DynamoDB – non-relational database, which was needed in the process.

"The app was successfully up and running, serving real clients. TH-EY managed the project well and collaborated clearly via virtual meetings and email. Customers can expect a team with excellent listening skills." Director, Dormant Account Filing Platform

Urbanite – discover London’s pubs and restaurants

Urbanite is a cross-platform mobile app for pub and restaurant exploration, offering an extensive list of venues in London and beyond.

How did it start?

The idea of Urbanite came to fruition pre-pandemic when the founders were sitting in a pub on London Bridge, with friends, thinking about heading to Soho to continue the night.

The discussion happened of Where to go?
Would they be able to get in?
What was on?
Was it worth the trek?

TH-EY solution

TH-EY were faced with the challenge of building an app which would answer those questions with minimal info about the design and a very tight budget. We choose to use the cross-platform framework React. Native as a mobile technology to write the code once and deploy to iOS and Android at once. This helped us minimise the cost of development and satisfy all client’s requirements. Along with a simple admin panel and backend hosted in the AWS cloud, we built a comprehensive solution for pub & restaurant discovery without exceeding the budget.

App features

• Easy Searching and Filtering system
• Map with venues
• Restaurants and pubs Rating System
• Booking system
• Info about live events
• Admin panel for user & venue management

“We had direct access to multiple team members, and they were always transparent about timelines and costs.” Leanne Kehoe

M01 – Complete restaurant management system

M01 is a complete restaurant management system that combines a POS, and two ways for venue customers to order: a mobile app and a web plugin.

Project Overview:

Embarking on a transformative journey, we partnered with M01 to develop a comprehensive restaurant management system titled M01. This unique platform amalgamates a POS system with innovative customer ordering options through a mobile app and web plugin, catering to both iOS and Android users. Initially envisioned as a digital menu for a cocktail bar, the project evolved into a versatile application serving multiple restaurants, addressing the intricacies of order processing, delivery, and marketing within the hospitality industry.

Common Surface – Web app for managing hybrid work

Project Overview:

We embarked on a project with Common Surface, a B2B SaaS company, to develop a web application for hybrid working environments. Our journey started with drafting an initial scope and estimate, followed by a design and discovery phase that culminated in creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). As the project received further investment, we transitioned from the MVP to a platform enriched with advanced features, including a sophisticated scheduling tool that allowed employees to manage their office and remote work more effectively.

Challenges & Objectives:

The primary challenge was creating a platform that facilitates hybrid working—a relatively novel concept pre-pandemic. The initial goal was to devise an algorithm for scheduling work locations, considering the limitations of office space vs. employee count. As client needs evolved, the project expanded to include interactive features such as absence management, event scheduling, and enhanced authentication, alongside technological hurdles like calendar integration and rate-limit issues.

Our objectives were:
- Develop a custom web application for simplified hybrid work planning.
- Integrate advanced features for comprehensive scheduling.
- Ensure the platform's performance and scalability.
- Maintain user-friendly design and efficient coding practices.

Solution:

The project began with the development of an MVP within three months by two developers. This initial phase laid the groundwork for a functional hybrid work management solution. Following the successful MVP presentation and investment, the team scaled to 13 members to accommodate the development of additional features.

Significant milestones included:
- Transitioning from Kanban to Scrum for improved velocity and structure.
- Implementing notable features such as OAuth authentication, HR platform integrations, and calendar synchronizations.
- Incorporating advanced analytics and support tools like Cumul.io and Intercom, and utilizing AWS for serverless services and queue management.

Result:

The final product was a comprehensive scheduling platform that effectively addressed hybrid working challenges. Despite its discontinuation due to competition, the project ran successfully for almost three years, receiving positive client feedback for its functionality and the team's responsiveness.

Client Review:

Our client appreciated the platform's capabilities and our team's efficiency, highlighting the successful development of requested features and our flexibility in adding new functionalities. The project management was streamlined through tools like Slack and Jira, ensuring transparent and effective communication.

Project Significance:

This project was not only a testament to our ability to develop a highly functional and well-received product but also a significant learning opportunity. It fostered growth, improved processes, and led to the creation of a platform that effectively solved the challenge it aimed to address.

Final Thoughts:

Working on the Common Surface project was an enriching experience marked by challenges, innovation, and collaboration. It demonstrated our capacity to adapt to evolving client needs and navigate technological complexities, leaving us with valuable insights and a stronger foundation for future projects.

Executive Interview of TH-EY

Wojciech Soczynski

CEO

Visit Profile

Kindly share your feedback on how GoodFirms has been doing so far in increasing your visibility among potential clients.

Clients come to us by searching the GoodFirms website for software development companies. We had a few leads from your website, none of them successful, unfortunately.

Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the company?

We are “TH-EY” (pronounced THEY). Our mission is to help our clients achieve greatness by providing tailored software solutions and consulting services.

I am the founder and CEO/CTO of the company. Besides management, I also actively participate in the projects by actively developing software and maintaining client communication.

What was the idea behind starting this organization?

I used to work for many types of companies during my software development career - both small, relatively unknown, and large famous brands (like J.P.Morgan and Blackrock).

One thing that all of these companies had in common is that there was quite often a disconnect between the business stakeholders of the project and the technical team.

Each of the groups used their own vocabulary that described the same concepts. Also many times, the developers didn’t understand the purpose of the software that they were creating.

The result of this state of things is that the projects were constantly delivered late, with bugs, and quite often in a way that was quite different from how the business stakeholders imagined it.

That’s why when I was starting my own company I wanted to do things differently. That is why we listen to our clients and learn about their business before we even write a single line of code. Also, our developers talk directly to the client's team, which greatly improves communication and lets us avoid gatekeepers.

We engage closely with our clients by providing them with frequent software releases, allowing for a rapid feedback loop.

What is your company’s business model–in - house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?

Our company is quite unique in the sense that from the very start we decided to work remotely. As the CEO, I am based in London, but our developers work from around the world.

We have a regular team of 7 developers, but very often supplement it by people from our network of tried and tested freelancers. Because of that, we never have problems with finding the right people for the job and we are able to flexibly scale depending on the demand.

How is your business model beneficial from a value addition perspective to the clients compared to other companies' models?

Our business model stands on a few pillars:

understanding of our customer's business.
transparency and communication.
solutions that provide the best value for cost at a given time.
right people for the right job.

Because of the above principles, our clients express high levels of satisfaction. They know that we understand them, therefore we will deliver the right solution.

Also by giving them access to our project management tools and providing frequent releases they are always up to date on what’s going on in the project and what is their money spent on.

What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?

We have customers from different industries. We believe that only a strong understanding of the customer's problems allows us to deliver a successful solution.

That’s why even though our expertise is in general software development, we can engage in projects for different lines of business.

Most of our clients are startups and many of them have started their journey with us. As their business grows, they stick with us because they are confident that we can execute their vision and are happy with our work.

Mention the objectives or the parameters critical in determining the time frame of developing a mobile app.

number of integrations with external services
number of screens that the application can contain
regulatory burden - if the application requires any specific work required to make it compliant with the law (some examples - health or finance-related applications)
if it contains animations and other visual additions
usage of non-native components like for example custom image pickers
the complexity of business logic

How much effort in terms of time goes into developing the front end and back end of a mobile app?

In most cases, the backend can be developed much faster than the frontend as it doesn’t need to implement any visual aspects, but just handle the data.

What are the key parameters to be considered before selecting the right platform for a mobile application?

To choose the right platform, one has to take a few things into consideration:

what is the target audience, are they mostly using Android or iOS
is either Android or iOS providing any features not found on the other platform
is the application computationally intensive and the work cannot be offloaded to the backend? if yes, then the best will be to build a native app. A good example would be video editing apps.
if the application is not computationally intensive or the work can be offloaded to a server, the best is to build a hybrid app. Hybrid apps in this case should prove to be indistinguishable from native ones while having a lower cost of development and maintenance.

Which platform do you suggest your clients to begin with when they approach you with an idea (Android or iOS) and why?

Because both platforms are almost equally capable. It largely depends on what is the target audience for the application.

From a pure development speed point of view, I would recommend iOS because of the greater uniformity of the platform as well as a much smaller variety of screen sizes to test the app on.

Android or iOS, Native or Hybrid — which platform is best to use to build your app? What are your recommendations?

Native for apps that do a lot of processing on the phone, hybrid for everything else.

What are the key factors that you consider before deciding the cost of a mobile application?

We provide quotes for the cost of developing software based on the estimates in hours.

We create a breakdown of build items necessary for creating the app and analyze each one of them to assign an estimate to it.

Usually, the most time-consuming parts of development are integrations with external services as well as any specialized / highly not common features that a client may require.

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.)

We both estimate and bill by the hour. After trying different approaches over the years we found that it works best for both us and the clients.

This approach is the most flexible as it allows the clients to control their costs and prioritize the most important features.

We invoice our clients weekly so they have an accurate idea about the spend.

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?

We don’t have a minimum budget, the smallest project that we did, cost the client 120 GBP.

What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2019?

Minimum 234 GBP, maximum 34 000 GBP

Which business model do you suggest to your clients enabling them to generate revenue from mobile applications? Why?

There is no such thing as the best business model to generate revenue from any software.

In some cases, the software that we create complements another offering and is not expected to be profitable on its own.

Sometimes it lends itself better to a subscription-based model if we talk about services.

Sometimes towards commission based if the product is an e-commerce platform.

Usually, our customers best know how they want to generate the revenue from the app, our role, in this case, is mainly to suggest the best technical solutions to allow that to happen.
