Sidly Care

Please describe your organization.

We provide a system consisting of a mobile application and a web service, which gives users information about the health condition of seniors. Our goal is to become a global company.

What business challenge were you trying to address with Ready4S?

We needed to develop our platform.

Please describe the scope of their involvement in greater detail.

Ready4S has developed our Android and iOS apps. These apps log the user's heart rate and temperature and provide reminders for seniors to take their medicine.

We were able to give them technical specifications for the features we wanted to have developed, and Ready4S' engineers calculated the total time required. Before starting the work, Ready4S always sent us step-by-step schedules of what they did, how many hours a task would take, and what its cost would be.

How did you come to work with Ready4S?

I had met Ready4S' CIO three years ago when I started the company. We didn't maintain contact since we were focused on developing our device. A few months ago, we started looking for a software partner, so I contacted Ready4S' CIO and started a conversation.

Could you provide a sense of the size of this initiative in financial terms?

The cost of Ready4S' work has been around €100,000 [$108,000].

What is the status of this engagement?

We have been working with Ready4S for around 18 months. We have a long-term plan for making our application experience better and adding additional features like data analysis.

Could you share any statistics or metrics from this engagement?

We have around 1,000 users for our application, which is to be expected since we are offering a niche product that costs €300 [$320] per unit. The application only serves the hardware device, so 1,000 users is a good number for our company.

How did Ready4S perform from a project management standpoint?

Ready4S always provided accurate timelines for our work, and they were never delayed.

What distinguishes Ready4S from other providers?

Ready4S is a professional group. They assigned a project manager who worked closely with our own and had good communication. Ready4S has many engineers for every technology segment, including Java, system architecture, and graphic design.

Is there anything Ready4S could have improved or done differently?

No, the collaboration has been good.
