Technology Rivers enhanced the technological framework of an existing platform. They built out the system’s database using basic SQL development principles and Amazon RDS. They’re able to design original code.
Technology Rivers provides high-quality code that facilitates an innovative platform. Executive-level engagement ensures a transparent and communicative experience. They listen to client concerns and develop viable solutions that can be delivered within established deadlines.
The confidence that our customers enjoy is directly related to the rate, pace, and quality that they produce.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder of a social shopping company. Our members receive a percentage of the company’s revenue by meeting specific participation requirements. We’re a continually iterating company that returns value to our users.
What challenge were you trying to address with Technology Rivers?
Being a decent coder myself, I created an entity that programmed the crucial aspects of our social network. However, I needed full-scale development firm to build out the platform’s framework and integrate it with new features. My ultimate goal is to restructure the entire codebase.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Technology Rivers helps us improve our software by introducing new features and functionalities into the source code. We sell discounted gift cards as a revenue generator, so their team integrated aftermarket and newly purchased e-gift cards into our system's inventory. They tied the inventory back to merchant accounts so that our constituents can buy those products seamlessly. That feature allows users to text us the value they want to spend at a specific establishment. Then, we send a gift card to their phone via text. The gift card can also be redeemed by accessing our platform’s interface. Technology Rivers made that by possible by integrating original code with software packages like Twilio.
They also maintain a dashboard that enables our constituents to view what they’ve saved and what they owe. That dashboard also ties into other licensed software that we utilize, so they’ve done a great job of bridging that space.
From a technological perspective, they’re able to use code templates and can script their own as well. They’re using a combination of basic SQL server functionalities and Amazon RDS to create the database code that integrates with our graphical UI. In addition to scripting a unique codebase, they also implemented code that’s been previously formatted into templates.
What is the team composition?
We interact with 5–6 resources from Technology Rivers. That includes their VP, the director of operations, and several developers.
How did you come to work with Technology Rivers?
I found them by looking for vendors on Clutch.co. The categories, reviews, and ratings on Clutch’s website provided enough visibility for me to answer the right questions. I considered several firms, but Technology Rivers offered competitive pricing and geographical accessibility. Considering those factors, I decided to hire them.
How much have you invested with them?
We expect to spend $250,000–$500,000. The total cost might even go beyond that if everything goes well.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Technology Rivers in November 2017 and it’s an ongoing engagement. We continue to grow, so I expect our relationship to continue if they’re willing to provide the kind of support we need.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The confidence that our customers enjoy is directly related to the rate, pace, and quality that they produce. Considering the platform has 1,200 clients so far, their satisfaction is important to us. Technology Rivers identifies and explains the tasks they plan to accomplish. They send updates if minor issues occur, but they’ve never missed a final deadline.
How did Technology Rivers perform from a project management standpoint?
Their VP and director of operations actively provide recommendations and counsel. I appreciate how they interact with us. They listen to client concerns and extend value independently by presenting actionable solutions. We have a daily call with their offshore developers, and it’s often a rolling conversation. We’re opposites in terms of culture, but I appreciate the international aspect of the process. The time zone difference hasn’t been an issue thus far.
Overall, their responsiveness and ability to meet deadlines are top-notch. They allowed us to communicate via our preferred channel but eventually made recommendations that improved our productivity. We initially used Slack to convey our requirements, but they suggested we switch over to Twilio. Using a single program to prioritize our needs and communicate objectives made managing the project more efficient.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their availability, attentiveness, and communication skills set them apart from similar vendors.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Despite being a tough critic with high expectations, I don’t have an issue with how they perform. They help me understand the platform’s needs through conversation, and that process has worked well thus far. I’m interested to see how they’re going to scale, but I can’t provide constructive feedback regarding that at this time.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Embrace their nimbleness and communicate the project’s requirements from the onset.
Technology Rivers developed a SaaS platform and a mobile app for Android and iOS for a healthcare startup. The products are used to facilitate communication between hospitals and assisted living communities.
Technology Rivers has proven to be a valuable development partner by delivering beta versions to attract an early client base. They respond to and address all program bugs in short order. They are well-suited for startup projects with strict budgets and timelines.
Technology Rivers was able to take what we envisioned and develop something that matches our expectation.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am a co-founder and chief science officer of a healthcare startup. We take a data-driven approach to connect patients with post-acute facilities after they are discharged from hospitals.
What challenge were you trying to address with Technology Rivers?
We hired Technology Rivers to develop our SaaS platform and mobile application that connect case managers at hospitals with clinical staff at post-acute facilities.
What was the scope of their involvement?
For our website platform, we tasked Technology Rivers with developing a set of features that allowed case managers to indicate clinical needs for a patient, who would then be matched to an appropriate facility based on those needs and other factors (i.e., geography). They also developed the mobile app for Android and iOS so that staff at assisted living communities could send clinical data, receive patient information, and communicate with case managers via a chat function.
What is the team composition?
We work directly with Ghazenfer (Founder, Technology Rivers) and 2–3 developers.
How did you come to work with Technology Rivers?
My co-founder selected Technology Rivers because they could accomplish the work within our budget, and they have extensive experience developing HIPAA-compliant software for websites and mobile applications.
What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve had ongoing work with Technology Rivers since 2017.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We are currently in the process of launching and testing our applications; Technology Rivers has been instrumental in developing these applications as well as beta versions that we can put in front of our clients. It’s been impactful for us to show clients something tangible instead of just talking about an idea.
How did Technology Rivers perform from a project management standpoint?
The majority of our interaction is through Slack with conference calls every other week. They're responsive to feedback, and they complete their tasks pretty quickly to make sure our deadlines are met. They’ve managed the project well, which has allowed us to test beta versions internally and externally according to our timeline.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I’ve been particularly happy with the mobile app development. Technology Rivers was able to take what we envisioned and develop something that matches our expectations. They’ve also been very responsive when we need them to be. We take our internal testing very seriously, and Technology Rivers regularly updates us to how and when each bug is resolved.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, they have met our budget and have been focused on delivering our products. We have no complaints.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
It’s worthwhile to conduct research before development to make sure that your product will fill a real customer need in the marketplace.
After taking over a software development project, Technology Rivers finalized the development process, launched the product on the server, and addressed all the bugs.
Technology Rivers worked quickly and efficiently, saving the in-house team a tremendous amount of time and resources. They went above and beyond to meet all needs, while their ability to resolve any issues that came up during the process earned them trust.
They quickly figured out what was going on and proposed a good solution.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the former product manager at a healthcare company.
What challenge were you trying to address with Technology Rivers?
We hired Technology Rivers to design and develop the MVP version of an iOS application that would integrate with our fertility tracking device via Bluetooth.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They developed our MVP and were responsible for enhancing the UI/UX design as well as the front-end and backend development. It’s a fertility tracking application.
What is the team composition?
They had a local product manager, a project coordinator and user experience specialist, an offshore designer, an iOS programmer, a backend developer, and a QA/Tester. I worked with a local team and offshore development lead.
How did you come to work with Technology Rivers?
We looked at their past work and saw that they had experience in healthcare and IoT devices.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together March–June 2018.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They helped us build a stable and functional MVP to get initial user responses. It’s allowed us to get that real feedback.
How did Technology Rivers perform from a project management standpoint?
Project management was pretty good. They gave good suggestions and communicated in a very responsive and professional manner. We worked in an agile approach.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They have a good level of professional knowledge in their field. This is our first app project, so sometimes we were a little confused, but they always had answers or suggestions when I reached out.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They did a good job overall. We had them start the development right away, but later design reviews revealed that we needed to make flow changes in order to have a good user experience. We had to reword a few details because of that, but it goes both ways. Had they pushed these changes to later a phase, would've cost a lot more.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I recommend starting backlog grooming early before entering the next sprint. It helps keep the team moving forward.

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the co-founder of a software company.
What challenge were you trying to address with Technology Rivers?
We were in the process of building a software tool that would help us with our business functions. We were working with another company, but we were not happy with their services. We wanted to find a new vendor to support us.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Our app is built in Python Django and we used Angular and Celery for a lot of the functions as well. We already had the codebase, so we had to figure out how to launch it on the server, piece everything together, and create a working product. Technology Rivers handled all of that. They helped us get the product up and running and fixed all the bugs.
What is the team composition?
We mostly worked with their lead architect.
How did you come to work with Technology Rivers?
They were our customer, so we knew them and trusted them.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked with them in February 2019.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They saved us a tremendous amount of time and money. They were able to jump in and get the project up and running within a day or two. They're very experienced, so they know what they're doing. We were happy with the quality of their work.
How did Technology Rivers perform from a project management standpoint?
They were very responsive. We did most of our communication through Slack and we also had some phone calls. The developer that we were working with was based overseas, but we didn't have any issues with the time difference.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They have an agile approach and can adapt to different circumstances. They quickly figured out what was going on and proposed a good solution.
Are there any areas they could improve?
The only issue we had was that we didn't know the number of total hours they had worked until the end of the project. That wasn't a big problem, but we'd have liked them to be a bit more transparent about the hours during the process.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Discuss your timeline and how you'd be communicating upfront. They're based in the Middle East, so you need to have a good understanding of their communication hours, especially if something needs to be pushed or reviewed.
Technology Rivers built an iOS platform from scratch for an educational nonprofit. After reviewing requirements, they wireframed, designed, and developed all aspects of the platform.
The final product is high-quality and is designed for expansion. Technology Rivers helped push the project outside of the box. They were responsive, and their interest in the project came through in helpful suggestions. All deliverables came in on schedule, and they implemented feedback immediately.
The whole project went really smoothly, and I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
We are a nonprofit organization started by a high school student. I was a project manager and lead for the project. The non-profit connects high school students with children in the foster care system. Students can volunteer for extracurricular activities within the foster care community.
What challenge were you trying to address with Technology Rivers?
There is a lot of legality and restrictions with the foster care system. We needed an application that allowed students to share and teach children without needing to meet in person.
What was the scope of their involvement?
The platform is a bridge between the parties that use it. Technology Rivers built the entire application. They worked with the students to understand the requirements, then they came up with a design, wireframed, and developed a solution. They handled the full life-cycle of the project and developed the whole project from scratch. The finished product is an iOS application.
What is the team composition?
I worked directly with the team, which included three developers and a project manager. Most of my interaction was with their CEO, and they were very efficient.
How did you come to work with Technology Rivers?
I knew them before this project. They created an application at a previous company I worked with. I enjoyed working with them before, so they seemed like a good solution when we started on this project.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started discussions with them in January 2018 and the project started in April 2018.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The quality of work was excellent. They completed all the requirements and went above and beyond to provide everything we needed. They helped the students think beyond the original scope, and it's built to accommodate expansion in the future. The students were really excited by the project.
How did Technology Rivers perform from a project management standpoint?
The whole project went really smoothly, and I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. Everything came to us as scheduled, and their project management was very good. They were completely in control, they had clear documentation, and they provided demos and took input. Any feedback was implemented immediately. We used Jira and other ways to reach them, and they were always responsive to email.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The most noteworthy thing was how smoothly the project went. Their responsiveness, interest in the project, and willingness to make suggestions was uncommonly helpful. They were sensitive to the fact that this was a project designed for high school students, and they helped them think outside the box.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't think of anything they could have done differently. Any delays came from the students, and all the feedback we received was entirely positive.

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the founder of an educational tech startup called Bindr.
What challenge were you trying to address with Technology Rivers?
I had come up with an idea to solve a need in the education space, but I personally don’t code so I needed a partner to help create the app for me.
What was the scope of their involvement?
The app helps consolidate the various means of communication that schools use to communicate with parents, which can usually number up to 6–7 different channels. Bindr is introducing a solution that allows schools to remove some of that redundancy.
The program really holds the parents’ hands as far as reminding of them of different events, directing them to a calendar feature that allows the school to manage everything happening at the school, and linking to any information that a parent would need about a particular event.
After we went through an extensive scoping process, I provided them with rough, hand-drawn sketched of what I wanted. They got their designer to design the full app, including user flows and specific features. Once I approved those, they developed the app on iOS, Android, and the web from the ground up.
What is the team composition?
I always had one main point of contact on their team. Early on I was working with Ghazenfer (Founder & CEO, Technology Rivers) on a regular basis, but as we got comfortable and the project became more a matter of executing what we had all agreed to, I interacted more with a technical lead who was managing the developers on a day-to-day.
How did you come to work with Technology Rivers?
I initially heard about them through a friend of a friend, so I looked at them among a few other companies. When we had our intro call, I really liked his questions and his attention to detail. He was just more willing to dive deep into the fundamental goals of what I was trying to do, and he had a lot of experience in running similar projects, so I decided to go with them.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started the project in March 2019 and launched the pilot program in August, but we are continuing to work together.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
One of the biggest feedback points I’ve gotten so far is that the interface is very clean and easy to use. It’s self-explanatory and not buggy, which people really like. From a business standpoint, parents love the easy access of being able to go to one place and find everything they need for their child’s school.
How did Technology Rivers perform from a project management standpoint?
They were always very responsive. I would generally get a response to any message I sent them within an hour, if not quicker. We used phone and Slack to communicate primarily, but we also scheduled regular video calls. I think that helped the relationship a lot in terms of establishing trust in our communications.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Based on what I’ve heard from other people’s experiences with projects like these, I really believe Technology Rivers is just ahead of the game. Their requirement gathering is phenomenal and just sets you up for success with clear expectations from the start. Their speed, quality, and ability to deal with emergency scenarios have all been incredible assets to the project.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I really can’t think of anything that they should improve.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Even if you have zero experience or have never done a project before, they’re willing to help you through that, so it’s not something you have to worry about. I would just suggest that you trust them because they really know what they’re doing and have your best interests in mind.

Technology Rivers met all project requirements, and the client is pleased with the results. Their team was responsive and willingly made adjustments when required. Valuing integrity, they are easy to work with and are highly recommended.
The process is very smooth, and I’m always in the loop.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the co-founder and CEO of a SaaS company with AI training and coaching software.
What challenge were you trying to address with Technology Rivers?
We hired Technology Rivers to build our software and execute our vision.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They built our mobile and web app that transcribes conversations in real-time. Our product works by connecting to a user calendar and notifying the user’s manager and sales coach when the software is being used. When a call is initiated, the recording begins and the sales coach and manager can connect live. The coach can then provide the user with instructions without the customer hearing them in the background. The AI of our platform recognizes tonality of the user’s and coach’s voice, so it can analyze the probability of a successful sale or the customer’s experience.
What is the team composition?
I work with Ghazenfer (Founder & CEO, Technology Rivers), but I communicate with the team directly as well.
How did you come to work with Technology Rivers?
Ghazenfer and I are both a part of the same entrepreneur organization, and we met at a function in Denver last year. They present themselves well, and we felt good about working with them.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working together in February 2019 and it’s ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They built every function we required and met each of our expectations. They delivered a high-quality product, and I’m extremely pleased with their work. If we ever had an issue, they fixed it within 24 hours. I’ve recommended them to many other people. They’ve outperformed every other agency I’ve worked with.
How did Technology Rivers perform from a project management standpoint?
They were very thorough, easily the best agency I’ve worked with. We have weekly phone calls and they set up a software system where we can track our project’s progress. The process is very smooth, and I’m always in the loop. Their team works 24 hours a day and I can always reach them via Slack. They are an integral partner and I feel like they’re an extension of our team.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re really easy to work with and they have integrity. They deliver on their promises. I would totally hire them again.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I don’t have anything negative to say about them.
