Rootquotient

I’m the senior manager of operations and implementation of a nonprofit organization that supports a network of food banks across Ontario. I oversee operations and logistics.

We were eager to update and improve our system.

Rootquotient uses JavaScript to work on our food donation database. We initially signed an agreement and sorted out the project scope and timeline. A couple of weeks later, we got started.

I initially searched on Google for what we were looking for and found Rootquotient through Clutch. They were collaborative and available to get started right away.

The initial development will be about $85,000 CAD (approximately $62,000 USD).

We initially planned to do the updates in October 2023, but then we took an internal pause to organize some things. We contacted them again in February 2024 and officially started the project. We’re currently in the middle of development.

We don’t have any results yet. We’ve completed the design work and started development, so the progress so far has been what we expected. Overall, we’re really happy with Rootquotient’s work and support.

Project management is great. Everything is on time and meets our expectations. The payment schedule is accurate, and they give us regular updates, breaking down the work and where we’re at.

Their communication and transparency are outstanding. They’ve been very transparent throughout the process, so there haven’t been any real surprises. Moreover, Rootquotient has been thorough; they ensure we understand what they’re talking about and circle back if there are questions.

No, I don’t have any constructive criticism to provide. We’ve had a great experience overall.

Go into the call with Rootquotient with an open mind; the team has intuitive ideas. When we present an issue we’re dealing with, they have 2–3 ideas to tackle it by the next call. Opening the door to their ideas and the options they can come up with has been really beneficial to our process. For example, we took on aspects of the system or redesigned parts of the program in ways we hadn’t considered previously.

I’m an operating principal for a private equity firm. We primarily invest in the IT services sector and currently have nine companies in our portfolio.

As a private equity company, we always conduct due diligence on different companies, investigating their financial and operational performance and assessing the performance of our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. Toward that end, we’ve developed some identity-aware proxies (IAPs), which we’ve been using as spreadsheets.

Initially, we explained verbally to Rootquotient the different elements that would go into the assessment software. We provided some cleaned-up extracts of the spreadsheets we used for that assessment.

We’ve interacted with five teammates overall. An account manager is leading the engagement. Additionally, we’ve had two business analysts at different points in time and three technical people.

We got quotes from three vendors and chose Rootquotient out of those three.

We’ve spent between $35,000–$40,000 because it isn’t an extensive software.

We began working with them in July 2023, and our relationship is ongoing. They’re currently working on some requests.

We’ve just completed the user acceptance testing; there is one more change request before we roll it out into production. To have a more concrete Firebird, we’ve already been able to discuss the software in our annual general meeting, for which I was in New York last week.

Rootquotient has been quite well engaged. I come from an IT services background, so I’ve handled many large engagements in Cognizant, Wipro, etc. Considering this is a small project, Rootquotient has been thorough in documenting the requirements and coming up with the user stories, design system, and hybrid design, and then converting this hybrid into the actual development.

The proxy product manager took care of the first release and some of the requests and kept that in mind for future releases. Overall, he’s the person we’ve interacted with the most to convey our requirements, perform tests and user acceptance testing, and provide feedback.

Other than one small thing, Rootquotient has been impressive in all aspects. For a small project, they’ve been thorough at documenting the requirements, writing down the user stories, converting each of those into high-fidelity designs, and validating them.

I can only point out one small thing in the entire engagement. When we moved on from the requirements to the design, Rootquotient gave us different design options. We chose one, but then we were surprised that it wasn’t part of the initial code. We rolled back because we wanted to stay within our budget, and they told us more clearly what we could do to keep with the initial code. Overall, it was a minor glitch in the scope management.

Although I come from an IT service background, I hadn’t considered that we have to allocate enough time, even for a small project. Since Rootquotient thoroughly documents the requirements and signs off on each phase of the hybrid design system, business stakeholders should allocate sufficient time to review each stage of the documents and sign off on those.

I'm one of the owners of a firm that provides mapping services for First Nation communities. We've been in the business for 15 years.

Rootquotient provides software design services for a new web geographic information system (GIS) that we're building.

Initially, Rootquotient was involved at a project management level, directing some of our younger staff. Eventually, we brought the team in full-time with one of their developers to complete more tasks to keep up with the pace we needed. Some of the technologies Rootquotient is bringing in include digital twinning for some of the flood work we’re doing and utilizing drone-based LiDAR imagery that we captured to provide better deliverables to our clients. We host our platform, and Rootquotient provides the expertise to explain some of these complex processes to our junior staff so they can pass on the knowledge transfer.

We work with 4–5 people from their team, including Yogesh (Software Development Engineer), Ranjith (Head of Operations), and Anish (Software Engineer). Yogesh is our primary developer.

We began working with Rootquotient in January 2023, and our engagement is ongoing.

The software hasn't been deployed yet, but Rootquotient shared their progress and functionalities. Rootquotient delivers high-quality work, and the team is knowledgeable and resourceful.

I want to highlight Yogesh's work. He is very knowledgeable and patient. Srivatsan is also an employee we'd like to shout out. As the B2B manager, he has been supportive and addressing our concerns in a timely manner.

I'm mostly impressed by Rootquotient's overall vision, which aligns with our software project. The team understands some of the issues we face and hence provides a reasonable price since our profit margins aren't as big as the ones from other companies. Additionally, Rootquotient is very accommodating. I know some of their staff work in different time zones, and they meet whenever we need to train our junior staff on how to do this work.

I can't think of anything for Rootquotient to improve.

I suggest being honest with Rootquotient about what you're trying to do. The team is a moral-driven organization that strives to provide solutions to problems underrepresented populations are facing. That is why we get along so well because our teams are aligned on those fronts.

I’m the program manager for a federally funded nonprofit. We support startup organizations and entrepreneurs with funding and education around business.

I was looking inside my position to connect our youth entrepreneurs through a digital mobile application.

Rootquotient has developed a mobile application for iOS and Android. They’ve built an admin side for our organization and a mobile platform for users. We started with the formal RFP and then prepared different functionalities and requirements for our users. The platform's base is networking and resource connecting, like social media.

Our primary contact is the sales account manager; we have three other people in the development team.

We initially assembled an RFP and sent it to multiple developers, including Rootquotient. They understood the app the best, so we hired them.

We’ve spent about $40,000.

We began working with them in December 2023, and our relationship is ongoing.

We’re still in the development process, but Rootquotient has met all expectations. Even when we bring things forward that are outside expectations, they’re very open about making them happen.

All meetings are scheduled and feasible for our organization. Rootquotient communicates every cost that varies, and they’re timely with invoicing and delivery of development documents. If they say they’ll have something by the weekend, they have it. They also give us time to review everything, and we can comment on their platform.

The sales account manager was our first point of contact. The way he onboarded us as a client was outstanding. Moreover, he has guided us through what we can expect.

Their ability to pivot is impressive. We’ve had a few meetings where we couldn’t make it, and Rootquotient has been very accommodating. They just pivot and make it happen.

So far, we wouldn’t change anything, but you never know.

Ask questions no matter what; they’ll answer. If they can’t, they’ll come back and give you an answer.
