Share Best 3 application which your company have created or used for business 

Under our flagship product SpotnRides, we offer Uber like taxi booking app and a taxi dispatch software. We have planned to release SpotnEats, which is a Foodpanda like food delivery app. Before releasing a new product we usually get feedback from our existing clients so that our new release is perfect.

After service is a necessary part of development. How do you provide customer support to your client?

As I said earlier after sale support is what gives us an edge over our competitors. We provide free support for some time and after that we charge a nominal fee on hourly basis.

What are your hobbies? What do you do in your non-work time?

In my non-work time, I used to spend time with my family. I always give priority to them. Also, I attend many tech events globally. This year I attended an event at Dubai and I have planned to attend one in the US this July.

Have you raised any funding? Or have any plans for the funding?

 We have no plans to raise any funds for our company from outside. Till now we invested from our own hands and we are happy to say that we are cash positive.

Give your opinions on how far this app revolution can make a difference in the technology world?

 Starting from the time we wake up in the morning till going to sleep in the night, we are using mobile apps for all our services. As long as apps can reduce time and increase productivity, nothing can stop this revolution. Companies also should be built responsible apps that aid in the growth of the general public.

What latest technologies and tools you’re planning to implement for mobile app development?

 As said earlier, we have already updated to technologies like Nodejs, Laravel, Firebase, just to name a few and we are open to adapting whatever new technologies.

What’s your approach to creating interactive and addictive UX/UI of mobile apps and websites?

 For UI/UX, we always have a brainstorming session comprising of the clients and our developer team. We go through a lot of design revisions before zeroing on the right UI/UX design. We take into account some factors like target users, the complexity of the app, app usage region etc. while designing UI/UX.

What are the challenges you see in the outsourcing industry?

 The outsourcing industry is vast in the sense that many players are in this area. Many projects can be completed only with the latest technologies and I am afraid that only a few companies have understood the requirement. They should focus on re-skilling their workforce in line with the latest techs.

Mention the ways you use to introduce new updates to your team.

 Our company’s project manager and team lead continuously analyze the market trends to understand the market and intimate the developers regarding the latest developments and updates in the industry. The project managers also explain the new techs and say how it can improve the efficiency of our products.

What’s your step to enter into wearable tech & IOT revolution?

 We are in the process of integrating IoT with our fleet management software. By integrating IoT, the user is able to get a lot of data which can be processed to improve the fleet efficiency. We are also in the process of creating apps dedicated to the wearable devices but that is in the development stage now.

What are various technologies you used to make this app a reality?

 For Android and iOS apps we use Android SDK and Swift respectively.

Anything, you would like to say to our readers, upcoming entrepreneurs or Startup Companies?

 Be sure that you build a strong product. Treat the employees the same way you treat the customers. Always be in line with the latest advancements in the industry.
