Once Wojciech and Bartosz decided to build this innovative product, they asked themselves one important question - what are the most common problems our customers face and how can we help them?
They made a list of all the expectations that arose in cooperation with clients, what problems they are struggling with, and on this basis, they created a specification of the features they need in the application. Then they found a company that could make their idea come true - Order Group.
Both teams from Enerace and Order Group came together to understand each other's needs and agree on the course of cooperation. As Maciej Sułek, tech leader said, "the project was extremely difficult, especially due to the huge amount of data and complex calculations that had to be presented in a simple, user-friendly form while maintaining 100% accuracy".
The energy industry itself is also complicated and demanding. The development team at Order Group needed to understand how it works in order to implement the automation of calculations and reporting.
The list of features Enerace founders want to add to the app is long and continues to evolve as the market changes. Therefore, the application is still in progress and is constantly adding new features to offer customers a top-quality product.
How to speed up the development process?
As you can see, creating a simple app that solves complex problems isn't easy, but there are a few things that can help you accelerate your progress.
- Work on communication between teams. As a Product Owner, make sure you are available for any questions that arise so that the development team gets answers quickly and continues the process.
- Describe your ideas about features in the app as clearly as possible. Do not leave room for misunderstanding or open interpretation.
- Focus on results, not deadlines. When two companies that specialize in very different fields start working together, it is often difficult to establish realistic schedules for each other.
- Trust your partners in their expertise. As a product owner, you may often want to control every aspect of your application. This is not a good idea. In custom application development, each team focused on its strengths, leaving, for example, making decisions about the application architecture fully to the Order Group.
Creating your own product is a great challenge and a long journey. But it's worth it! Enerace is proud to offer web applications to international customers and serve them every day, making their job easier.
