Project Details

The Story Behind the Win

Every project has a plot: where it started, what wasn’t working, how we fixed it, and what changed. These breakdowns give you the full picture—background, challenge, solution, and the results that made it all worth it.

Background

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a controller at a commodities trading firm.

Challenge

What challenge were you trying to address with Inventive?

We needed their team to build our ERP system.

Solution

What was the scope of their involvement?

Inventive incorporated different data components into our database and automated our processes by crafting our ERP system. They developed solutions that enabled us to calculate payment terms, store all our product information, and make our data more accessible to our overseas team and traders.

What is the team composition?

We worked with about 6–7 resources throughout the project.

How did you come to work with Inventive?

We initially onboarded a different provider to build our product, but they weren’t able to meet our requirements in the long run. I knew about Inventive Work’s team and their previous projects, so I reached out to them and discussed our needs.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent between $30,000–$40,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project ran from July–October 2021.

Results

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Inventive Works brought their expertise and dedication to the table and delivered a system that mirrored our requirements. We didn’t set any particular KPIs for their work, but our entire team was happy with their performance.

How did Inventive Works perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicated via email, phone calls, and Zoom meetings. Unlike our previous partner, Inventive had top-notch project management and communication skills — they made it a point to provide weekly progress reports with detailed completion percentages, and they kept all their lines open to address our needs.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were most impressed with Inventive's utmost understanding of our needs, transparency, and the reasonable price point of their services.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I couldn’t point out anything constructive about their work — we had nothing but a positive experience with Inventive.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have a solid grasp of what you want to achieve to help them build and narrow down more tailored solutions that can address those.

ENJOY THE STORY?

Let’s make your business the next success story. If you’ve got a juicy problem that’s begging for a smart, AI-powered solution—we’re all ears. We’re in the business of finding hidden profit, and we’d love to add your win to our growing list of case studies.
