FixForm
Keep buildings and spaces in good, safe and clean condition
Overview
FixForm's plan was suddenly disrupted when their technical co-founder had to leave the company and the product was only half complete. Who was going to build the management interface? Who was going to add multi-tenancy? Who was going to help them launch the MVP?
Their vision was to keep buildings and spaces in good, safe, and clean condition. And now… that was in jeopardy. Fortunately, FixForm had heard about madewithlove before.
Quality-Driven Development Services
When madewithlove joined the project, we were initially in firefighting mode. Our team of staff engineers, Emma and Bram, first focused on getting the product shipped. Over the next two months, we took the incomplete solution and molded it into a quality-first MVP built-in Inertia.js, Vue, and Laravel.
Step one was building a robust continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD) pipeline. Within the first month, this was supplemented with a suite of end-to-end tests built with Cypress.
Building Features Iteratively
The core value of FixForm is for people on the go, those in physical spaces and interacting with the real world. The product is designed entirely around this experience.
QR codes are printed and fixed in the buildings so that people can immediately report problems complete with descriptions and helpful pictures. Facility and property managers then respond to the issues.
Hiring Our Replacements
Our mission is to mentor and nurture technical teams so madewithlove began the search for our own replacements early on. We used our network and expertise to source candidates, filter and interview them, and eventually, make a recommendation.
A new staff engineer was hired and able to join the project 3 months in, making an impact immediately.
What they said
“If you can tell VCs, 'we are working with madewithlove' they already know it will be quality because they have also used madewithlove to do, for example, audits.”
“By assigning two software engineers from madewithlove, you're ensuring a quality codebase, which for me was crucial, instead of outsourcing it abroad and having to recode part of the codebase again afterwards.”
“They knew what our ambition was so it was also easier for madewithlove to find somebody to hire, somebody that was part of the vision of FixForm.”
