Akhilesh Sharma  

CEO, A3logics

Give us a quick overview on A3logics. When and how did you begin this journey and what were your motives to be successful in app development? 

The idea of A3logics was conceived almost two decades back. We began with a small group of tech-geeks committed to bringing the best App Development Services at first in the city of Jaipur. With a couple of customers at the beginning, we concentrated on delivering highly impressive solutions over quantity. The small team burned the midnight oil to guarantee 24*7 client service and tweaked services. Indeed, even today, our USP is the customer support team that is accessible even at odd hours to tackle customers' questions. In a span of over a decade, we have won acknowledgment in the US, UK, Australia, and different nations around the globe. As the association developed, the references extended and we accumulated a solid client base. Additionally, the digital space helped us arrive in remote zones. In the journey, I have remained with my troop at the same time taking responsibility from the front by making a move, exhibiting what should be done, and keeping the group composed to ensure we're all on the same wavelength and contribute similarly. 

What is your role in the management and development of A3logics?

At A3logics, we have constantly centered on linear development, we understand that horizontal or vertical development exclusively couldn't be continued.

I have always stood by the team, and never have we compromised with our schedules. To be honest, when we were a team of a few, managing things was quite easier. As our clientele expanded, we had to expand our team. In the early phase of expansion, things were really difficult. You know what they teach in colleges is just a fraction of what is to come. I had troubles in managing the team, handling the clients, did not have the infrastructure, and had no idea how to take it further.

The team stood by me all the while and gradually even things started falling in place. With little savings and the profits we earned, we leased our first office. Keeping track of things seemed a little difficult, so we started regular meetings. The developers ensured that they are in constant communication with the clients to not compromise with the services we offer.

Along these lines, we dedicatedly chip away at extending the two different ways. We have collaborated with a portion of the enormous names Microsoft, Crisil, Zend, and so on. Other than this we likewise have earned accreditations for data security the board. With such associations and confirmations, the association has earned an incredible customer base. In this manner, we have been developing in the two headings and improving each day. We comprehend we are in a business that is ever-advancing and in this manner, strolls with the patterns.

Tell us about your biggest achievement in the industry.

I don’t regard any of my achievements as the biggest achievement because you never know what’s next in the queue. In the last few years, we have developed a loyal clientele. We have set high standards with the excellence of our services. Our punctuality can never be questioned, the solutions are perfect, and you get on the screen what you had in mind. From a few techies to a team of a few hundred techies we have come a long way and the journey itself is an achievement.

I accept the greatest accomplishment for us as an association is the drawn-out business connections that we have made. Other than that a piece of our customers is through references and proposals which mirrors the trust of different areas on our business.

How do you schedule the development phases of the apps to promise the timeline to your clients?

We treat customers' organizations like our own. The team guarantees there is no possibility of blunder in the applications delivered. To ensure the customer is heard each time he contacts us, we have a solid customer support team group to complete things. Here's a brief on how we work with our customers.

Understanding the Needs: The group speaks with the customers plainly to comprehend the business necessities.

Normal Sprints: With customary sprint schedules we guarantee to execute and refresh the undertaking subtleties.

Agile Model: We deliver the functionalities each in turn with the goal that it is simpler for the improvement group and the customers to be in the same spot.

Documentation: We guarantee to report all the parts of the procedure and the answer for insisting the customer dives into minute subtleties.

Quality Check: We make it a point that each code is checked a few times before being sent. “Flawlessness in the solution” is the adage.

What's more, we don't leave our clients once the mobile application is delivered. After deploying the application, we are available for the customers if any update is required.

How do you help your clients in choosing the right yet profitable platform for app development?

Well, as the client approaches us, our team makes clear communication with them. We understand that businesses need to change the way the audience perceives their services. Our team talks to the clients, understands their needs, and suggests them the best platform that would make it easier for their business app to run.

The team, first of all, understands the needs and the genre of the client’s business. We also discuss if the client has any basic reference. Next, we consider the functionalities that would be required i.e, navigation, and other features. After this, we talk about the target audience and lastly about the budget. Target audience and functionalities play an important role in deciding the budget and the platform of the app to be developed.

We ensure to share all the pros and cons of the platforms and let our clients make the final call.

Which would you suggest for a successful and profitable business progression, Native or hybrid apps? How do you define the factors that influenced you to make this choice?

Well, to be honest, I have no personal choice in this case. The success of your business is important and it entirely depends on your business which app type would you want. Native apps are for business those aim at the application all in all for their progress, whereas hybrid apps are the ones that are not platform-specific and have general utility.

Although, both of these types are aimed only to reach out to the audience and make strong claims of your business.

Well, we have been asked about both types of apps a hundred times and at times have even helped the businesses to understand what should be their choice. The major factors that help us decide which of either to choose are:

Code Base

Complexity of Functionality

User Experience

Maintenance

Efficiency

Aesthetics

No matter which type of service our clients expect, we are available round the clock to get things done for them.

How do you scheme your pricing model? How do you fix your budget?

Well, as a businessman I strictly believe pricing cannot be a sacrifice or a shot in the dark. We have a few pricing models that the sales team takes care of. We have a Project-based pricing model basically. That simply means let us know what you want and we would come up with the lowest quote and the quickest delivery plan. Don’t be amazed, the team still works day and night to ensure there is no harm to the reputation of the organization because of the lack of customer satisfaction.

We have high regard for customer satisfaction and have been dedicatedly working to get things in place for the clients without compromising with our share.

How helpful are the mobile apps developed by your team, for enhancing your clients’ business?

The mobile applications that we have delivered so far have helped our clients build an identity in the market. We have tried our best to outdo ourselves each time and bring on-screen exactly what our clients have in their minds. With great aesthetics and simple navigation, the solutions that we offer take our clients to a win-win situation. Mobile applications have played an important role in expanding businesses in almost all domains. And, keeping this in mind, our development team keeps itself updated with any new advancement in any of the businesses. They have played strong pillars and the success of our organization stands on their shoulders.

What according to you are the best practices to attain client satisfaction?

We offer three different commitment models. To choose which model to actualize, we think about customers' matter of fact and their desires for the web arrangement. The least exhorted and requested commitment model is the "Fixed Price Model." Obviously, most organizations need adaptability and versatility and add to it and might pay for the additional highlights. "Time and material model" enters the image if a customer needs an adaptable arrangement. Other than adaptability the other element that makes this model an extraordinary cycle. Another is the "Devoted Team Model" that covers the cons of the over two sorts.

Customers can generally find the best model as indicated by their requirements and we are a great idea to go.

How do you update your business system to be in pace with the technological advancements?

With technology unfurling another page each day, the future is by all accounts promising. We expect the advancement procedure to get less complex, better, and simpler. We have considered inquiry to be per the guidance, pictures and now according to the state of mind. To be very honest, we are extraordinary loyalists of technology and are constantly eager to explore the concealed alcoves of technology. Who realizes the future has simple coding arrangements where you approach the application code for you and you to have the solutions and may not need app developers like us!

Who Knows What Future Has in Store!

What are your thoughts about AR, VR, and Internet of Things (IoT)?

My thought on technology is just one word, “MAGIC.” Surely, everyone would agree to this. Fifty-sixty years back, we never thought lights can be switched on or switched off by simple verbal instructions. I see technology as the charioteer to our imagination and necessities. We have a customer base of various areas, and in this manner investigate different advances to convey immaculate arrangements. With innovation having something in store to offer each second, we make it a point that the group stays refreshed with the patterns. From fundamental advances to cutting edge AI, IoT, Blockchain innovation we have been giving arrangements in all things. We have devoted groups for every specialty, who watch out for the progressions in their field as well as different advancements as well.

I love to read and learn new things, and the way AR and VR technology has evolved it has taken my interest to the zenith. You never know next is what, but you want to know and make a contribution to it. I general technology has made one curious and eager. Which I believe is a good thing. AR, VR, and IoT have in store a few surprises that are going to take the world by storm and bring the unthought future to the present.

What do you think will be the future of mobile technology?

Who knows what the future has in store for us. Seriously, I am surprised by the way mobile technology has evolved in the past two decades. We started with a business in the domain that has changed the way the world does business. When we started there were limited technologies and a few things that were to be considered to deliver the solutions as the technology advanced, the prospect expanded and today there are hundreds of solutions for just one business requirement. Things are changing and expanding with an unimaginable rate and we are walking hand in hand with time.
