Interview with Himanshu Patel, CEO - NectarBits Pvt Ltd

Headquartered in Ahmedabad, India, Nectarbits is a mobile and web development company that began its operations in 2009. Our app development service helps clients worldwide to accomplish the goals and carve out a distinctive niche in the market. We feel proud that our services are appreciated by the clients in every way, be it consulting, development, designing, flawless delivery, post-development support, and others.

We are keeping up with new technology trends and evolving market needs to fill the gap and provide the best solutions to our clients. With growing demands for on-demand and ecommerce solutions, we are upgrading processes, team size, and the skill sets.

I am a founder and CEO of the company and chiefly focus on sales and marketing activities to expand business globally while keeping the business in a profitable state. I also work as a technical leader and work closely with the team so that all of us can learn, grow, and thrive together as a whole in a company.

In a matter of a decade, NectarBits has served more than 500 clients and manage to sustain a high percentage of the clients because of the top-notch development services. We are also recognized by one of the leading research and review platforms as a top mobile app development company continuously for two years in a row.

We listen to client requirements to understand the business goals completely. Later, the team conceptualizes the app development idea after brainstorming how the app can be developed, designed, tested, and launched precisely. The agile methodology is followed to break the app development project into a couple of sprints. The set of features to include in every sprint and its timeline is defined to finish the development before the deadline.

The project development progress as per the planning, and as the sprints completed, they are sent to the clients for approval and avoid unexpected pullbacks. There will be a meeting with the client after every sprint development to know their views and the changes they want in the app development so that project can be delivered at the right time with everything that client expects.

The discovery workshop conducted where we note down the client requirements, expectations, and goals for the business application. The preferences for the development platform, technology leverage, and target audience identified. Later, our business analysts and project manager sit together to analyze the business necessities for the platform, end-users, and competition so that the end product can meet business objectives alongside gives an edge to the business. We make suggestions, not compel the client for anything as we want to guide them through a path so that the app will land the business on a positive growth trajectory.

Every client has different project requirements, project scope, and development budget, which plays a key role in making suggestions for native and hybrid apps. Mostly, we give more credence to native app development because of the high performance, core functions accessibility, high resolution, elegant UI, and scalability they provide over hybrid apps. However, the cost and timeline are two critical factors, which influence the decision, and the hybrid is the way to achieve the same.

We offer three types of price models to enable the clients with a different set of requirements to flexibly work with us. They are:

Fixed price model: When the development requirements freeze in the beginning, then project complexity, resources need, development methodology, and working hours are a couple of factors used to fixed the development cost.

Hourly-based model: In this model, the cost depends on the number of working hours invested in the project development multiplied by the price of one working hour. However, the changes are welcome, which automatically increases the cost as the working hours surge.

Developers for hire: The developers to complete the ongoing project are provided to the companies to finish the development. The developers work for a specific time interval at a fixed price.

We engineer the user-first applications wearing users’ lens so that the deliverables not just surpass the client’s expectations, but help the clients innovate the business processes, optimize the operations, and improve the workflow, which in turn thrive the end-users. Our laser focus is to reduce the app churn rate and provide a profitable solution to the clients. This development approach has helped our clients ranging from start-ups to SMBs to grow the business and revenue.

The quality of work, timely deliveries, seamless communication, ongoing updates about project progress, and 24/7 support helped us to achieve 100% client satisfaction. Additionally, introducing innovation, meeting unexpected technical needs, and resolving the problems post-development help us retain the clients.

We have modernized the workplace to make the employees always feel motivated in the office premises. The employees are up skilled with advanced technologies through training or workshops to keep them updated with new technology trends, which helps them work on development of projects that require advanced technology usage. Based on the trends, expertise, and experience in technological advancements, we introduce the latest technologies in the app to help the clients make their business future-ready.

These emerging technologies are the future of every industry vertical. We have witnessed great advancements in these technologies, but their potential is not exploited yet to the fullest, which signals there’s a lot of room to experiment and explore. Our vision is to integrate these technologies with mobile app development to create wonders and deliver brilliant user experiences.

Undoubtedly, mobile app development is the hottest trend in the industry, which is not going to slow down sooner or later. With emerging technological advancement, endless possibilities are whirling around mobile space, which needs to be explored and tapped at the right time for the right audience. Also, it plays a key role in orchestrating the user experience, which is when used in conjunction with the wearable such as the smart watch, smart headsets, and more.
