Describe the project or task Vasterra helped with:

I worked with Vasterra to create an information system that would automate the purchasing, packaging, and reselling of gold materials to processing plants. We started with a business analysis phase because our internal processes were rather complicated. We then walked them through our processes, which took them a couple of weeks to audit — they documented everything, and only after that did they start building the product. The project was a step-by-step delivery, and we were heavily involved in the project. We used an agile methodology because we weren’t planning on delivering the whole thing at once.

What do you like best about Vasterra?

When we just started working together, I was very impressed with the way Vasterra got involved in analyzing our business processes. As far as I know, they didn’t use any specific tools and did it in their way — I was impressed by how they managed to grasp our internal business processes. I found myself confidently communicating with them even at the most complex parts of our business logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vasterra?

It’s difficult to say. I didn’t have any negative experiences with Vasterra, and I was pretty pleased working with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Vasterra solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before working with Vasterra, interactions with our company had different stages. We used to buy gold material from various legal entities, package it, and send it to plants to be refined and sold. There were several levels of interaction and used to do the process one-on-one. Each contract would then end up on our CEO’s table, who was constantly busy with this operational activity, so we had no chance to think about expanding the business. As you can imagine, it was quite a nightmare. Vasterra completely freed him from this type of work, and from that point onward, he only had to check the automatically-generated report from time to time. We saved massive amounts of time for our company leadership. Every process was automated, and regular low-level employees didn’t have to do everything by hand anymore — there was much more free time for them to do other tasks.
