Describe the project or task STX Next helped with:

The scope of this project was around image management. We take a lot of pictures and we analyze them in a detailed and scientific way. Image consistency is a real challenge. We were looking for a way to capture, tag, and analyze consistent imagery over time. Doing that correctly would create significant value for the business by allowing us to return better results to our clients.

The task for STX Next was to map out the user journey and the data flows and to help us think through what the key interventions would be along our existing process to make sure we had better outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about STX Next?

High touch service. Very responsive. Smart people.

There are a lot of development teams in the world that try to fleece you like snake oil salesmen. It's very unusual to find a company that doesn't work that way.

I think STX Next should be recognized and appreciated on the basis of their transparent approach to doing business. It's a shame that the industry can carry quite a bad rap in terms of technical consultants taking advantage of non-technical people. Working with a team like STX Next who take care to manage those relationships carefully and make sure that there isn't any information asymmetry is a really positive thing.

What do you dislike about STX Next?

Scheduling complexity with larger teams. Inclination to build over buy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is STX Next solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking to automate a very manual, multi-stakeholder challenge. As a result of STX Next’s scoping work, we realized that the scope was too broad and the project too expensive to undertake at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task STX Next helped with:

Designs and Figma Prototype for my project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about STX Next?

STX Next were impeccable. They assigned an incredible team of people with expertise across product, design, graphics, UX and UI to assist me with my goal. They were challenging, insightful and ultimately the best people I could have chosen to do a part of my project that I myself did not have the skills for. Not only this, but they pushed my project forward with their thoughtful questions, which in turn made my entire idea better and made the value for money much more than I could ever have hoped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about STX Next?

They are going to make me write things here, so let's put it this way: you can get similar services elsewhere for cheaper. I chose not to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering STX Next:

They are more than just a Python house and I strongly recommend considering their services for design too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is STX Next solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed solid UX/UI design because the product I am building is complex and needed people with experience, especially with mobile apps, to translate my vision into realistic designs that I could build. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task STX Next helped with:

STX Next is responsible for developing new integrations for Sendcloud with various carriers such as Budbee, FedEx and Royal Mail. As soon as we agree commercially with a new logistics services provider in Europe, we task STX Next with building the integration for us. They’re also responsible for maintaining the integrations and middleware.

Additionally, STX Next supports our core development team with making architectural decisions and day-to-day development tasks on our platform. Two of their developers work with our own dev teams in Eindhoven. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about STX Next?

What I like best is that STX Next developers work side-by-side with ours. They are like colleagues to our own developers. What I mean by “side-by-side” is that everyone’s working from home now, everything is done digitally; meetings also take place in Zoom or Google Meet. And STX Next devs are part of that structure, they take part in the daily standup, they do retrospectives with us. So they’re really a part of our development department, I would say.

Aside from that, what I like about your account management (Christian and Kuba) is that they are willing to cooperate and think with us about solutions. So yes, we are a client but it’s nice that they’re also ready and available to discuss any topics that we have and give us good input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about STX Next?

It’s not so much something I dislike but something they could improve on. We’re Dutch, we’re quite straightforward, so we won’t hesitate to be more direct and tell you what we think. Sometimes I noticed the people at STX Next are a bit more reserved. But we actually appreciate directness; you don’t have to wear a glove with us.

I know that might sound a bit strange in a client-vendor relationship. But I see it more as a partnership, and in a partnership, you can be direct with each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering STX Next:

Involve the people of STX Next in your process, let them be part of the project and have them give their input because their input is valuable. Often in such projects the decisions are made internally, but I would say involve the STX Next experts so they can tell you what’s possible and give you ideas leading to a better outcome. Don’t be scared to open up a bit as a company because STX Next provides good added value to the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is STX Next solving and how is that benefiting you?

The issue we’re solving is scalability.

Development capacity is scarce in Europe—and everywhere in the world, really. We have roughly 50 in-house developers but there’s still a limit to our own resources. In the past, sometimes we had to wait for an integration to be built because another project was in progress and the internal capacity was assigned to that. Now our team focuses on our platform , the integrations are outsourced, and that allows us to scale much faster.

STX Next also helped us a lot with the development of a new API/SDK that makes it easier to integrate carriers. The API/SDK makes it possible to not only integrate more easily, which helps with scalability, but also make maintenance easier. This gives Sendcloud more control over the integrations, as well as STX Next where they provide maintenance for us.

At the end of the day, scaling the integrations is where our growth really lies, and we’re very happy with how STX Next has been able to support us in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task STX Next helped with:

meet.mba supports business school and university communities of admits, students and alumni by providing Virtual Campuses designed for networking, group chats and events across large, global communities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about STX Next?

STX Next builds teams instead of just delivering solutions, which is great because we cared about working closely with those driving our product forward. We ended up working together on-site with the STX Next team, which improved communication greatly, and helped us save time and money.

As a startup, having support when the need emerges to pivot and change direction is very important. STX has the breadth of experience to accommodate development of a product into new and exciting directions, whilst also providing the necessary depth of expertise to deliver our complex requirements.

Another thing that’s helpful is the ease and flexibility of scaling the team up and down. We started with five developers. Once our product was up and running, we no longer needed to keep all of them, so eventually we dropped down to one developer. Then we started getting traction with clients, so we scaled up again. These conversations are very easy to have with STX Next who are always quick to take action. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about STX Next?

The initial team set up was not geared towards a small, nimble startup. STX Next is more geared towards larger, high profile organisations and institutions. We needed a provider who can work in a startup environment but also deliver a product to a very high standard for our expected customers.

I wasn’t sure whether a Product Owner was required for my project; I feel like STX Next could have informed me better about the tradeoffs of having that role with my team. But as soon as we realised that I could take on the Product Owner role myself for the project, STX were great—their PO even gave me a crash course in product ownership. Once I took over the role, I was able to add another developer in the PO’s place which helped to deliver our product quicker.

Despite my naivety in this area and STX Next’s efforts to build a well structured team for us, albeit not optimal for our situation, their ongoing generosity and collaborative spirit have since made up for the beginning speed bump in spades! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is STX Next solving and how is that benefiting you?

We came to STX Next with a prototype of the product, which they broke down into a backlog, after which they started building the actual platform itself.

STX Next provided us with full-stack software development, following an Agile process. They helped us choose the tech stack, built the team for the project, and assisted with prioritising tasks.

STX Next is great at delivering what’s best for my business without making me worry too much about resource or negotiation—they just made it happen. It’s very reassuring as a founder to have this most crucial part of the business taken care of.

Even trying to raise money is easier with them. I don’t have a CTO, which can be questionable and alienate potential investors for a tech startup, but now I have a specialist and scalable collective as my CTO —STX Next. That also means I’m not shackled by the limitations of one person, one CTO, or one development team—I can tap into the knowledge of 200 developers within STX Next. The people within their company talk with each other and support each other, filling in any knowledge gaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
