Collaboration development

Data security is our speciality

We’ve been working on the Talk To Loop project together since 2020. Sonder Collective was responsible for the design and UX Design of the platform, which of course is consistent with the whole visual identity. We as Elite Crew were in charge of the implementation, security of the web application same as provided data, and the final QA part. Our specialists were involved in the project since the very beginning to help untangle complexity, advise designers on feasibility, and achieve an optimum user experience. Data security is our speciality. We built Talk To Loop to the highest standards of data privacy.

To learn more about what we did in this project, see the Talk To Loop case study.

Sharing our knowledge in transparency

In 2022, we started working on the next project that was the Pathways project. Once again, Sonder Collective as a Product Owner was responsible for the design and UX Design part, and we then successfully implemented the design. Once again we were involved in the early stages of the project to share our knowledge and experience. During the whole process, we closely collaborated with designers to make sure we understand each other in terms of proper design and further implementation.

Our current project

Support in design and implementation of the new website of Talk To Loop. It’s been three years since the beginning of the start of our collaboration on the Talk To Loop project. After all this time and knowledge we gained cooperating with organizations and communities we decided it was time to redesign the website. We’ve been working on this for a while.

We have started this in 2023 with next phase of Pathways project 2.0 that will be available to public in summer of 2023!

Stay tuned for the results!

Long-term partnerships pay off

We’ve done a lot so far together with Sonder Collective and our collaboration always pays off with great solutions in the social impact sector. It’s obvious that future we bring more successful projects. The expertise of our specialists and the creative thinking of Sonder Collective designers is a guarantee of success.

We can say for sure we are not just partners anymore, we are way beyond of that, we are one team now! Stay tuned for the results!

I have known Marek and his team for a few years over two companies I‘ve worked for. I must say it has been the most pleasant and successful agency collaboration I have experienced so far.

Working closely with local staff in different contexts to ensure they have what is needed to run the tool effectively and to integrate it into the local systems and approaches.

Melanie Wendland

Working with EliteCrew suited our complex project set up very well. We had many uncertainties to solve and timelines were unclear, but Elitecrew managed the development so smoothly alongside our design process. The interaction with the team was always super positive and friendly. Their independent work style and continuous communication via slack really made a difference in our busy schedules. Thank you for being such a reliable partner in this project.

Insights from the project

During the implementation of the project, I act as a backend developer. Working on the project allowed me to expand my knowledge due to the fact that we use tools with which I had little contact so far. I believe that the described project is of great value because it serves people who really need this help.

Krzysztof Kura

Back-End Developer

This is the first in my entirely carrier so innovative initiative, that engage so many, so different to each other disciplines to explore social, cultural and environmental risk factors impacting Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child Health and Nutrition (RMNCH+N).It combines research done across Northern Nigeria, Kenya and Bihar, India to further expertise analyses of researched data to in final step exposed ready to use results via web platform to global health practitioners to stratify households based on social, economic, cultural and environmental vulnerability factors that are associated with poor health outcomes.

Marek Wrzosowski

CEO

I deal with the development of the application on the backend layer. The implementation of solutions in the discussed application is invariably a big challenge for me. The fact that the introduced functionalities really help many people and organizations scattered all over the world gives additional satisfaction from the work performed. I am proud to say that I am working on an application that gives opportunities that I have not encountered in other applications. For example, our solutions can be used freely by users who cannot read and write.

Krzysztof Kura

Back-End Developer

Loop as a platform that I had to test was a huge challenge in terms of the functionalities used. In this application, we can make many combinations that we do not even know about, each time this application surprises me, very often it finds errors, for example from translations to usually search fields, with IVRR I had the pleasure to work from the very beginning, I spent many hours during testing the application itself in terms of functionality and design in Inbox and Outbox. Additionally, testing the scheduler for an automatic option that calls back the user when they cannot answer it was quite a challenge, and so far it is. Social bots are also nice to remember. A lot happened before the defects were removed from the flow. What I can say is that the platform is quite large and the application is constantly developing :))

Wojciech Błądek

Quality Assurance

What I can say about this challenging project is that it’s a well secured landing page for collecting contact details from potential customers. I had the pleasure of testing this application for desktop and mobile versions - it’s responsive, intuitive and eye-pleasing. It’s worth adding how such data is secured, thanks to data encryption, a person who does not have the key will not be able to read the customer's data. I am glad that I had the opportunity to participate in this project, it was another positive experience for me :)

Wojciech Błądek

Quality Assurance

I met the  project from the front-end side. In my opinion, the key challenge, because of the banking industry, was to provide a very secure experience. We had to be sure that every piece of information remains confidential and we achieved that by using end-to-end encryption. Also, we had to prevent cross-site scripting attacks by following Content Security Policy. On the other hand, user experience was improved by creating step by step form and implementing input validation.
