Melissa,

Can you give me some more info about what you're offering?

*Sure! We focus on web&mobile development and have been doing it for 10+
years for our clients. Recently, our Bloomberg app has been featured by
Facebook
<http://agileengine.com/getting-featured-on-the-react-native-showcase/> and
we have just been named as a Top App Developer by Clutch
<http://clutch.co/> *

> Specifically, how does it apply to our business? How can we use this?

Speaking of our experience in the logistics domain, we’re currently hosting
a team of 25+ people for one of our clients whose product we’re developing
is a Java-based logistics platform that helps its users forecast shipment
time estimates and evaluate risks.

I wonder do you have such challenges / needs that we can help you with?

Thanks,

Melissa,

> What are your contact details?

I have attached our standard MSA for your review. It is very fair to both
sides and we've never deals fall out because of something in it :-)

Also, what is your pricing model like?

Our pricing varies by location within Ukraine or Argentina, skills and
seniority. The rates range from $25 to $59 per hour, I’ll be happy to send
you a rate card with details.

To be clear, we are not selling the lowest rates, we are selling the best
outcome because we have the best developers (really!), which is why we get
98% retention rate from our clients :-)

Could we have a short call to discuss the specifics?

Sure! What time-zone are you currently in?

Let me know and I will send you a couple of available time-slots.

Melissa,

Sure.

We offer our clients blended rates which allow to keep the high
productivity following cost-effective approach. For example, Junior
developer plus one senior would be ($25 + $43)/2 = $34 blended rate. If you
want to use an architect it is $54 but you wouldn't need a lot of hours.

Also, we can do a discount if you would like to build a team of 10+ people
with us.

Are there any options that would fit your budget expectations?

Melissa,

I can definitively line up a couple of references but let's do the actual
reach out when are you ready to move forward with the next steps.

You can see our client interviews and feedback
<https://clutch.co/developers/san-francisco> on clutch.co, it's actually
very detailed. Clutch agents interview our references and ask their own
questions so this is 100% real.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.
