Hi there!

We're a software services company based out of Canada and are currently looking at options for scaling out our busniess by supplementing our workforce with contractors. I was impressed by your work on Modern Serverless!

I was hoping to understand a bit more about the tech stacks you work with, and also about your pricing. Are you primarily only seeking/JavaScript project or do you also do other stacks? Do you bill on an hourly basis or a per-project basis?

Thanks!
Akshay

In the first few workshops, we identified the key asks of the project.

Setting up Canada-Singapore calls was easy since we were just a flip of AM and PM. A few calls focused on Adapta's vision got us aligned on the key deliverables.

People with different abilities

Public transport can be challenging for people with reduced accessibility, and on-demand transport is often even tougher. Our goal with Adapta was to make it easy and delightful for everyone.

People in remote areas

People in remote areas often struggle with last-mile transport, whether it’s the infrequent bus to the main train station or the pricey on-demand taxi. Demand-responsive transit aims to solve this issue.

An accessible interface

Tech-challenged users often struggle with modern on-demand transport apps. Our goal was to close that gap by creating a deceptively simple interface that works for everyone.

Inspiration

Drawing Inspiration from government design systems

Government design systems are great at getting accessibility and simplicity right, designed to work for everyone. We've taken inspiration from some of the best examples from around the world.

After ideation, research and rapid prototyping, we decided to build a rider app

We set out to do more than just another ride-sharing app — to #GetGrandmaMoving. Custom options, whitelabel solution, and built-in accessibility, all baked in.

Designing for Accessibility

Our goal was to ensure anyone, regardless of ability, could use the app. By following WCAG 2.0 Level AA guidelines, we built a seamless, accessible experience for all.

Founder, Adapta Solutions, Inc

I first became aware of Quinence through their educational technical course: Modern Fullstack. After evaluating and observing the quality of the course, Adapta commenced a technical engagement with Ratul and Quinence to build a prototype for a new software product Adapta planned to offer to its clients.

Throughout our engagement with Ratul and his company, I witnessed Ratul's technical leadership and thoughtful management of the project.

They worked through ambiguity to deliver a product meeting our high bar, working diligently to ensure the project's success. Quinence deliveredabove and beyond my expectations, and I would not hesitate to work with them again.
