Company Core Values

what we believe in most:

and the value of the company will keep growing, too.

foundation of long term win-win partnerships with our customers.
 Project. Promote the latest software development technologies.
Help customers use them. Encourage customer involvement at all
development stages.
 Product. Always keep the product in focus. Respond in a rapid and
flexible manner to customer requests.
1.4
How we work
 Handling project requirements
 Project planning
 Performed project analysis
 Implementation phase
 Quality assurance
 Delivery and Acceptance
Based on these methodologies which are tailored to fit the
Harvestech business challenges, our development process covers
the lifecycle of a solution from project kick-off through to live
deployment.
Our development process allows us to create and maintain software
solutions iteratively within predictable budgets and schedules, due
to our progressive understanding of the requirements and the
business settings of our customers.
In order to present you our working methods and the reasons for
choosing each approach we have to enumerate the very important
things and values that we believe in, trust and respect:
 Clear methodologies
 Communication
 Specialization
 Meeting the deadlines
 Transparency
 Client’s satisfaction
1.4.1 Internal methodologies
Although we consider ourselves a dynamic company, capable to
evolve and respond to any new challenges of the IT market, we also
believe in creating, maintaining and improving clear ways to achieve
the company goals. From this point of view we have implemented
here a dynamic and evolving set of methodologies on which we
base all our activities on and try to apply in every aspect of our daily
work

4. Company
Introduction
Our development process allows us to create and maintain software
solutions iteratively within predictable budgets and schedules, due
to our progressive understanding of the requirements and the
business settings of our customers.
This approach leads to a flexible process, based on the following
phases and milestones:
 Envision
- Core team organized; Vision and scope drafted.
 Plan - Technology validation; Functional specification agreed;
Master plan agreed; Master schedule agreed; Development and
test environment set up.
 Build - Proof of concept complete; Internal build “n” complete;
Internal build “n+1” complete.
 Stabilize - Bug convergence; Zero bug bounce; Release
candidates; Pre-production test complete; User acceptance
testing complete; Pilot complete.
 Deploy - Core components deployed; Site deployments complete;
Deployment stable.
1.4.2 Specialization and Company Roles
Another very important value for our company that help us great to
achieve company’s excellent results is specialization. We believe
that one of our strengths is the unity and commitment of our team.
Each member of Harvestech team is a very good specialist in one of
the very important fields of software development:
 Design
 Project Management
 Development
 Quality Assurance
Together we all work to achieve and fulfill client’s expectations and
provide solid work and excellent quality.
1.4.3 Communication with our Clients
We consider communication process with our clients, one of the
most important aspects of our work, treating this with the same
respect as software development process for example.
Our methodology makes us to allocate a project manager for each
Harvectech client’s project. This person will be in charge (from
Harvestech side) with all the communication between us and our
client, along with all project and tasks understanding communicated
by our client.
The project manager will be the interface between the Harvestech
developers and the client..
4

5. Company
Introduction
Here are the standard communications channels that we like to
keep with our clients:
 Regular conference calls (over Skype or phone).
Usually we hold weekly conferences at same time of the week with
each of our clients. During these conferences we expect to review
last’s week activity and discuss some overview items regarding the
next one. Even more often conferences can be scheduled at any
time with the clients.
 Usage of Mantis System (Request Tracking System)
actually used by Harvestech). Each client project will have an entry
in our system, which will hold all established points for that project.
Our tracking system permits quickly tracing and monitoring any
clients request and status. Each person related with that project
(from our side or from client side) is getting a user and password in
our system, which will allow any of the following actions:
A. Report Items
B. Track status for existent ones
C. Analyze
D. Add notes or explanations
E. Change status for any registered point
 Emails
our clients can send us with any opportunity or circumstance, emails
regarding any aspect of projects. Our rule is to respond back within
less than 24 hours to any email. That means maybe not solving the
request from that email, but at least clearly explaining within our
response email, what we intend to do and how we schedule the
request solving.

6. Company
Introduction
1.4.4 Teamwork
For us, effective teamwork has always been the recipe for success.
The structure of each team is dictated either by overall company
needs (e.g. testing and technical documentation teams), or by the
specific needs of each project (i.e. project teams).
The most important outcome is that projects are set up with
maximum speed and resources are assigned flexibly, thus avoiding
bottlenecks when changes need to be implemented. The same
person may play more than one role within the same project team,
or may be involved in more projects at the same time. This way,
there is always the opportunity to improve and acquire new skills,
and nobody is missing out on the fun.
 Transparency and client information – due to our mutual agreed
estimations between us and our client and due to respect for
project planning and client’s information.
1.4.4 Benefits
To justify all the above aspects and considerations we will have to
answer who and how benefits of our exposed and trusted values.
While it is very easy to answer that the ones who benefits are
 Our clients
 Harvestech itself
we will try to present and explain the reasons for benefits.
 Quality work provided – due to our specialized people.
 Work provided on time and client’s deadlines fulfilled – due to
our clear planning and good communication.
 Costs efficiency – due to our proven methodologies we can
control and obtain rationalized costs which allow us to provide
good and competitive rates for our clients.

It is a well-known fact that globalization as well as increased local
competition and difficult economic times are putting an enormous
pressure on retailers to deliver more with less. Increasing customer
expectations are also pushing retailers to revisit their business and

loyalty. Harvestech’s approach is at the heart of this
dilemma: offering simple solutions for complex retail challenges.

strategy. Harvestech resources are skilled in all key areas of retail
operations: supply chain, warehouse and distribution operations,
store operations and finance. As your IT business partner,
Harvestech not only provides guidance and insight, we also help you
implement and support solutions that are vital for your organization,
such as:
 Customer Relationship
The overall goals are to nurture and retain existing customer and
constantly get new one, entice former customers back into the fold, and
reduce the costs of marketing. Your customers wants more choice. More
recognition. More responsiveness. More real-time transactions. And of
course a "loyalty card" that guarantees more (extra) benefits.

products.
