Full experience - Merixstudio & MNYMSTRS

00:04 → 00:08

I'm Roy Dunlop and I work at MNYMSTRS.

00:08 → 00:11

Our product is geared around financial education.

00:11 → 00:14

We have a platform that aims to

00:14 → 00:18

be a a way for people to learn about

00:18 → 00:21

finance in a very easy way in a in a guided manner.

00:21 → 00:24

Part of the the origin of the company comes from the fact

00:24 → 00:29

that our CEO came from Guatemala and he realized

00:29 → 00:30

that even, you know,

00:30 → 00:33

people who go to university will frequently not really

00:33 → 00:36

learn about basic personal finance.

00:36 → 00:40

When David started with the idea,

00:40 → 00:43

he already had quite a fully fledged kind of concept

00:43 → 00:45

of what did he what he wanted.

00:45 → 00:47

But largely, those were were wireframes.

00:47 → 00:50

The real designs came from from Merixstudio,

00:50 → 00:53

so they helped us a lot in terms of fleshing out the the

00:53 → 00:57

actual product and putting some sort of meat on the

00:57 → 00:58

shape that we had.

00:58 → 01:01

David investigated a lot of different development

01:01 → 01:05

possibilities and he had worked with some development houses previously.

01:05 → 01:08

So he had one in mind,

01:08 → 01:13

but he found that they were very expensive and particularly for

01:14 → 01:18

the initial phases where there was just discovery and and,

01:19 → 01:21

you know, trying to figure out how things were gonna work.

01:21 → 01:24

I think he shortlisted five or six different companies

01:24 → 01:27

and Merixstudio was the sort of leader in terms of

01:27 → 01:29

engagement and value as well.

01:29 → 01:31

Working with Merixstudio has been good.

01:31 → 01:35

They have talented staff, particularly during the

01:35 → 01:39

pandemic when it's been difficult to do things face to face.

01:39 → 01:42

We've still managed to work online successfully.

01:42 → 01:45

The overall cooperation has worked well.

01:45 → 01:47

There's a range of people to speak to at Ericsson,

01:47 → 01:49

so you get the the whole experience.

01:49 → 01:51

I mean, one of the things that I really like is,

01:51 → 01:54

particularly at the initial phases,

01:54 → 01:58

the the integration between UX design front end and back

01:58 → 02:03

end, and the fact that that team all works together and

02:03 → 02:07

I think that that gives a very nice complete

02:07 → 02:09

package in

02:09 → 02:14

terms of the overall app development and,

02:14 → 02:16

you know, what you get at the end of the day.

02:16 → 02:18

Happy to be working with Merixstudio.
