TechAhead

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Bundle, an app marketplace designed to connect firewood buyers and sellers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with TechAhead?

We needed help with mobile app design and development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

TechAhead has designed and developed our iOS and Android mobile app. The team has used Figma for the design process.

What was the team composition? 

We’ve worked with around six teammates from TechAhead, including a designer, a product manager, and several developers. I’ve also worked with a customer success manager.

How did you come to work with TechAhead?

I found TechAhead through a Google search and came across their Clutch profile. The team was very good in their pitch to me and allowed me to speak with several of their clients to get real testimonials from happy customers. TechAhead also offered an affordable price. Overall, the team married competency with an affordable price, so I felt confident moving forward with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent roughly $35,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2025, and the engagement is ongoing. We recently went live with the app.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

TechAhead has delivered quality work and functionality. The team is always patient with me and goes through multiple iterations to produce the desired results. If I were to learn how to code and try to do this myself, it would take at least a decade. I know I could do it on my own, but I don’t know how to quantify time or money saved with this project.

How did TechAhead perform from a project management standpoint?

Some back-and-forth communication has taken longer than I thought, but there’s never been a problem with getting the quality and functionality I want. TechAhead’s customer success manager understood my project immediately and started answering questions I didn’t even ask yet, anticipating problems I hadn’t thought of yet. As a result, I know I’m in good hands.

Moreover, TechAhead’s project manager is very good at liaising and speaking with developers. They also translate for me. I don’t know exactly how many people are working behind the scenes, but everything is going as expected in terms of deadlines and budget.

We use Microsoft Teams and Figma to share things, but Figma never loads on my desktop or phone. Once a week, I get lucky, and Figma loads on my computer.

What did you find most impressive about them?

TechAhead’s customer success manager understood my project immediately and started answering questions I didn’t even ask yet, anticipating problems I hadn’t thought of yet. As a result, I know I’m in good hands.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I sometimes have trouble understanding the team because they’re based in India, and the audio on my computer isn’t the best. However, we always get where we need to go.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Don’t hesitate to work with TechAhead. You can spend $100,000 somewhere else, and they might do a better job. However, you can spend a third of that and have something pretty awesome.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the owner of Smox Trimsetters LLC, a booking platform for barbers, hairstylists, tattoo artists, and other beauty professionals. Our platform enables these professionals to manage their bookings, and clients can set appointments or purchase products.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with techahead?

I needed help with mobile app development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

techahead has been developing our mobile app. Initially, techahead sent me the scope of work and what they found after looking through what I submitted to them. They’ve also let me know what would be best for me moving forward. techahead sent me a price quote, the timeline, and a milestone breakdown. 

I provided techahead access to various hosting platforms, the Google and iOS applications, AWS, and GoDaddy. Our app serves as a virtual secretary for barbers and beauty professionals. Clients can use the app to book appointments without calling and interrupting the service. They can prepay and schedule their appointments based on the services provided by the professionals. The professionals can also set their availability and business hours.

All clients within their database can get push notifications when the stylist won’t be in for a day, a holiday, or a lunch break. This allows them to stay ahead of one another and be on the same page without any pushback or misinformation. 

Additionally, techahead has a marketing department that will help me with app store optimization.

What is the team composition?

My main point of contact is Abhinav.

How did you come to work with techahead?

I came across TechAhead through ChatGPT. I did different prompts, and techahead’s name kept coming up. I looked more into them and asked ChatGPT questions. It gave me the reassurance and confidence I needed to use them to finish this project.

techahead was the seventh development company I worked with. I started this project in 2019 through Upwork and kept running into a snag with each developer. I found a developer before techahead on a different website, and they couldn't accomplish what I needed. The team shared their credentials and previous work with me, and I was impressed with their work for reputable companies.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $48,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in December 2019, and our relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

My customers have gotten used to the application. They often tell me it’s a good idea and that it would be nice if more barbers used that method.

I measure success by the app’s functionality. I’m testing it, and techahead is working on another app. They’re making another app while I’m using this one, so it doesn’t interrupt the flow.

How did TechAhead perform from a project management standpoint?

techahead has stayed on budget and on time. We communicate through Microsoft Teams. techahead is transparent and clear in their communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m impressed with techahead’s professionalism. They explain exactly what’s going on, and there is no runaround. Each time they deliver something, I’m amazed. I’ve had no problems with any of that.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on. They’re top-tier.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Communicate to them what you expect. They don’t have a problem with telling you that back. You don’t have to sugarcoat anything. They're techahead; they're ahead of other tech companies.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The redesigned app delivered by TechAhead brought several measurable improvements that clearly demonstrated the success of the project. One of the most significant outcomes was a noticeable increase in user engagement. After the launch, we observed that users were spending more time within the app, navigating through features more confidently, and completing tasks with fewer errors. This indicated a substantial improvement in usability and the intuitiveness of the overall design.

Additionally, we saw a marked reduction in support tickets and user complaints related to confusion or difficulty using the app—especially among drivers and single car owners, who previously faced challenges with the older interface. The new role-specific layouts and streamlined navigation helped users better understand and interact with key features such as vehicle health checks, Bluetooth-based door control, ignition immobilization, offers, e-skills, service scheduling, summary reports, live tracking, and trip replay.

The project also moved smoothly through testing phases, with minimal revisions required—highlighting how TechAhead translated our requirements into a fully functional solution. Feedback from the internal team and test users was overwhelmingly positive, particularly around the clean visuals, logical structure, and ease of control for both basic and advanced functionalities.

Overall, the measurable impact of the redesign reaffirmed that our decision to partner with TechAhead was well-placed. The project not only modernized our app visually but also significantly elevated the user experience across all key user groups.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

TechAhead managed the project efficiently and delivered all promised features on time. They were responsive to our needs, made changes when we requested, and maintained clear communication throughout the process. Their project management was smooth and reliable.

What was your primary form of communication with techahead?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most about TechAhead was their strong focus on user-centric design and their ability to understand our product vision quickly. They translated our functionalities into a clean, intuitive interface tailored for all users. Their attention to detail, design clarity, and responsiveness throughout the project truly set them apart.

Are there any areas for improvement or something techahead could have done differently?

The main area for improvement was around timing and communication. Since we provided the APIs, some meetings were scheduled late in our working hours, which made coordination a bit challenging. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm an individual who created a mobile app called CameraLink. I'm the founder and run everything for it, including marketing and development, like the CEO.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with techahead?

I needed help developing my app.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

techahead has developed an app for Android and iOS based on my interface designs. Initially, I showed them the screens I wanted the app to have and how it should run. techahead and I have started with an NDA and a discovery call to understand what I wanted the app to do and how I imagined it to work, and techahead provided feedback, which was very useful.

We had a kick-off call and signed the contract, which they adjusted per my requests.

The app is a camera app that links users with other people for shared albums they create together. When a user takes photos or videos through the camera, the other person has immediate access to those photos and videos. Users can also make a customized and shareable checklist. 

What is the team composition?

There are around nine people on the team, including a project manager, a VP of delivery, a CCO, a frontend technical lead, a backend technical lead, a CTO, a senior business analyst, a UX designer, and a senior quality analyst.

How did you come to work with techahead?

I found them on Clutch. I spoke to the top three companies and decided to go with techahead.

How much have you invested with them?

I've spent almost $25,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2024, and the engagement is ongoing. We've just launched the app, and techahead provides three months of post-launch support.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The quality of techahead's work has met my expectations, and I'm delighted with the app's quality; it looks like a professionally-made app.

How did TechAhead perform from a project management standpoint?

The project has been on budget. I've had some additional requests, and techahead has been on top of everything. We haven't had to deal with anything out of our control that needed more hours to pivot. The team has taken those costs themselves and hasn't asked me to pay more.

We had to delay the app's release slightly because I wanted to do extra things, and something that was out of our control. However, I haven't had issues because I'm not rushing. We've gone back and forth with the app, but everything has been clear, professional, and timely.

techahead updates me on the progress with weekly reports, so I don't need to chase anyone. The team has also shared a three-page slide deck report through email.

We had many video calls at the beginning of the project, where the team understood what I wanted the app to do and how I wanted the screens to look. After that, we had calls twice a week, which became weekly calls. Now, we mainly communicate through email or WhatsApp.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The whole process has felt very professional.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We've had four milestones, and after every milestone, techahead has performed a QA stage where they've tested the app. Some things didn't work, and I thought QA would have picked that up. However, the team has acknowledged it and fixed the bugs and issues. techahead should've noticed before delivering the app to me.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It's always good to come prepared. I was very well prepared with detailed visuals of what I wanted the app to do and how. That helped get an accurate quote, so I didn’t have a lot of add-ons in terms of cost. If my sketches were only 70% correct, most costs would creep in, making it more complicated as a project.

Have a good view of how you want the app to work, what you want it to do, and what you want it to look like. The process will be easy for techahead to understand.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the administrator of Fan Dubb, a ticketing company for tournaments and individual games. We provide ticketing services for travel ball, baseball, and other sports.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with techahead?

We wanted to add a sports app to our portfolio, so we hired techahead to help us develop it.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

techahead is leading this project. I initially presented them with the idea, and they’re helping us bring it to life. They’ve provided everything that goes into the app and given me step-by-step instructions on how to develop it. I’m working closely with them, and they make sure I’m satisfied before we move on to the next step. They’re using Figma for the designs and React Native to develop the app.

techahead has also designed our website from scratch. I approved the designs and colors, but they did everything else.

What makes our company different is that our ticketing is digital. Tournament hosts can assign users, and they’ll have a scanning device on their phones to scan the digital tickets. Users can put these tickets digitally in their wallets and share them with anybody.

What is the team composition?

I’ve met 7–8 different people from their team. Every person I speak to has a different specialty. including Anuradha who's been awesome.

How did you come to work with techahead?

I searched online for different tech companies. I went through a couple before I got to techahead. I read their reviews and saw that they specialized in sports apps. Everything checked out, so we decided to call them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $35,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in January 2025, and our relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

My whole team is satisfied with their work, and we’re excited for the app to be rolled out.

How did techahead perform from a project management standpoint?

When we’re in meetings, I like that it’s not just my set of eyes and ears. For instance, when one person explains what they’re doing or if anybody sees anything that needs to be brought up, they say it and don’t sit back and let me be the one to call things out. When I have questions in our meetings, one of the team members stops the presentation and helps me figure things out. They also correct things right there on the spot. Overall, they work well as a team and treat the project as if it's theirs.

We’re ahead of schedule, which is good because one of my partners runs travel ball tournaments. We communicate using Microsoft Teams and email.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Anuradha has been awesome to work with. She's always on time and does everything the way she draws it.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their strength is in their attention to detail. They always iron out all the kinks and see my vision better than anybody I’ve ever worked with.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, everything they’ve done has been perfect and professional. I love working with them; they feel like family.
