OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with koitechs?

I had an app idea, and I needed someone to develop it.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Koitechs has been developing a check-in app and website for us. The app allows users to check-in when they go to a business and receive a page that shows relevant information; if they go to a grocery store, they get a sales flyer. 

What is the team composition?

I’ve been working with one of the co-owners and a couple of front- and backend web and app developers.

How did you come to work with koitechs?

I interacted with one of the co-owners in a different context, so I have familiarity and trust with him. When I came up with the idea for this project, I reached out to him and offered his help.

How much have you invested in them?

We invest around $5,000 a month with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

How did koitechs perform from a project management standpoint?

At first, I was doing project management myself because it was smaller. But as it started getting bigger, they assigned a project manager from their side to act as a layer between their development team and me.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their pricing is competitive, and the quality of their product is just as good, if not better, than the one that other companies would’ve developed.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The more clarity you have with the idea in your head, the better chance you give koitechs to succeed on your project. Otherwise, it’s hard for anyone to help you.

We involved Koitechs to help us scale the front-end development of our client’s data management platform.

Koitechs was engaged to strengthen our internal capacity with skilled React + TypeScript developers capable of handling both architectural and implementation-level tasks. While we focused on back-end development.

All milestones were delivered on time or ahead of schedule, and the team showed impressive flexibility when priorities shifted. What stood out most was how responsive they were — whenever we raised an issue or proposed a feature change, they reacted immediately with practical solutions and realistic time estimates.

Their account and tech leads provided excellent oversight, ensuring both technical quality and smooth communication between developers and our internal team. Overall, the experience felt like working with an in-house extension of our own team rather than an external partner.

What was your primary form of communication with koitechs?

Virtual Meeting

What impressed us most about Koitechs was their combination of technical excellence and ownership mindset. They don’t just write code — they truly think about the product, the user experience, and the long-term scalability of what they’re building.

Their developers quickly adapted to our complex data structure and ML-driven logic, suggesting optimizations that improved both performance and usability. Communication was another highlight — clear, honest, and fast.
