Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We partnered with GeekyAnts to accelerate the development of a new product, engaging them as an extended part of our core team. Their collaboration significantly enhanced our technical design and implementation capabilities throughout the project lifecycle.

The GeekyAnts team was responsible for developing both the API layer and front-end applications critical to the product’s functionality. Given that this product operates within the financial services domain, they adhered strictly to all security, compliance, and data protection standards required by our customers and industry regulations.

Beyond execution, GeekyAnts contributed valuable technical expertise and architectural insights, helping shape the overall design and scalability of the solution. Their proactive involvement went beyond simply implementing specifications — they acted as true partners in innovation.

The project manager from their team played a pivotal role in coordinating across multiple internal and external teams, ensuring seamless communication, effective task management, and timely delivery. Thanks to their structured approach and commitment to quality, we were able to deliver the product on schedule and to the high standards we envisioned.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The team successfully validated the capabilities and scalability of the selected technology platform through a series of architectural, and scalabiltiy benchmarks and proof-of-concept demonstrations, confirming its suitability for enterprise-grade financial applications.

We received highly positive feedback from beta customers, particularly highlighting the ease of use, and the way our product is a drop in replacement for their legacy applications.

The beta launch provided critical insights that are now being incorporated into the next release cycle, setting a solid foundation for more configurable product which can be extended for other business lines.

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

The GeekyAnts team demonstrated exceptional responsiveness and professionalism throughout the engagement. A dedicated project manager was assigned full-time to our project, serving as the primary liaison between our product management team and the development team.

The project manager effectively managed incoming requirements, ensured clear communication of priorities, and maintained a structured agile workflow. They oversaw the planning and execution of sprints, coordinated release cycles, and proactively addressed dependencies and potential risks. This disciplined approach enabled smooth collaboration, timely deliverables, and consistent alignment with our overall product roadmap. 

The team was highly responsive to critical feedback, demonstrating a strong commitment to continuous improvement and collaboration. They actively incorporated our inputs in real time, enabling us to make proactive course corrections during the development process. This agility and openness to feedback were key in keeping the project on track, ensuring alignment with our objectives, and maintaining both quality and delivery timelines.

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

One of the most notable differentiators in working with the GeekyAnts team was their strong sense of collaboration and ownership. The team’s project and technical leaders consistently took full responsibility for every aspect of their work, going well beyond the standard expectations of a service partner. They demonstrated a deep commitment to product success — even proactively coordinating with other teams to identify and resolve issues outside their immediate scope that could have impacted the overall solution’s quality or stability.

Unlike many service-oriented teams that operate with a “we did what was asked” mindset, GeekyAnts approached the engagement as true partners, taking initiative, anticipating challenges, and focusing on outcomes rather than task completion. This proactive attitude, accountability, and work ethic were instrumental in fostering a close, trust-based collaboration, which is essential when building complex, high-quality products.

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

None at the moment.

The work included building the full front end using React Native under our specification and an AWS backend using our selected technologies.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We had regular Pull Request for audits of the produced code and we kept regular scheduled meeting to keep the team aligned. Using this method we were able to produce a fully featured application that corresponds to the proposed project. As the project evolved challenges arose but were dealt with in a swift and diligent fashion.

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

We knew coming to the projects that there would be some challenges and that some setbacks were expected as it is in the nature of project development. We were always directly solicited when problems arose but solutions and options were proposed to keep the project on track and ongoing. Despite some bumps along the way development met the expected timelines and efforts were made where they were needed to keep the agenda in check.

What was your primary form of communication with GeekyAnts?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

GeekyAnts shines because their human relationships meet their offering of top talent. We were amazed how accessible the company is on all levels. From the very first interaction with the company to working with programmers everyone is onboard and easily reachable. Communications are always answered diligently which makes working with a remote company a breeze. The whole team associated with our project was always there to help and went beyond to assure everything would go as smooth as possible.

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

The only thing I can see to improve is the different project management platforms that every programmer tends to use is always different from one another which can become cumbersome sometimes.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Having created our web app using a third party we were dissatisfied with the finer details of its operation which GeekyAnts very quickly solved for us, along with deployment, it seemed to be a breeze for the "Ants". Our web application was up and running in the blink of an eye with all the stability and security we could ever wish for, they knew exactly what we needed within our budget and they supplied it without fuss. That web project ran for three years without further intervention thanks to the GeekyAnts.

We needed GeekyAnts services to fix bugs and enhance our web application by implementing some complicated features such as Role Based Access Control, Audit Reports, Progress Trails, and DB schema cleanup. We also needed them to fix number of UI bugs to make the web application more presentable and closer to the finalized designs.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

• from the list of UI bugs, engineers fixed all of them in the set timeframe 
• from the list of additional features, engineers implemented all of them accurately and even enhanced some existing features by revamping the db schema and code refactoring 
• optimized the saving functionality, which was taking a lot of time before. Reduced the save tie from 15 seconds to ~5 seconds.

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

Yes, everything was delivered on time. The most helpful aspect of the team that helped us keep track of things was the daily sync-ups. We discussed what engineers worked on the day before and what they are going to pick up next. Any doubts or questions were resolved early, which helped the team deliver within the decided timeframe. One engineer in the team had to leave the project in between because of a family emergency. GeekyAnts provided a more qualified resource immediately to take up the remaining work to meet the deadlines.

• More communication during the execution of the project during the last phases of the delivery 
• More robust tracking methods implemented to understand the progress and more granular tracking of smaller tasks.
