A sports betting marketplace has collaborated with KitelyTech to develop a mobile application. The team has initially conducted a discovery phase and commenced with the development of the beta version.
While the development is still ongoing, KitelyTech thus far has successfully worked in sprints, following an agile methodology. The team utilizes Slack to maintain constant communication and Figma for the designs. They've gone above and beyond in pressure tests, ensuring excellent UX flows.

For what projects/services did your company hire KitelyTech, and what were your goals?

We found them online and we researched available reviews, after an interview and code review we decided to choose them
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

A Sales Lead, Project lead, scrum master, and two developers were assigned to us.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The management team has gone above and beyond to pressure-test ideas and designs for accurate UX flows and layouts.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the founder of a new movie review and discovery website
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire KitelyTech, and what were your goals?
I needed an affordable app for my website and also to supplement development with some outside assistance on an ongoing basis.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
I found KitelyTech on Clutch along with 6 other companies and Kitely was the only one who could deliver the solution I was asking for. They maintained great communication and got the app deployed for Apple and Android. Now we are working on enhancements and they are helping with the website workload.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
They used React Native to wrap my mobile display, per my request, and deployed it for Apple and Android successfully. We are working on notifications delivery system linking the web app to the app tile to gain the benefit of native app experience for users and they assist with features of the website itself because of their broad skill base.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
I have worked with 4 people;
a business liaison/project manager
a designated project manager
two senior developers (CTO) with the language skills I needed
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
They were able to pick up the work load I couldn't put on the other development team and work smoothly with my other developers to get the app launched and also assist with core web development such as account creation bugs.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
Project management is solid. Katie is responsible for forming the relationship from the beginning by going above and beyond when I thought there wasn't a chance and maintaining ongoing dialogue/transparency. Now we have Bryan added to the team and he is very on-the-ball at all times.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Whatever the issue is, they have someone who can address it. I think that if I have a problem, I can reach out to them and feel confident they can take the work and get it done.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
I've mentioned to them that I personally enjoy using GitHub as a platform to create project specific posts, but that might just be a personal preference and there may be similar options elsewhere I just don't know about yet. I'm not concerned.

KitelyTech helped a full-service soccer agency build their website from scratch. They implemented certain features and made sure the design aligned with the client’s goals and vision.
The client was thrilled with their new website, which helped them attract and gain several new leads across Europe. KitelyTech fully understood what the client wanted, allowing them to deliver a final product that met expectations. They were attentive, communicative, and punctual throughout.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I am the managing director of International Dymension. We are a soccer agency, and we represent soccer players who are currently playing in Europe and North America. I am based in Florida.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with KitelyTech?
I needed a high-level website built so that I could market to prospective clients and different people in the soccer industry worldwide. I also wanted a website so that people could look at the profiles of our players, our achievements, and find information about us.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We had an initial phase, where I let them know what I was looking for and suggested specific designs for the website. The site was built from scratch.
What is the team composition?
We worked with 3–4 people, including a project leader, lead designer, and someone who worked on the content.
How did you come to work with KitelyTech?
I was searching through Google, and their company came up.
How much have you invested in them?
We invested about $30,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked with them from about May–October 2020.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They did a phenomenal job on building our website; we were very thrilled with it. As a result, we started to get a lot of traffic and received several emails from big European clubs that wanted to sign our players. To be specific, we got emails from German, French, Dutch, and Russian clubs through our contact info on the website.
How did KitelyTech perform from a project management standpoint?
They were exceptional. Their team communicated well, understood what we wanted, and listened attentively. More importantly, they met all deadlines and stayed within budget — it was $30,000 well spent. We used Slack, Zoom, phone calls, and email to communicate.
What did you find most impressive about them?
What stood out was the fact that they really understood what we wanted, how we wanted to be marketed, and how we wanted the website to look and function. They also added their own inputs before executing and delivering everything we wanted. Overall, their ability to take in information and execute and deliver what we needed was impressive.
Are there any areas they could improve?
To my knowledge, they did everything exceptionally well. I don’t think they could’ve done anything differently or better.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Your company is your own unique brand and vision, so you have to know exactly what you want your company to represent, Once you do, explain it to them clearly, and they’ll put their skillset to work in capturing what you want.

KitelyTech was tasked with developing a website for a nonprofit special needs organization. The client wanted them to quickly create a budget-friendly site that looks professional.
KitelyTech's output allowed the client to apply for federal and private grants, which the client has been looking forward to. KitleyTech demonstrated excellence that saved the client from possibly shutting down. Moreover, they felt like they were on equal ground throughout the engagement.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the president and founder of Unique Care Connect which is a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of the special needs community by providing the first virtual platform that brings all the resources family may need to one common platform.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire KitelyTech, and what were your goals?
Unique Care Connect is still very much a start up and we had spent the majority of our seed money on app development, but in the meantime we needed to have a professional website. Which is what we hired KitelyTech to do since we had been accepted in their startup scholarship program they gave us a fixed price which fit into our budget.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We selected KitelyTech because we had an impossible list of demands: we needed a site to look extremely professional, done fairly quickly, and we needed done much cheaper than any major company had quoted us at. Since KitelyTech is truly concerned about making the world a better place they have a program called their Startup Scholarship program which they offer expedited services at a greatly discounted rate and personal mentoring. Which met all of our impossible demands.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
The site needed to display all the content we wanted to, gather a mailing list from our newsletter sign up and be able to accept donations via paypal. After getting into their startup program the experience was incredible. I was introduced to the team that I would be working with and we set up a weekly time for us to meet and to be presented with all the progress.
After I told the graphic designer my vision in our introduction meeting, the following week at our first weekly meeting I was absolutely blown away with how well he was able to encompass my vision on his very first try. In between meetings any thoughts I had I would just email whoever I needed and would always get a speedy reply. The final product was everything i wanted. https://uniquecareconnect.org/
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
The team from KitelyTech was made up of 5 people.
1st was Jason he was the CEO and founder of the company he hand selected our project for the startup scholarship program and he personally made sure everything went smoothly.
Then there was Brendan and Katie who both interviewed me for the startup scholarship program and were big advocates for me to get accepted into the program, Katie would become the main project manager and would be my main contact if I had any questions about the scope or any questions regarding payment.
The next was Kurt Vor he was the graphic designer and was extremely personable and was able to capture my vision almost perfectly after just one introductory conversation.
And last but not least was Randall Barron who was the backend engineer, there were others who worked with Randall to make sure all the hosting features on AWS worked out but Randall was my main contact for any backend questions.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The site launched just a couple days ago and we've already seen some private donations as a result of it as well as a big influx for our mailing list. Having the site allows us to apply for federal and private grants. Also allows to approach much larger companies and has made us more legit.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
Once the team was selected we were all put into a Slack Channel groupchat together. While this was useful I found emailing directly with whoever I needed to speak to was just as effective, and usually the response time was just a few hours if it was the first email of the day. I made it clear that we needed this project done in six weeks and they were able to accomplish it in five.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
What I found to be most impressive about KitelyTech was the air of excellence that each member of the team carried themselves with. Even though my project was quite literally a "charity case" (my words not theirs).
Not once did I feel like they were ever distracted by another full paying client's project, and never did it feel like they had the attitude of like they were doing me a favor, which in reality they were, but still I always felt as a partner with them never beneath them. And then on top of it they delivered one hell of site thats super clean and fully functional.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Not really in all aspects they had it covered in the most positive way possible.

For what projects/services did your company hire KitelyTech, and what were your goals?
We retained the services of Kitley Tech to design and build a highly sophisticated and technology driven web site to compete with some of the Flagship Smartphone Manufacturers such as Apple and Samsung
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
Through the countless Google searches and after reading dozens of reviews we reached out to Kitley Tech. We called on Saturday AM the CEO called us back the next day. We spoke for at least an hour and our team was immediately convinced that we had made the right call. It was clear to us that Kitley Tech had an understanding of what our product was all about, the audience we were looking to target, and had the resources to meet the objective and goal.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
I can’t imagine I more challenging task than the one we had presented to Kitley Tech. The degree of difficulty would be on par with that of a bioscience company or that of a high-end automobile manufacturer. By its very nature and design, The Cloak Phone was and is a highly sophisticated device that incorporated advanced blockchain technology as well patented proprietary security features designed by both mechanical and electrical engineers from several different countries.
The website needed to convey an extremely complex technology in the most simple and understanding way to our targeted customers. We needed the highest level of advanced digital imaging, 3D capabilities, as well as high-resolution demonstrations.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
The team at Kitley Tech was extremely committed immediately from the start. The CEO, Jason W. made himself available for all stages of the design and development. On early and at every stage the team had a precise understanding of needs and took the time to understand the nature of the technology behind the device itself.
More importantly, the entire team seemed committed to building the most professionally engineered website that could and would rival that of some of the other marquee brands
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The team at Kitley Tech finished on time. They delivered a standard of quality and digital presentation that remains unmatched by any technology driven start up in my opinion…
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
The team at Kitley became engaged immediately. The level of communication was excellent at every stage. They laid out exactly what they intended to do and explained to our team exactly the manner in which the task was to be executed.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
I was impressed with their ability to listen and interpret the highly technical nature of our device. Their questions were both insightful and creatively inspiring to our team. The end result was extremely sophisticated, amazingly vibrant and uniquely designed web site. There efforts collectively gave our Brand “The Cloak Phone” an identity that personified exactly what we wanted to represent to both the Smartphone Ecosystem and more importantly our customers…
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Absolutely not

DataMax is a 130+ year-old company, operating nationwide as a third-party debt collection agency, based out of Winston-Salem, NC. We work with municipalities, as well as businesses who operate in the medical, housing rentals or utilities industries.
At DataMax, we offer our clients a partnership, not a vendor mentality, with unparalleled customer service to both our clients and consumers. I am the Marketing Assistant & Office Manager; celebrating my 36th service anniversary.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire KitelyTech, and what were your goals?
Our original website was created several years ago and had become outdated. We do not have in-house talent with abilities to design a new website and logo, so we hired the team at KitelyTech to design and develop a WordPress site for our company. We believe this new site will increase traffic as well as showcase our company’s services.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
This vendor was recommended by a business contact. We evaluated KitelyTech as well as a few others. Our decision to use KitelyTech was made based on the examples of other projects, design skills, and their cost estimate.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
After meeting with the KitelyTech team and establishing goals and objectives, they delivered mock-ups and framework for our site. Following a few iterations, their team designed and developed an informational WordPress site. They updated the content to reflect our company’s services and created a landing page with a contact form.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We had a project manager who was our main point of contact for the project. There were 2 full stack developers and a designer working behind the scenes.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
There was at least a 70% increase in traffic and leads. Clients love the updated site and have a much better understanding of our service offerings.
Our internal team also had other comments for KitelyTech. One person wrote: "Working with KitelyTech on our company’s website was a very positive experience. They gave great customer service and delivered a great product in a timely manner. We now have an impressive website showcasing our company."
Another said: "My company recently contracted with KitelyTech to build a new website enabling us to communicate our services to clients and potential clients. We had a very positive experience with KitelyTech and are very satisfied with their customer service as well as the product they delivered. I would definitely recommend them!"
Another said: My experience working with KitelyTech was very positive. The team members we worked with were responsive to our input and were easy to work with. We had an effective timeline and had no problem with deliverables. I would absolutely recommend KitelyTech and their team!
And finally: "Having recently completed a website development project with KitelyTech, I can say that they certainly met my expectations! KitelyTech’s team gave great customer service and worked well within the timeline agreed upon. They have a professional management style and worked to satisfy our company’s requests in an impressive manner."
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
We had a weekly team meeting as well as an end of week follow-up email. If there were any issues on either side, they were communicated and handled in a timely manner. We used Slack for most communication.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They were well equipped for the job they were contracted to do. They took time to teach our staff how to make edits for future site revisions of content.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
We had one minor communication glitch. It was discussed and rectified immediately and the project was finished as planned.

KitelyTech designed and developed an iOS mobile app from scratch that allows users to store and exchange business cards. The team used sketches provided by stakeholders and also offered their own insights.
KitelyTech satisfied the requirements by translating an idea into a tangible product that has garnered high praise from early users. The team responded quickly to any questions or requests, and they proved to be readily accessible at any time of the day. Their communication set them apart.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
A friend and I started creating an app about a year ago with the idea of improving the digital business card. We’re trying to find the quickest way to both exchange and store information. Most business card apps right now are centered around storage, and we’re trying to figure out a way that exchange can happen as seamlessly as a paper business card. We’re focusing on getting information from one person to another as quickly and efficiently as possible.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with KitelyTech?
My partner and I were both business students, and we had no knowledge of coding, software development, or app development. We needed a team to help us bring our idea to life.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
KitelyTech built our iOS mobile app from scratch. We gave them a bunch of our sketches as well as written details of our ideas. We were pretty clear as to what we wanted at the beginning, but as we started talking to them, they had a lot of good feedback and different ideas. While the end product is very similar to the sketches and mockups we gave them, there were definitely some deviations that we talked through, and that worked out great.
What is the team composition?
We mostly collaborated with one person. However, during the design phase, we spoke with another person as well.
They were extremely good at communicating back and forth with us; we were able to email or text them, and they’d answer at almost all hours of the day.
How did you come to work with KitelyTech?
My partner’s friend had his app built by them, and he’d had a great experience. While we were looking, KitelyTech’s name came up. We did some more due diligence on them, and we decided that it would make sense to go with them.
What is the status of this engagement?
Our work together began in July or August 2019, and they’re wrapping up this month, August 2020. Development is done. We just uploaded it to TestFlight, so we’re still talking to them regarding small things that come up.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The app just went up on TestFlight a week or two ago, and we’ve had a few people use it there. They’ve said that they really like the app and that it’s not buggy. Based on my experience testing and using the app, I think KitelyTech has done a great job. Whenever there were issues, whether it was with development or things we realized needed changing, they were super responsive and able to fix those issues quickly.
How did KitelyTech perform from a project management standpoint?
In terms of project management, I thought they did a fantastic job. There were several times when we reached out with a wide range of requests or questions, and they got back to us with answers pretty quickly. The whole speed of the project was good. It slowed down toward the end a bit, but I think that was mostly due to our communication slowing down and COVID-19.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Overall, the communication is what really impressed me. We were able to work with them whenever we needed, and they answered all of our calls, emails, and texts pretty much right away. That was extremely helpful to us.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I don’t have much criticism. They gave us a major discount because we were young and right out of college, and they were interested in working with us. Once we paid off the phases in the set contract, they did charge us full price for any additional tweaks we wanted to make. It was a little expensive, but I honestly don’t know what the market rate is.
Any advice for potential customers?
Work with them — they’re great. Keep up communication, because they’re very good with that. Be sure to clearly define early on what you want out of it and how much it’s going to be; I got the sense that if it wasn’t as clearly defined and things changed more, the price probably would’ve increased.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the owner of JR Glenn Law.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with KitelyTech?
There are well over 100,000 lawyers in the state of Illinois. I’m in Chicago where there are a number of solo practitioners and small firms. We wanted to differentiate ourselves and increase our recognition. We needed to advertise and market the firm cost-effectively to gain the most return on our investment.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
KitelyTech’s team designed and developed my website to stand out in the market. Their team invested time in ideating on the design. We went through the designs and graphics that would be the most appealing as well as how to write different narratives about my services. They then created mockups that I reviewed to ensure the website reflected my firm. Their team also created business cards and designed a logo to build my brand.
They worked on building my SEO campaigns to make sure that my name appeared when people searched for certain legal services in Chicago. Their team also showed me how to use different tools to be self-sufficient.
What is the team composition?
I worked with more than one person as KitelyTech truly took a team approach to the project. At one point I spoke with their CEO, so everyone was involved in helping me succeed.
How did you come to work with KitelyTech?
I decided to work with them based on their industry reputation. As soon as I talked with one of their team members, their zest and passion became evident. I saw the excellence that their team brought to the table.
I receive e-mail blasts from companies with different action items. KitelyTech doesn’t do that because business comes to them. That made me respect them even more.
How much have you invested with them?
They were appropriately priced, if not underpriced for the value their team delivered.
What is the status of this engagement?
Our partnership began when I opened my firm in August 2017, and it’s ongoing. When I need it, KitelyTech provides help. I’m not shy about reaching out to them when I have a question. To this day, they continue to make sure that I have what I need to be successful.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The website’s professional, eye-catching, and informative. Users not only comment on the website but also enjoy and share my articles. Many clients report finding my firm via the website. Headhunters also called to ask if I wanted to join their firm and bring my client book. The amount of feedback and resources I receive from all angles has been incredible. Across the board, everyone’s talking about my firm. KitelyTech's work has been lucrative for me.
How did KitelyTech perform from a project management standpoint?
We used project management platforms and communicated through phone and e-mail. Their team was receptive to my preferences and made sure to communicate accordingly. They were respectful of my time and made the process user friendly.
We set dates, and KitelyTech kept moving forward. If I slowed the process down, they politely reminded me of our goals. When we reached certain benchmarks, their team made sure that I was happy with their work.
I gave them free rein, and they were good about coming back to me for direction. We also had touchpoints along the way, and their team asked for my input.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Between their availability, reputation, and track record, I couldn’t have asked for a better partner. They’re a class-act organization. I can’t say enough about their team. They’re knowledgeable and professional. Whenever I talked with one of their team members, they always knew all of the project details. I appreciated the entire team's involvement.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Honestly, I don’t think so. Their team could’ve tried to make more money on the project but didn’t. That’s one of their value-adds; they’re effective.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be absolutely open and honest with them about what you want to accomplish. They’ll tell you what’s possible and find a way to help you meet your goals. They thrive on open communication, which facilitates their ability to go above and beyond your expectations.

KitelyTech worked from some existing mockups and created new ones to develop an MVP mobile app. The iOS prototype they built is for an upcoming networking app, and they may also build an Android version.
KitelyTech’s MVP design has received positive feedback. The team’s project management was smooth, and they were very supportive throughout the process. They’ve been willing to address any issues that have arisen, and their ability to provide support into the deployment stage sets them apart.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
My friend and I are pursuing an idea that we worked on through an accelerator program at the university we attended. We’re trying to help people with a few elements of networking, which involves ensuring that connections that people make in the real world make it to the digital world.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with KitelyTech?
Our team is good at iteration and conducting research, so we were able to learn some prototyping tools to create mockups. However, when it came to the actual development, we wanted to work with a team of professionals to get our idea off the ground.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
KitelyTech developed an MVP mobile app for iOS. We had mockups of all of the frames that we wanted, but we gave the team flexibility when it came to certain elements such as the color scheme.
There were a few screens that we didn’t anticipate needing to mockup, so they created those for us. The app hasn’t launched yet, but they are working under the impression that we will launch the app in the App Store. If we get good feedback on it, we might build out an Android version.
What is the team composition?
We work primarily with Katie (Account Director). We’ve also worked with a UX designer and, during the vetting process, their account executive team.
How did you come to work with KitelyTech?
A friend of mine, who is not a technical person, had worked with KitelyTech.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working with them in November 2019. Our engagement is in a fluid state, so if we get good feedback, we will reengage them to build out the product.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
My family thinks the design looks good.
How did KitelyTech perform from a project management standpoint?
Katie was very helpful, and she guided us through the process. Their UX designer was also great. Overall, project management was very smooth.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We’ve heard that KitelyTech helps you through the entire deployment project, which is very helpful for a business-minded team. They put the product out there in adherence to AWS best practices, which is great.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There was one challenge during our process, which was that the app was going to be configured in a way that we thought was a bit risky from a legal standpoint based on conversations with our mentors.
I was surprised that KitelyTech hadn’t done that vetting on their end, but, ultimately, when we brought our concern to them, they made the change at no extra charge.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
KitelyTech is a good company to work with, but don’t just throw the project at them and come back months later; keep working with them throughout the process.

client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the director of sales for a full-service security contractor. We design, install, and maintain enterprise security networks. We also perform integrations that allow for communication between multiple systems.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with KitelyTech?
We’re an older, small shop. Our virtual presentation wasn't up to date including our website and social media profiles. We started an initiative to update ourselves.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
KitelyTech built a new website. Per our direction, their team kept the content from our original site but also created new content. They produced better visuals for the site. Their team created content to helps us be more present on social media. They focus on organic social media campaigns too.
What is the team composition?
We work with 3–4 people from KitelyTech.
How did you come to work with KitelyTech?
I went on Google and looked at companies' reviews. I wrote down 10 names and called each one. We had a round of interviews with five different agencies. That’s how we decided on KitelyTech. Their team was in tune with our goals, so we felt comfortable with them. They took control of the process and guided us, which helped.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent $27,000 on their services so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in February 2019 and it’s an ongoing project. There have been interruptions, but they’ve been helpful and patient throughout the entire process.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We started to attract unique visitors to our website organically. We have a newfound confidence in sharing our website. As a result of this confidence, we put a social media plan in place. We’re able to share and explore new areas that we wouldn't have prior to our engagement with KitelyTech.
How did KitelyTech perform from a project management standpoint?
Their team’s great and coaches us through the projects. Most of the hiccups are on our end. They’ve been patient and professional the whole time.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their experience stands out to us. We pay a little more for quality, but we have the peace of mind knowing that the cost isn’t jacked up. We pay for what we get.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I don’t know what else they could do.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Know what you want ahead of time. Part of the problem was that we didn’t know enough. At first, KitelyTech had a hard time trying to understand where we wanted to go. As long as there’s a plan in place, they can take it from there.
