Leobit

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CEO and co-founder of an SaaS company. We work with technology in the revenue control and customer experience side of the parking industry. We manage credit card processing and tracking of vehicles as well as the rates for valet parking and other surface slots where you pay for parking.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Leobit?

We were looking for a company to help us develop an app that would use iBeacon and Bluetooth to allow people to enter and exit a parking facility.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

They've built the front- and backend of a mobile application that enables people to use a parking facility without having to lower their window or touching a machine. The complexity of the project was in getting the Bluetooth pick up the right lane (Bluetooth is omnidirectional and the device can pick up the wrong lane and open the gate). Leobit handled everything, from the wireframes to design and development.

What is the team composition?

I work with one member of their team full-time and a couple of people part-time, depending on our graphics needs.

How did you come to work with Leobit?

We found them on Upwork and I got in touch with their CEO.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent between $50,000–$100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in April 2015 and the relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We do user groups, so we take the app to the users and get feedback from them. All the feedback has been very positive so far. They quality of the code has been great and they address any bugs or issues very quickly. We've been happy with everything.

How did Leobit perform from a project management standpoint?

They do a great job and meet our deadlines. They're based in Ukraine, so we usually communicate via email, Skype, and phone. In addition, we got them on our Jira, so they joined our development team.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We interviewed about 20 different companies who claimed to be able to do this job, but Leobit was the only company that actually delivered what we needed.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Ideally, they'd be in the same time zone. But we've been very pleased with everything.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Have well-defined requirements of what you want to build and document everything.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the technical director of a branding company. We do brand strategy and new company branding, but we also develop web applications related to marketing and sales.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Leobit?

We had trouble hiring locally and needed to outsource remote engineers.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Leobit has developed a sales-based application with an Angular.js frontend and a .NET backend. The multiplatform app works offline and is hosted on Microsoft Azure. We had most of the code in place before the engagement. They’ve supplemented our internal development resources and I serve as the architect of the product. With programming completed, Leobit is now QA testing.

What is the team composition?

The team includes three developers, two QA testers, and a project manager.

How did you come to work with Leobit?

I found Leobit on UpWork when I hired them and another vendor for a separate project. I reached out to their director. The team was easy to communicate with and tested well.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent more than $100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June 2017 and the partnership is ongoing. We may scale the team if this project is successful.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They have quality QA testing in place. Outsourcing isn’t always easy. Local engineers would be preferable because we would share the same language and location. However, Leobit is more affordable than domestic vendors.

How did Leobit perform from a project management standpoint?

We use timesheets, Google Docs, and Jira to track progress and share documentation. But I am concerned we don’t have a tool to measure metrics and efficiency in particular. Designers create and share mock-ups via Zeplin and InVision.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re well-organized, almost too organized for us at times. The team adheres to processes and answers all of our questions.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Leobit follows directions, but should devote more time for reflecting on our specifications. We want them to understand the guidelines correctly.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Customers will need to keep pace with Leobit’s efficiency. They often have to wait for us to provide needed information.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CTO and managing member of Real Time Research, an IT company. We provide advanced data management, analytics, and software solutions for biological research. We offer database systems, mobile data collection apps, and expert analysis to support efficient research and monitoring for organizations.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Leobit?

We needed help with our backlog of work.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Leobit has integrated with our team to assist in a variety of development tasks, primarily mobile application development. 

What is the team composition?

We work with one teammate from Leobit.

How did you come to work with Leobit?

We found Leobit through an online search. We chose them over other options because they had high ratings, good value for cost, and the technical skills we required.

How much have you invested with them?

The investment is confidential.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Leobit in November 2025, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Leobit has been a valuable partner in assisting in our development process and helped us catch up on a backlog of work. They have provided creative approaches to problem solving and have contributed to our general IT infrastructure allowing us to be more efficient and produce better products. 

How did Leobit perform from a project management standpoint?

Leobit is reliable, attentive and consistently checks in. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Leobit has found a good match of a skilled developer who is efficient, quick to learn, and easy to work with all at a reasonable price.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There's nothing Leobit could improve on.
