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

Lumitech was brought on as GoFetch’s development partner to take the platform from concept through design, development, launch, and ongoing iteration. The scope included building the mobile application and supporting backend infrastructure, developing our core social and community features, creating the administrative tools needed to manage the platform, and preparing the product for release on the App Store. Key deliverables have included user onboarding and profiles, matching and connection features for dating and friendship, messaging, event discovery and RSVPs, dog-friendly place discovery, pet profiles and health information, notifications, location-based functionality, content moderation and safety features, and an internal admin platform. Their work has also included UI/UX design and redesign, backend and API development, QA and testing, bug resolution, performance improvements, and ongoing feature development. Since launch, Lumitech has continued to work closely with us as an ongoing technical partner, using user feedback and product data to refine the experience, introduce new functionality, and ensure the platform can continue to scale as GoFetch grows.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Lumitech successfully took GoFetch from an early-stage concept to a fully developed and launched consumer mobile application. Since launch, the platform has attracted thousands of users, providing meaningful validation of both the product and the technical foundation they built. The team has successfully delivered multiple major product releases, expanded the platform’s functionality well beyond the initial MVP, and established the infrastructure necessary for us to continue introducing new features and entering new markets. They have also consistently incorporated real-world user feedback into product improvements, resolved technical issues quickly, and supported ongoing optimization following launch. One of the most meaningful outcomes has been our ability to move quickly as a startup. Lumitech has given us the technical flexibility to test ideas, learn from our community, and continuously evolve the product rather than being limited by the original build.

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

Lumitech’s project management has been one of the strongest aspects of our partnership. They are highly communicative, organized, and responsive, and I always have a clear understanding of what the team is working on, what is coming next, and where things stand. As a startup, our priorities can evolve quickly based on user feedback and business needs, and they have been incredibly adaptable when we’ve needed to shift direction, reprioritize features, or address something urgently. They take feedback seriously, ask thoughtful questions, and are proactive about finding solutions rather than simply executing a list of requirements. They have consistently worked hard to meet our timelines and, equally importantly, have been transparent whenever a timeline or technical consideration needed to be adjusted. I genuinely feel that they operate as an extension of our internal team rather than an outside development agency, which has been incredibly valuable to me as a founder.

What was your primary form of communication with Lumitech?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What has impressed me most about Lumitech is how genuinely invested they are in the product and the company behind it. They don’t approach the relationship as simply executing what I ask them to build—they think critically about the product, challenge ideas when appropriate, offer solutions, and care about creating the best possible experience for our users. As a founder, that level of ownership is incredibly valuable. They have taken the time to understand my vision for GoFetch and have remained patient, flexible, and highly responsive as that vision has evolved. I never feel as though I’m working with an external agency; they truly feel like an extension of my own team. Their combination of technical expertise, thoughtful communication, adaptability, and genuine care for the success of the product is what sets them apart for me.

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

There honestly isn’t anything significant I would have wanted Lumitech to do differently. Building an early-stage product is inherently iterative, and there have naturally been moments where priorities changed, timelines shifted, or we learned that something needed to be approached differently once it was in users’ hands. What has mattered most to me is how Lumitech has handled those moments—they are receptive to feedback, transparent in their communication, and quick to adapt. If anything, our experience has reinforced the importance of maintaining the very close and collaborative working relationship we’ve developed. They have consistently been willing to evolve alongside us, and I’ve been extremely happy with the partnership.

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

We needed a public site combined with a gated client area, where different client organisations see different content depending on what they're licensed for. 

Lumitech was engaged on a fixed-price contract structured across three milestones, worked against a written acceptance-criteria document we authored up front - 17 numbered criteria covering authentication, entitlements, the admin panel, data protection and session handling. 

Key deliverables: 

1. Public site - marketing and product pages, plus a contact form protected with Cloudflare Turnstile. 
2. Authentication - login built on Better Auth, with rate-limiting on failed attempts and configured session lifetimes and expiry behaviour. 
3. Per-company entitlements - each client organisation is granted access only to the regional content it is licensed for, enforced server-side so restricted content is never sent to the browser rather than merely hidden in the interface. 
4. Admin panel - restructured against eight further acceptance criteria covering navigation, a database-backed role model, audit logging of administrative actions, organisation and user management, an invite flow for onboarding new users, and password controls. 
5. Infrastructure - Cloudflare DNS, WWW-to-apex redirect rules, and deployment. 

Every criterion was verified in a live browser session before sign-off, including negative tests: confirming a user authenticated to one organisation could not reach another organisation's content by direct URL, and that repeated failed logins were throttled.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

All 17 acceptance criteria passed, verified in live browser testing rather than on the developer's word. Negative tests confirmed tenant isolation held; a user authenticated to one organisation could not reach another's content by direct URL, and that login rate-limiting triggered as specified. Financial figures, which previously shipped to any visitor's browser before login, no longer appear in the HTML or JS bundle for unauthenticated requests. All three milestones delivered and released.

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

Vitalii worked directly with us over Slack/Discord throughout, which kept the loop tight;  questions came the same day, and he asked them early rather than guessing and building the wrong thing. 

Onboarding was handled properly: he raised repo access, Cloudflare roles, email sender configuration and the account creation flow up front instead of discovering them mid-build. He was proactive on things we hadn't asked for. When our spec called for admin-visible passwords so support could help locked-out users, he pushed back and insisted passwords stay hashed, proposing admin-triggered reset instead. 

Milestones were delivered and released without chasing. Feedback was actioned quickly and correctly, and we never had to re-explain the same point twice. 

We have since put them on an ongoing hourly contract for maintenance and support, which is the clearest signal of how the project went.

What was your primary form of communication with Lumitech?

Email or Messaging App

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

They quoted honestly against reality rather than against what we wanted to hear. Their first estimate came in low, and after actually reading our codebase they revised it upward and explained why. 

Most agencies bid to win and rediscover the scope later as change requests. When we then pushed back on cost, they held the scope and applied a discount rather than quietly removing the security testing; which is the opposite of how that conversation normally goes. 

The same instinct showed up in the build. They argued against the auth stack we had specified and gave reasons, and they refused a requirement of ours that would have weakened password security, proposing a safer alternative instead. We were paying them to do what we asked; they treated us as if we were paying them to get it right.

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

The initial quote came in around a quarter of what the work actually cost once they had read the codebase, so the first serious number arrived later in the process than it should have. A shorter paid scoping step before quoting would have got us to a realistic figure faster. 

The other point is minor: early contact moved between a couple of people and included an automated reply assistant, so it took a few exchanges to establish who we would actually be working with. Once that was Vitalii directly, communication was excellent throughout.

Built and shipped a working two sided platform.

Currently in the process of working alongside universities and colleges for there students to become users and begin climbing the career mountain.

Delivered a bespoke scoring card for each user who are on our summit plan.

Overall a working app that is gaining more atttraction as the days go by. 

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

Climber Mountain has been a ongoing process but once i started working with Lumitech the level of professionalism and regular updates thoughout each hour and day really got the app where it needed to be. 

We set a time frame on phase 2 being finished but due to the level of detail from lumitech and the ideas from myself it has been a longer process for the bettter of our users. 

What was your primary form of communication with Lumitech?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

Lumitech found a way to keep things realistic but also made my requests happen! 

That impressed me the most. The communication when building anything is key and with 30 minutes being the longest i had wait for a response even on weekends, i found Lumitech super professional and gave me a feeling that they will go above and beyond. 

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

I would only say being more creative themselves with what they might think and have more of a say on what they would recommend, espcially when working as a solo founder it's nice to get ideas from the team you are working with.

I was looking for a web design agency that can really instil what our company is in the design & attract/reach our industry partners. Our current website is out dated and doesn't deliver what we can really provide to our partners. They're still developing the site, but they've made sure I was apart of the entire process and they understood my vision perfectly.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

I recieved constant communication weekly and sometimes even daily. It really gave me a lot of trust knowing that there was progress and wasn't sitting. We usually have a weekly video call meeting going over everything and I haven't recieved this kind of care with any previous dev company so it was awesome.

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

Yes. They told me exactly how long each process would take and the breakdown of everything.

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

I find the communication and care exceed my expectations. I know every single step they're working on and don't have to really worry about anything. If I need any revision to the site, they understand it fully and work on it and show me previews for approvals.

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

I don't think there's much they can improve on, communcation is more than exceeding, the work is perfect. I first initially saw their portfolio and was stunned which is why I went with them. I also didn't have a full vision but they helped me make it come alive. Maybe they could provide some examples of what kind of site for customers like me that don't know exactly how their vision looks. But overall this company is great.

We needed help to continue building our mobile app and desktop admin interface.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Lumitech has completely rearchitected our mobile app from the ground up, ensuring faster load times, improved code quality, and scalability. The team has also helped rearchitect our backend platform to ensure better communication between the mobile app and backend.

What is the team composition?

We've worked with 2–5 teammates from Lumitech.

How did you come to work with Lumitech?

We found them on Upwork. We chose them over other options because they had high ratings, their pricing fit our budget, and they performed well in the interview.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in February 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Thanks to Lumitech's work, our mobile app is much faster and easier to use. We've also looked at the code quality, and it's much better than the prior version. For example, we used to have problems with screens loading, which sometimes took seconds based on the architecture and a mobile-heavy logic. Now, screens load in less than 100 milliseconds on average.Moreover, our compliance rate, which indicates how participants stay engaged on the platform, has grown to more than 80%. It was lower than 50% before, so these are major improvements for our business.

How did Lumitech perform from a project management standpoint?

Generally speaking, Lumitech works hard to meet their timelines. We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Lumitech cares about code quality and best practices.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I wish they had chosen to understand the original codebase a bit better before starting the new codebase, as we missed some key features. Part of the problem was that the old codebase was quite poorly written and hard to understand.

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

We initially engaged Lumitech to provide mobile development resources, and they quickly proved to be a valuable partner. Their team has been highly engaged throughout our collaboration, demonstrating both technical expertise and a genuine commitment to understanding our business needs.

We're currently building a gift card application together, where Lumitech is leading the product discovery and mobile development. Their proactive approach to product discovery has been particularly impressive – they've brought strong insights and recommendations that have shaped the direction of the application.

What stands out most is how collaborative and responsive the Lumitech team has been. Communication is seamless, and they've consistently delivered quality work on schedule. We view them as true partners rather than just a vendor, and we look forward to continuing this successful relationship.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

• Successful resource scaling: Lumitech quickly ramped up our mobile development capacity, enabling us to accelerate our gift card application timeline
• Product discovery completion: Completed comprehensive product discovery phase on schedule, resulting in a validated product roadmap and technical architecture
• Development milestones: Delivered [initial MVP/beta version/key features - choose what applies] of the gift card application within the agreed timeline
• Quality delivery: Maintained high code quality standards with minimal defects, ensuring a solid foundation for the application
• Consistent velocity: Established predictable sprint cadence and delivery rhythm, allowing us to plan confidently around their contributions
• Seamless integration: Lumitech's team integrated smoothly with our existing processes and infrastructure, minimizing onboarding time and maximizing productivity

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

Lumitech's project management has been excellent. They consistently deliver items on time and proactively communicate if any adjustments are needed. Their team uses agile methodologies effectively, with regular sprint planning and clear milestone tracking that keeps everyone aligned.

What impressed us most is their responsiveness. They're quick to address questions, flexible when our priorities shift, and take initiative to flag potential issues before they become problems. When we've had urgent needs or timeline pressures, they've been accommodating and solution-oriented.

The team maintains clear communication channels and provides regular status updates without requiring constant oversight. They've struck the right balance between being independent and keeping us informed. Their project managers are organized, professional, and easy to work with.

Overall, working with Lumitech feels collaborative rather than transactional. They adapt to our workflow and respond to feedback constructively, which has made this a smooth and productive partnership.

What was your primary form of communication with Lumitech?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

What sets Lumitech apart is their holistic approach—they don't just execute our specifications, they take ownership of the entire product. Leading both product discovery and development demonstrates a level of engagement that's rare among development partners.

Their team thinks strategically, not just technically. They bring valuable insights and challenge assumptions constructively, which has improved our final product significantly.

We've also been impressed by how seamlessly they integrate with our team. There's no "vendor mentality"—they approach our projects with genuine care and commitment, making this feel like a true partnership from day one.

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

Honestly, we haven't encountered any significant issues. If we had to identify one area, it would be minor: occasionally there's a slight time zone challenge with scheduling meetings, but the team has been flexible in accommodating our schedule.

Overall, Lumitech has met or exceeded our expectations at every stage of this engagement.
