For document sharing, we relied on email. I don't know how they did it, but they always responded to our questions within 15-30 minutes, which was extremely helpful."

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Peiko?

We needed help with blockchain development for one of our clients.

SOLUTION

We’ve worked with around nine teammates from Peiko. Our main point of contact has been the project manager.

How did you come to work with Peiko?

An acquaintance had worked with Peiko at their company, and he gave us a good recommendation about them. Thus far, we’re not disappointed by that recommendation.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $350,000, but the total cost will be around $400,000 at the end of the contract.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together since January 2022. It has been a large project, and we’re now close to its end.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Peiko has done a great job, and everything they’ve developed is currently working well. Overall, I’m very satisfied with them; that’s why I wanted to leave this review.

How did Peiko perform from a project management standpoint?

Everything has gone according to schedule, so I’m very confident that Peiko will deliver by the date we planned to finish. Our project manager’s communication has been amazing. We mostly communicate via Slack, but we sometimes use Telegram for more direct communication.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Peiko’s project management is their most impressive skill. They keep us updated all the time and constantly send information to their team. Of course, their development work is also very good.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive for a cryptocurrency-based startup.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Peiko?

We wanted to grow and expand the functionality of our mobile application, but we needed more team members. We engaged Peiko to help with our complex backend and frontend development needs.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We only had a server when we started working with Peiko. When they joined the project, they performed refactoring work and added functionality to the server. After implementing the necessary software to create a mobile application, they used React to develop the frontend from scratch and PHP and Node.js to develop the backend. Once they developed the app, they also handled QA testing. The mobile application displays the charts and data needed to facilitate cryptocurrency exchanges. 

What is the team composition?

We worked with 5–6 team members from Peiko, including a project manager, a React developer, a Laravel developer, a Node.js developer, and a QA tester. 

How did you come to work with Peiko?

I found Peiko online and reviewed their portfolio. I was impressed with their projects, so I reached out to the manager. After learning more about them, I thought they were a suitable partner for our needs. 

How much have you invested with them?

We invested $40,000–$50,000 in the partnership with Peiko. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Peiko delivered good results. Their developers were technically skilled, and we enjoyed working with them. As with all development projects, we encountered bugs, but the team identified and fixed them quickly.

How did Peiko perform from a project management standpoint?

Communication was easy, especially since we had daily calls to discuss the project and review progress. They were receptive to our ideas and offered effective solutions to complex problems. We used Google Meet, Zoom, and Slack to communicate and Trello to track the project. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were most impressed with their approach to the work; they solved all our problems. Peiko provided us with a team of skilled developers who helped us build a complex solution. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I have nothing Peiko could improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend working with Peiko. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder of Titano, a decentralized finance (DeFi) application. We’re moving on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Binance Coin (BNB) blockchain.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Peiko?

We needed help with website development for our platform.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Peiko has done frontend and backend development to build our website from scratch. We initially provided them with documentation and scheduled calls to explain the project. We shared a GitHub repository with some examples of decks so they’d be inspired for the project. Additionally, we provided the designs for the interface; they were pretty simple because they were a copy of another software. From there, we didn’t have to explain much to them.

We started working on the fork of PancakeSwap, a decentralized exchange based on decentralized technology; this decentralized exchange also has Lunchbox and Farms. Peiko’s team has skills in Figma, so they’ve had to take the code from Figma and put it into Visual Basic. The project's purpose is to let investors trade tokens in a decentralized manner. Users can also provide liquidity for the liquidity pools on decks.

Currently, we’re giving them new tasks. In the future, we’ll work on a chart tool, which is basically an application where users can check different tokens and their prices and value.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with four people: two developers and two project managers.

How did you come to work with Peiko?

We found them on Upwork and selected them based on their reviews and experience.

How much have you invested in them?

We’ve spent $35,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the engagement in August 2022, and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve seen a significant improvement in the design and tools.

How did Peiko perform from a project management standpoint?

They’re good at organizing the work and communicating. We have many calls and meetings with them through Google Meet, and there aren’t any barriers; everything is clear from both sides. Peiko also works in two-week sprints, and they deliver on time. We haven’t had any delays, so we’re very satisfied with them.

Moreover, the budget has been clear from the beginning, which is a great point for them. We’ve had experiences in the past where people send us invoices increasing the budget, saying they forgot to add things to the development scope. However, Peiko is very transparent.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The team is well-structured, organized, and experienced in their area.

Are there any areas they could improve?

In the end, we needed a few more calls to explain better what was missing, but they still delivered on time. Overall, the whole team is satisfied with their work.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be prepared with the proper documents. With any company, it’s best to have everything well organized so you don’t face problems in the future.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the managing director and founder of Synotex, a software consulting company that provides services and products to customers in the EU. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Peiko?

We had a German customer who needed help developing a cryptocurrency dashboard. Since my business primarily focuses on the automotive industry, I decided to hire a service provider with blockchain technology experience. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Peiko has developed a turnkey solution from scratch using blockchain technology. The system was implemented using MySQL, PHP, and React on the frontend. There are also some data analytics services partnered with the platform, but I don’t want to disclose them. 

The solution’s dashboard supports various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. It also supports interactions on various exchanges, including Kraken and Binance. 

The solution is complete, but I plan to expand the engagement to include website development. I want Peiko to develop a corresponding website to link to the dashboard they’ve already developed. 

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with around six teammates, including a development team that consists of front- and backend engineers and designers. I primarily coordinate with the project manager and sales representative. 

How did you come to work with Peiko?

I found Peiko online after searching for blockchain developers online; they had an Upwork profile. Their team had six years of experience and a good portfolio — they executed a lot of big cryptocurrency projects. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested $40,000–$50,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

Our partnership began in April 2022, and it’s ongoing. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Since this project isn’t for public consumption, I measure the project's success through my customer’s feedback. The project makes my customers happy. 

How did Peiko perform from a project management standpoint?

Their team works in scrum to execute the development. I haven’t dived into any of their development planning, but I think they use Jira to manage the project. Their project manager provides me with weekly reports, but I’m relatively detached from the ongoing development. 

We meet on Google Meet and Skype; I communicate regularly with the project manager and sales representative. We also use WhatsApp to convey information. If there is something urgent, the project manager puts together a meeting with the relevant parties, and we have a Google Meet call. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

So far, Peiko has delivered everything to my requests very quickly; their communication is very clear. Everything is smooth sailing. Their team is adaptable and will do what is necessary to make the client happy. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there is nothing for them to improve. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You have to prepare clear descriptions of the project and what you want Peiko to do. Then, work with their team to clarify the project details to ensure everything is implemented the way you want. It’s important to be precise and collaborative when working with Peiko.
