BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of partnership and business development at Honeycomb Software, a global software consulting company. We’re originally from Ukraine but currently have offices in Ukraine, Poland, and the US. I’m based in Houston, Texas. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with tsukat?

The tsukat team has helped us with many things, but we’re mainly working on an AR/VR solution. Specifically, their task is to create a WebGL tool to help us better manage client-side camera installation. 

For context, we want to decrease the time and number of physical location visits, and the idea is to allow our users to simulate their environment as close as possible to camera views. Our team does a lot of custom software tasks, but we don’t have much expertise in this area. As a result, we’ve decided to look elsewhere and start a partnership with tsukat. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve worked with a third-party client for this project. Our team has provided the necessary documentation to get started. We’ve also divided the project into several milestones and created a proof of concept. So far, tsukat has been helping us with several tasks.

Our goal is to simplify the selection and configuration of things related to the energy industry. For instance, the solution can be used by someone who needs to replace a part in oil and gas operations somewhere. Simply put, it’s a digital twin platform that can help expand the services of our end client, and tsukat has taken over and done the entire project. 

What is the team composition?

We work with more than five people, including a project manager, a WebGL developer, a 3D artist, a QA engineer, and a UI/UX designer. Taras (Creative Director & Founder) coordinates the entire team. 

How did you come to work with tsukat?

We found them online, and another person from our team said they’d heard of the team. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested over $50,000 in tsukat’s services.

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in March 2023, and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The quality of tsukat’s work has been great. Our end client is super happy about the product, which looks like a high-end video game. 

How did tsukat perform from a project management standpoint?

Their services are cost-effective, and they deliver on time; tsukat hasn’t missed any deadlines yet. I also like their design-first approach, where they complete the designs first, and then the rest of the team executes based on those designs. 

Moreover, they’re transparent and keep everybody informed about the project’s progress. We communicate through Slack, email, and Teams to address any concerns. Overall, they have a remarkable project management style and deliver on their promises. They’ve exceeded our expectations, and we’re planning to keep on using them. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their resources have a great ability to plan and break the project up into executable milestones. That’s useful since we often have to figure out where to start when there’s a big project. 

Compared to other companies, tsukat has been able to describe what they can achieve more effectively and deliver exactly that. With other companies, there’s not a lot of clarity on what we’re going to get. In terms of skills, their WebGL output quality is also amazing. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any. They’ve done an excellent job. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Don’t be afraid to dive into the project with tsukat. Even if it’s a complex idea, they can bring it to life successfully. They ask good questions to ensure the idea comes to life and works.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We interviewed a few potential vendors and felt that TSUKAT brought great experience for the cost of services. They were extremely communicative throughout the process.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We collaborated with them by working to define a list of requirements for the application, including what was needed now and potential future scope. They then worked to produce wireframes, develop a proof of concept and iterate from that.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

There were three members on their team, a project manager who we primarily interacted with, and a designer and developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

We were able to compete the project and launch on SideQuest, Itch and Meta Store.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We used Slack for direct communications with developers combined with weekly releases and team review calls to provide feedback.

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

Amazing quality of developers and management responsiveness. Tsukat is very easy to work with. They deliver high quality results while being very flexible in case something is changing.

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

Project requirements definition is fairly informal. It may be challenging to clearly define the scope of the project upfront, if you are looking for the fixed price project. This wasn't a big project for us since we were running our project on T&M basis.
