CodeIT identified a qualified developer with strong technical expertise. They executed clean, high-quality work with no significant bugs. They were a trustworthy, proactive partner who communicated openly via Slack. Additionally, they used Trello to keep track of tasks.
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’m a director of a software company. We develop an application for marketing and sales teams. Our tool allows marketing teams to publish comments for salespeople to access during the sales process.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with CodeIT?
We engaged CodeIT to help us develop our web application. Although we’re a software company, we needed them to support our migrations.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
CodeIT supplied us with one development resource to build our web application. I interviewed various resources before moving forward with the developer we chose. The CodeIT developer built the frontend of our web app using React.js, Node.js, CSS, and HTML. We also collaborated on testing features.
What is the team composition?
We worked with a commercial representative, who was our main point of contact, and a developer.
How did you come to work with CodeIT?
CodeIT initially contacted me on LinkedIn. Their professionalism and directness stood out to me, but we didn’t have the budget to partner with them. We kept in touch with them, and they visited our offices, so we reached out when we needed additional support for the web application project.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent €4,000–€5,000 (approximately $4,300–$5,400 USD) per month.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from January–August 2022.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
CodeIT provided us with a technically skilled developer with a solid understanding of our technology stack. They executed clean, pixel-perfect work, and we didn’t experience any major bugs. Furthermore, they fixed minor bugs quickly.
How did CodeIT perform from a project management standpoint?
The CodeIT team was nice and took a proactive approach to the project. They asked questions, worked hard to meet deadlines, and implemented our feedback promptly. Additionally, they communicated regularly and effectively in English. We used a Trello board to manage tasks and share details regarding requirements. We also communicated via Slack.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I was most impressed by their communication skills and honesty. The CodeIT team was trustworthy, enabling us to build a strong working relationship. I also appreciated their company culture because it felt like they were genuinely invested in our success rather than in making money.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They could improve by having more talent on hand so they could supply resources more quickly.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I suggest reaching out to CodeIT if you need resources with both strong development and communication skills. They will provide robust profiles and identify the right resources for your needs.

CodeIT was hired to develop a mobile app for a waste scheduling platform. The client had expected the app to work on iOS and Android to help their city administration office to make schedules in the background.
CodeIT had finished the app within a few months and had already received 500 downloads. Over five cities have also been using the app for their waste collection. The vendor was also praised for their cost-effective and easy project management skills.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am a Software Engineer at a small company in Switzerland.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire CodeIT, and what were your goals?
We wanted to develop a Mobile Application to inform the population of cities in Switzerland about the dates and times of the next waste collections. The city's administration office should be able to schedule the waste collections in a backend web application and the population should than get push notifications when the next collection comes closer.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
CodeIT has a good reputation and a partner of my company already had contact with the management.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We had an idea in mind and CodeIT was able to build it. The employees at CodeIT understood very fast what we want. The App should work on Android and iOS smartphones. The App should also support push notifications on both platforms.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
A Project Manager was the relay to our side and she did a very good job. Behind her she had a team of developers and operators that worked on the project.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The app was built within a few months time. We were more than happy with the look and feel of the app. More than 500 people downloaded the app so far and we have 5 cities that use the app for their waste collection service.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
The project manager was very easy to communicate with through Skype. She was reachable almost all the time and came up with a solution.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They have their specialists in every area. The developers did a great job ceating the app and the backend web application. The operators helped me to lower the costs of the cloud server hosting by suggesting another provider. The communication with the project manager was very lean and easy.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Because we are a rather small project especially for the next releases and bug fixes of the app, it took some time until the ressources could be allocated to our project. The billing process could be a bit more timely. There where still unreported hours from 2019 in 2021. At least at the end of the year I would expect them to write an invoice no matther how high the amount.

CodeIT used a Zend Framework to create a new online shop. They also developed an algorithm that would automatically change prices. They then migrated the platform to more advanced technology.
The algorithm works well and the site design is great, resulting in a lot of positive feedback from users. CodeIT was flexible and formulated several cost-effective solutions that still met project requirements. They were supportive partners, that adjusted communication to meet client preferences.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
Dinku is a tech-driven e-commerce company. We’re a B2C business, and we use an algorithm that makes prices change as part of our model. I’m the founder and CEO of the company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with CodeIT?
We provide a new way to online shop. We needed a partner that could develop the kind of algorithm we wanted to create for the site.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
I gave the CodeIT’s business developer and project manager a layout of what I wanted to do. They used that to form the basis of an SRS. They broke down everything I wanted to achieve into modules, and I went through each one, making comments and approving the items.
I don’t remember what technologies they used to develop the site. I believe we started with the Zend Framework, but they identified a more advanced technology and migrated to it.
What is the team composition?
There were 4–5 people involved. Daria (Business Development Executive, CodeIT) was the consistent point of contact throughout the life of the project. Even when she wasn’t the direct project manager, she played the role of relationship manager.
How did you come to work with CodeIT?
It was a referral from a personal friend. It was important for us to find someone who understood what we were trying to do and would be able to give us insights into the development of the site beyond what we asked for. It’s one thing to ask someone for A, B, C, and D, but we also wanted our partner to consider E, F, and G. That was the level of expertise we wanted, and that’s what drew us to CodeIT.
How much have you invested with them?
The total was around $30,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
The project lasted from 2014–2019. We discontinued the service because of fiscal policies in Nigeria and because our needs decreased. It made more sense to get local support instead.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The initial feedback was that the site looked pretty good. The presentation, images, and outline structure were crisp and clear. The algorithm and site design were also well-received. We received many compliments from new users. It’s been a positive experience, and I have no negative feedback in terms of design or functionality.
How did CodeIT perform from a project management standpoint?
We communicated via email because I’d rather write, read, and have the messages stored, than talk over phone calls. This way, we could refer to project guidelines and confirm what was agreed upon. Although, we also used Skype.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They were quite flexible in working around some of the issues we had, whether those were technical or commercial. There were instances where we weren’t sure they could do what I was asking for within our budget. Rather than just telling me that it didn’t fall within the scope of their competence, they made suggestions that addressed the concern. They made suggestions that made the cost manageable. They had a human touch to providing the service.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No. I’m a huge fan of CodeIT. If they worked for me for free, it would be nice, but there’s nothing other than that. I have absolute admiration for their team.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
One of the standout pieces of advice I’d give is for the client to have a clear idea of what they want to do. That will allow them to have a clear map of the overall product. That way, they don’t have to go back and give new instructions, causing the project to cost more than it ordinarily would have. CodeIT will try to meet the client’s request as they make it, so not having a clear idea of what needs to be done will lead to gray areas. By the time they go back, they may need to rework some of the things that were requested, and all of that will increase the cost.

CodeIT provides ongoing AngularJS and Node.js development work and QA for an insurance product concierge platform. They work alongside the client’s internal team, which manages the project.
Despite some communication issues leading to delays and missed deadlines, CodeIT delivers quality work that requires some occasional rework. Their team otherwise meshes well with the client’s internal team, leading the client to recommend CodeIT to colleagues multiple times.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CTO of a concierge service for insurance products.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with CodeIT?
We needed help with developing the web- and cloud-based platform.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Around 95% of our development was done by CodeIT. They use AngularJS to built the frontend and Node.js to build some of the backend. They also have provided QA. We work together daily. Our internal team handles the designs that CodeIT then implements.
What is the team composition?
We have three frontend developers, one backend developer, and a part-time QA person.
How did you come to work with CodeIT?
A company that had worked with them for many years recommended their team to us. I talked with them to get some information about their pricing and workflow. We didn’t have much time to do thorough research and look at other vendors, so we went with CodeIT based on that initial recommendation.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in September 2018, and the partnership is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
CodeIT is delivering work on a regular basis. However, we’ve seen a lot of churn when it comes to bugs, and we’ve had to rewrite their code as a result. As long as we have no issues, their work remains satisfactory.
How did CodeIT perform from a project management standpoint?
I manage their team and give them direction. Our communication is through Slack; we use it to answer questions, clarify tasks, and address blockers using different channels. We use GitHub for management and Jira to document items and assign tasks. Confluence is our design tool.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I haven’t tried other providers, so I can’t compare them. However, they consistently produce work on a daily basis and operate as an extension of our team.
Are there any areas they could improve?
We’ve had to work with them on communication. CodeIT doesn’t always tell us whenever they run into issues or hit stumbling blocks. We’re behind schedule, and I’ve haven’t received reasons why from CodeIT along the way. As a result, they’ve missed some of our expectations. We’ve been working with their team over the past year or so to improve their communication.
Any advice for potential customers?
Be active in managing their day-to-day operations, and you’ll see good results.

"Not even a year into the project, CodeIT asked to increase the rates of some team members. We ultimately stood our ground and came to an agreement."
