Codemotion

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We provide technology-driven solutions for supply chain finance, enabling businesses to streamline early and on-time payments, optimize cash flow, and strengthen buyer-supplier relationships globally. I manage the engineers who build, deploy and manage the platform to make that possible.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Codemotion?

We needed to migrate a JavaScript frontend using a framework that didn’t align with our preferred frontend completely to one that meets our desired stack and pulls in changes to our branding. This migration eliminated an outlier technology that was a coverage gap for our full-time engineering teams’ JavaScript framework skills.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Codemotion has replaced our existing application’s frontend tier. The team handles project management and testing. Codemotion works closely with our operations and development teams for backend integration and deployment. The team also adheres to documenting using our suite of SDLC tools.

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 teammates from Codemotion.

How did you come to work with Codemotion?

We found them through a referral in our Prague office. We chose them over other options because they’re close to our central European teams. That have a good culture fit and offer good value for the cost.

How much have you invested with them?

Confidential

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in March 2026, and the engagement is ongoing leveraging different resources for different projects.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have regular sprint reviews and gated milestones for sign-offs from our teams. This process allows internal feedback from teams like QA or Automation, who have an opportunity to directly express enhancements or tweaks to the application that normally wouldn’t be addressed.

How did Codemotion perform from a project management standpoint?

Codemotion’s project management is strong. The team is very communicative and delivers on time. We communicate via Slack and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Codemotion is understanding and collaborative when we create blockers. The team often thinks of positive enhancements beyond our stated ask and is willing to provide theoretical estimations for multiple projects in multiple software languages.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Nothing stands out

I left the company but still work with WildAid to be the product manager of the web and mobile apps. I was with the project since the beginning.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Codemotion, and what were your goals?

We hired Codemotion to finish all the critical and high-priority tasks for the open source Android, iOS and Web applications that had begun in 2020.

SOLUTION

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

We tried going with the vendor we had used at the company that started the project, but this project was too small for that vendor. They recommended another company which wasn't a good fit, and eventually I found Codemotion.

• Back-end development using Node.js;
• Database structure design and implementation using MongoDB;

I managed the communication among the three developers - there wasn't a ton of overlap and the functionality was all worked on in parallel.

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

I was impressed with the ability to get good consultants with the needed skills. We did have to wait a few weeks to get all our needs met, but we did find our developers after that point.

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

They were great!

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am an engineering manager for an AI software company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Codemotion?

We needed to hire a frontend developer that had some background in data science because math and statistics are involved in the project we are working on. 

We are a small startup company, and most of our funding comes from science-related grants. We’ve hired other companies in the past from the US that were too expensive, and we needed a cheaper alternative. We wanted to find the best person for the job, and we originally hired someone else, but we weren’t happy with the quality of work they were producing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement? 

The developer from Codemotion works exclusively in a frontend development role. He is working to solve issues with the software and improve stability.  

The tech stack is React, and the frontend is built using TypeScript. 

What is the team composition?

We work with one developer. Codemotion has provided us with a project manager, but we take care of most of the project management on our end. 

How did you come to work with Codemotion?

We use Upwork for hiring, and we’ve previously hired independent consultants. We decided to go with Codemotion because they reassured us that if we didn’t like the developer, we could work with someone else. They have lots of developers, so it seemed like a risk-free option which was very attractive to our company. 

How much have you invested with them?

We have invested around $40,000 so far. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in April 2022, and it is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our goal is for the people that we hire to be independent so that we don’t have to go back and fix mistakes. Our developer from Codemotion is very independent, and we can hand over a list of tasks, and know he will be able to complete them. 

The developer has a Ph.D. and is very meticulous in all of the work. He’s been fixing the mistakes that were made by our previous developer and completely refactored and improved the stability of our system. We were having issues with pages breaking, and he is going in and fixing all of that. 

How did Codemotion perform from a project management standpoint?

The developer works just like a member of our team. He is responsive and always meets deadlines. 

We use Slack to communicate, and videoconference every two weeks. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Codemotion has provided us with exactly the person that we need. They originally gave us a few candidates to pick from, and he had the experience that we were looking for. The Ph.D. is so valuable to us, and the individual that they are providing us with is excellent. 

Codemotion is very professional. They check in with us every month, but they are very respectful of our space which we appreciate. We have hired other people that didn’t provide high-quality service like they do, so we’ve been very impressed so far. 

We know that anyone from Codemotion will have a certain level of competence. When we work with them we know that we don’t have to waste time trying to weed through people who cannot complete a job.

The developer that we work with from Codemotion is incredibly hard-working, and will do whatever needs to be done to meet a deadline.   

For how much it costs, the service is very good. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

We can’t really say anything bad about them.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the president of a developer tool company revolutionizing how software is created and managed. We are building a tool that enables developers to easily navigate their distributed cloud architecture as well as to create a new, production-ready service with push-button ease.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Codemotion, and what were your goals?

We were seeking to hire a back-end engineer facile with technologies used in our stack. This would be a permanent member of our core engineering team.

SOLUTION

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

We reviewed nearly 600 candidates from across the world before settling on an extraordinarily talented engineer through CodeMotion. Our CodeMotion colleague passed an extremely rigorous coding challenge that few others succeeded with in spite of their impressive resumes, and he aced multiple rounds of interviews.

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

We were seeking to add a full-time, permanent member of our team proficient with NodeJS and Typescript. Our colleague spends his days knee deep in Node, working to expand our APIs using TypeScript/JS as well as working on our core platform. Other technologies used include nest.js, a graph database and noSQL back-end, REST APIs and graphql.

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

Just 1, our account manager. She was awesome, quickly understanding our requirements and only socializing a handful of resumes that met our requirements. She made it easy for us to find our ace.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

We could not be more thrilled with the colleague we hired via CodeMotion. His work product, work ethic, and collegiality have made him an invaluable member of our core engineering team. Our team is extremely discerning; their praise must truly be earned, and this colleague earned it with distinction.

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

2 week sprint cycles, daily virtual standup, Slack-based comms as needed, JIRA for specs and backlog management, and weekly 1:1s. We generally operate asynchronously outside of structured recurring meetings.

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

Strong candidate quality, and the firm is easy to work with.

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

Not a thing :)

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO for a company that creates enterprise-level websites and apps for higher education institutions in the US.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Codemotion?

We needed to meet a quick turnaround time for developing first a mobile app and then a web app. Given that, we needed professional UI/UX designs and clean animation, but we didn’t have the in-house talent for such tasks. We also didn’t have the time to hire someone for them. As a result, we engaged Codemotion to help us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve designed the apps, and Codemotion has worked on the frontend. We’ve used React Native for the development of the mobile app and React for the development of the web app. The Codemotion team also uses a combination of JavaScript and TypeScript for the entire project. 

What is the team composition?

We’ve been working with two developers and a business liaisons officer, who is helping us navigate the engagement. 

Originally, we acquired one full-time developer from the Codemotion team. After a while, we realized that the project wasn’t a one-person job, so we acquired another developer.

How did you come to work with Codemotion?

I found Codemotion on UpWork, and a couple of things about them spoke to me: their professionalism and their portfolio. On top of that, they had the ability to listen to our needs; they said that if their work wasn’t up to our expectations, we could contact them and their CTO would review their work. If resources were misused or their outputs weren’t production-ready, they’d help us get back on track. Overall, their business practice was professional, and everything was upfront and well-mapped-out. As a result, we hired them. 

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested between $45,000–$50,000. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in June 2021, and the engagement is ongoing. The second developer came on board in mid-July 2021. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

One success metric we’ve had is the fact that we’ve been able to hire a second developer from Codemotion. Moreover, our timelines have been unrealistic since this project has been extensive. However, Codemotion has managed to deliver the project within such a timeline. Their ability to build the MVP in a span of months is outstanding, considering that their resources are working with us as a new members. On top of that, the time between finding the right developer for the job and bringing them on the project has been well-managed. 

Further, the Codemotion team is user-focused. They can implement great designs to the tee and come up with their own great ideas. Their standout idea is the usage of skeleton loading, which is used by Twitter and other professional web apps. For context, skeleton loading is when websites and apps load cards first before the actual card information shows up.

How did Codemotion perform from a project management standpoint?

The resources have both been fantastic. We’ve had excellent communications, and they have accountability. Moreover, we work with them as partners; we share the workload, so we don’t simply give them tasks. In fact, they can call us and assign tasks to us, too. 

Overall, they’ve been nothing but efficient and fantastic. They communicate deadlines well, and they tell us what they can and cannot do. When problems arise, they alert me ahead of time. To communicate, we use Slack. I have a call with them every weekday morning. We also use Zoom for video communication and Jira for tickets during the agile development process. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

Codemotion’s technical experience is better than anyone I’ve worked with before. More importantly, they run their business incredibly well — they have fantastic internal processes. They meet our needs as a client, and we can easily ask them for more resources if we need to do more work. The team also helps us come up with a better partnership structure when we don’t have the right budget for the work. Overall, I see them as a great long-term partner; I’d recommend them highly to others. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There could have been a playbook for the onboarding process. Since we’d never hired an outsourced developer before, it would’ve been nice to have a little heads up in terms of setting up expectations and communication with resources. 

However, this is a minor point. Doing such preparation is incumbent upon me as the one hiring and onboarding new developers. In any case, their work has been stellar. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Constant communication with Codemotion’s people is as important as constant communication with their developers. Use them to come up with ideas on how to move resources around. Overall, develop a relationship with the company as a whole and not just with their developers. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there?

I’m the operations manager of an IT and services company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Codemotion?

We needed someone to build custom software for us.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Codemotion has developed custom software from scratch in C#. It’s the backend of a web application we’re building for a client.

We initially provided documentation about the product and what it does, as well as technical requirements.

What is the team composition?

We work with one developer and a success manager, who is our main contact.

How did you come to work with Codemotion?

We found them on Upwork. We then interviewed them and felt they were the best choice for the project.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent €50,000–€99,999 (approximately $59,000–$117,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together around November 2020, and it’s an ongoing relationship.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They’ve provided skilled resources to meet the project needs and quickly fixed any issues we’ve brought to their attention. They give good feedback, and we’re happy with the work they provide.

How did Codemotion perform from a project management standpoint?

They do pretty well. We communicate via Slack and have met in person a few times.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We greatly appreciate the excellent communication.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could have more senior-level team members.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Stay on top of the timeline and respond quickly to their messages to get what you need from them.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm co-founder and CEO at SourceMates IT service company. We help to contribute with optimisation of business processes involving web development, mobile applications, CRM, Crypto.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Codemotion, and what were your goals?

We worked with another agency for a couple of years and everything was fine, but then one developer left the project and then another developer left the project. I felt like nobody paid attention to my project because it is not large enough for them. I understand that we are a start-up and it seems like that other company are more focused on large enterprise projects. With Codemotion I see that no matter what size you are - you will be taken care of.

SOLUTION

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

A friend of mine recommended Codemotion to me and after initial conversation, I already knew that they were the right choice to help me out with the project.

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

The main technology they used was React and Node.js. We provided their team with specifications and the design for them to build our app. Codemotion managed the development and coordinated with us on the process, incorporating our feedback into each step. Throughout the entire project, they also made key suggestions which we implemented and successfully use now.

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

A project manager, 2 backend devs and 2 frontend devs.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

As far as I know, Codemotion now has over 100 employees which includes developers, project managers, testers, designers and many more. Although they mainly work with JS, they can offer specialists with even Python or .NET skills. I feel safe that they can always fulfill any of my requests and I really like it.

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

Codemotion mostly uses an Agile methodology with a Scrum framework to manage the project which I really like. Also, every project manager they provide speaks very good in English. This helps establish great communication and ensures that all parties understand their assignments.

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

Codemotion is a real people company and I extremely like their personal approach to every business partner they work with.

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

No, I am happy with how they are.
