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

Required help with multiple projects due to resourcing issues locally. The guys were responsible for managing development tasks with oversight from local our local team. This was important, the ability to be able to work collaboratively with existing developers. This ensures we have consistent architecture and code patterns. 
At the end of the day, we required a multi-environment cloud platform with dynamic role-based access control, built on React, with an accompanying mobile application. We also required designs and UI/UX, and we needed this to look and feel consistent. Importantly, we needed this to be done collaboratively, frictionlessly, and—if we could help it—with good people. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Completed user stories + bug count. 

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

Their approach to project management is one of the best things about these guys. They're always looking to improve at every touch point. 
Typically (at least in Australia) PM meetings are met with 'this isn't my job', 'its someone elses fault' etc. The guys here approach everything with a 'How can we do this better' attitude, and contribute ideas. They're flexible, turn things around fast, and if I need a change in process they're on it immediately and changes are noticed.

Virtual Meeting

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

It's a holistic approach from these guys that make a difference. Firstly, they want to userstand the outcomes, deliverables, and process. They can work within my requirements - which at times can be a little needy - but they're always adaptable and this goes for everyone on the team. 
When times get tough and I need a little extra from the team they've accommodated to help push things over the line. This is always appreciated and never expected, but if you've ever been in those crunch moments you will understand how good it is to be in the trenches with some teammates. 
The adaptability - I chose them because of their tech skills, but these guys also packed a punch in other areas. BA's / Designers etc. It's so great to be able to pull from their pool of talent to get things done. 
Lastly - the guys are good people. In a world filled with good eggs and bad eggs, these guys are human and are very real to work with. It is genuinely a pleasure to work with them. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Geeks of Kolachi could have done differently?

There's always room for improvement everywhere. But nothing of note that would affect my decision to continue working with them.
