BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO of an ERP company that we’re marketing in Saudi Arabia.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Geniusee?
We’re hired them to develop the ERP system that targets small businesses.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They created a platform and mobile application for a restaurant ERP platform. We had several meetings at the start of the project where I provided some descriptions of what we wanted. They developed the system from scratch, but we had an internal developer check their work on our end.
The backend was developed with .NET Core, and they used a headless architecture. For the API, they used GraphQL. We specifically wanted a native mobile experience, and they agreed to deliver on those requirements.
What is the team composition?
I worked with 6–7 people from their team, including developers, designers, an architect, a QA specialist, and a business developer. I didn’t directly interact with the entire team that was staffed on the project. We had two main points of contact, one of which was Taras (CEO).
How did you come to work with Geniusee?
We found them online through Clutch and other web resources. I searched for several companies in India, Ukraine, and Poland. Their team was located close to me, had strong communication, and outstanding development skills. It was clear they knew what they were doing and could manage a project like ours well. After checking a reference, we heard only good things about them.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent about $150,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in December 2019. The project was postponed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we’re picking development back up now.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They did the project exactly as my requirements specified. As a technology person myself, I check up on their work regularly. They also provide me with reports on the quality of the platform as they move through phases of development. Everything has gone well.
How did Geniusee perform from a project management standpoint?
We communicated using email and Slack. They’re good communicators and manage the project well. When we meet, we’ve used Skype, Google Hangouts, Zoom, and WhatsApp. If we need help with something, they always reply.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The software expertise they have is amazing. They’re developing the best technology out there at the moment.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I think everything is fine. A buyer always wants a cheaper price, but we’re very satisfied with their work.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I’d advise everyone to work with them because they’re a very good team. They were organized and experienced in complex technology development.

Geniusee works remotely as a development staff augmentation resource for a company that builds digital platforms. They managed projects and tasks on their own, collaborating with the internal team bi-weekly.
The team's work holds up well against thorough rounds of testing conducted both internally and externally. Their fresh, top talent encouraged creative ideas and unique approaches to projects that elevated their work. Despite the project's complexity, they're clear in their technical explanations.
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 the CEO and founder of Tagler Harbor. We build digital platforms for different industries.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Geniusee?
We are a competitor to Geniusee, but from time to time we have a shortage of development resources and need subcontractors. They help us with additional resources in those instances.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We gave them some requirements for what we wanted to see in the final product. Then, we started having bi-weekly conversations as they made progress against our development requirements.
If there were corrections or updates we wanted to make to their work, we communicated them during those bi-weekly meetings. They managed the work from their side, working remotely. In this effort, they operated as a turnkey solution for development team augmentation resources.
What is the team composition?
In total, we worked with a team of 5–6 people including the developers, project manager, and a QA specialist.
How did you come to work with Geniusee?
We had a tender and bidding and were considering a few companies from Ukraine, Belarus, the United States, and other places. We interviewed all of them to understand their capabilities and their overall rates, which were all pretty different. We required them to send us some portfolio projects that they had already built.
They stood out with their experience and the work they've completed for their clients already. Selecting the right company was a long process, but we eventually decided to use Geniusee for the project that we had in mind.
How much have you invested in them?
We've spent more than $200,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in 2018 and finished the project in the summer of 2020.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
In the beginning, we said we would definitely need to measure the quality of work performed. We track how the platform is performing by checking for bugs, overall SEO performance, and site speed on both desktop and mobile. We tested everything ourselves as well. Geniusee provided some resources for testing, but we tested the platform ourselves and let other people test it as well. We needed to ensure that everything worked perfectly.
If an issue pops up, we report it back to them, and they try to fix it as soon as possible. Through our extensive testing, we determined that everything worked well that they delivered. The product they built is very complex, with tons of features. We looked at all the DevOps KPIs and UI/UX, testing through having our customers on the platform. We're pleased with their work.
How did Geniusee perform from a project management standpoint?
They've become like family to us. We had frequent calls and we visited their office once as well. Project management went well because we had a dedicated person operating as our point of contact. She was experienced and kind. Some people from my team aren’t skilled in IT, but Geniusee was tolerant in answering their questions and willing to explain concepts several times.
When we had ideas for new features, the project manager would explain whether it was possible, how long it would take, or why it wasn't possible. We had very good contact with them and built a very good relationship with them.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their creativity and ability to find a creative solution stood out. Our platform is very complex, and there wasn’t a straightforward technology or approach to take. They did a very good job defining what kind of technology we needed to use in order to make the project cheaper.
They advised on the kinds of infrastructure we needed to put behind the platform in order to save some money. It always felt like they were on my side, which made the relationship go beyond that of a partnership between a client and supplier. They became a real partner, which was the most important thing for me.
They're very professional and relatively young, so they have a fresh view of technology. Previously, we were working with a company that had more senior people and took a very old-school approach. We can see a big difference between Geniusee and the other company we worked with which is very cool.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I've already shared my feedback with them, but there was a problem with communication at times. It wasn't in issue across our teams, it was an issue with the communication between the Geniusee team.
I sometimes noticed that people on the team didn’t understand what the other people are doing. It didn’t interrupt our work with them, but I'd recommend that they look deeply into their internal communication processes. This isn't a critical issue for people working with their team, but something that might help them to address so they can become even better than they are now.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
If we have clients that want that great expertise and we don’t have the resources to perform, Geniusee will be the first company that I would recommend. Come to them with a clear idea for the project.
While you should have a project plan, they will challenge your thinking in explaining to you what will work and what won't. However, it's critical to have a concept. They will match your motivation for bringing value to customers, feeling the energy, purpose, and unique value proposition.
They will definitely help and won't hesitate to put their opinions on the table. . If they see the idea will not work in the way the client thinks, they will correct them and share their opinion.

client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO of a fintech and EdTech company. We have an on-demand video platform which users can subscribe to access our original video content.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Geniusee?
I was working with another team, and it was fine, but it wasn’t very professional. On top of that, it wouldn’t be able to support thousands of users. We hired Geniusee to improve the quality of our product.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They’re our full-time engineering team. They’ve provided a team comprised of a project manager, a frontend developer, backend developer, QA tester, and designer located in Ukraine. They’ve created a bespoke PHP and React platform. Our CTO decides on features and creates a roadmap, and then they execute it.
What is the team composition?
We’ve worked with six people. Navariy (CTO) is our main point of contact and he works directly with our CTO.
How did you come to work with Geniusee?
I hired a senior CTO and he recommended that we work with Geniusee.
How much have you invested with them?
W spent about £120,000 (approximately $155,000 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together around January 2020 and it’s ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Our platform is up 99% of the time. They’ve also improved the site’s load time for 3.5 seconds to 2.5 seconds. They consistently perform and meet sprint requirements.
How did Geniusee perform from a project management standpoint?
They work well with our CTO and project manager, who oversees the project.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Compared to our previous provider, they’re more professional.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They’re growing quickly, which is fine, but they need to concentrate on the clients they work with already and assure that they’re happy.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
We had a senior tech expert manage the project from the UK, then we utilized Geniusee to execute on certain projects. That helped prevent any communication issues, especially since there was a bit of a language barrier.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the managing director of a skin health startup.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Geniusee?
We created a device that measures UV radiation. We needed someone to develop the mobile application that connects to the device.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We wrote the backend ourselves, as well as the first version of the app. Geniusee is helping us write an app that’s appealing to consumers, easy to use, and captures all the real time data we need. It’s built for both iOS and Android.
The team also took over the design aspect of the project. Their designer created one screen, which we were able to review and decided whether we wanted to move forward. We ended up finding the design very modern and clean, and we liked it a lot, so we decided to pass off the redesign component to Geniusee as well.
What is the team composition?
We have a project manager assigned to us, as well as a developer, designer, and QA tester.
How did you come to work with Geniusee?
I met Taras (CEO) at a trade fair in Munich. At that time, we had another developer working for us, but we weren’t happy with their service. I decided to approach Taras a few months after meeting to have Geniusee step in and continue the project.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent between $15,000–$20,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve been working together since May 2020.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The app hasn’t been launched yet, but we’re pleased with Geniusee’s services so far. We’ve spoken to friends, customers, and investors, and everyone loves the appearance of the app.
How did Geniusee perform from a project management standpoint?
They do very well. We have a weekly phone call, and I always admire how to the point they are. Sometimes, our phone calls only last 10 minutes, but everything is clear by the time they’re over.
We also use Slack to communicate, which works very well. We’re very impressed with their responsiveness, especially on the developer’s side.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Geniusee is very committed. They’re fast, and they have a high quality design and development team. We’re very impressed with the quality of the app.
Are there any areas they could improve?
To be honest, not really.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
The better you know what you want, the better the project will be.

I’m the co-founder and co-CEO for a fintech company building out mobile and web app interface. We’re trying to build an system of consumers and merchants to reward responsible consumption behaviors.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Geniusee?
We built an MVP with contract developers onshore, but now that we’re looking to scale up and improve the platform, we engaged Geniusee to be our tech team.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We’re focused on handing over our technology stack to them. They’re working with React Native for the mobile app and .NET for our backend infrastructure. This is all hosted on Microsoft Azure as well. Initially, they will be fixing some bugs and improving performance.
Then they will embark on taking ownership of our various deployment activities. That includes everything from development to QA, DevOps, and deployment.
Further down the line, we plan to work with them to build a blockchain-related solution. They’re now our outsource tech team.
What is the team composition?
I’ve worked with various levels, including the CEO, COO, and their CTO oversees the development team, which is comprised of a React Native developer and one person from their DevOps team.
How did you come to work with Geniusee?
I worked with them on another project a couple of years ago. I was impressed with what they were capable of doing, but before making a decision, we did go out to market to explore what solutions were available. We found Geniusee to be the most competent and budget-friendly.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent about $20,000, but then we plan to spend about $7,500 per month and that will scale up over time.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in August 2020 and our partnership is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They’ve eliminated bugs in our functioning product and have improved performance speed.

They were exceptional. We have daily stand-ups with the project manager and development team. We get weekly reports that include time cards and work efforts. Then, of course, we have Jira boards to manage sprints and the backlog activity. When it comes to communication, it’s usually me who holds up the process. I’m very grateful for their process and operations.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They were willing and capable of making suggestions to improve the direction of our products and platform. They’re focused on delivery more than time. Their number one priority is delivering a good product.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can’t think of anything at this point.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
In order to maximize the return on the partnership, clients need to be prepared and know what you want to get out of the engagement. I also recommend that clients have an open dialogue because they have the knowledge to provide recommendations and ideas.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the technical lead at an agricultural technology company. We help farmers and other agricultural individuals and companies get their data into the cloud.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Geniusee?
Our original need was for some contract help for some of the development of the app, but it’s expanded into DevOps and QA.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Geniusee helps us acquire remote contract workers, doing so on our behalf. We work with them to establish a list of needs including QA, development, and DevOps resources. They do the first round of interviews and make recommendations, and they serve as aggregators for those contract positions.
The final selection comes down to us, but the team eliminates our HR burden by vouching for certain candidates and making sure that our needs are met usually by longterm individuals. If need be, they also find replacements to fill vacant positions.
They are currently providing one frontend developer, two DevOps resources, a designer, a business analyst, and two QA individuals. The team also helps us manage our resources.
What is the team composition?
We have a requirements manager, and Pavlo (COO) serves as our account manager.
How did you come to work with Geniusee?
My predecessor knew them from other personal projects.
What is the status of this engagement?
I’ve been working with them for a little over a year. We started working together in about mid-August 2018, and we’re still working with them.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The frontend teammate they provided is a React expert who came in and cleaned up a mess that was made. That resource has paved the way going forward and optimized what we already had. Geniusee has made a high-level impact.
How did Geniusee perform from a project management standpoint?
Our requirements manager has been instrumental in getting us onto a sprint cycle and helping us gauge units of work, get estimates, and get insights into how projects move through development and become finished features. On top of that, Pavlo coordinates everything.
He interfaces with me during interviews and checks in on how the various Geniusee employees are doing for us. This adds a personal touch and an element of continuity of having one point of contact who makes sure that everything’s going smoothly. He’s also helped us to be more organized and to set up a design process and a QA team.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their expertise sets them apart. The team knows its way around the standard industry, and they offer great suggestions for use cases. They’re our go-to domain experts in areas where we’re lacking internally.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I have no serious complaints. There is a natural challenge in having a partially remote team and having to work around a timezone offset. Geniusee is quite accommodating. They stay up a little later, not too late, to overlap with our working day.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Trust Pavlo because he knows what he’s doing. Be open about the problems you have and be open to their suggestions. I’ve leaned on them to fill in gaps on our team, and it’s worked out quite well for us.

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 the product manager for a business referral platform.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Geniusee?
We were looking for a new vendor to partner with us in development of web and mobile apps.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Genuisee’s main work was to develop web apps, and mobile apps, both frontend and backend. The mobile apps were mostly built in native Android and iOS, but one was done in React Native.
The frontend development was all done from scratch; the team used some of the APIs we already had for backend development. They also did some QA, project management, and design, as well.
What is the team composition?
There are 6-8 people on retainer, but we have interacted with 15-20 people from their team for different projects.
How did you come to work with Geniusee?
We found them on Clutch. We spoke with a few companies, and found this team to have the best terms to fit our needs.
How much have you invested with them?
The total cost was between $350,000 - $400,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from March – July 2020.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Geniusee was very effective in helping us go from concept to realized production in under two months.
We are closely monitoring users, and we currently have a few thousand. The quality of their work is very high, and we plan to keep them on retainer for the foreseeable future.
How did Geniusee perform from a project management standpoint?
They managed all the deliverables on time. They present optimistic and pessimistic timeframes and costs, usually landing somewhere in the middle. This strategy eliminates surprise, which is valuable. Our communication was always smooth and clear.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Two of the strengths we’ve experienced are their development and project management. Geniusee understood the business context, and they were able to run with it to perform tasks. They were also accommodating to onboard additional resources on short notice to help us meet goals and deadlines.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They need a stronger QA program. I would like to see vigor in this area that matches that shown in their project management.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Bring them in early, as part of the design discussions and business decisions. It helps in managing the team, and functioning with them. Daily standups are also a good idea.

Geniusee provides design and development services for a marketing intelligence company. From scratch, the team built a website, conducted research into autoML tools, and developed a platform to support OCR.
Geniusee successfully delivered a website and executed the research to implement an informative tools section that provides valuable guidance users. The team effectively manages projects to consistently produce deliverables on time and budget. Their responsiveness ensures an ongoing partnership.
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 actually represent two companies that work with Geniusee. I’m the president of a company that assists marketers with machine learning modeling. We also have a sister company, a direct mail intelligence platform for direct mail marketers.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Geniusee?
We wanted access to skilled talent for an immediate need. For one company, we actually wanted to develop an online system for marketers.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Geniusee assisted with the development of one company’s website. They led the UI/UX discovery phase and helped to define the concepts of our intelligence platform. Their team then actually developed the site.
They also managed the R&D work for autoML tools. Their team identified and tested the products. We then had content writers summarize Geniusee's findings, which allowed us to advise on the tools' usability.
As we brought on client engagements, Geniusee worked as an extension of our team. For one engagement, they designed and developed a diversity and inclusion legal platform.
For our other company, their team managed the R&D work for the visual processing of images. Their team developed a web platform and enabled the OCR (optical character recognition) of images going into the platform.
What is the team composition?
Our team ranges from 3–18 team members depending on the project. We’ve had interactions and engagements with most of the team.
How did you come to work with Geniusee?
Our investor, who previously worked with them, referred us to Geniusee.
How much have you invested with them?
To date, we’ve invested about $160,000 in their services.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Geniusee in September 2018, and we’re still working with them.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We actually have a website, so that’s one success metric. Their team was also responsible for all of the R&D work that went behind everything listed on the tools section of our site. They reviewed all of the open-source platforms in the various categories. Their research tangibly presents itself as industry expertise to our clients.
How did Geniusee perform from a project management standpoint?
Geniusee acts as a member of our team. They act on client feedback relatively immediately. We basically ask them for a quote and a timeline, and then they tightly manage those projections. Their team doesn’t disappoint.
When they work on client projects, we always have dates for deliverables. They always meet deadlines. Their team’s extremely responsive, which is what keeps us coming back. They work tirelessly to ensure that we’re on time and on budget.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They evolve our thinking. After we come to them with rough ideas, they ideate and research. By the next meeting, their team has evolved our thinking to show us all of the possibilities. They’re always putting down breadcrumbs and paving a path forward for us.
Are there any areas they could improve?
We continue to work with them as partners because they’re a good fit for us.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Come with a good idea for what you want to accomplish. Give them solid parameters because developers love to develop. It’s helpful to talk in terms of an MVP’s requirements for them to deliver against.

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 CTO for Wolfson Brands. We’re an e-commerce company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Geniusee?
We needed to increase our DevOps resources to move our system infrastructure.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Geniusee expanded our current team. They assigned members of their team to work fulltime to meet our DevOps needs.
After looking at our system, they provided advice on how best to build and migrate to a new one. All of their work was done on AWS. They support the new system and deal with changes.
What is the team composition?
We’ve worked with four different resources from Geniusee. However, that number fluctuates based on our needs. I mostly communicate with their CTO.
How did you come to work with Geniusee?
I found them through a recommendation from a resourcing agency that we previously engaged. Geniusee happened to have available resources. We had a quick interview and then met with their founder and CTO.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent somewhere in the realm of $60,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in February 2020, and they completed the bulk of their work around June. Now, we have a support contract with them.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Their team helped to de-risk the movement from one system architecture to another. We didn’t experience any issues as a result of our collaboration with them.
From a support side, we have SLAs for how quickly they help us recover from incidents or attacks. That happens quickly. Their team achieves 24/7 support, which is great. We’ve seen a marked increase in uptime and availability.
How did Geniusee perform from a project management standpoint?
We haven’t specifically used them for project management. However, their team’s quick to react when we need assistance. If there’s an urgent need, they’re available 24/7. Their team’s on call for us.
We almost exclusively use Slack to communicate. There are occasions when we use email too.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their deep technical understanding sets them apart from their competition. We can turn to members of their management team and access the knowledge necessary to make key decisions. They have experienced team members all throughout management roles. We’re not passed from high-level managers to engineers to understand something.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, I’m satisfied. If there are areas for improvement, it’s mutual.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Keep an open mind to solutions because that allows you to explore alternatives. Don’t bring a solution to Geniusee because they have a lot of experience finding solutions. Understand why you want to solve certain problems too.
