Top Challenges
MyProfashional is all about style and getting the maximum out of it. Therefore, our designers faced the hardest challenge during the development of the website for MyProfashional. The website had to be trendy, captivating, and informative, so the customers need just one glance to believe that MyProfashionals know what style and self-expression are. Sometimes, colors and layout of text and elements speak louder than words, so we spent a lot of time trying different color palettes and juggling visuals to achieve the most relevant and convincing combination.
In addition, our developers and testers spent quite a lot of time ensuring that MyProfashional will perform well under different pressure.

Development Resources for Supply Chain Solutions Company
“They’re a great firm to work with, and they have great expertise in the space they’ve chosen.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the chief financial engineer for The Interface Financial Group, a 50-year old company that provides supply chain finance solutions around the world and early payment programs for Fortune 1000 companies. I’m responsible for the API that connects our platforms and data science teams. In this role, I also handle our IT vendor management system.
What challenge were you trying to address with KindGeek?
We hired KindGeek to help us find good talents that could quickly adapt to the technological changes in the fintech industry. On top of that, we wanted to find such skilled people in a cost-effective manner; the cost of acquiring and maintaining such talent should be reasonable.
What was the scope of their involvement?
One of the projects we’ve done with KindGeek resources involves a digital supply chain portal that allows suppliers to see their scheduled payments and paid invoices. The team has worked on connectivity features and API accesses within the portal. Everything has been done using the React Native tech stack, and it’s all cloud-based; we’re using Amazon for hardware infrastructure. Moreover, around 98% of this project is done by KindGeek developers; we simply provide the management and blueprint.
What is the team composition?
We mainly work with Anton (CEO) and Yurii (Junior Software Engineer). Our team then collaborates with a senior frontend developer and QA engineers.
How did you come to work with KindGeek?
We talked to 25–30 companies from different parts of the world. In the end, I listened to my gut instinct when I hired KindGeek. Their approach, flexibility, and the way their organization was structured appealed to us — they were the equivalent of Google when it came to finding the best talents in the region. As a result, we decided to work closely with them.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent between $1 million–$10 million.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in November 2019, and the partnership is ongoing
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We measure success based on our communication levels. KindGeek has the ability to move quickly while working with our technology team, which includes our CTO and VP of product. In other words, they work well with everyone in our team in a timely fashion, and they contribute to the project. Overall, we’ve seen results from their work.
I highly recommend working with KindGeek — not only with the ones who are working with us but also with the whole company itself. They’re a great firm to work with, and they have great expertise in the space they’ve chosen.
How did KindGeek perform from a project management standpoint?
We handle project management. Yet, it’s remarkable how KindGeek brings developers onboard and cultivates them in a culture that’s acceptable to a western company. To clarify, many other companies are body shops: they merely bring someone in, put them on an outsourced project, and then wash their hands. By contrast, KindGeek truly contributes to us. They have a training process where the resources can get accustomed to our work ethics and culture.
In terms of communications and deadlines, they’re great. Our teams have weekly sprints via Jira so that KindGeek understands our requirements. They’re on top of our weekly meetings, and all conversations are open and clean. Everything is well-coordinated between our teams, especially around the vacation time they have internally. Moreover, we have a matrix-based relationship, where our product developer works directly with their developers. Overall, their communication is one of their pillar strengths.
What did you find most impressive about them?
KindGeek’s flexibility and knowledge are the most impressive things about working with them.
Are there any areas they could improve?
We’re always looking for more resources. It’s difficult, but this is a challenge anywhere in the tech sector.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
You need a plan. When you hire KindGeek for your company or team, you have to nurture the relationship. You must communicate, too. The KindGeek team has great communication skills and is open to ideas and feedback, but that should go both ways. You must make it a priority to reach out to their team. In other words, you shouldn’t hire a company and then wash your hands; that’s not the way to achieve results. You must integrate them into your team and professional lifestyle.

Software Dev & DevOps Resources for Credit Card Company
“Our ability to hit our migration deadline is a direct result of KindGeek’s work.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the head of infrastructure and DevOps of a mobile-first credit card company based in London.
What challenge were you trying to address with KindGeek?
We were presented with an opportunity to do a migration of a large portfolio onto our system. To do so, we needed to rapidly increase our resources.
What was the scope of their involvement?
KindGeek provides software development and DevOps resources. We’re mobile-first, so our goal is to develop the services and applications in that realm. There’s a high degree of security required since we also issue physical credit cards and maintain other financial credit cards.
What is the team composition?
At the peak, we worked with 30–35 people from their team. We work with a project manager, scrum masters, a case manager, and tech leads to manage the project.
How did you come to work with KindGeek?
They were recommended to us by a different vendor. Initially, they were brought on to do the frontend. Their ability to ramp up and deliver stood out; they were very quick to hit deliverables and get up to speed. Once we realized what they were capable of, we gave them backend and testing work.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent £2 million (approximately $2.8 million USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in March 2019, and our work is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Our ability to hit our migration deadline is a direct result of KindGeek’s work. The quality of their work is at a high standard. We have 80% test coverage and their deliverables are A or A-plus.
How did KindGeek perform from a project management standpoint?
Our project management team is superb. They’re invaluable and help absorb a lot of knowledge from our architect and disseminate it to the team.
KindGeek makes sure their employees speak English to a very high standard. We keep in touch via email and have standups via Slack. A large portion of their development team is integrated into our team as though they are permanent staff members.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re very open from the start. It’s not like other development houses where you give them a task and you get a deliverable two weeks later. It’s a very hands-on process where you’re able to deal with developers on the team and coach as you go.
Are there any areas they could improve?
The team tends to bite off more than they can chew to a degree. In the earlier parts of the project, we started seeing deadlines getting pushed because the scope had changed. It’s a hard thing to manage and we brought on scope managers later in the engagement. It all worked out.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
My advice is to keep in mind that you’re integrating a team. They’re not a “fire and forget” development house. You have to want to be involved in the process. Personally, I see that as a strength. I can understand how it could be daunting to integrate a team into your own if you aren't used to it.

Mobile & Software Dev for Digital Health Company
"They’re a competent team that has integrated well into our company."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a co-founder of a digital health company. We’re working to develop a mobile app as well as some different admin panels to allow people to store their vaccination records and provide personalized recommendations for traveling to different locations.
What challenge were you trying to address with KindGeek?
We were looking for a primary software development team to build our entire product suite.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We’re not technically-minded at all, so they helped us through the whole process. They handled front- and backend development, UI/UX design, and project management. We had a color scheme and rough branding model picked out before we started working with them, but they were instrumental in putting together the actual layout and design of the app. The final product is available for iOS and Android.
What is the team composition?
We’ve worked with the same project manager throughout our engagement, but they’ve given us different UI/UX designers and front- and backend developers on the different projects we’ve partnered on. We’ve always had between 5 to 10 of their team members working with us.
How did you come to work with KindGeek?
We had a recommendation from someone to look into KindGeek, but the recommendation came from someone who hadn’t worked directly with them so we still spent a long time looking at different developers. During this process, we got along really well with their team. They were able to share our vision for our products from the first time we spoke with them. We were confident we’d be able to work well together for a long period of time.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent about $30,000–$60,000 so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We’ve been working together since June 2020
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Both our iOS and Android apps have attracted a few hundred users and neither has had any crashes. Our internal testing and user feedback have all yielded positive results. The user experience and flow of the app are exactly what we wanted. We collaborated on specific elements of the solution that we felt were necessary. They were able to incorporate these elements without any issues. We’re really happy with the final product and are excited to keep working with them.
How did KindGeek perform from a project management standpoint?
Kate (Project Manager) has been great at managing the project. She’ll explain the technical details to us in an easily digestible way and then will effectively relay our ideas to their developers. She’s held the team together and has been the driving force behind us achieving our goals for the project. We have weekly standup meetings over video calls. Outside of these meetings, we communicate via Slack.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re a competent team that has integrated well into our company. Their price point is very competitive and they’ve never gone over budget. They stick to deadlines but stay realistic about the deadlines they set. We feel like they’re invested in our goals.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can’t think of anything. The experience has been completely seamless, with the only project delays stemming from Apple-related issues.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Definitely make the most of all your communication channels. Having the Slack channel in conjunction with our weekly meetings has helped us keep everything on track.

Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the initiator, the passionate visionary, the creative mind and let in close collaboration with our CTO the development of our web app, basically transforming our startup idea into a compelling product together with our agency partner KindGeek.
For what projects/services did your company hire KindGeek, and what were your goals?
KindGeek developed our web platform from scratch. The company has worked on React integrating calendar and payment features. The goal was for KindGeek to guide us through a discovery phase, come up with a design concept as well as functionality solutions.
Once the scope of work has been defined, KindGeek worked both on our bespoke backend as well as consumer-facing frontend. KindGeek's reliable communication, on-time delivery of milestones, and overall project management satisfied us very much.
How did you select KindGeek and what were the deciding factors?
We had heard that the Ukrainian IT market offers competent web consulting and app development options at an attractive price point. We had therefore started an RFP process and were looking to find a partner for our project execution in the Ukraine. During the Tender we became aware of another Swiss startup KindGeek had worked with previously, and after an exchange with that startup only got positive feedback.
After conducting research, we decided to collaborate with KindGeek. The deciding factors were, that after the Discovery Phase we conducted with KindGeek and after having evaluated their work against some other software development companies we had a closer look at, KindGeek outperformed in terms of quality and pricing, which is why we worked with them as a partner in the end.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
Our idea was to develop a web platform that allows our customers to browse profiles and to book personal shopping trips with so called "profashionals" aka "stylists". KindGeek built the frontend and created the backend logic (using scratch in React). Also, KindGeek added a calendar function to show our stylists' availability to customers. Moreover, for automatic payments, Stripe was seemlessly integrated.
We began our cooperation with running the Discovery Phase. Our KindGeek's colleagues at all times, listened and assessed our needs carefully and came up with suggestions that were feasible in terms of time and budget available.
They helped us to turn our idea into a compelling product that ever since its launch, proved to fuction without any major technical issues. They used React JS, WebStorm, Sketch, Zeplin, and Invision technologies and tools. We went live in October 2018, and the platform is up and running since day 1.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
The team at KindGeek's side consisted of seven team members. First, we contacted the CEO. After that, a full-time business analyst was allocated to our project. At the peak of the project, we worked with two frontend developers, two backend developers, a lead architect, and a Q&A person.
However, the size of the team dedicated to our project differed throughout its different stages - the team size was hence always adjusted according to our project-demand. We mainly worked on a time-and-material basis, not on a "dedicated team" basis. Which proved to work very well for us.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
We receive frequently positive feedback from our users that the UI and UX of our website is self explandatory, intuitive, and visually appealing. Customers find the platform easy to navigate through and straightforward. We at myProfashional are satisfied with KindGeek's work and will be glad to keep collaborating with them in the future.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
We have used plenty of different channels to communicate. Mainly, we interacted via Slack and re-occuring calls. On a ticket-management level, we worked with Jira. For design work, we mostly leveraged the tool Sketch for design. The business analyst dedicated to our project was young but incredibly skilled and senior in terms of project management.
This was an indispensable part for the success of our project. KindGeek’s business analyst was truly exceptional in terms of punctuality and communicated most transapently and precise. Without her, I'm not sure we would be where we are today. Also, when our team visited the company's office (Lviv, Ukraine) KindGeek's folks demonstrated their commitment and reliability to us in a very pleasing manner.
We had an important pitch event here in Switzerland. We promised to have our product ready by that deadline. So, the deadline of the project was set from the very beginning of our cooperation with KindGeek. And they managed to successfully implement our project on time. They followed up on tasks and completed them with precision.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
At all times of the project, we as a team had a good feeling that we knew what was going on and what we'd spend our money on. When visiting KindGeek's office in 2019, the atmosphere was very welcoming. The experience of working with this company was smooth and rich of transparency despite 90% of the work having been conducted in a remote working collaboration.
To us, knowing the people we worked with made a difference. It was a valuable factor to have spent a week at KindGeek's office.
I'd recommend this to anyone considering to work with KindGeek since it helped us as a startup team to understand them as development partner. It also improved the collaboration siginificantly once we knew who took care of what - I want to say, even friendships were built.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
It was hard to agree on the cost estimate in the beginning. Our budget was limited, and we had to agree on a exact scope that we could squeeze into that budget. But after that moment, we have cooperated well, and KindGeek, has resolved issues and managed our budget very indepenantly and reliably.
We have stayed on track with the budget. It took us a while to define what was in and what was out in terms of features, but the final cost estimate was precise, and we have neither overspent (nor underspent).

Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the co-founder & Chief Product Officer at VacTrack. VacTrack is a patient-centric app that delivers information regarding when vaccinations should be taken and where these vaccinations can be taken in relation to travel and government specified recommendations.
For what projects/services did your company hire KindGeek?
VacTrack used KindGeek for the whole development cycle of it's MVP. This included initial designs and ran through full stack development, project management, and app store release.
What were your goals for this project?
To create an MVP that we could deliver to stakeholders and clients.
How did you select KindGeek?
After exploring multiple options (10) we decided to go with KindGeek as they provided the most in depth scope and breakdown of the project, proving greater insight into our needs than their competitors. They also provided a quote in line with our expectations which also priced them very well against the other options.
Describe the project in detail.
We had designs and a general idea before entering into a contract with KindGeek. they started with wireframes and created stories/flows based on this which after iterations were taken forward to develop the full app. It is developed for iOS and Android. They did not just deliver as we needed but helped in talking us through different options we had not considered and demonstrated how this could be advantageous to the user.
What was the team composition?
the size of the team was consistent throughout and involved a Project manager, business analyst, UX/UI designer, as well as a flutter developer and backend engineer.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We achieved an additional 50K in financing having delivered the MVP. We are working towards securing our first client. The results were as expected. The app produced was a high standard and better than imagined in many ways. There were a few minor issues that KindGeek quickly resolved and worked with us to ensure these were fixed in accordance with our expectations.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Using slack and google meets as the mainline of communication, I met with KindGeek three times a week at a time that suited me as well as getting regular updates. There were slight communication mishaps at the beginning of the relationship as one can expect in any new business dynamic, however, we quickly came up with solutions to this and the ongoing relationship and communication was great. I am hence looking forward to continued work with them knowing communication will not be an issue.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Their ability to find solutions quickly and offer alternatives impress us the most. We didn't feel fixed in to one suggestion. They worked quickly and efficiently and stuck to a set and defined budget without VacTrack having to monitor this.
Are there any areas for improvement?
This is my teams first attempt at developing an app and have little product experience. It would have been good to have sat down at the beginning and established how we would be involved, especially during the design phase. Otherwise, everything was better than expected with great outcomes.

Please describe your company and your position there.
A live streaming and video on demand platform for Sport and Music. Founder, CEO and Head of Product
For what projects/services did your company hire KindGeek?
We hired KindGeek to complete our Discovery Phase and prototype. This included full scope, mind maps, UI design, clickable prototype, WBS sheet, and architecture.
What were your goals for this project?
We wanted a full scope for our MVP, as well as a quote for this MVP and Alpha release, and a clickable UI Prototype
How did you select this vendor?
We researched online, made a list of 6 companies we vetted via Zoom interview, and were the most impressed with KindGeek. Their knowledge and the initiative they showed put them on top of the list, and the fact their designers made some static screen UI mocks as a part of their presentation sealed our decision.
Describe the project in detail.
We worked with the team on the scope for our MVP and Alpha release of our Live Streaming and Video on Demand platform, including meticulous details on features for each release, mind maps, tech stack, architecture, third party API integration and UI design. I worked with them on the scope, provided design documents, market research, API options, UI design examples and sat in on meetings each week (around 3 per week) to give guidelines, feedback and help make decisions. KindGeek took my feedback, guidelines etc. and put together our mind maps, UI design, WBS sheet and prototype.
What was the team composition?
We had 3 main team members. A Project Manager, DevOps, UI Designer. We then added an architect later in the project for our wire frames and third party API research
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We got exactly what we were hoping for. A clickable demo that shared/demonstrated our vision, as well as a meticulous scope document, roadmap, mind maps and WBS sheet to allow us to take to investors and partners.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Workflow was great. Our project manager was extremely reliable with scheduling and keeping meetings, as well as times (greatly appreciated given the time difference). We received summary emails of all work completed each day, as well as main points of our meetings. We communicated over email and Slack.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The team was fantastic. Really enjoyed working with them. Extremely friendly, knowledgable and professional. Took direction extremely well, and in our initial meetings, took amazing initiative to build on our ideas and vision. There was no language barrier at all and I was extremely impressed with the level of detail. They were extremely meticulous, often posing features, future problems and scenarios I hadn't thought of.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Not too many, maybe just expectations of the scope of work which resulted in them going slightly over budget and I feel this could've been avoided if there was slightly better communication of our priorities.

We’ve heard good things about KindGeek from a company we’d invested in.

As a pleasant bonus, South Africa and Ukraine are mostly in the same time zone, which was convenient. Despite the cultural differences and distance, our communication was effective and enjoyable.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The work was always delivered in time and just how we imagined it. They also brought in business analysis expertise to ensure that there was no “roughness around the edges” of the product that might’ve affected its performance negatively. It was a pleasant bonus.

I didn’t notice anything that negatively affected our partnership or work.
The company is impressed with KindGeek’s communication and development skills. They’re flexible experts in their field. They also coordinate well with the firm’s internal stakeholders, enabling them to contribute to the projects and deliver results. Overall, the partnership has been successful.
