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.

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.
Are there any areas for improvement?
I didn’t notice anything that negatively affected our partnership or work.

To collect and store large amount of data-sets of consumersI’m a firm believer that improvement is an endless process, especially in business. I have nothing particular to add about KindGeek: they do their best to continuously improve, and it’s quite apparent if you work with them. In their case, I’d say they should act just like they do, and they will remain a well-rounded successful company. .
How did you select this vendor?
We’ve heard a lot of good reviews about KindGeek. Also, their price to quality ratio is attractive.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
KindGeek had to fully develop a product. They planned the system architecture, chose the most appropriate tools to develop, designed the user interface, built front and back end from down to top, and tested everything.
