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

Project:

We hired OTAKOYI to build the digital infrastructure for our consultancy, BRNDLB. The scope included a public-facing website and a suite of AI-powered internal tools to support client work and streamline operations.

Scope of Work:

The engagement started with a request for a Webflow-based website, but expanded as we identified operational pain points. OTAKOYI worked with us to map out how we run engagements, from onboarding to delivery. Based on that, they developed a set of tools that help us handle client intake, summarize workshops, generate proposals and reports, and deliver strategic and creative outputs faster.

Key Deliverables:

Website

• Fully responsive Webflow site
• Modular templates for service packages and case studies
• CMS for blog content
• SEO setup and analytics integration

AI Workshop Tools

• Summarizes workshop notes and transcripts into structured outputs
  Identifies opportunity areas, clusters insights, and drafts concepts
  Helps convert raw input into client-ready materials

Proposal and Deck Generator

• Generates strategy proposals, timelines, and budgets from client inputs
  Builds Google Slides decks using branded templates
  Includes support for naming, messaging, positioning, and creative ideas 

Knowledge System

• Internal tool to store and surface frameworks, past work, and reusable content
  Context-aware recommendations based on project type and industry
  Helps reduce time spent recreating existing materials

Workflow Automation

• Internal dashboard for managing projects, timelines, and deliverables
• Automated onboarding sequences and client follow-ups
• Integrated with Google Workspace, Notion, Slack, Airtable

The tools OTAKOYI delivered are now a core part of how we operate. They save time, reduce manual work, and help us move faster without sacrificing quality. The team was technically strong, responsive, and able to translate our needs into working systems that hold up under pressure.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

• Proposal development time reduced by ~70%. What used to take 4-6 hours now takes under 90 minutes using the internal tools.
• Client onboarding process became fully automated, cutting admin time per client by 2-3 hours.
• Deck and report generation accelerated significantly. First drafts for workshops or strategy presentations are now produced within 24-48 hours, down from 4-5 days.
• Internal knowledge reuse increased. We estimate that around 40-50% of new deliverables now leverage past work via the knowledge system, reducing duplication and improving consistency.
• Team output improved without increasing headcount. We’ve been able to handle more parallel projects with the same team size.
   

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

Project management was structured and reliable. OTAKOYI worked in sprints with regular check-ins, and we always knew what was being worked on and when to expect delivery. Most deliverables were on time or very close to it, with delays communicated early and clearly. We used Whatsapp, Email, Google Meet and various collab software (Figma etc.)

They were responsive to feedback and adapted quickly when priorities shifted or requirements changed. Communication was consistent, and they were proactive in raising questions or flagging potential issues. Overall, they operated more like a product partner than a typical dev agency.

What was your primary form of communication with OTAKOYI?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

They think ahead. OTAKOYI wasn’t just waiting for instructions — they looked for gaps, made useful suggestions, and often delivered more than expected. Very open to feedback, no ego. Worked like a partner, not a vendor.

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

A bit more pressure-testing of early assumptions would’ve helped avoid some mid-project revisions. Nothing major, but a stronger push during scoping could have saved time later. Otherwise, they were solid across the board.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

One of the key strengths of Otakoyi was their project management approach. Their project manager broke down the overall project into smaller, manageable tasks with clear delivery dates. This allowed for a structured and organized development process. Each task was presented to our team for review and testing before moving forward, ensuring that we were involved at every step. 
This approach allowed us to provide feedback early on and have a clear understanding of the progress being made. The project manager maintained open lines of communication and was responsive to our inquiries. We greatly appreciated their transparency and attention to detail, which ultimately led to a successful and timely delivery of the project.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a real estate marketing firm. We’re located in Los Angeles, California.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with OTAKOYI?

Nobody was able to grow at our speed. The first people we had suggested we do a WordPress site, but we outgrew it. The second people suggested Ruby on Rails, but we also outgrew the platform.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

OTAKOYI has completely rewritten our website. They’ve rebuilt the backend while keeping the website alive, making it much harder than just crashing it and building a new one. However, we didn’t want to touch it because we were already running it, and OTAKOYI has been able to do the backend while it continues to run.

We interviewed them, and they thought we should use Python and React. We initially had an in-house team, and OTAKOYI came in and studied our platform for 10 days. Then, they told us they were ready to take over. We were concerned that our team would leave when we brought them in, and that’s what happened. However, OTAKOYI told us we didn’t have to worry if everybody left on the first day because they’d still be able to control the site.

Then everybody left, and OTAKOYI rewrote our site. They put the backend in the frontend and the frontend in the backend. They also solved 80% of our bugs within the first month of working with them and all bugs within two months.

The platform is multilingual and fully functional in 20 languages; it has over 1 million items. OTAKOYI has also reduced many of our costs, like our Google and Amazon costs, and removed many third-party applications that were installed by previous developers.

Although we had a design team, OTAKOYI said they could do a better design. They asked if we minded if they tried, so we told them to proceed. After they showed us the new design, we let go of our design team and let OTAKOYI design our site.

We’re still not in the maintenance phase yet because we’re focusing on growth. However, everything we’ve achieved needs to be maintained, and they’re doing that without any challenge.

What is the team composition?

Depending on the time, we have 5–10 team members, including frontend and backend developers, UI/UX designers, and QA specialists.

How did you come to work with OTAKOYI?

We found them on Clutch. We found six companies we were interested in, contacted the six, and interviewed them. Ultimately, we had the best chemistry with this team.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $200,000–$300,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been together almost a year, since June 2023, and our partnership is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our traffic, click-through rate, and lead business conversion have substantially grown, but I don’t want to go into details 100%. Moreover, OTAKOYI has several skilled people working on our site to handle our exponential growth and move ahead of the curve; we’re always catching up with our growth. They move ahead based on what will happen, and we’re very happy with their foresight. 

How did OTAKOYI perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is excellent. What we like the most is that they think and plan ahead so there aren’t any emergencies. They’re very realistic about time.

We use Asana and communicate mainly through texts, emails, WhatsApp, and Google Meet calls.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Volodymyr (CTO) and Serhiy (CEO & Co-Founder) are fantastic.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They anticipate challenges and solve them before the challenges become a reality.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The biggest advice for new clients is to trust OTAKOYI’s vision and advice. They know what they’re doing and can foresee where things should go.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CEO of a company that conducts analysis of medical records for insurance companies.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with OTAKOYI?

We needed to build a new version of our application and add more resources to our development team.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

OTAKOYI provides resources that have built a new version of our app from scratch. Our platform uses Google Cloud Platform technologies and intelligent processing, and OTAKOYI will start working on that. The team has built the infrastructure to run the app and most of the frontend using JavaScript. OTAKOYI also works with Python and other technologies on the backend. 

The project also uses large AI language models and AI for document type and identification, and we're discussing with the team about adding a resource to work on that as well.

What is the team composition?

We've worked with around six teammates from OTAKOYI overall, although we currently work directly with two resources and may add a third teammate. Most roles we've worked with are software developers and one project manager. 

How did you come to work with OTAKOYI?

I believe OTAKOYI reached out to my business partner, although I'm unsure how we initially found the team. We selected OTAKOYI over other service providers from India and the US because we found the best match of resources and cost.
How much have you invested with them?

Our spending is in the range of $50,000–$200,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with OTAKOYI in the summer of 2023, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

OTAKOYI meets our expectations and delivers good-quality work. All teammates are good to work with and focused on meeting requirements.

How did OTAKOYI perform from a project management standpoint?

OTAKOYI stays on budget. Our project makes it difficult to set deadlines, and we focus on OTAKOYI's ability to deliver on our requirements efficiently and are always comfortable with that. We primarily communicate through Slack and regular check-in meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

OTAKOYI seeks to deliver a good job. Although we don't share a first language, our communication is really good. When we go through requirements, we use wireframes to express what we're trying to implement, and OTAKOYI's developers consider what we're trying to accomplish rather than just the specifications of our requirements. The team comes back with proposals on how to implement our requirements rather than just taking a specific direction and delivering that work. 

OTAKOYI clearly considers our requirements' goals, which is critical for our project since we're building a complex application. We need teammates who can consider how our requirements fit into the app's overall scheme, and OTAKOYI is very good at this. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything for OTAKOYI to improve — they've responded very well to our requirements.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Each project's requirements are different, but we've focused on ensuring OTAKOYI understands our business proposition and the problem our app is trying to solve for users. This has been critical in our project, and I suggest clients expalain requirements to OTAKOYI in the context of their app's overall purpose.
