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

This project involved rapidly scaling development resources to launch an app quickly. The team partnered with Yalantis, who provided highly skilled developers on short notice, streamlining the talent search process. In addition to coding, Yalantis contributed across the board by handling project management, documentation, scrum, and quality assurance, covering back-end, front-end, design, and full stack support. Their flexible model allowed resource levels to adjust as the business grew—ramping up support when needed and scaling down as in-house developers joined the team. This adaptability proved crucial in efficiently driving the project forward.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Starting with just a few customers, we have grown to serve over 500 clients and reached half a million users. Yalantis played a pivotal role in our journey, helping us build a product that is trusted by international customers. Their expertise ensured that our solution met high global standards, allowing us to establish credibility and reliability in diverse markets.

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

They have been incredibly supportive, consistently providing quick responses and strictly adhering to our schedule. Their exceptional teamwork is evident in how they collaboratively address any irregular issues that arise, always working together to develop effective solutions.

What impressed me most about Yalantis is their comprehensive and adaptive approach. They not only deliver highly skilled talent quickly but also provide robust project management, quality assurance, and strategic support. Their ability to scale resources according to project needs and seamlessly integrate with your team makes them a uniquely valuable partner in driving successful, trusted product development.

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

While our experience with Yalantis was overwhelmingly positive, one area for potential improvement might be even more proactive communication in the early stages of a project. A bit more detailed upfront discussion around timelines, potential risks, and contingency plans could help set even clearer expectations from the start. That said, their overall responsiveness and commitment to quality have been truly impressive.

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

The project management was fairly transparent.  Our org could provide project details only in a piecemeal way & it was crucial for any vendors coming on to be able to pivot and change course quickly.  The PMs were always available and were ready with weekly & bi-monthly updates and statuses.  As our interaction progressed with the team members, some were not a good fit.  The team was able to pivot quickly and find a replacement

What was your primary form of communication with Yalantis?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The ability to embed themselves, learn quickly, and deliver is truly valuable to us.  We move fast & sometimes that comes at a cost.  Yalantis is able to keep up with our rapidly moving business & team & execute quickly.  Additionally, the team communicates well & are not afraid to reach out if they need anything.  

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

Yalantis has been a great partner in our jouney over the last year.  If anything, maybe a better ability to lean in on portions of projects they are not as comfortable with is my one nit-pick.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of digital products at Sera Prognostics, a leading biotech company in the US that focuses on the health of pregnant women. I've built and now lead the team that builds digital products to complement the company's clinical products. One of my responsibilities was hiring a new tech business unit and sourcing an engineering team. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Yalantis?

When I was hired, I was tasked with building digital products. We didn’t have a tech team, and we needed to build and launch the first set of digital products. As part of that, I went through a process to source an engineering vendor, and that's where Yalantis came in.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, Yalantis built the alpha version of our first digital product, a web app, which we would launch into the market. After that, we finalized that phase and went into building the beta version of the product. Now, they’re our ongoing partner to continue iterating on our digital products. They provide a team that includes frontend, backend, DevOps, QA engineers, business analysts, a project manager, and a designer. They make up our entire engineering and design teams.

They’ve helped us set up all the infrastructure from scratch, including the technical architecture design. The team is building the app on Microsoft Azure (MS Azure); I believe they're using React for the frontend, and they're using Figma for the UI/UX design. On the design side, they’re also helping us with some marketing and website design.

What is the team composition?

We work with eight people on a day-to-day basis, including a partner BA, two frontend engineers, a backend engineer, a QA engineer, a designer, and a DevOps engineer. I also meet regularly with two other people from their customer success team.

How did you come to work with Yalantis?

I found them on Google. We were looking for a company with experience building software in the healthcare industry. We went through a very extensive vendor evaluation process, comparing six different potential vendors. Yalantis was one of them, and we chose them not only because their proposal was great but also because their timeline was shorter than the other companies we evaluated. 

How much have you invested with them?

So far, we’ve spent over $200,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in May 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We’ve been extremely happy with Yalantis. They’ve been an amazing partner. The same team that we started with is the team that we have now. We haven’t had to request any replacements because everyone on the team has been great. The quality they deliver is great, and I like their commitment. 

We’ve all been very impressed by the speed of Yalantis' development. For example, one of the reasons we picked them is that they said it would take them 10 weeks to build the alpha version of the product. All the other vendors said it would take them 3–4 months. Yalantis delivered in 10 weeks and met all the deadlines.

They’ve consistently hit the speed KPI, which is essential for us. When the scope is defined, they’re great at estimating and hitting all the deadlines. They deliver everything they commit to. At the same time, they’ve been flexible when requirements change. With every release, we learn things, and priorities change. They’ve been great at adapting to those changes and being quite agile.

How did Yalantis perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been fantastic at project management and provide extensive documentation. We have documentation on every deliverable, release, and sprint. I work closely with them and participate in all the daily stand-ups and planning.

We use Microsoft Teams and Azure DevOps. My preference would’ve been to use Jira and Slack, but my company doesn’t use them. Yalantis has adapted to our communication and project management tools. Yalantis' customer success team asks us what they can improve during every biweekly meeting.

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

I'm especially thankful for Iryna, our project manager. She's been outstanding, and I don't know what I would do without her. Larysa,  our business manager, has also been very good. Overall, everyone has been awesome: Alina and Ihor, who are our frontend developers; Julia, our QA engineer; Vlad, our DevOps engineer; our backend developer; and our designer. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’m most thankful for Yalantis' quality-to-price ratio. Their pricing is excellent, and we haven’t had to sacrifice the quality of the output for the price. With other companies, we could get really high-quality services, but they're crazy expensive. With Yalantis, we get both high quality and a good price.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any areas they need to improve. In the beginning, their expertise was more in AWS. With us, they had to adapt to MS Azure, which was a bit of a challenge. However, they adapted quickly and learned what they had to learn. It hasn’t been an issue at all.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

You should compare different vendors. However, believe Yalantis if they give you estimates that seem too good to be true. That’s what happened to us at the beginning. It seemed too good to be true, and I didn’t know if they could deliver in that timeframe. However, they did deliver.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Yalantis helped us with business intelligence consulting and custom software development. The team built a feature for a product we were setting for trade promotion. Yalantis reported to my head of business intelligence (BI) and used Power BI for all the visualization and much of the backend work. Yalantis created a visualization of all the trade investments the company was scheduling through the year and the return we’d get from those investments.

The quality of Yalantis’ work met our expectations. We had notable labor savings and eliminated a package software we used for trade promotion, saving us about $3.5 million.

How did Yalantis perform from a project management standpoint?

Yalantis communicated very well with my BI lead and me. We had one-on-one meetings through Zoom. The team also communicated with my BI lead through other communication tools, including regular status reports via email in addition to the one-on-one and weekly meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Yalantis was very easy to work with and was technically competent.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything they could've improved.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Use Yalantis as much as you can. They can typically do much more than you’ve asked them to, so explore using them in ways beyond what you currently use them for.

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

Build a unified service built on the Django framework that integrtes with Stripe.

The scope of work was to deliver a unified broker between the platform and Stripe. The service needed the ability to handle everything on the Stripe side without the platform needing to know anything more than the service itself.

The service needed to create stripe connected accouts and handle payment information for the platform users as well as managing a complex set of relationships between customers and stripe accounts.

The main goal for the service with all of the information described here was to replace the payment run producres for the platform.

To achieve this Yalantis took the product and technical team members through a discovery which ended up with a high level design and the proposal of an iterative apraooch so that the service could be assessed for meeting outcomes as the project progressed. It was decided that the DJango framework and Python would be used so that there would be a lower barrier for hand over to the internal teams once completed.

Produce a set of apis that give the platform capability to manage connected stripe accounts

The platform required a set of apis that could handle the functionality described above. The key goal for the integration of this service is so that it will not tie the platform down to one pahyment provider if that need to change in the future.

Build a user portal for users to manage their payments information, invoices and payment methods

The users on the platform historically had no way to manage their own payment methods or view invoices and transactions that they had processed on the platform. The scope of work here was to give an easy to use interface for the platform users to manage this information for themselves.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

During the discovery phase the full scope of the work was agreed and a set of high level user stories were produced.

Each of the user stories was given a size and an estimate by the team.

The stories were broken down into quickly deliverable phases of work which meant that shippable code was delivered at the end of each two week sprint.

Once all of the user stories had been completed the legacy payments functionality could be turned off and the new service commisioned to deliver the required functions. 

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

We had no issues with how the project was managed. Any time there were questions, they were answered the same day and the team were always present if any information was required during the sprints.

What was your primary form of communication with Yalantis?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The team was carefully selected for the requirements of the work, not only for technical ability, but for cultural fit as well. This was a key factor foe us as we needed team members that were able to get the work done, be creative in solution development and also push us to be as innovative as possible during the delivery of this project.

The whole Yalantis team was accommodating from project conception to completion.

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

Nothing

What was the scope of their involvement?

Yalantis is tasked with providing our company with front- and backend development services using React and Go. The team is also responsible for automated testing and QC. On top of that, Yalantis provides project management services.

What is the team composition?

We work with five teammates from Yalantis: a frontend developer, a backend developer, an automated testing and QC specialist, a project manager, and a business manager. 

How did you come to work with Yalantis?

We found Yalantis through a Google search while doing due diligence on potential service providers. We conducted an interview process and selected Yalantis as the company we wanted to work with.
How much have you invested with them?

We've spent approximately $250,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Yalantis in February 2023, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our project is ongoing, and we measure success by the project's ability to reach key milestones at a particular time. 

How did Yalantis perform from a project management standpoint?

We need to receive particular outcomes by a specific date, which Yalantis has achieved for the most part. We communicate via Zoom and Microsoft Teams. We talk with the development team on a daily basis, and Yalantis' communication has been the highlight of our engagement.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Yalantis has a highly skilled team that is flexible in responding to our requests and needs. Additionally, the team is very good at providing feedback and input to the development process. Overall, the team's organization is going well. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything Yalantis can improve.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I highly recommend Yalantis to customers looking to partner with an outsource team.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the CEO and CTO of ELITE Athlete Services. We provide mental health, mental wellness, and mental performance services, focusing on amateur and professional athletes. We have our own clinic and are developing a technology solution to help assess and funnel all the athletes we deal with to the appropriate resources. In my role, I run all our day-to-day operations and technology development work.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Yalantis?

We were looking for an offshore tech development company that could do everything we needed without us having to create an internal team or find individuals outside North America to reduce costs. We wanted this technology partner to develop a proof of concept (POC) and an MVP. Our aim was to set a relationship and build it from there for continuous development iterations.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Yalantis has helped us develop our custom software system. Before we signed the contract, we had initial pre-sales meetings, during which I provided them with documentation. We also signed an NDA so that they could look at everything I provided. Then, Yalantis came back with an in-depth project proposal of about 50 pages.

Once we signed the contract, we had a kick-off sprint week, during which six of Yalantis' employees and I met every day to define the process and how everything would look. As for the technology stack, we're using React.js, Python, and Django to create this software piece. Moreover, our whole backend is hosted in AWS.

In addition to the development work, Yalantis has also assisted with our marketing, providing us with resources from Figma to support our pre-sales and pre-market efforts. They've also provided us with demo materials to build our pre-sales items.

What is the team composition?

As mentioned, we initially worked with six teammates from Yalantis, including the delivery manager, the customer success manager, the product manager, a business analyst, a designer, and a backend engineer. Throughout the process, more teammates have come in and out of the project. Now, we're consistently working with the project manager, the business analyst, a designer, a frontend developer, a backend developer, and a QA engineer.

How did you come to work with Yalantis?

I originally found them on LinkedIn with a group of different teams. After that, I found them on Clutch, saw their different reviews and ratings, reached out to them, and started talking with them from there.

How much have you invested with them?

Our initial project has cost around $75,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in February 2024, and our first project is about to be completed. However, I've signed a contract for continued work regarding reliability, and we've also talked about three more development phases.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We're very happy and satisfied with how everything has turned out and with the whole Yalantis team. Their willingness to discuss issues, fix problems, and help us with anything we need is great, so I wouldn't want to have developed this product, especially the MVP with anyone else.

We've achieved great results that we're very happy with, which is the reason we now have an ongoing relationship with Yalantis. If their work weren't good, we wouldn't have continued the engagement. However, it has made sense to continue working with them from a business standpoint, and we're happily working together. They like our team, and we love their team, too.

How did Yalantis perform from a project management standpoint?

We've had a few timeframe hiccups throughout the project, but we've also been changing requirements and dealing with those changes. As for budget management, Yalantis has stuck perfectly to their quoted budget. Whenever there are overages or cost differences, they take care of those differences themselves. This approach has been great and alleviates the stress of wondering what's going to happen. We use Zoom, Slack, and email to communicate, as well as Jira and Confluence for project planning.

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

Although the whole team has been very good, Yaroslav (Project Manager) and Yana (Business Analyst) have been excellent. They've made it very easy for me, helped guide the process, and made sure everything was accounted for. They've also come up with very good questions and good solutions, and we've had fantastic communication. Both of them have been extremely great to work with.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Yalantis has been very receptive to delivering anything we need and making changes as needed. They're very open to providing anything we ask for, which is very nice. Moreover, their communication is very open as well, and everything has flowed nicely.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can't think of anything Yalantis could change. Going forward with other projects, we might find some improvements. Thus far, we're very happy with them.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Don't be afraid to ask questions, ask for their advice, or negotiate with them because they're very open to all that, which is very positive. If you have questions or concerns, they're very open to talking with you, so don't hesitate to communicate.

Additionally, it's very easy to communicate with them. We were concerned about our communication, especially because we're from North America, and they're from Eastern Europe. However, we've had no issues whatsoever, and it has been better than expected.

BACKGROUND

I’m the director and founder of a telehealth medical company in Australia.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Yalantis?

We needed help with custom software development.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Yalantis has designed and developed a custom platform for patient management using Django. The platform includes patient information and processes patient medication orders. They’ve also integrated e-prescribing functionality and some recording features. 

What is the team composition?

We work directly with 8–10 teammates, including designers, business analysts, project managers, solution architects, and more people.

How did you come to work with Yalantis?

I found them on Clutch. They were a big company and had many good videos online.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent over $250,000 AUD (approximately $166,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in the first week of January 2024, and our partnership is ongoing. We’ll finish the project in the next 2–3 weeks.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Our measure of success is bringing to life the solution we need. Yalantis has helped us along the way to envision what it would look like, and the product is pretty much perfect.

I don’t have a software background, so it’s been really cool. They’ve given input into what we can and can’t do, and we’ve developed a platform that meets our needs and everything we want to do without continuing to rely on other systems. Overall, Yalantis has helped bring our vision to life.

How did Yalantis perform from a project management standpoint?

They meet our deadlines, and we communicate through emails, Slack, and Zoom meetings.

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

Constantine (Project Manager) is awesome.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I like their honesty. They weren’t just trying to take the money. Yalantis understands what we can and can’t do, what it’ll cost, and if some things aren’t worthwhile. They always have a purpose for everything and ask why we’re trying to do something or what outcome we expect, which helps us cut back on budget. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’d never done software before, so it’s been a learning curve. The only thing we weren’t expecting was the budget side of things. We initially had a rough idea of what the platform would be like, but as it was coming to life, there were so many things we wanted to add on top of the developing features that we blew up the budget massively.

Maybe Yalantis could educate people upfront by warning them that most people spend more because they want to add features they didn’t think of before, not because the estimations are wrong. They could keep that in mind.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Trust them; they have your best interests at heart, which is good. However, you should also understand that you’ll think of many other features to add to the software while it’s coming to life. You should have a list of the essential features and the features that would be nice to have for a feature release and stick to it religiously.
