We were looking for a team or a company that we could rely on to help us with a client's project. We were building infrastructure, but we had no deep data engineering and web development expertise. We've asked DATAFOREST to do business and technical analysis of the project, create the necessary ETL pipelines and build a web platform for managing and reporting needs. We have finished the project's first phase and are scoping out new activities. We continue to work with them as technical partners.

We hired DataForest to automate our database reporting. DataForest fully automated the process needed to extract information from various operational systems. Then, they combined the data into our database to automate and streamline the reporting process. At the start of the project, we discussed two stages of development, and we later added a third stage. They delivered the first iteration and then upgraded to a second version, after which we gave final comments and changes. Finally, they delivered the final version of the product.

Initially we had requirements only for software integration services, however after another developer can’t deliver B2B portal we asked Dataforest to help us with that development. After we increase scope for mobile application and ultimately we asked for another B2B portal for our side business.

Managing Partner
Visit Profile

Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.

Dataforest is a Product and Data Engineering company. We apply Data Science techniques along with Web Development to build custom data-driven products for our clients, improve data management, and optimize infrastructure. In the last couple of years, Dataforest has gained a significant reputation in the market as a reliable Data Integration Partner.

As a Managing Partner, I'm focusing on creating sustainable processes around delivery, people, and project management and, last but not least, on sales and demand generation.

What is the story behind starting this company?

Our story began many years ago when we (three co-founders) worked at the same Bank in Ukraine. We were involved in improving risk management approaches by inventing an IT platform for SME and Corporate Landing. Since then we have become best friends and business partners. We obtained different management positions in the banking field at the CEE. Since 2015 each of us has founded small consulting and development agencies while continuing to work in the corporate sector. Ultimately, in 2018, we reunited, and the story of Dataforest began.

What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?

We are an outsourcing company; we have an in-house team of 50 + employees that includes developers, data scientists, data engineers, data and business analysts, and project management and QA teams.

How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?

Our core value proposition is data engineering expertise!

We have more than 15 years of experience working with different levels of data complexity. We worked on several hundred projects creating end-to-end data-driven solutions for SME clients around the world. We knew how to build highly loaded systems and optimize complex infrastructure. Additionally, we are a flexible, results-oriented company, working with an agile nature and providing our customers with high-level communication experiences that are consistent with our core business model.

What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?

We have significant experience in the retail, e-commerce, insurance, finance, and cybersecurity industries. We love to create lifetime value for clients - 92% of our clients return to us after we have completed their first project. We also provide support after project development, so our clients appreciate working with us in the long run.

Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?

We see high demand in the market for data engineering services.  Hence, our core services approach that demand.  Specifically, building ETL pipelines that gather data in data warehouses or data lakes, and based on that data create Business Intelligence, different types of Machine Learning models, or web applications.

What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?

The rating on Upwork (100% job success) and at Goodfirms (5.0) would say better for us. Our journey with Goodfirms recently started and we hope to be the top-reviewed company on your platform as well.

What kind of support system do you offer to your clients for catering to their queries and issues?

Since we provide end-to-end data engineering and software development services, we are keen to deliver support and maintenance for our clients. Our support packages are comprised of different SLA levels and the number of hours we commit to provide within those packages for support or for further development.

What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)

Since we are a flexible company that strives to deliver the best customer experience we have a variety of options available here. We work with the Time and Material approach or based on a fixed cost basis for milestones or for the whole project.

Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?

We do have a minimum budget requirement which is currently around $10K.

What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2021?

We developed a lot of $10-$50K projects, but we also did a dozen six-digit projects.
