GBKSOFT

I've been working with GBK for some time now and I have never worked with a company as competent and reliable as GBK. Every member of their team is knowledgeable, professional, and personable. GBK's goal is not just to develop software but to also help you succeed and will do whatever they can to help you succeed.

What I've found most impressive about GBK is their project management and their estimates. Their project managers are super stars and their estimates are spot on every time. They clearly know what they are doing.

My most recent project with GBK was a Google Chrome Extension and they did an amazing job.

I highly recommend GBK for customer software and mobile app development.

Our small business has struggled for more than a decade to find a software solution to manage the processes of our niche industry as manufacturers of highly customized construction materials. We've spent tens of thousands of dollars testing existing products, but everything has been either totally unable to adapt to our workflow, a clunky glorified Access database with a UI so slow to work with that it's not worth the bother, or more often both. I have some background in web development, enough to mock up a few skeletal pieces of a larger application that were enough to convince me that a better solution was possible - if we had the time and money to create a custom application, which I was sure we didn't.

And then we heard about GBK. From the earliest conversations with them last summer, I was impressed by their professionalism. They asked excellent questions and very quickly grasped the complexities of our business and industry. When they quoted us a price and timeframe, the numbers were excellent - they proposed to have a minimum viable product ready in just six months, for a price competitive with buying off-the-shelf business software - but I, jaded as I was by years of sales pitches that never delivered, took those numbers with a grain of salt. When was the last time a software project came in on time and on budget, after all?

Well, it turns out the answer to that question is "January". That's when GBK completed the designated scope of work right in the proposed six month timeframe, and indeed came in slightly under budget. This was possible because their highly competent and communicative project managers and business analysts worked closely with me to work through every contingency. I have a good head for thinking through a workflow and identifying issues before they happen, but GBK's team put me to shame on that front. There were no unanticipated delays precisely because they were so good at anticipating what would delay us. The hardest thing I had to do in the entire process was just to keep up with their tremendous productivity.

I only wish our budget was unlimited, so that we could continue working with them on this project indefinitely. It's been a phenomenal experience. The new software is now being implemented and we expect it to pay for itself within just two or three years through reduced quality issues and improved productivity and morale. The user interface is elegant, attractive, and thoughtfully designed at every level; no clicking through eighteen different forms just to accomplish a single daily task, as with so many of the solutions we've seen. They even managed to implement what I'm fairly sure is an almost entirely unique in-browser PDF editor connecting PDF annotations to database objects - a feature which is, on its own, going to make an entire department noticeably more productive while also eliminating several possible sources of errors. The end result fits our business like a glove, and all for a price that was within the reach of even our small business.

In the end, it was probably good for us to search fruitlessly for a solution so long, since it forced us to think through our business logic more than most companies do. Still, I wish I could go back in time to tell myself about GBKSoft in 2010. The least I can do is make sure others know how much time and frustration they can avoid by working with such a professional, competent team of web development experts.

GBKSOFT has excellent tech capabilities and communication expertise. I highly recommend the company to anyone looking for budget-friendly excellent digital UX Project development with a human-centric approach. A team is dedicated to each project to ensure all tasks exceed client expectations. Valeria handled our project, it was such a relief to get that project development and completion managed by her. She was receptive and listen carefully to deliver the best with the assigned designer. It was made in time. Although we amend the material quite a lot to ensure best fit out. It was each time precise and consise. Excellent! I look forward to working with GKBSOFT again!

Fantastic experience working with Project manager Julia Leyleyko, Business Analyst Iuliia Snizkho and the rest of the team. Brilliant regular communication whilst thoroughly understanding the requirements and scope of my project and sharing my vision. I can't recommend them highly enough and look forward to working with them in the future!

GBKSoft has made technical issues approachable and understandable whilst presenting new solutions and ideas to enhance the development process and product UX. My product is in social tech and the teams' extensive experience in the field has come in handy when tackling relevant issues. I am very pleased with the time estimation for project delivery and the adherence to meeting all deadlines.

GBKSoft have been our outsourced development team for over 5 years and they have consistently gone beyond what I have expected of them. They are skilful, well organised, prompt & courteous and are led by a team headed by Alexandra & Lena who define professionalism.

Their PM’s are excellent and are always available and really push the project along at a great pace.

One of the reasons that we started using GBKSoft was price but the flexibility they gave us in easily adjusting the numbers of team members gave us greater flexibility in our cash flow allowing us to pivot much more easily then if we had the constraints & cash commitment to an in house team. I would highly recommend GBK whether you are a startup or an established company.

We started out looking for a website dev shop that would be communicative, professional and leverage established technologies to build us a website. After interviewing multiple US based and International firms, I discovered GBKSoft. Having worked with a number of offshore development companies over the years, I have experienced numerous projects that suffered from poor communication, poor project management and underestimation (time and $).

So I proceeded with some caution as we started our website development project. Right from the start, I was impressed with their communication, well written and verbose project documentation as well as the organization skills of the project manager. They use industry tools to collaborate and document progress as well as actively communicate with the client. At no point in the development process did I feel unaware of the progress or the budget/timeline was tracking. They are very good at cost estimation and time estimation, a skill which can be hard to come by in software development.

Our experience with the website development was so positive that we decided to embark on another, much more ambitious (multi-year) development effort with GBK. This project that was a first to market technology for our industry that was loaded with logic calculations and complexity to produce valuations based on a multitude of changing factors. The specifications process alone took 6 months in which time GBK documented every aspect of functionality in great detail prior to writing any code. It was the most comprehensive and well written spec doc I had been delivered in years!

The project took an additional 18 months to complete and GBK provided not only the development, but also the critical thinking and logic suggestions that go into building a complex web app. In many cases, the process felt very collaborative. They also kept the same developers staffed to our project through the build. This ensured that we could implement changes very quickly without waiting for new developers to be on-boarded. Our project manager was highly communicative at all hours and we used tools such as Trello and Slack to stay in constant communication and manage the project tasks.

Over the years, my team has even travelled the GBK office in Kyiv on multiple occasions to visit the development team and have onsite workshops to clarify development needs and requirements. GBK accommodated us on each visit and went above and beyond.

I many ways, this dev project has been a wonderful partnership and not just a "for-hire" project team. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any size project.

GBKSoft is great to work with. Their project management is excellent; the PMs are quick to respond and always have a great understanding of priorities and deliverables. Everyone on the team takes the time to understand your business and what it is that you are trying to achieve. We have worked consistently with them to build a very complex product, which we are constantly improving and iterating upon. Together, we have implemented some efficient ways of working to help unite the team, manage workloads and deadlines, and deliver a great product

I have found GBK Soft to be an excellent web development partner for my company. Their technical skills are high, communication is superb, project management is great and work efficiency consistently exceeds expectations. I would not hesitate to use this company for our web development needs.

GBKSoft were great to work with. We had a project that we wanted to turn around quickly and they did everything in their power to make that a reality. From sourcing developers, to the Project Manager getting an understanding of our business goals GBKSoft were great partners. The team were flexible and responded quickly to unforeseen changes and new requirements that cropped up due to external criteria.
