No regrets – OpenGeeksLab is top class in every aspect
Sinsemellan AB
posted on 27/8/20
When we were recommended OpenGeeksLab, it soon became a duel in our decision – should we pick them or a Swedish company? Since we operate in Sweden, the easy answer would be the later, but from the start, we got a good feeling about OpenGeeksLab. They were clear, kept things simple and answered all our questions with honesty and knowledge. We decided to pick them and when the project was done, we had absolutely no regrets.
From the communication to the development, everything went on with quality and simplicity. They always showed a friendly side, but combined it with a perfect balance of straight-forwardness. OpenGeeksLab proved to be a skilled, technically gifted company that was easy to reach out for questions, clarifications, as well as additional functions, in which they clearly specified both the fee and what is included.
Also, they were a team who listened and talked – two key elements when developing a project – and they could see the bigger picture as well as the details. When a problem was located, they explained it and gave us options to pick the best alternative. The weekly meetings, the continuity and the flexibility are also important pieces of their puzzle.
All in all, we would therefore recommend OpenGeeksLab to everyone who wishes a partner with top class in every aspect. We haven't regretted picking them, not for a second, because they didn't give us any reason to.

I own a startup in office automation area. We hired openGeeksLab to build an app for one of our projects. They delivered professional service and quick turnarounds with updates. Beyond understanding how we wanted our application to function, they were able to recommend ways to improve some of our ideas. Despite the technical complexity of the app, the team managed to deliver the scoped cutting-edge features with the expected quality. We had a great experience working with them.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
openGeeksLab put the extra time in to compare our product to our competitors through competitive analysis and focused on how we can differentiate ourselves from them. Solid approach and deep immersion into the project are what impressed me the most.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
I have no claims, and I am delighted with the workflow and the result.

As it was my first product development experience, I was anxious about how it would go. But the company managed all the processes in such a way that I didn’t have to worry about anything.
I had only an idea for an eCommerce shop. The company did the rest of the work for me. At first, there was a project estimation. During the planning stage, we highlighted all the essential design and development points under my business goals. openGeeksLab developed the mobile and the web versions of the application. They considered all the necessary functions both for managers and end-users.
I am satisfied with the flow. Even though we were in different time zones, this didn’t cause any delays in the development.

Most of our team members have babies. Despite the feeling of boundless happiness, new parents are often confused. They don’t know how to cope with their toddlers. They don’t know how to monitor the health of newborns. So we came up with the idea of creating a special baby monitor. This healthcare device allows tracking vitals in real time while a toddler is sleeping.
We hired openGeeksLab to develop the mobile app for iOS and Android as well as the website for our project.

The workflow between our teams was at the highest level. We were excited to work with openGeeksLab. They know what they do.

On previous projects, I worked with different development companies. Unfortunately, the results didn't meet my expectations, and there were many complaints about their work. Therefore, I was looking for a team with deep technical expertise. The guys from openGeeksLab did the great work and took into account all my wishes.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
After a bad experience of cooperation with other companies, I had some fear. But openGeeksLab has exceeded all expectations. The product manager provided all the necessary consultations and recommendations at the planning stage to optimize the development cycle. The workflow allowed me to monitor development stages and track the time spent on each task. If necessary, we made adjustments. I was worried that the project estimation might differ at the planning stage and at the release stage. But the guys didn’t go beyond the previously agreed budget and deadline.
What was it about the company that you didn't like which they should do better?
I found the technical partner I was looking for. I’m sure that I’ll continue to work with them.

Executive Interview
Dmytro Dvurechenskyi
Founder & Chief Executive Officer, OpenGeeksLab
Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the company?
I am the founder and the CEO of openGeeksLab. After years of work experience as a senior full-stack developer in several companies, I came up with an idea to create my own company that could assist everyone in providing specific solutions, not just core technologies. openGeeksLab performs a two-step development process. At the first (planning) stage, we always work at a fixed price because of a set amount of work. At the second stage, a client receives a roadmap and estimated costs for a project. We create a team that works according to the Time & Material model. This approach allows us to be flexible and reliable for customers. All payments are transparent at each stage of a development process, and clients can see on what he or she spends money.
What was the idea behind starting this organization?
openGeeksLab puts in priority quality of development and quality of service. Since the time I started working as a developer, I know all the ins and outs of IT companies. Other software companies have some common problems. I know these issues. Thanks to this experience, I founded openGeeksLab and provided such development workflow that allowed us to exclude all possible pitfalls. The idea behind starting our organization was to create the company with a human face and to create a place where people work comfortably—our ecosystem.
What is your company’s business model– an in-house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
openGeeksLab is an in-house team that has a flat organization structure. We solve all the issues as quickly as possible, and without bureaucracy. We are a team. Therefore, if project tasks require expert opinion, any team member responsible for the specific area helps to deal with them.
How is your business model beneficial from a value-added perspective to the clients compared to other companies' models?
Our approach to work is to identify and solve a client's pain points, make his or her idea a reality. It’s simple! A Team Lead, a QA Engineer, a Product Manager, and a Scrum Master are involved in a project. We start the development process with the planning stage; prepare a basis for action to avoid overtime and not to go beyond the budget. The main thing for us is that a customer sees the overall picture transparently. A client must be in touch within the first two weeks. We'll take care of the rest. A customer only receives daily reports on the work. At this time, he or she may be engaged in marketing, fundraising, etc.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?
openGeeksLab generally caters to healthcare business, entertainment, real estate management, fintech industry. 85% of clients are repetitive to us.
Mention the objectives or the parameters critical in determining the time frame of developing a mobile app.
We define the time frame of a mobile app development based on the planning stage results and the software architecture.
How much effort in terms of time goes into developing the front end and back end of a mobile app?
How much time goes into developing frontend and backend, depends on a mobile app complexity, its value proposition, features to be implemented, design. We are focused on long-term projects.
What are the key parameters to be considered before selecting the right platform for a mobile application?
We provide business solutions for cross-platform mobile app development on React Native. I bet you know that such giants as Facebook and Instagram are built with this framework. openGeeksLab’s members have 10+ years’ experience in JavaScript and started to work with React Native from its beta version. Our experts also know native languages.
Which platform do you suggest your clients, to begin with when they approach you with an idea (Android or iOS) and why?
We create apps for both Android and iOS platforms at once. And that’s the beauty of React Native. It’s worth mentioning that the framework allows shortening the development process 1.8 times. As a result, our customers reduce costs by achieving the same high quality of a product as if they decided to build a mobile app separately for each platform.
Android or iOS, Native or Hybrid — which platform is best to use to build your app? What are your recommendations?
As I’ve already noted, React Native is the best technology to build your app. You don’t need to choose in favor of one OS—you get the advantages of two platforms at once and openGeeksLab will help you with this.
What are the key factors that you consider before deciding the cost of a mobile application?
The crucial factor is that a future application should bring money to its owner. Therefore, it should be fast, responsive, and user-friendly. The cost of a mobile app, as well as the time frame, depends on its complexity, scope of work, features and design solutions.
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.)
We follow three kinds of payment structure to bill our clients. The Time & Material model is ideal to work with large and long-term projects. As our experience shows, a client usually doesn’t have an accurate picture of all the necessary functionality at the start of development. We delve into the tasks with a client, brainstorm new ideas and improvements. A customer can also make adjustments directly during the development process. We also use the Milestone payment structure. In this case, a client receives an invoice after completing a milestone successfully. In case of hourly projects, a client pays only for the number of hours we’ve worked per week and controls work using time tracking tools.
Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget have you worked for?
We do projects from scratch. Each project engages an architect, designer, product manager, and developers. We work on projects that will benefit clients. If a customer helps people, then we give good discounts. We work on projects that will bring our clients money. We are responsible for what we do.
What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2018?
In 2018, the price range was between 10.000 USD and 200.000 USD.
Which business model do you suggest to your clients enabling them to generate revenue from mobile applications? Why?
A business model depends on a client’s needs, goals, and budget. Whatever the project, we develop it considering usability in order to bring money to its owner. We provide solutions that make a future product competitive and engagement for users. Each app can be monetized due to its value proposition.
