Project Summary

MindK provided business consulting and custom software development for a Switzerland-based consulting/digital agency, helping several end clients build complex platforms and solutions. They led discovery, produced a project specification, delivered design mock-ups, and implemented a year-long, full-lifecycle project with multiple third-party integrations using Node.js, React.js, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and RabbitMQ. The client praised MindK’s flexibility, ownership, communication, and quality, and highlighted rapid team ramp-up and certified project managers.

Project Solution

MindK was recommended by a trusted partner and chosen among five vendors for turnkey end-to-end project development and strong ownership over deliverables. The engagement began with a discovery phase that produced a project specification document, followed by design mock-ups for approval. The work included a large scope of features and a number of complex integrations with third-party systems over a period of more than a year. Key technologies used were NodeJS, ReactJS, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and RabbitMQ. The vendor provided a large cross-functional team including CTO, senior business analysts, tech lead, project manager, designer, DevOps, five developers, and two QA specialists.
