The team at The Apptitude did a wonderful job of understanding my requirements and delivering the best results possible. From the initial consultation phase of my project to the final phases and optimization, the team showed utmost professionalism and expertise.

Flyaps Reviews & Testimonials
Andrew Stetsenko
Founder at GlossaryTech, backed by Dice
5.0★
Python Django Review from Andrew Stetsenko
We partnered with Flyaps to build the GlossaryTech Chrome Extension from scratch, including the backend for tech terminology analysis.
The goal was to help recruiters, sales professionals, and other non-technical specialists in IT quickly understand the technical terms they encounter every day.
The first release shipped back in 2017, long before today's AI tools were available off the shelf. Flyaps built a custom tokenization layer on top of NLTK library to resolve the ambiguity problem - distinguishing "Go" the language from "go to the shop," or "Swift" the framework from the adjective, while also correctly recognizing multi-token terms like "Ruby on Rails" or "Amazon Web Services".
It was a pragmatic, precise solution that made the extension genuinely usable from day one.
The outcomes have validated that early bet. GlossaryTech now holds "Featured" status in the Chrome Web Store, has passed 25,000 downloads, and consistently serves 10,000+ weekly active users and 2,000+ daily active users. For a niche professional tool, that level of organic, sustained engagement is rare - and it traces directly back to the technical foundation Flyaps put in place.
Beyond the engineering, what stood out was how Flyaps engaged with the product itself. They contributed to architecture decisions, flagged edge cases early, and treated scope conversations with honesty rather than upsell. Communication was straightforward throughout, deadlines were met, and the codebase has held up well as we've extended the product over time.
I'd recommend Flyaps to anyone looking for a partner who combines solid engineering with genuine product thinking. They've been central to GlossaryTech's success and continue to be a team we trust.

Software Development Review from Dariia Ryzhova
Our collaboration with Flyaps has lasted for several major projects, of which I personally worked with them on two.
I am very satisfied with the level of expertise (both technical and domain), the involvement and responsibility of the teams, and the quality of delivery.
We successfully brought 2 major products to life together.
Flyaps teams have diverse specializations, so I had the opportunity to attract consultants from different fields: software developers, including high-level architects, DevOps, QA, and business analysts.
The teams have a modern technology stack and are experienced in Agile development. This allowed for smooth integration with internal teams and processes.
It is also important to note that Flyaps provides technical consulting on demand, and this was very valuable service as well. Overall, I can recommend working with Flyaps as a reliable and high-quality partner.

Their team's technical expertise is top-notch, and the new admin panel they created has made managing our operations so much easier. I am happy to recommend this team of professionals.

I have read previous reviews about the company's interview process and feedback on Google, and they are accurate. A few months ago, I successfully completed all three rounds of interviews, but ultimately, I was not selected for the position. While I accept this outcome, I found the feedback provided to be unprofessional. This reflects poorly on the company's professionalism in selecting employees.
Please don't say that I was never applied for the Job in your company.

Hiring OVO to help drive the rebranding efforts for our business that was recently acquired was one of the best business decisions I have made in my 25+ years as a marketing professional! After an international search, OVO stood out for their strategic, collaborative and experienced approach.
We are a niche B2B solutions company with a complicated business model. The team at OVO were quick to understand our unique challenges, they expertly guided us through a renaming process and simplified how we communicate our value to the market. Our new company now has a strong foundation and strategy that will fuel the growth that we seek.
This was clearly the best agency hire and I highly recommend them!

I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with our experience with OVO. Rebranding can be a daunting project. Picking a partner to help you through the process is like handing your baby over to a stranger. OVO’s expertise and insights made us confident that we made the right choice. As we went through the process, your team continually impressed us with elegant and concise approaches in each of the many stages. You listened and created an end product that was truly “us”. We could not be happier. The results have brought many compliments from existing clients and partners, and have yielded more positive results from prospective clients

According to Mordor Intelligence, large enterprises accounted for 71.29%of 2024 consulting spend, yet small and medium-sized enterprises are projected to record the fastest growth at 7.04% CAGR through 2030, driven by fractional consulting models and subscription-based advisory.
How long do business consulting projects usually take?
Project timelines vary significantly based on scope, complexity, and organizational readiness.
Quick diagnostic assessments and targeted analyses typically take 2-6 weeks.
Standard strategy development, operational improvement, or organizational design projects generally require 2-4 months.
Large-scale transformation initiatives, including digital transformation, M&A integration, or enterprise-wide change programs, often span 6-18 months or longer.
According to McKinsey research, only 30% of transformation efforts succeed overall, with digital transformations being even more challenging, often requiring sustained commitment over multiple years.
What is the typical consulting process?
Most consulting engagements follow a structured methodology designed to ensure thorough analysis and actionable outcomes.
The typical process includes:
Discoveryandanalysis: Understanding your business context, gathering data, conducting stakeholder interviews, and diagnosing root causes
Strategydevelopment: Synthesizing findings, developing options, and creating strategic recommendations aligned with your objectives
Recommendationspresentation: Delivering insights and proposed solutions with supporting rationale and expected outcomes
Implementation support: Assisting with execution, change management, and overcoming organizational barriers
Performance review: Measuring results against objectives, refining approaches, and ensuring sustainable impact
According to Consulting Success, 51% of consultants using value-based fees have an average project value of $10,000 or more, compared to 39% of consultants using hourly fees.
