Steven Poelman Co-CEO at Multi Corporation
5.0★
Big Data Analytics Review from Steven Poelman
Kanerika made a team for us to discuss the details and develop Power BI project. 3 personal dashboards were also planned and designed. Firstly the architecture of the system was created and implemented. The dashboards for heads of departments were developed and tested by the reconciliation dashboard too. Finally we got the staff training for interactive analytics dashboards usage. Power BI system has highlighted the efficiency of our working process. After tracking the efficiency we rose the sales for 20%, offer more client oriented service, and have budget prediction. Professional team service for great cost. Kanerika showcased awesome automation of business analysis and regularly updated reports.
David Abelyan Founder at Cake Mortgage Corp
5.0★
Big Data Analytics Review from David Abelyan
The Kanerika team helped us create online meeting capabilities to meet with candidates online, view video profiles and message. All these online features are great for our application but what makes our solution unique is that all these are tied to the candidate profile, hiring position organizational needs and overall organizational profile. This creates a strong bond and trust between the organization and the candidate.We wanted a platform to build long term relationships between organizations and their immediate and future needs and candidates who may want to explore opportunities now or build a relationship for a future opportunity. Kanerika worked with our team to understand our changing requirements and delivered technical solutions incrementally using an agile approach. Organizations can store and update their profiles, job requirements and track each hiring process.Their philosophy of investing in clients and view of client success as their own was unique. Everyone uses the long term relationship as a tagline but Kanerika actually lived up to it.
Promod Sharma President at Criterion Systems

Big Data Analytics Review from Promod Sharma
Kanerika is creative and technically sound. They found the flaws in our data and fixed it. That means they are super proactive. In the end the product is great which is what we want to be the base of everything we do. Our main goal is adoption. So we measure success by seeing if our marketing and brokerage teams are using the product. At least 50% of our users should be using the dashboard, that means the product is valuable for them and we are already at 75%. In other words we have already hit our adoption goal.Apart from that we have received verbatim feedback around user satisfaction for the dashboard and its features. We have 74 offices globally and most of them have given us interesting feedback. One of them even called it a game-changer.Also the level of attention Kanerika provides is awesome. Their team does their homework. They dig deep and inspect everything about the product to make sure it will last.

Karan Magu Founder at Emerge Intercontinental Pvt Ltd
5.0★
Mobile App Development Review from Karan Magu
It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Sunny and his team at Quokka these past couple of years on myweb - an interface for organizing personal digital activity. Couldn't have chosen a better technical partner to bring my vision to life. This compact yet extremely capable team are the ones who transformed a mere sketch on a piece of paper into a proper and performant software, which I would say works as well as any global software you may have installed on your device (often created by large venture funded team of engineers). I found Sunny after having a poor experience with the quality produced by a previous software development firm, and was instantly convinced by his professionalism and intelligence. I've worked with the team across multiple domains - whether it's iOS Swift and working on a complex share extension for iphones, or Kotlin for Android, or backend work for syncing data, or making a desktop client, even UI/UX design - and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a transparent, trustworthy and capable young team in the realm of software dev. One thing I really appreciated is the regular updates and check ins from their end at each step of the journey, which keeps things clear and transparent.

Mobile App Development Review from Dr. Lesley Kirkpatrick, MD
I had a great experience working with Tepia. Abraham, the Founder and CEO, was available, helpful, and actively involved throughout every stage of the process. Kimmy, my assigned project manager, was organized, responsive, and clear in her communication from start to finish.They anticipated potential obstacles before they became issues and approached everything with a thoughtful, solutions-oriented mindset. The team was consistently proactive, professional, and transparent. I truly appreciated their structure and ability to keep things moving smoothly. I would highly recommend working with Tepia.
Robert Beknazarian President at RELI - Windows & Doors

Mobile App Development Review from Robert Beknazarian
Working with Tepia Co has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. They played a critical role in developing our mobile app for RELI, and I can confidently say they exceeded our expectations on every levelFrom day one, Tepia demonstrated a deep understanding of both the technical and business sides of app development. They didnt just execute tasks they asked the right questions, challenged assumptions when needed, and helped us think through complex workflows in a way that improved the final product. Their team truly operates as a strategic partner, not just a development vendor The communication was excellent throughout the entire process. We always knew where things stood, timelines were clear, and any issues or changes were handled proactively and transparently. For a project as complex as ours involving pricing logic, user flows, financing options, compliance considerations, and scalability this level of clarity and responsiveness made a huge difference.What really stood out was Tepias attention to detail and commitment to quality. The app they helped build is stable, clean, intuitive, and built with long-term growth in mind. They were thoughtful about architecture, performance, and future enhancements, which is critical for a company like ours that plans to scale aggressively.They were also extremely flexible and patient as our requirements evolved (which happens in real-world startups). Instead of pushing back, they collaborated with us to find smart, efficient solutions that aligned with our vision and budget.If youre a founder or business owner looking for a team that:Truly understands mobile app developmentCommunicates clearly and consistentlyThinks strategically, not just technicallyDelivers high-quality, scalable workI highly recommend Tepia Co without hesitation. They have been a trusted partner in bringing RELI to life, and we look forward to continuing to work with them as we grow

5 FAQs About Software Development Companies in Texas
What are the red flags when evaluating software developers in Texas?
The clearest red flag is an agency that skips a paid discovery phase and moves directly to writing code, which almost always leads to scope creep, plenty of rework, and a final bill that bears no resemblance to the original quote.Â
If the development requirements are not well defined prior to billing, the ambiguity works in the software agency’s favor as it allows it to add more billable hours. Here are some other warning signs to look for during evaluation:Â
No structured discovery phase offered. Any agency that can quote a fixed price within 48 hours of a brief discovery call hasn't fully scoped your project.Â
Case studies that show screenshots but not outcomes. A credible case study should name the client, the problem, the timeline, and the outcome. Â
The team you meet in sales is not the team building your product. Ask to meet your assigned project manager and lead developer before signing. Â
Vague answers on IP ownership. You should own 100% of the code on day one after final payment. Any hedging on this needs a lawyer before you proceed.Â
No defined communication frequency in the contract. If sprint reviews, status reports, and escalation paths aren't written into the agreement, you'll be chasing updates six months in.Â
References are unavailable or from more than three years ago. Tech projects fail regularly; ask for two references from engagements completed in 2024 or 2025.Â
What do software development companies in Texas charge that most clients don't expect?
 Project management overhead and infrastructure provisioning routinely add 30% to 50% to the base development rate. Here's what other costs are commonly add-ons:Â
Change order premiums. Every feature added after scope sign-off is typically billed at a higher rate. Agencies add 20% to 40% contingency to fixed-price quotes simply because requirements almost always change.Â
Post-launch support and maintenance. Annual post-launch support for any application is rarely included in a proposal for the build phase.Â
Cloud infrastructure and DevOps setup. AWS, Azure, or GCP configurations do not fall under development, and agencies often bill them separately.Â
QA and testing. Many proposals quote for development hours only. Â
Handover and documentation. At the end of the engagement, you need working documentation to maintain and extend the codebase.Â
What's the difference between a good Texas software agency and an average one?
The difference between a good and average software developer in Texas will reflect in the way they handle your first two conversations: a good agency asks harder questions than you do, while an average agency rushes to propose solutions before understanding the problem.Â
Here's what separates them across the five critical evaluation criteria:Â
CriteriaÂ
Average agencyÂ
Good agencyÂ
DiscoveryÂ
Quotes after one callÂ
Charges for discovery; won't quote without itÂ
Case studiesÂ
Screenshots and logosÂ
Named client, defined problem, measurable outcomeÂ
Team accessÂ
Sales team only pre-contractÂ
Introduces your actual PM and lead dev before signingÂ
Scope handlingÂ
Agrees with everything you sayÂ
Pushes back on unrealistic timelines or budgetsÂ
Risk discussionÂ
No mention of what could go wrongÂ
Mentions technical and timeline risks proactivelyÂ
What should a software development case study feature?
A case study worth taking seriously names the client or offers a reference call, describes the specific technical problem, identifies the stack used, and quantifies a measurable outcome. Here's what to look for:Â
A defined starting point: Where was the client's system before the engagement? Without a baseline, be it legacy architecture, error rate, deployment frequency, or user drop-off, there is no way to evaluate how much the agency actually moved.Â
A specific problem: "The client needed a modernized platform" is not a problem. "The client's monolithic architecture was preventing deployments more than once per quarter" is. The specificity of the problem statement tells you how precisely the agency scopes work.Â
Stack and architecture decisions explained: Why did they choose that framework, cloud provider, or database? Agencies that can articulate sequencing decisions understand software architecture as a system.Â
Timeline honesty: How long did the engagement actually run versus what was originally scoped? An agency that only presents on-time, on-budget case studies is either working in low-complexity environments or omitting the engagements that didn't go as smooth.Â
A business outcome: Deployment frequency doubled. Support ticket volume dropped 60%. Time-to-close for sales-assisted workflows cut from 14 days to 3. If the case study stops at "we re-architected the backend," ask directly why no business result is cited.Â
How do I choose between two software developers in Texas that look equally qualified on paper?
When two software development companies look equally qualified on paper, the differentiator is always process. Ask each one the same operational questions and compare the specificity of their answers:Â
What happens if a requirement needs to change mid-sprint?  A named change order process with a written approval step is the right answer. "We're flexible" is not.Â
How do you handle a project that falls behind schedule?  You're looking for a specific escalation contact and a defined timeline for resolution.Â
Who do I contact at 4pm on a Friday with an urgent issue?  The answer should be a name, not a reference to a support portal.Â
Can I see a sample sprint report from a current engagement? Redacted client information is expected. What you're evaluating is the format, the depth, and whether it's the kind of document that would actually keep you informed.Â
What would you do differently if you could restart your most recent project?  An agency with no candid answer to that question hasn't examined its own work closely enough to improve it.Â
