GEKKO FOX

Gekko Fox is a Romanian custom software development firm with 10+ years in the field. The company operates from Romania and offers web and mobile application development, staff augmentation, and dedicated team models. Beyond development, Gekko Fox provides business analysis, project management, QA, 24/7 support, and consulting services across enterprise software delivery.

The firm works with Java, C#, Node.js, PHP, React, TypeScript, and other languages. On the enterprise side, engineers have hands-on experience with Oracle (including PL/SQL, Apex, Cloud Services), Microsoft (SQL Server, Azure, .NET, SharePoint, Dynamics CRM), and IBM (DB2, Netezza, WebSphere). For QA, the team is ISTQB-compliant and works with Selenium, jMeter, LoadRunner, Zephyr, and TestLink. Mobile development covers native Android (Java SDK) and iOS (Objective-C, Swift) as well as Ionic and Cordova.

Services and capabilities

Gekko Fox structures engagement around three primary models: fixed-price projects for clearly defined work, time & material for discovery and prototyping, and monthly retainers based on hourly rates. A hybrid option blends fixed and flexible terms.

Dedicated outsourcing teams include business analysts, project managers, software engineers, QA experts, and DevOps engineers, scaled to fit the project. The company works in short sprints with flexibility to reorder and adapt the backlog. Staff augmentation brings in mid-career developers to scale an existing team without permanent headcount. Web application development is the core offering, with teams aligned to business goals and timelines. Mobile projects cover both native and cross-platform builds with delivery tied to timeline and budget constraints.

QA and support extend across the full lifecycle. The QA process runs from the start of the project through deployment, covering manual testing, automation, performance, and security testing. Post-launch, Gekko Fox offers 24/7 technical support at L2 and L3 levels, handling everything from hyper-care to business-as-usual operations. DevOps engineers handle deployment and release management. Project management includes enterprise-level program oversight, and the firm offers consulting for architecture, systems integration (building or connecting APIs), and UX/UI design.

How they work

The standard process involves discovery and requirements gathering, design, development, testing, and deployment with regular communication throughout. Changes requested after development starts can impact timeline and cost, so the company emphasizes finalizing requirements upfront. Integration with existing systems—databases, CRMs, APIs—is available. Custom software can be built from scratch or integrated into current environments. Proposals are detailed, including schedules and deliverables. The firm has managed large enterprise projects and brings experience in program management, upper-level oversight, and team leadership.

Team and credentials

The company claims 10+ years of custom software development experience. No founder names, specific team size, or headcount are disclosed in the source. The QA team holds ISTQB certification. No other formal credentials (ISO, SOC 2, AWS partnership status) are mentioned. Industries served include digital signage, pharma, startups, gambling, telecom (the firm notes in-house telecom skills in the core team), and eGovernment. The firm references experience building applications with millions of visitors, though no named case studies are provided.
