Global marketplace for Ukrainian IT companies, CodeUA, created by the Ministry of Digital Transformation in collaboration with the Lviv IT Cluster, has expanded its platform features and revealed the number of registered clients and companies.
Launched in November last year, CodeUA is described by the Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, as "like Upwork for global business and Ukrainian IT." A global company enters the platform, selects a category, and chooses a task performer.
Initially, 220 companies were registered, with 30 still undergoing verification. In a recent press release, CodeUA announced that within two months of the platform's launch, 363 companies and 120 clients have already registered.
CodeUA provides clients with tools that promote effective interaction. These include:
-
Project Creation
Clients can create and post projects in just four simple steps. The process requires entering key project details, such as the goal, target audience, timeline, budget, required technologies, and development field. To enhance accuracy, clients can also provide references and specify desired features, helping potential performers better understand expectations. -
Matchmaking
Once the project is published, clients can find a company that best meets their criteria. The platform analyzes project details and company profiles, generating a list of the most relevant options. This simplifies the partner search and avoids wasting time on irrelevant proposals. -
Proposal Management
Clients can easily manage applications, reviewing submission dates, the alignment of performers with the required criteria, and the proposal status. All proposals are sorted, allowing users to track progress and make informed decisions. -
Comparison Table
A comparison table allows clients to quickly assess key proposal parameters, such as cost, completion timelines, and alignment with the client’s requirements. This simplifies selection and saves time. -
Project Discussion
The platform enables direct negotiations on the project page. A separate discussion thread is created for each proposal, helping to clarify offers and finalize collaboration terms. All communication is stored in a structured format for convenience and transparency.
