Case Studies
DNAeX - an athletic data company - turned to Knack to build a data management solution for managing a DNA collection and testing process.
Knack made it easy to store the scientific analysis and present this data to the client athlete in a secure manner, all while allowing for cloud accessibility across multiple devices.
Knack met all of DNAeX's data management needs, but also enabled DNAeX to get to market faster at a fraction of the cost of full-time developers.
"I built a complete data management solution in 4 days with no coding experience, saving at least $250,000 in hard development costs and getting to market 6-12 months faster so we could begin generating revenue."
