Tired of vetting Upwork freelancers? Forward Genix provides dedicated development teams with consistent quality, included project management, and Fortune 500 experience. No more freelancer roulette.
Upwork works for small tasks. But for serious projects, the freelancer marketplace model breaks down.
5-star ratings can be misleading. Many top-rated freelancers deliver inconsistent work. You spend hours vetting and still get burned.
You become the project manager. Coordinating multiple freelancers, handling disputes, and ensuring quality takes your time.
Your freelancer gets a better offer and disappears mid-project. Knowledge walks out the door with them.
Different freelancers, different time zones, different communication styles. No unified project view.
Instead of hiring freelancers, you get a dedicated team that works exclusively on your project.
Skip the vetting process. Our developers are already tested, trained, and experienced with enterprise projects.
Every engagement includes a dedicated PM. You communicate with one person, not multiple freelancers.
Your dedicated team stays on your project. No turnover, no knowledge loss, no starting over.
Our team has delivered for RHB Bank and Fortune 500 companies. Real enterprise credentials.
Know your costs upfront. No hourly billing surprises or scope creep disputes.
Same team, same standards, every time. No quality lottery with each new hire.

When you factor in hidden costs, the math changes
Upwork is a freelancer marketplace where quality varies wildly and you spend hours vetting candidates. Forward Genix provides pre-vetted dedicated teams with project management included. For projects longer than a few weeks, Forward Genix saves you time and delivers more consistent results.
Our rates ($35-$50/hr) are comparable to quality Upwork developers. But when you factor in Upwork's platform fees (5-20%), your time vetting (10+ hours per hire), management overhead, and rework from quality issues, Forward Genix often costs less overall.
Yes! We recommend a 4-8 week pilot project to evaluate fit. This lets you see our quality, communication, and processes before committing to a larger engagement.
We can add team members within 2-4 weeks. While not as instant as Upwork, our new team members are pre-vetted and trained on your project, providing better quality than rapidly hired freelancers.
Yes! Unlike Upwork where fixed-price projects often lead to disputes, we provide clear scope documents and deliverables upfront. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs.
