Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.

We are a Events & Event Management company based in Hamburg, Germany. My role as VP of Technology at NordTech Logistik GmbH means I sit at the intersection of business goals and technical delivery — which means I care a lot about vendors who can translate between both.

What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?

Our internal team was good but maxed out. The AR/VR Development work needed for this phase of the product required a depth of experience we did not have internally, and could not build in time.

What services did the company provide for your project?

Full AR/VR Development lifecycle — discovery, architecture, development across ten sprints, integration testing, performance validation, production deployment, and a four-week hypercare period. They also produced system documentation and ran structured knowledge transfer sessions for our team.

Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?

We had a fixed budget and a non-negotiable timeline. Several vendors told us it could not be done. These were the ones who said it could and explained clearly why. They turned out to be right.

How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?

Honestly, better than we understood them ourselves going in. The workshops they ran surfaced assumptions we had not examined and caught three requirements that were in direct conflict with each other. Resolving those before development started saved us a significant amount of rework.

How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?

Communication was proactive and well-calibrated. Technical detail for the engineering audience, executive summaries for the steering group, and risks raised with proposed mitigations rather than just problem statements. The fortnightly sprint reviews kept our stakeholders informed without pulling them into every working session.

Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?

Yes on both. There was one sprint where a third-party API dependency introduced a one-week slip. They flagged it three weeks before it became critical, presented two options, and we agreed on one that recovered the timeline within the same sprint. That kind of foresight is the difference between good and average project management.

What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?

Hard to isolate perfectly given other business variables, but the metrics attributable to the AR/VR Development work are meaningful — session time up, conversion up, error rate down, NPS for the digital channel improved by double digits. Account managers say it is coming up positively in client conversations for the first time.

What did you like most about working with this company?

Team continuity. The engineers who ran the discovery sessions built the system. That consistency over a five-month engagement is valuable in ways that are hard to articulate until you have worked on projects where it was absent. Every conversation built on the previous ones.

Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?

Yes, without reservation. I have already referred two peers in the Events & Event Management sector who were facing similar AR/VR Development challenges. I gave those referrals confidently because I know the experience I described was not a one-off — it reflects how they work.

Cerrado Tech SA is a Aerospace & Defense business based in Brasília, Brazil. As Chief Digital Officer, I own the technology strategy and vendor relationships. Every spending decision gets evaluated against a concrete business case — we do not invest in technology for its own sake.

What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?

Our Cloud Services capability had become the bottleneck for everything. Feature requests, client requirements, internal initiatives — all of them were queuing behind a platform we had patched past its design limits. We needed a proper rebuild.

What services did the company provide for your project?

Full Cloud Services lifecycle — discovery, architecture, development across ten sprints, integration testing, performance validation, production deployment, and a four-week hypercare period. They also produced system documentation and ran structured knowledge transfer sessions for our team.

Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?

The questions they asked during the briefing were the first signal. Vendors who ask precise questions in the sales process tend to apply the same discipline during delivery. The technical proposal was detailed, the team was senior, and the pricing was transparent. All three were factors.

How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?

Thoroughly. The requirements document they produced was detailed enough that our QA team used it directly to write acceptance criteria. Every story had a defined business outcome attached. Nothing was left to interpretation, which paid dividends all the way through to testing.

How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?

Good. The sprint cadence worked well for our team. Fortnightly reviews gave us the checkpoints we needed. The one friction point — time zone overlap — was resolved after the first sprint and did not reoccur.

Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?

Yes. The estimates they provided during scoping proved accurate throughout delivery, which is rare. Most vendor estimates start optimistic and drift. These did not.

What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?

Biggest impact: our internal team is no longer spending three days a week maintaining a platform they hated working with. That productivity is now going into building. The platform change was as much about our engineering team's quality of life as it was about the end user.

What did you like most about working with this company?

They kept the business objective visible throughout technical decision-making. I have worked with excellent engineers who lose the strategic thread as complexity increases. This team maintained a clear link between every architectural choice and the outcome we had agreed to achieve.

Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?

Absolutely. We are scoping a second engagement and I expect this to become a multi-year partnership. For anyone in the Aerospace & Defense space looking for serious Cloud Services delivery, I would put them at the top of the evaluation list.

Lumière Technologies SAS operates in the Legal Services sector out of Paris, France. In my role as Directeur Technique I am responsible for both the technology strategy and day-to-day delivery. We hold our vendors to the same standards our clients hold us to.

What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?

We had a clear product vision for our next growth phase in the Legal Services market but the Software Development expertise we needed was not something we could recruit for on our timeline. An external specialist was the pragmatic answer.

What services did the company provide for your project?

Software Development design and build, plus the performance testing that revealed an architecture concern we needed to address before launch. The testing investment paid for itself. They also handled the deployment pipeline and monitoring configuration, which our internal team had not budgeted time for.

Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?

We shortlisted five vendors. Two were eliminated immediately based on the technical proposals. Of the remaining three, this team's Software Development approach was the most specific and evidenced — actual Legal Services reference cases, not generic slides. The reference calls confirmed what the proposal described.

How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?

The requirements process took longer than we expected but the thoroughness showed in the development phase — we had noticeably fewer mid-sprint clarifications and no major requirement changes that required rework.

How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?

Good. The sprint cadence worked well for our team. Fortnightly reviews gave us the checkpoints we needed. The one friction point — time zone overlap — was resolved after the first sprint and did not reoccur.

Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?

On time and on budget. The estimation accuracy was the part I found most impressive — they had broken the work down thoroughly enough during discovery that the forecast held throughout rather than drifting with every scope conversation. We had one change request, and it was for scope we had added ourselves.

What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?

We went live six weeks ago so it is early. The launch was clean, adoption is tracking ahead of plan, and the first client demo of the new platform generated a positive reaction we had not seen for the previous version. Ask me again in six months and I will have better numbers.

What did you like most about working with this company?

The fact that problems surfaced upward before they became crises. I have worked on enough vendor engagements to know that the ability to manage upward — to raise bad news early rather than bury it — is genuinely rare. This team did it consistently.

Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?

Yes, without reservation. I have already referred two peers in the Legal Services sector who were facing similar Software Development challenges. I gave those referrals confidently because I know the experience I described was not a one-off — it reflects how they work.

Rio Ventures Ltda operates in the Education sector out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In my role as Engineering Manager I am responsible for both the technology strategy and day-to-day delivery. We hold our vendors to the same standards our clients hold us to.

What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?

Compliance requirements in our Education space changed and the deadline was set by our regulator, not by us. The UI/UX Design work required was specialist enough that pulling our internal team off the product roadmap to do it was not an option.

What services did the company provide for your project?

The stated scope was UI/UX Design delivery. In practice they also contributed to product strategy conversations, flagged gaps in our requirements, and produced integration documentation that our partner vendors later told us was unusually thorough.

Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?

We shortlisted five vendors. Two were eliminated immediately based on the technical proposals. Of the remaining three, this team's UI/UX Design approach was the most specific and evidenced — actual Education reference cases, not generic slides. The reference calls confirmed what the proposal described.

How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?

Well. They pushed back on areas where our requirements were vague or poorly thought through and helped us arrive at something more considered. That consultative approach during discovery is not universal and it made a real difference to the quality of what was built.

How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?

Very strong on the async side, which mattered given the time difference between Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and the delivery team. Written updates were specific and consistent, decisions got responses the same day, and nothing was dropped across a five-month engagement. That discipline is harder than it looks.

Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?

Yes on both. There was one sprint where a third-party API dependency introduced a one-week slip. They flagged it three weeks before it became critical, presented two options, and we agreed on one that recovered the timeline within the same sprint. That kind of foresight is the difference between good and average project management.

What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?

What did you like most about working with this company?

Team continuity. The engineers who ran the discovery sessions built the system. That consistency over a five-month engagement is valuable in ways that are hard to articulate until you have worked on projects where it was absent. Every conversation built on the previous ones.

Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?

Yes, with the caveat that they are not the cheapest option and they are selective about what they take on. If price is the primary criterion there are alternatives. If you want a UI/UX Design partner in the Education space who will actually deliver against a serious brief, this is the team.
