      Software Development Review from Michael S.

      We selected Azumo to develop our software. We transitioned from another development company, so Azumo was initially responsible for migrating our existing code and environments. We are currently still working with Azumo as our nearshore software development team on adding new items to our software.

      Azumo helped us migrate our existing UIs into a new framework, creating reusable components and the infrastructure needed for future development. The developer they assigned became a seamless part of our team, always punctual, responsive, and a great fit overall.

      Web Development Review from Julia Arhangelskaya

      Collaborating with TRIARE company for the design and development of our online store was an exceptionally positive experience. Their streamlined processes and efficient project management ensured that deadlines were consistently met, and the project progressed smoothly. Communication was excellent throughout, with their team readily available to address any questions or concerns. They not only revamped our website's design but also developed it with precision and creativity. Their attention to detail and proactive approach to problem-solving were evident at every stage of the project. I definitely can recommend TRIARE!

      Mobile App Development Review from Jonathan Fruitman

      We thought that their proposed milestones were ambitious. I remember being pleasantly surprised after the first demo. Perhaps based on previous experience, my expectations were too low, but the team really did deliver on a consistent basis.

      Software Development Review from David Williamson

      We brought Designli in to turn our construction management software idea into a clickable MVP prototype, complete with designed screens and user stories showing how the platform will work. They delivered on time and beyond what we expected. People in the construction industry who tried it were impressed by how simple and easy to use it is, even though the product behind it is complex. Communication was quick and clear, and the project was well managed throughout.

      Mobile App Development Review from John Laporte

      Designli helped us define the requirements, features, and user experience for an app for our motorcycle organization. They produced technical documentation and a clickable prototype covering navigation, member tools, and safety features. They were responsive, delivered on time every time, and turned our broad concepts into something people could actually click through. The prototype got our stakeholders aligned, earned internal approval, and set us up for engineering, and working out design questions early should save us rework later.

      Mobile App Development Review from Brandi Heffner

      Designli built our SaaS product from scratch, using AI to speed up development, with AWS and Cloudflare in the stack, and they also handle our hosting and maintenance. We had a working MVP in just 30 days and have kept adding features since. In the first 60 days they went beyond what we expected, largely because they took the time to really learn our business and our market. Coordination through Basecamp and Google Meet has kept everything organized.
