      Software Development Review from Claus-Peter Mueller

      We have engaged Infinum to develop an app that would digitalise our leasing process. From creating the initial offer through the necessary financing application and client identification to the final signature – all the steps required to successfully lease a vehicle or other object can be performed in-app, freeing the users of friction and having to deal with tedious paperwork. The app itself in the background has 30+ integrations, while keeping a seamless and quick to follow process on the front for our users. That application is in production and Infinum is responsible for maintaining it and further improving. After the initial development, we have additionally expanded our scope from vehicles to other equipment. They have also developed a Leasing widget, product which enables quick financing model while purchasing a vehicle online on car seller marketplace pages. At this moment, we are still in partnership with Infinum, and their engagement is mainly focused on localising the app to other countries and supporting us in our further business expansion. The work performed was done in Ruby on Rails and React technology, with support of other services.

      Web Design Review from Anonymous

      Thanks to Infinum's website refresh, the client has seen an almost 100% improvement in their website's conversion rates. The team excels at project management, using the client's own proprietary tool and also Figma very well. Their proficiency in design, delivery, and client relations stands out.

      Web Design Review from Patrice Archer

      They developed a SaaS web platform with smart scheduling and automation tools for us at and built the platform's front- and backend and integrated a custom analytics dashboard and calendar integrations. But to be honest what impressed us most was how deeply they engaged with our vision. They didn't just write code they challenged assumptions, proposed better workflows, and contributed as if they were part of our internal product team. Their ability to think strategically and focus on user experience made them feel more like tech partners than a typical outsourced vendor.

      Igor Caleta-Car's Review Sourced from Google

      I worked at Decode for about a year, and during that time I had the chance to meet many wonderful colleagues who helped me grow professionally and learn new skills. Because of the nature of my role, I also had the chance to collaborate with clients across Europe, the USA, and the Middle East, and even visit some of them in person. The team I worked with was everything you could hope for - driven, proactive, and always willing to jump in and help. The development teams I was part of were well-balanced in both skills and personalities, led by highly experienced engineers who lead by example. Beyond the projects themselves, the company culture stands out. People are friendly, and the leadership is focused on sustainable growth while supporting employees development. Decode isn’t afraid to promote talent and encourage people to step outside their comfort zones in order to grow. The office is also in one of the best business neighborhoods in Croatia, with plenty of variety for employees nearby. Overall, I highly recommend Decode as a great place to work!

      Working with DECODE has been a great experience so far! Their team is skilled, flexible, and always open to collaboration, which makes the process smooth and enjoyable. Their modern design approach aligns well with our vision, and they show a real commitment to delivering a strong final product. What we particularly appreciate is their willingness to engage and adapt as the project evolves. While some aspects require additional clarification along the way, they are always receptive to feedback and ready to adjust accordingly. The overall working atmosphere is positive and professional, making them a great partner to work with. Looking forward to the second half of our project!

      The training was very good. The instructor did an excellent job of reiterating talking points with real life experiences and stories from the IT industry.

      Intertech did an excellent job with the Scrum Master Certification Course. The course/training itself was very good and informative. Very interactive and the instructor, Lonnie, was amazing. She had so many real life experiences to share as related to scrum. The Intertech facility and the staff were wonderful. The people who worked there were helpful and friendly and the facility worked well to hold the training. It was a great experience and I would recommend Intertech for training and certification courses.

      Excellent interaction from the Intertech staff from initial arrival and throughout the classroom sessions. I found the instructor to be knowledgeable on the course material for Java 8. He kept the class at a reasonable pace based on the various skill levels and background of the attendees. The coursework included well prepared materials, discussion, and awareness of the goals of attendees. For example, the instructor highlighted pertinent areas of the material knowing several attendees were candidates for taking a certification test. Additionally there was an option available to attend this class remotely via Webex. While I opted for classroom attendance it's great to know this capability exists for future reference. This was, for me, an exceptional training experience. I highly recommend including Intertech as a option for training needs.
