Jutamas Puengpinit Ecommerce Specialist Health & Beauty at Mandom Corporation (Thailand) Limited
5.0★
eCommerce Development Review from Jutamas Puengpinit
We engaged SoftLoft, Inc. to enhance our e-commerce platform, which is critical for delivering our modular IoT solutions efficiently across emerging markets. As Mandom Corporation (Thailand) Limited operates in a fast-paced production and tech environment, we needed a development team that could understand both our industry-specific needs and the technical depth required to support our operations. Our goal was to refine our platform's functionality, improve system stability, and enable easier configuration and ordering of IoT devices for clients.SoftLoft delivered far beyond our expectations. Their team, consisting of a Business Analyst, four Magento developers, and two testers, approached the project with remarkable professionalism. From the outset, the Business Analyst played a pivotal role in capturing our requirements in detail and transforming them into clearly defined tasks. This laid a strong foundation for the developers to implement complex features with precision, and for the QA team to conduct thorough, issue-free testing.The project involved building a new interface for configuring device packages, optimizing backend operations for better order management, and delivering detailed documentation to support ongoing maintenance. Every deliverable was executed with care, on time, and with full transparency.What stood out most was SoftLofts commitment to quality and their responsiveness. Communication was smooth and proactive throughout the project. Their attention to detail, flexibility in accommodating adjustments, and clear documentation ensured a seamless experience for our team. The improvements they implemented significantly reduced internal friction and enhanced client satisfaction.Our experience with SoftLoft was outstanding. They brought structure, clarity, and excellence to every phase of the project. We would highly recommend them to any business seeking a reliable and capable development partner for e-commerce solutions.
Lev Peysekhman Chief Operating Officer at Lane Health

eCommerce Development Review from Lev Peysekhman
I had the pleasure of working with this development team on launching an eCommerce store for our healthcare retail business in Thailand. The project was complex building a Magento-based platform integrating over 10 different systems, including product and order management, plus financial tools. They also developed some really smart features, like a dynamic questionnaire that recommends vitamins based on user input, and a secure portal for doctors to manage prescription orders.What impressed me most was their professionalism and adaptability. We had a lot of stakeholders with varying needs, tight deadlines, and even changing regulations that required quick adjustments. Despite all this, the team remained agile, communicated clearly, and delivered exactly what was promised on time.Their technical expertise ensured seamless integration across all systems, which made the entire operation much smoother. Thanks to their work, we launched a fully functional store that improved customer experience and compliance with healthcare regulations. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a dependable, skilled partner for complex eCommerce projects.

eCommerce Development Review from Rob Duxter
I'm more than satisfied in my experiences with Soft Loft. I've worked with them for a few years now, on several projects from eCommerce sites (Magento, Shopify, custom) and even apps and information architecture requirements from tech stack evaluation/selection to DNS setup and management. Every team member I've engaged with from their Executives, to Business Analysts to Project Managers, QA and Developers or Information Architects .... total Pros. Whether a small project under $20k or large over $200k - the quality and professionalism is rock solid. Thank you Soft Loft. Keep it up!!

Reviews verified by DesignRush and sourced from the agency's profile View All Reviews
Simple apps with basic features may cost $5,000 to $20,000Â
Mid-level apps with integrations cost $20,000 to $75,000Â
Complex apps with advanced functionality can exceed $75,000 to $200,000Â
Costs come from several stages of the build process:Â
UI/UX design: $2,000 to $15,000Â Wireframes, user flows, interface design, and interaction design.Â
Frontend development: $5,000 to $50,000+Â Android interface, screens, user interactions, and device optimization.Â
Backend development: $5,000 to $60,000+Â Servers, databases, APIs, authentication systems, and integrations.Â
Testing and QA: $2,000 to $15,000Â Device testing, bug fixing, performance testing, and security checks.Â
Project management: $1,000 to $10,000Â Planning, coordination, and delivery oversight.Â
Maintenance after launch: 15% to 20% of the original development cost per year.Â
What factors determine the final price?
The final cost depends mainly on app complexity, design quality, features, development team location, and ongoing maintenance.Â
App complexity: Basic apps cost less. Apps with payments, real-time features, or large databases cost more.Â
Design and UX quality: Custom UI, animations, and advanced interaction design increase development time and cost.Â
Features and integrations: APIs, payment systems, geolocation, and third-party services add development work.Â
Development team location: Android app development companies in North America charge the most. Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia usually cost less.Â
Maintenance and updates: Ongoing support, bug fixes, and OS updates typically cost 15 to 20% of the original development cost each year.Â
Simple apps: 1 to 3 months Basic features and minimal backend.Â
Medium-complexity apps: 3 to 6 months User accounts, APIs, integrations, and databases.Â
Complex apps: 6 to 12+ months Real-time features, payments, advanced security, and large systems.Â
How often should an Android app be updated and why?
Top Android app development companies update apps every 1 to 3 months, with faster updates for bug fixes, security issues, or urgent performance problems.Â
Regular updates keep the app stable. They fix bugs, improve speed, and reduce crashes.Â
Security updates protect users. Apps need patches when new risks or vulnerabilities appear.Â
OS updates require compatibility fixes. Android changes over time, so apps need updates to keep working properly on new devices and versions.Â
Feature updates keep the app competitive. New features and UX improvements help retain users and meet changing expectations.Â
Too few updates can hurt retention. An outdated app can feel broken, slow, or abandoned.Â
Do Android app developers handle app store publishing?
Yes. Most Android app developers handle Google Play Store publishing as part of the development or launch process.Â
They typically prepare the app build, configure the Google Play Console, upload the Android Package Kit (APK) or Android App Bundle (AAB), add store assets such as screenshots and descriptions, and submit the app for review. Many companies also manage updates, version releases, and compliance requirements after launch.Â
