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.

Holt Group Inc.'s Review Sourced from Google
Watson has been a key strategic partner for us on the creative and brand side since the beginning. We've worked with various members across the team and every member of their staff brings excellence and authentic passion to what they do. They have consistently delivered an end product that excites our customers, adding special creative touches along the way so that the results really sing. The way they're able to translate our vision and mission into deliverables across each project has been a weight off our shoulders. Not every creative agency is able to understand the nuances of our industry and we've been so impressed with the time team Watson has taken to really get to know our industry in homebuilding. We've worked with Watson on deliverables such as high level creative direction, but also getting into the nitty gritty of developing content around our warranty program. This was a huge task and they matched us with exactly the right team members to bring it to life who truly cared about getting it right. They're great friends as much as they are our business partners. We highly recommend partnering with Watson Creative.

S Nash's Review Sourced from Google
When we engaged Watson to help us rebrand, we knew it was going to be a challenging process. We had a long-standing reputation as a respected law firm in Portland, but we wanted our brand to reflect our unique culture and the innovative approach we bring to our clients. Watson's team was thorough and thoughtful throughout the entire process, from primary research interviews with our team to the final custom, hand-drawn identity system. The end result was a brand that not only represents who we are as a firm but also sets us apart from our competitors. We continue to receive compliments on our branding years later, and we credit Watson for helping us achieve that success.

Why should I hire trustworthy iOS app developers?
These are the top three reasons to hire an iPhone app development company:
1. Keep sensitive data secure
Partnering with a professional iPhone app development company will ensure the highest level of security for your app and keep your data safe from external threats.
2. Enhance customer experience
iOS app developers can help increase user engagement and retention by:
Using push notifications properly

Leveraging machine learning (ML) for recommendations
3. Generate higher app revenue

Follow these steps when hiring a reliable iPhone app developer:
Define your requirements and assess your budget. This is also where you decide on whether you need a native or a hybrid application.
Research and compare the top iOS app development companies.
Read and verify client reviews, ratings, and recommendations. You can also ask your network about the companies you've researched.
Look at their portfolios and check for projects within your domain. Evaluate the stages of their design process: wireframing, concepts, storyboards, prototyping, and others.
Ask about their approach to UI/UX design. Examine their development process, methodologies, tools, iOS software development kit (SDK), and proficiency in Swift and Objective-C programming languages, frameworks, and databases.
Check whether they provide a full cycle of iOS app development services, including research and market analysis, API development and integration, testing, and post-release support and maintenance.
Select up to five candidates from your list. Send them a request for proposal (RFP) and ask for price estimates with a breakdown.
Receive and review proposals. Arrange interviews to get to know the teams that developed the proposals.
Decide based on your evaluations, and examine the contract before entering into an agreement.
