Proglia Reviews & Testimonials
Jonathan Campau
CEO/Founder at Luxuri
5.0★
Blockchain Review from Jonathan Campau
As the founder and CEO of Luxuri, one of the top chains of luxury hotels in the US, I had the honor of working with Proglia to deploy a unique blockchain solution that would improve our visitor experience and expedite our business processes. We engaged Proglia to upgrade our blockchain-based payment processing, build a system to monitor and incentivize visitor feedback, and design a transparent and safe loyalty rewards program.
Proglia showed right away that they had a thorough understanding of both blockchain technology and the hotel sector. They provided a customized blockchain platform that worked in unison with our current setup. Guests may now easily earn, track, and redeem points through the loyalty rewards system, increasing their level of satisfaction and participation. Our transactions are now quicker and more secure thanks to the blockchain payment gateway, which also lowers the risk of fraud. Furthermore, guests are rewarded for their reviews by the feedback tracking system, which provides us with insightful information to enhance our offerings.
Proglia's ability to adapt the solution to Luxuri's luxury brand requirements was what most struck me about them. They developed a system that improved the visitor experience without interfering with our business processes. Our guests benefited from enhanced security and customization without even realizing the behind the scenes improvements because to the seamless implementation of the technology.
Proglia's team demonstrated outstanding communication and project management throughout the project. They were very attentive to our demands, met deadlines, and offered professional advice as needed. At every stage, we felt well informed and supported.
Even though the solution has been quite successful, we would have liked to see even more personalization in the loyalty points system so that awards could be better tailored to the tastes of each individual guest.

Healthcare Review from Dr. Moiz Ali Dar
As the project lead for Rx Pharmacy, I engaged Proglia to tackle two critical challenges: unifying our multi-branch web operations and developing an integrated payroll-attendance system for staff. Their work wasnt just efficient it was transformative. From day one, Proglia demonstrated deep technical expertise and sector-specific insight. They seamlessly integrated our pharmacy branches into a centralized web platform, enabling real-time inventory tracking, prescription synchronization, and branch-to-branch data sharing eliminating the silos that once hampered our operations.
But where Proglia truly excelled was their custom payroll-attendance solution. They engineered a system that automatically linked staff clock-ins/outs to payroll calculations with flawless accuracy, eliminating manual errors and saving our HR team hours of work. The interface was intuitive, scalable across 100+ employees, and compliant with health regulations,all while integrating smoothly with our existing infrastructure.
What impressed us most was their proactive problem-solving. When we faced unexpected edge cases in overtime calculations during testing, their team refined the algorithm overnight. Post-launch support was equally responsive; minor queries were resolved within hours. Their commitment to understanding our pharmacys workflow ensured every feature from prescription management to payroll reports aligned with our daily realities.
While no project is without minor hiccups (we initially wished for more granular payroll customization), Proglia listened and implemented updates in the next sprint. Their agility and ownership turned a functional tool into a game-changer for our operational efficiency.

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Product Design Firms
What services do product design companies offer?
They offer a broad, end-to-end set of services that combine strategy, engineering, and user experience to bring physical and digital products to market faster and with lower risk.
Their key services include:
Product strategy and discovery: Accounting for over 39% of revenue share in 2023, this concerns defining what product to build and why, based on market demand, business goals, and user needs. It includes market research, product positioning, concept validation, and early-stage product development planning.
UX research and user experience (UX Design): Understanding user behavior and designing experiences that are intuitive and efficient, relying on UX research, usability testing, journey mapping, and behavior analysis for digital products and services.
Industrial design: Designing physical products with a focus on usability, aesthetics, and manufacturability. It includes form development, ergonomics, materials selection, and collaboration with industrial designers.
Engineering and technical design: Translating design concepts into functional, manufacturable solutions using engineering principles, including mechanical engineering, system architecture, feasibility analysis, and design for manufacturing.
CAD modeling and prototyping: Product designers create digital and physical models to test, refine, and validate product concepts before production.
Branding, visual, and experience design: Aligning the product with a cohesive brand identity and consistent user experience across all touchpoints, while relying on graphic design, packaging, and integration with digital marketing and web development.
Product launch, optimization, and growth: Supporting the product after design to ensure successful launch and continuous improvement.
How much do product design services cost?
The cost of hiring product design companies varies widely depending on scope, complexity, and the level of expertise.
Product design firms typically charge $100-$450 per hour for full-service work that includes UX design, engineering, and product development.
Project-based pricing:
Small projects (e.g., concept design, UX audit): $5,000-$15,000
Mid-size projects, such as UX/UI design for a mobile app or web platform: $30,000-$100,000
End-to-end product development: $100,000+
What's the difference between product design, industrial design, and UX design?
The best product design agencies combine all three into a collaborative approach, ensuring your product is functional, manufacturable, intuitive, and competitive in the market.

Are there hidden costs I should be aware of when hiring product designers?
Yes, you may expect some additional or hidden costs, although most reputable product design companies will present clear pricing.
According to the Project Management Institute, projects with unclear requirements are 2-3 times more likely to exceed budget and timelines.
Cost category
Estimated cost range
Scope creep and extra iterations

Third-party tools and integrations
$500-$5,000+ per project

Manufacturing preparation
$10,000-$100,000+
The best designers with proven expertise will be transparent about these factors and help you plan for the true cost of product design, instead of just the initial estimate.
What should I look for in a product design firm's portfolio?
When evaluating an agency portfolio, you're assessing whether the team can deliver measurable business outcomes, handle complexity, and align with your product goals.
Therefore, look for the following:
Proven business impact: Look for case studies that show measurable results. A strong case study might show a 30-50% increase in conversion rates after UX redesign or a 20% reduction in churn for a SaaS product.
End-to-end product design process: Top product designers should demonstrate a complete design process, starting from research, through ideation, prototyping, and testing, to launch.
Depth in UX research and user-centered design: A strong portfolio should show how the team understands user needs. High-quality projects often include 5-10 user interviews per testinground, which is standard for identifying most usability issues.
Experience with similar product types or industries: An agency with 3-5 similar projects in your space is more likely to understand constraints and speed up delivery.
Technical capability and engineering integration: A strong portfolio should show evidence of CAD modeling, prototyping, or engineering work, integration with mechanical engineering or development teams.
Complexity and problem-solving ability: A renowned product design studio showcases how it solves complex challenges. Projects involving multiple user roles or workflows indicate higher capability.
How do product design companies measure success?
They measure success based on real business impact, user experience, and product performance:
User experience (UX design) performance Measured through usability metrics like task success rate, time-on-task, and user satisfaction. Better UX can improve task completion rates by up to 80%, according to Nielsen Norman Group.
Conversion and revenue growth Design improvements are tracked through conversion rates, sales, and funnel performance. Small UX changes can increase conversions by 10–25%, according to Forrester.
User engagement and retention Active users, session duration, and churn rate show how well the product meets user needs. PwC reports that UX improvements can boost retention by up to 30%.
Time-to-market and efficiency A strong design process reduces delays and rework. Companies with mature design practices can cut development time by up to 50%, according to McKinsey.
Product adoption and market fit Success is measured by how quickly users adopt the product and how often key features are used.
Return on investment (ROI) Design is evaluated based on revenue growth and cost savings. Design-led companies achieve 32% higher revenue growth and 56% higher shareholder returns, according to McKinsey.
