    They understand our agile environment and provides services we haven`t found with other companies
    Project Type: Translation Services

    They provide consulting services for a healthcare service provider. Sidebench contributed their expertise to a comprehensive mobile application to make sure it would pass Apple Store requirements. Thanks to Sidebench`s input, the application launched on the Apple Store after the first submission. Sidebench`s response times were quick, and they were willing to accommodate a unique working arrangement. The relationship that we had was probably unique; most companies would push to do the development themselves. We only needed Sidebench`s know-how, and they were willing to accommodate us.

    Sidebench has great attention to detail. Young people who have used the app so far have been impressed by it. Sidebench has been great in ensuring updates to the app are pushed out in a timely manner so users have the best experience possible. Sidebench worked closely with PHE to mitigate delay as much as possible. Once development was impacted by COVID, Sidebench took on the additional cost to ensure the delay would be minimal.
