      4.7★
      Software Development Review from Jake Mackay

      For quite a long time we took orders by e-mail or personally from customers. It took a lot of time, as we either made layouts by hand or printed them according to the vague requirements of clients. All these difficulties have pushed us to take a step towards the digital transformation of our business. The team of Five Jars has developed a frontend and backend for our web tool to create print layouts. The team is not afraid to take on difficult tasks!

      Responsive Review from Anthony North

      I was looking for companies that had experience with large educational platforms. There are some really big players in the eLearning market in Five Jars' portfolio, so I trusted their development experience. After all our platform has become more attractive to users. Over the past year, we have noticed a significant increase in daily visits, so much so that we even had to change hosting. Five Jars helped us with that too!

      Small Business Review from Colin Knox

      I'm satisfied with the MVP we've done with the Five Jars team. I am currently looking for an investor for this project. I love working with professionals when I don't have to dive into a whole area that I don't know. Working with the Five Jars was a real partnership where the other side fulfilled their obligations without my constant checks.

      Salesforce Review from Rishi Kumar

      I had the opportunity to work with Accenture on implementing Salesforce with ServiceMax. Their expertise and dedication were impressive. Accenture's work on implementing Salesforce and the ServiceMax managed package was invaluable, significantly benefiting our organization's operations and efficiency. However, one area for improvement would be the documentation process. It was challenging to access comprehensive documentation, which slowed down certain aspects of our project. Nonetheless, I recommend Accenture as their talented team delivers exceptional results.
