      Our company aimed to launch a trading platform but struggled with security planning and system performance. Debut Infotech supported us with crypto exchange development services using Node.js, blockchain integration, and secure wallet APIs. Their solution helped us deploy a stable exchange environment with improved transaction handling.

      Blunt David's Review Sourced from Google

      I had the pleasure of working with Debut Infotech for DeFi development, and I am extremely satisfied with their expertise and service. Their team utilized a comprehensive suite of tools, including smart contract generators, DeFi protocol integrators, and liquidity pool management tools, all of which streamlined the development process. They not only helped us build secure and scalable decentralized finance solutions, but also provided automated yield farming and staking platforms that significantly boosted user engagement. Their focus on security, with built-in auditing tools, gave me confidence throughout the project. I highly recommend Debut Infotech to anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and innovative DeFi development.

      Software Development Review from Jacques Antikadjian

      Unico Connect has been an exceptional development partner in helping us build PLCY, our AI governance and runtime policy-enforcement platform. From the beginning, their team took the time to understand not only what we wanted to build, but also the security architecture, governance requirements, workflows, and enterprise use cases behind the product. What impressed me most was their ability to take our security designs and technical workflows and translate them into a functional, scalable platform. PLCY requires much more than traditional software development it involves AI governance, policy enforcement, data protection, model and regional routing, auditability, and enterprise-grade security controls. UnicoConnect approached these requirements thoughtfully and worked closely with us to turn complex concepts into a real product. Their team has been responsive, collaborative, technically capable, and willing to work through difficult architectural and product challenges with us. They have treated the engagement like a true partnership rather than simply a development project. As a founder, it is extremely valuable to have a technology partner that understands the vision while also being able to execute on the details. Unico Connect has played an important role in helping bring PLCY from architecture and security designs into a working AI governance platform. I would highly recommend UnicoConnect to companies building sophisticated SaaS, AI, security, or enterprise software products.

      Software Development Review from Daniel Gonsenhauser

      Unico built our Order Management System across two operating companies and integrated it with Bringg for dispatch. The hard part wasn't the software, it was the business logic we run on-demand, multi-stop, scheduled contract, and distribution work across multiple markets, and the pricing exceptions that used to live in our people's heads are now configured in the system. Order intake, dispatch, commissions and billing are one flow instead of three, and our team reviews work rather than reconstructing it. What set Unico apart was their willingness to learn how a courier and freight business actually operates instead of fitting us to a template. We worked with a dedicated team on the Unico side - a project lead, developers, and QA with direct access throughout rather than everything routed through an account manager. We've engaged them for phase two.

      Our website was established and redesigned by Brightlab, and it receives a lot of traffic. Our interaction with Brightlab team was exceptional. They were dependable, communicative, and responsive. They were really easy to work with and quickly grasped what I was striving for. Additionally, there weren't many mistakes to fix after development. Incredibly capable and productive team!

      Markovate are passionate about building products for startups helping to shape ideas into reality. They have been more than a developer, a true partner to us, even supporting with fundraising. Equally, they built with minimal reliance, considering easy adoption by our developers when selecting a tech stack.

      it was such a pleasure working with App Founders and just how easy and professional they were. I quickly realized how the industry is full of thirsty, needy bots and scammers I’m trying to get your attention, but tons of unsolicited phone calls and texts. Dealing with these guys was a breath of fresh and definitely showed up in value above all the rest.

      1 2's Review Sourced from Google

      We hired flexsin technologies to build software for us in July 2022. They agreed to sign NDAs and all relevant paperwork. They prepared the NDA as they preferred it and sent it to us for review and signature. We reviewed the NDA and changed the Jurisdiction to UK and sent it back to them for a signature which they delayed in signing up to date. After they reviewed everything, they gave us an estimation of USD 17,000. They sent us a contract with upper price cap stating that any extra activities and costs incurred above the agreed upper price cap will be their responsibility and we as the client will have to pay nothing extra. They estimated the project will take 12-14 weeks. They started the project and assured us the NDA and Contract is getting sorted and they will send it over as soon as. Long story short flexsin Technology never honoured the contract and the price cap as the price started increasing past the price cap. It is now been 8 months since they started the project and they have not signed the NDA nor the Contract as agreed. We noticed they misspelt the names on the NDA and Contract. We asked them to rectify the spelling mistakes and they have refused asking us to Change the NDA that they wrote themselves to meet their interests. They are asking us to include on the NDA that UPwork will resolve disputes in relation to incorrect spellings on the paperwork and the NDA as if they are planning to make more mistakes. Up work is just a platform that brings developers and clients together, UPwork does not resolve spelling mistakes and unsigned paperwork. UPwork is NOT developing our software for us, we did NOT share the software information with UPwork, we shared information with Flexsins Technologies and above all Up work did NOT misspell or fail to sign the NDA or Contract, that was Flexsins Technologies mistakes to fix and NOT UPwork mistakes to fix. They are now asking to write another contract for more money probably with another price cap just to lure. They have agreed to send the assets back to us immediately.

      I have had a great experience with Flexsin. My small business is a bit of a niche (horse racing) but the team at Flexsin worked very hard to understand the nuances. Very impressive breadth of skills on the team. The support work they do for my small business on a monthly retainer has been good, as has their project work on a mobile app.

      I've been with Flexsin for 3 years now, and it's a great place to work. Talented technical staff and good management. After years of providing IT staffing solutions for US based companies with local personnel, I'm now able to save our clients a LOT of money by using the resources of our talented team of resources at our offshore development center instead.
