Workstream 1: research and product strategyWorkstream 2: ETP release Technology : Vendor use Flutter framework, which allows one programming language and one codebase to create two different apps (for iOS and Android). Clearly defined roles and responsibilities, communication is clearly and respectfully, very effective project methodology, trying to understand every time how their activities fits into mission of Modra zavarovalnica, respect each member of team, etc.
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.
Web Design Review from Anonymous
Thanks to Infinum's website refresh, the client has seen an almost 100% improvement in their website's conversion rates. The team excels at project management, using the client's own proprietary tool and also Figma very well. Their proficiency in design, delivery, and client relations stands out.

WooCommerce Review from Amanda Viviano
We hired Qolos to build our local florist shop's website on WordPress and WooCommerce, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the start, they took the time to understand our business and created a site that's not only beautiful but easy for our customers to browse and shop.The WooCommerce setup was seamless, our online ordering works exactly the way we needed it to. But what really sets Qolos apart is their ongoing monthly maintenance. We never have to worry about updates, security, or technical issues because they stay on top of everything. Any time we've had a question or a small change request, they've been responsive and professional.As a small local business, it means a lot to work with a team that genuinely cares about keeping our site running smoothly. Qolos has been a true partner, not just a vendor. Highly recommend them to any local business looking for reliable web design and maintenance!
Web Development Review from Sanjay Singh
I kept getting negative reviews about my app for technical glitches, heating issues, functionality, loading time, crashing, and more bugs. So, I reached out to QOLOS after going through 2-3 renowned review platforms. I explained my app issue to the team, and they did tremendous work with their mobile testing solutions. Also, I wanted to build a website for my app. They created a feature-rich and seamless website.
Shopify Review from Sarah Nesheim
Working with QOLOS was the best decision I have made in regards to scaling my business. They are professional, so creative, they communicate every step of the way and their pricing is fair for the highest quality work. The designer of our logo and website did it well and I am so impressed and proud of the final product! the designer listened and knew exactly what I wanted which made the process so simple. Seriously could not recommend QOLOS more!

Web Design Review from Patrice Archer
They developed a SaaS web platform with smart scheduling and automation tools for us at and built the platform's front- and backend and integrated a custom analytics dashboard and calendar integrations. But to be honest what impressed us most was how deeply they engaged with our vision. They didn't just write code they challenged assumptions, proposed better workflows, and contributed as if they were part of our internal product team. Their ability to think strategically and focus on user experience made them feel more like tech partners than a typical outsourced vendor.

Startups Software Development Review from Justin Collins
Our first engagement with Twenty Ideas was accurately scoped and allocated from day one, and that was impressive. Being on time and budget while exceeding expectations seems impossible for many vendors, but with Twenty Ideas, there were zero issues. They anticipated our needs and presented clear options when necessary.
Mobile App Development Review from Rachel Efron
The most impressive thing was the collaboration we established. I had been creating this app by myself for so long, and all of a sudden, I had a whole team of thought partners. Twenty Ideas really got in there with me, learned what I was trying to make, and collaborated with me on it. It was an extremely rewarding experience, and we're thrilled with the app!
Jana DiSanti's Review Sourced from Google
I started working with Twenty Ideas in a part-time consulting capacity, but I became so taken with the team’s passion, mission, and supportive culture, that I ended up applying for a full-time position. I’ve been with the team for three and a half years now, and it’s given opened doors to expand my skill set; work with smart, kind, and dedicated people, every day; and work with clients who truly care about making a positive impact, to create life-changing solutions together. It’s a great place to work!

Elliot Jacobs's Review Sourced from Google
We run a SaaS platform for PR reporting. It’s our first time working with an external development team after years of in-house. We made the shift to get more flexibility and to have dedicated capacity for building out a suite of new features on top of our product.The work is R&D by nature, so specs change, and priorities shift. Clockwise Software has always been flexible about that and scaled up when we needed more people involved. What else stood out is the team's experience. Our codebase spans multiple services with a fair amount of legacy code. They have people who've clearly worked across different codebases before, and it showed in how quickly they got productive.Our engagement is ongoing. We launched the new features, ran a beta, and opened it up to the full market. ARPC has increased since launch, a clear sign to us that the work landed well with customers.
Lukas Nchimbi's Review Sourced from Google
Hired them to build an AI feature on top of our internal system, basically an assistant so our team could ask questions and get info from our data instead of digging through it manually. Took about 8 weeks. Works exactly how we needed it to. Their team was upfront about the limitations early, which I actually respected.

Software Development Review from Harshal Chhajed
They have highly skilled support staff for faster resolution which leads to customer satisfaction. Also, it has many features including IoT and blockchain apart from regular software development. If there are any changes in the scope of the project at a later stage, it can prove quite costly and also difficult to accommodate last-minute client-side scripting changes. They are versatile, cost-effective, and offer quick customer support. They offer a very customized software development tool where business needs can be addressed. It is very cost-optimized and hence can help generate good returns for business investment.

Igor Caleta-Car's Review Sourced from Google
I worked at Decode for about a year, and during that time I had the chance to meet many wonderful colleagues who helped me grow professionally and learn new skills. Because of the nature of my role, I also had the chance to collaborate with clients across Europe, the USA, and the Middle East, and even visit some of them in person.The team I worked with was everything you could hope for - driven, proactive, and always willing to jump in and help. The development teams I was part of were well-balanced in both skills and personalities, led by highly experienced engineers who lead by example.Beyond the projects themselves, the company culture stands out. People are friendly, and the leadership is focused on sustainable growth while supporting employees development. Decode isn’t afraid to promote talent and encourage people to step outside their comfort zones in order to grow.The office is also in one of the best business neighborhoods in Croatia, with plenty of variety for employees nearby.Overall, I highly recommend Decode as a great place to work!

Their modern design approach aligns well with our vision, and they show a real commitment to delivering a strong final product.What we particularly appreciate is their willingness to engage and adapt as the project evolves. While some aspects require additional clarification along the way, they are always receptive to feedback and ready to adjust accordingly. The overall working atmosphere is positive and professional, making them a great partner to work with. Looking forward to the second half of our project!

They took the time to analyze our workflows and proposed a solution that was both practical and future-ready. Their structured approach gave us confidence in their capabilities.The final software solution was reliable, efficient, and perfectly aligned with our needs.

We are extremely satisfied with the outcome and would highly recommend their services as a trusted IT services and software development company in India.

Everything You Need to Know Before Hiring a Custom Offshore Software Development Company
What can offshore software development companies do for your business?
An offshore software development company can help expand your business's technology capacity without the cost of building every capability in-house. For many businesses, they offer three main advantages:
Cost efficiency
Many companies use an offshore partner to reduce development and staffing costs while maintaining delivery momentum. As a result, they can scale teams more flexibly, fund innovation initiatives, and explore newer technologies such as AI without significantly increasing internal overhead.
According to an Accelerance study, 70% of businesses report that cost reduction is a primary reason for outsourcing IT, with many experiencing 40%-70% in cost savings through offshore software development companies.
Access to specialized talent
Technical hiring remains difficult across many markets. ManpowerGroup reports that IT is among the hardest-hit sectors for talent shortages, with 75% of IT employers struggling to fill roles.
As a result, offshore development teams can help businesses tap into broader talent pools, especially for in-demand capabilities that are difficult to fill locally.
Resource efficiency
Offshore teams can support internal staff by taking on defined projects, product builds, ongoing development work, or routine technical support. In doing so, internal teams can focus on strategic priorities and security-sensitive work.
Deloitte's Global Outsourcing Survey highlights that businesses increasingly view offshore partners as strategic contributors. In fact, some of the top reasons that they outsource include:
- Meeting increasing customer demands (35%)
- Improving quality and performance (33%)
- Aligning delivery more closely with business strategy (27%)
How long does it take to build custom software with an offshore development company?
Building custom software takes about 3-18 months with an offshore development company. The actual timeline will depend on your technical requirements, priority features and functions, quality assurance and security needs, and feedback process.
Below is an estimated timeline:
| Phase | What to Expect |
| Product discovery and planning (4-8 weeks) | Requirements gathering, tech stack selection, user research, project milestones, and concept validation |
Software design | UI/UX design, technical architecture, wireframing, prototype development, and end-user testing |
| Software engineering (8-40 weeks) | Building the front and back end of the product, including the server-side logic, database management, and systems integration |
| Testing and QA (3-8 weeks) | Performing usability, regression, functional, security, integration, and other relevant tests to ensure the software meets project and industry standards |
| Deployment (1-3 weeks) | Preparing the software for go-live rollout, such as configuring hosting environments |
How to choose the best software development company for your business?
To choose the best software development company for your business, evaluate their expertise, track record, and markers of credibility. Here are some steps to guide you:
- Specify your project requirements, including core features and functions, target users, required platforms and system integrations, security and compliance needs, business goals, performance indicators, and acceptance criteria.
- Research potential regions and consider their software development capabilities, time zone and cultural compatibility, government/political stability, and talent pool quality.
- Shortlist the top providers that have showcased proven expertise in your industry, software type, and specific requirements through their case studies that display their measurable business impact. Look also for certifications, like ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and HIPAA or PCI-DSS readiness.
- Assess client reviews and testimonies to verify its service reliability, delivery quality, process maturity, strong security policies, and problem-solving capabilities.
- Send a request for proposals to your top candidates and compare based on scope, deliverables, team expertise, and total cost of ownership.
- Schedule in-depth interviews with your top candidates to discuss development processes, project management approach, security and governance frameworks, and other project details.
- Run a pilot project, such as a prototype or a minimum viable product (MVP), to test the agency's capabilities in a real-world scenario before signing a long-term contract.
What questions should you ask before hiring an offshore development firm?
Before hiring an offshore software development firm, ask these questions to confirm business and project fit:
Relevant Background
- What software type and tech stack do you specialize in?
- Can you share examples of projects similar to mine in scope and complexity?
- What is your experience in my specific sector? Can you provide 3-5 client references I can contact?
- Where are your teams located? What is their English proficiency level, and how do you handle secure and smooth collaborations?
Services and Processes
- Can you walk me through your entire software development process?
- Which development methodologies do you primarily use, and why? How structured is your approach when implementing these methodologies?
- Can you describe your quality assurance and testing processes? How do you identify, rectify, and report issues?
- What measures do you have in place for data security and protection of intellectual property across borders?
Related to Your Project
- Who will be on our team, and what are their credentials?
- What is your project management approach? How do you ensure time zone, cultural, and system alignment?
- How do you ensure that you comply with the regulations of my specific country and sector?
- How do you handle urgent issues outside our hours of daily overlap?
What red flags should you avoid?
When evaluating an offshore software development firm, watch for signs that the agency may introduce delivery, security, or governance risks. Common red flags include:
- Vague processes: If a company cannot clearly explain how it handles onboarding, discovery, SDLC execution, quality assurance, change management, and project reporting, the engagement is more likely to suffer from scope creep, delays, and inconsistent delivery quality.
- Weak security and compliance measures: An offshore software development company should be able to explain its approach to access controls, data protection, NDAs, documentation, and any relevant regulatory requirements. Weak security and compliance practices can expose the business to operational, legal, and reputational risk.
- No developer access: If all communication is tightly controlled through a single intermediary (e.g., product manager) and there is little visibility into the actual delivery team, misunderstandings can persist longer, and product alignment may suffer.
- High employee turnover rate: Frequent staff changes can disrupt continuity, slow delivery, and increase knowledge loss across the life of the project. It may also indicate deeper issues with management or team stability.
- Unclear IP ownership: If the contract does not clearly define ownership of source code, designs, documentation, and other deliverables, the business may face legal ambiguity, reuse concerns, or future dependency on the vendor.
- Vendor lock-in: Be cautious if the agency pushes proprietary tools, restrictive terms, or long commitments without explaining the operational benefit. This can make future migration, scaling, or partner changes more difficult.
- Concerning client reviews: A pattern of reviews mentioning missed deadlines, poor communication, poor quality, or lack of transparency should be treated as a serious warning sign rather than an isolated complaint.

When is offshore development the wrong fit?
You may want to avoid hiring an offshore development company when the delivery model creates more operational risk than strategic value. This is often the case when close day-to-day alignment, strict oversight, or highly controlled environments are essential.Â
Offshore developers may be a poor fit when:Â
- Real-time collaboration is critical: If your team depends on frequent live decision-making, rapid feedback loops, or constant cross-functional coordination, limited time zone overlap can slow execution.Â
- The work involves highly sensitive data or strict regulatory requirements: Projects involving proprietary algorithms, regulated customer data, or data sovereignty obligations may require tighter legal, security, and operational controls.Â
- Internal technical leadership is limited: Offshore engagements usually work best when the client has experienced product, engineering, or technology leaders who can define priorities, manage delivery, and enforce standards.Â
- Project scope is unclear: If requirements, goals, or ownership are still vague, an offshore engagement can lead to misalignment, rework, and unnecessary spend.Â
