Azumo Reviews & Testimonials
Michael S. Director at Software Development Company

Software Development Review from Michael S.
We selected Azumo to develop our software. We transitioned from another development company, so Azumo was initially responsible for migrating our existing code and environments. We are currently still working with Azumo as our nearshore software development team on adding new items to our software.

Mica Palmer Chief of Staff at Liquified
5.0★
Mobile App Development Review from Mica Palmer
They helped us solve issues. They designed an app for us.High level/quality of client attention and interaction. All communications, information exchages, and client servicing were well-conceived and well-executed. They kept me on my toes to provide them the information they needed from me. They kept excited about the project and, because of that, kept me optimistic and driving toward the success of my project.The culture of coaching and support they provide start-ups. They don't sleep well unless they know you have all the tools and chops to obtain success. I've never seen any other company provide such rich and valuable deliverables along with ingenious and compassionate client support. Kodevent is a beacon of know-how and wisdom in an otherwise dark ocean for any start-up that is hoping for success.

eCommerce Development Review from Devul Nahar
We needed help designing the Frontend pages on my website. Also some design work. Everyday I would assign my Frontend developer some key tasks and deliverables. He would report back to me. An example of key deliverable he did was help design the logic of flow of grading when we have multiple types of questions. They were quick to respond and professional. They had great professionalism, good talent, and good support.

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.

denny stearns's Review Sourced from Google
I bought the Carmela the other day. It is smoky, with burnt Carmel, marshmallow taste and smell. This is not my type of whiskey. I like smoke but there was something that disagreed with me. So this line is not my cup of... whiskey. Looking forward to trying their Bourbon and will update my tasting experience. The R6 distillery reached out to me which shows they care about their product. That goes far with me.Update... I have now tasted the R6 Distillery Bourbon Whiskey. Very pleasant to the nose with light vanilla. Taste is smooth and not sharp. The taste is in my wheelhouse of Bourbons. Sweet, smooth vanilla, light Carmel. I hear you can get a bottle at COSTCO and i saw one on the shelf at the local convenience store in Gundo. I would recommend it.

Great quality!We received selection of bourbons as a splendid gift from our friend. That was a first time we tried this product. We tested and tested different ones and enjoyed it so much, but did not have even a hint of a headache next morning! Amazing!
Victor Alpha Review from Google

Victor Alpha's Review Sourced from Google
Great speakeasy, fine spirits, nice atmosphere. Drawback is licensing restrictions - only one cocktail or 1.5 oz total in spirits. Beers are unlimited. Another flaw is when a private event is scheduled, no notice is posted on the website, meaning if you’re traveling here from afar, you will have to travel right back spiritless and hopless.Edit: When I checked the website I did not see the notice about the private event. If you say it was posted, then it was my fault for not being thorough. Also, the state did not want your missing stars and I have too many myself. They are all yours. And the gin was delicious. Cheers!

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.

What services do staff augmentation companies offer?
Staff augmentation companies provide external professionals who integrate into internal teams. Typical services include:
Temporary and contract staffing: Short-term or project-based professionals who fill immediate capacity gaps without long-term hiring commitments
Skill-based staffing: Role-specific talent for operational, administrative, or technical support
Specialist augmentation: Senior or niche experts brought in to tackle complex challenges or bridge a skill gap
Team extension: External talent working under in-house leadership as an extension of the internal team
What is the difference between staff augmentation and outsourcing?
An outsourcing and staff augmentation firm differ mainly in how teams are managed and how much control the company retains over execution.
The table below outlines the main differences between the two models:
Aspect
Staff Augmentation
Outsourcing
Responsibility ownership
The company retains responsibility for delivery
Responsibility is transferred to the external party
Management
Requires internal coordination and management
Typically self-managed by the outsourcing partner
Cultural alignment
Integrated into the company culture over time
Separate cultures and methodologies may apply
Recruitment readiness
Time needed to source role-specific talent
Teams are often ready to start immediately
Knowledge retention
Knowledge may leave when contracts end
Knowledge is retained within the provider
Best fit by duration
Short- to mid-term needs and skill gaps
Long-term or ongoing project ownership
When is the right time to hire a staff augmentation firm?
It’s usually the right choice when your internal teams need added expertise or support, such as in the following scenarios:
You need specialized skills ASAP. When a project requires expertise your team doesn’t have, such as a specific programming language or niche technical skill, you want to bring in specialists quickly without retraining or long-term hiring.
You’re facing tight deadlines or workload spikes. If timelines are compressed or the workload suddenly increases, additional professionals can help keep projects on track without overextending your core team.
You need to scale temporarily. For short-term initiatives, product launches, or one-off developments, staff augmentation provides flexibility without the overhead of permanent employment.
You want flexibility in how work is delivered. When your internal teams need to adapt quickly to shifting priorities, staff augmentation allows you to adjust workloads, timelines, and skill coverage.
Many of these companies also go for it during hiring freezes, large-scale system upgrades, or when testing new technologies before building in-house expertise.
What are the key benefits of hiring a staff augmentation provider?
Main benefits include:
Flexibility and scalability: Adjust team size quickly based on workload or project needs.
Cost efficiency: Reduce expenses tied to recruitment, training, benefits, and permanent headcount.
Faster delivery timelines: Extra resources help teams complete work sooner and maintain momentum.
Reduced administrative burden: Payroll, compliance, and HR processes are handled externally.
Lower hiring risk: Evaluate talent in real working conditions before making long-term decisions.
What are the main challenges of staff augmentation?
While staff augmentation companies in the USA offer flexibility and speed, organizations may encounter several challenges when integrating external talent into internal teams:
Communication gaps: Remote team members can face time zone differences, language barriers, or misaligned expectations. Clear communication protocols, shared tools, and regular check-ins help maintain alignment.
Cultural fit: External professionals may take time to adapt to internal workflows and company culture. That’s why you should focus on structured onboarding and early collaboration with core team members.
Knowledge transfer: Temporary team members may lack the full project context. In this case, documentation, mentorship, and inclusion in key discussions would support smoother knowledge exchange.
Legal and compliance risks: Contracts, IP ownership, and labor regulations can be complex. Make sure you have clear agreements and compliance support to minimize exposure and protect your company.
A strong staff augmentation partner typically helps address these challenges by supporting onboarding, communication structure, and compliance so that the external talent integrates effectively without disrupting internal operations.
