Vinova Reviews & Testimonials
Mobile App Development Review from Ben Dietrich
The thing we appreciate the most about Vinova is their dedication to understanding our specific needs and delivering tailored solutions. Their team was not just focused on completing the project but also on adding value to our business. Their expertise in software development, proactive approach, and consistent communication made the whole process remarkably smooth. Their development team was agile, and their project managers were incredibly effective in handling any hiccups along the way.
Software Development Review from Cody C. Jensen
The endeavor was titled "Operational Excellence System" and was executed in collaboration with Vinova. The aim of this project was to create an internal corporate system designed to automate and manage various operational processes within our organization. The system needed to integrate with existing tools and allow for real-time tracking, monitoring, and analytical reporting. Vinova delivered this system and continues to provide ongoing support and updates.
Web Development Review from Scott Darrohn
I had the pleasure of working with Vinova on developing a website for my company, and I can confidently say they exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, their team demonstrated exceptional expertise, professionalism, and dedication.

Mobile App Development Review from Trupti Sonalkar
We came to CSL for mobile app for our drivers as the paper work was just getting too much. In less than 6 months we had hard case tablets installed in all our vehicles and the agents are no longer carry any paper whatsoever. CSL used quite a few modules from their library but they were very flexible too.
Web Development Review from Kevin M. Costello
As the initial App development comes to a close, I would like to take this time to show my appreciation of your fantastic job. The CSL team has been a pleasure to work with and delivered on every one of my requests. Saurabh is very responsive and professional and has provided me with his expertise when needed. I think the App came out awesome and I am plenty confident that it will be a hit once it launches to the public. I would like to thank the team for everything they have done up this point.
Web Development Review from Brandon J. Burton
Custom Software Lab has been invaluable to my business. Unlike our prior online advertising service, we get continuous communication, feedback, and results. I would highly recommend their services to any business.

eCommerce Development Review from Jutamas Puengpinit
We engaged SoftLoft, Inc. to enhance our e-commerce platform, which is critical for delivering our modular IoT solutions efficiently across emerging markets. As Mandom Corporation (Thailand) Limited operates in a fast-paced production and tech environment, we needed a development team that could understand both our industry-specific needs and the technical depth required to support our operations. Our goal was to refine our platform's functionality, improve system stability, and enable easier configuration and ordering of IoT devices for clients.SoftLoft delivered far beyond our expectations. Their team, consisting of a Business Analyst, four Magento developers, and two testers, approached the project with remarkable professionalism. From the outset, the Business Analyst played a pivotal role in capturing our requirements in detail and transforming them into clearly defined tasks. This laid a strong foundation for the developers to implement complex features with precision, and for the QA team to conduct thorough, issue-free testing.The project involved building a new interface for configuring device packages, optimizing backend operations for better order management, and delivering detailed documentation to support ongoing maintenance. Every deliverable was executed with care, on time, and with full transparency.What stood out most was SoftLofts commitment to quality and their responsiveness. Communication was smooth and proactive throughout the project. Their attention to detail, flexibility in accommodating adjustments, and clear documentation ensured a seamless experience for our team. The improvements they implemented significantly reduced internal friction and enhanced client satisfaction.Our experience with SoftLoft was outstanding. They brought structure, clarity, and excellence to every phase of the project. We would highly recommend them to any business seeking a reliable and capable development partner for e-commerce solutions.
eCommerce Development Review from Lev Peysekhman
I had the pleasure of working with this development team on launching an eCommerce store for our healthcare retail business in Thailand. The project was complex building a Magento-based platform integrating over 10 different systems, including product and order management, plus financial tools. They also developed some really smart features, like a dynamic questionnaire that recommends vitamins based on user input, and a secure portal for doctors to manage prescription orders.What impressed me most was their professionalism and adaptability. We had a lot of stakeholders with varying needs, tight deadlines, and even changing regulations that required quick adjustments. Despite all this, the team remained agile, communicated clearly, and delivered exactly what was promised on time.Their technical expertise ensured seamless integration across all systems, which made the entire operation much smoother. Thanks to their work, we launched a fully functional store that improved customer experience and compliance with healthcare regulations. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a dependable, skilled partner for complex eCommerce projects.
eCommerce Development Review from Rob Duxter
I'm more than satisfied in my experiences with Soft Loft. I've worked with them for a few years now, on several projects from eCommerce sites (Magento, Shopify, custom) and even apps and information architecture requirements from tech stack evaluation/selection to DNS setup and management. Every team member I've engaged with from their Executives, to Business Analysts to Project Managers, QA and Developers or Information Architects .... total Pros. Whether a small project under $20k or large over $200k - the quality and professionalism is rock solid. Thank you Soft Loft. Keep it up!!

Pete Zing's Review Sourced from Google
I will give a negative 5 if there is an option available!!! They are literally time wasting team and provide all fake information until they get the resume and after that no response and even if you follw-up, they say there are better candidates with low rate and not considered your resume. I think they take the content from the resumes collected and prepare another resume from their pool of resources to submit to customer.. Very very very unprofessional and unethical recruiting team.. they wasted lot of my time and were quiet without saying anything..Do not entertain any of the emails or calls from these guys.

Ovi I's Review Sourced from Google
Market Force handles the customer service complaints for Hungry Jacks (Australian Burger King) and they are bad at their work. The response to my complaint was generic and did not offer a solution
Manny Acino's Review Sourced from Google
I am constantly receiving emails stating shops are available to me. Tesla is an example. When checking, this shop never appears on the list. Doesn’t matter how quickly I open the email, there hasn’t ever been a Tesla shop shown.Another shop that they send to me is age restricted. But that doesn’t stop the repeated notifications they send offering the assignments. Doesn’t anyone parse these emails before wasting time sending them out to shoppers that they know, from our profiles, are not eligible to accept.Makes one wonder.
Sam Smith's Review Sourced from Google
Market Force offers rock-bottom secret shopper rates that I was a fool to ever accept. Market Force does not offer mileage compensation. In my sparsely-populated area, the combination of low rates and no mileage makes every secret shop a losing proposition.Some secret shops involved information security checks, and should definitely be handled by trained professionals rather than farmed out to the lowest bidder. It's a bad look for companies to entrust duties for such low rates.The online portal (through which shoppers have to submit all their information) feels like it was made in 2004.Once you successfully complete shops, you will be contacted by a bottom-of-the-barrel call center by someone who barely speaks English, offering you new shops. I opted out of these calls and they called me back anyway.

Then we contacted AIM Digital Technologies through LinkedIn , they changed everything with structured timelines, project tracking, and solid communication. Our software was delivered early and worked perfectly from day one. They're a truly reliable software company with global delivery capabilities. We’ll continue using them for future updates.

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Staff Augmentation Companies
What services do staff augmentation firms typically provide?
Staff augmentation firms provide a range of talent solutions depending on their area of specialization. Here are some of the most common staff augmentation services:
- IT staff augmentation: UI/UX designers, software developers, mobile app developers, data analysts, QA testers, cybersecurity specialists, and DevOps engineers
- Finance and accounting staffing: Bookkeepers, accountants, financial analysts, and compliance professionals
- Creative and marketing staffing: Content writers, graphic designers, social media managers, and performance marketers
- Manufacturing and operations staffing: Industrial engineers, quality control inspectors, and supply chain analysts
Some staff augmentation services also cover strategy consulting or fractional leadership support, such as CFOs, CTOs, or senior operations and manufacturing consultants.
What is the difference between staff augmentation and outsourcing?
Staff augmentation involves temporarily hiring external skilled professionals to expand your internal team's capacity. These professionals work alongside your in-house staff, follow your processes, and are managed directly by your team.
Because of this team augmentation, you have more direct control over day-to-day execution, workflows, and priorities while scaling faster.
Outsourcing, by contrast, involves hiring an external vendor to handle an entire project or business function. In this model, the vendor usually manages the team, processes, and delivery, while your company oversees results and business goals.
Outsourcing is often a better fit for clearly defined projects or ongoing functions. For example, a company might outsource mobile app development for a food delivery solution to an external custom software development company.
In short, staff augmentation scales your team, while outsourcing scales your operations as a whole.
What is the difference between staff augmentation and managed services?
Staff augmentation entails hiring external professionals to fill a skill gap or expand internal team capacity in areas such as your engineering team, marketing team, or HR department. These skilled professionals work as an extension of your dedicated team and follow your company's processes, tools, and management structure.
On the other hand, managed services involve outsourcing a specific function to a third-party provider that is responsible for delivering and managing that service. This model is especially common in IT, where a provider might take ownership of functions such as cybersecurity, custom software development, or help desk support using its own processes, tools, and service standards.
The key difference is control: with staff augmentation, you manage the people; with managed services, the provider manages the function.
When should you hire a staff augmentation company instead of a full-time employee?
The right choice depends on your hiring timeline, budget, need for specialized skills, and whether the role is temporary or long-term.
Consider hiring a staff augmentation company if:
- You need to scale your team quickly based on seasonal demand, project spikes, or changing workloads.
- You need specialized expertise that is not available in-house or is difficult to hire locally.
- You want more staffing flexibility without making a long-term hiring commitment.
- You need support for a defined project or short- to mid-term initiative.
Consider hiring a full-time employee if:
- You need someone in a permanent role with long-term ownership and continuity.
- The role requires deep knowledge of your brand, internal culture, or business context.
- The position involves highly sensitive responsibilities that require close internal oversight.
How long does the typical onboarding process take for augmented staff?
Typically, the onboarding process for augmented staff takes 90 days. However, some companies offer 14 days, while others may require 6 months.
The actual timeline will depend on the role, level of seniority, and complexity of your systems and processes.
In many cases, initial onboarding can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. However, full ramp-up may take longer, especially for highly specialized or leadership roles.
For instance, a junior bookkeeper may only need 7-14 days for onboarding. By contrast, a senior finance consultant or CFO-level advisor working with proprietary systems and cross-functional processes may need several weeks or even a few months to fully ramp up.
What industries are seeing the most growth in staff augmentation?
According to research by the QX Global Group, the industries seeing the highest growth in staff augmentation are:
- Locum tenens: 12%
- Education: 10%
- Engineering: 3%
- Retained search: 5%
Additionally, these segments are forecasted to drive staffing market growth by 2026:
- Healthcare: 6%
- IT: 5%
- Industrial staffing: 3%
