      Software Development Review from David Williamson

      We brought Designli in to turn our construction management software idea into a clickable MVP prototype, complete with designed screens and user stories showing how the platform will work. They delivered on time and beyond what we expected. People in the construction industry who tried it were impressed by how simple and easy to use it is, even though the product behind it is complex. Communication was quick and clear, and the project was well managed throughout.

      Mobile App Development Review from John Laporte

      Designli helped us define the requirements, features, and user experience for an app for our motorcycle organization. They produced technical documentation and a clickable prototype covering navigation, member tools, and safety features. They were responsive, delivered on time every time, and turned our broad concepts into something people could actually click through. The prototype got our stakeholders aligned, earned internal approval, and set us up for engineering, and working out design questions early should save us rework later.

      Mobile App Development Review from Brandi Heffner

      Designli built our SaaS product from scratch, using AI to speed up development, with AWS and Cloudflare in the stack, and they also handle our hosting and maintenance. We had a working MVP in just 30 days and have kept adding features since. In the first 60 days they went beyond what we expected, largely because they took the time to really learn our business and our market. Coordination through Basecamp and Google Meet has kept everything organized.

      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.

      Web Development Review from Shifa Sutar

      We had a great experience working with Unico team for our Google Workspace migration and account setup. The entire process was smooth and well-managed. The team was extremely supportive, responsive, and guided us at every step, making what could have been a complex transition feel effortless. Highly recommend their services.
