Software Development Review from John Armstrong
ELEKS was able to take our vision and help us deliver an app that empowers retail shareholders to make their voices heard. They’ve brought a depth and breadth of technical expertise and user experience design to challenge us on our assumptions on how people would want to interact with the app. From a mobile development perspective, we wanted to go to market with both an Android and an iPhone simultaneously.

Jaroslav Tyman Jr. General Manager at Automation IG

Web Development Review from Jaroslav Tyman Jr.
We contacted Zero Negative about a two stage renewal of our company website with a very aggressive timeline for the first stage. Zero Negative worked and guided us through pulling off the first stage within our timeline while also ensuring that the content and ideas for that stage were readily applicable to the full design. When we got to the full design, they were fully responsible for corralling the various preferences and ideas from our team into a well executed cohesive site. We're now in a good spot and look forward to continuing to work with Zero Negative as our business and needs grow.
Susan E. Roberts Principal at Roberts Communications
5.0★
Web Development Review from Susan E. Roberts
Zero Negative did an exceptional job designing my website, roberts-communications.com. From the start, they understood that this wasn't just about aesthetics it was about positioning, credibility, and clarity for a senior-level communications brand.They translated a complex, high-stakes business into a site that feels polished, modern, and authoritative without being flashy or over designed. The process was collaborative, efficient, and thoughtful, and they were responsive to feedback while also offering smart guidance when it mattered.The final result reflects exactly how I want Roberts Communications to be perceived: strategic, sophisticated, and trusted. I would highly recommend Zero Negative to anyone looking for a design partner who understands brand, not just web building.

Web Development Review from Anonymous
These guys are the best! We engaged with Zero Negative to develop a comprehensive web-based system for our factory that allows for managing orders, processes, and inventory. This initiative was essential for us to secure a big ticket client. We truly could not have accomplished this without their assistance. They dedicated considerable time to on-boarding and collecting the requisite information, followed by prototyping the software, and ultimately developing it from scratch. Overall, we are very satisfied.

The team was responsible for web design, UI/UX design, frontend development, and backend development. they were communicative and open to feedback throughout the project, fixing errors and making design changes as needed. Still, the project was delayed a couple of weeks, as Llt' team was a bit slow at implementing those changes. The dedication to their work was outstanding.

Web3 Development Review from Ihor Palteka
We worked with CIDT on building a web3 tax module for our platform. The team created the full backend: blockchain data processing, NFT and DeFi event detection, VAT logic, and reporting. Communication was easy, and we always talked in Slack with regular Zoom calls to check progress. The system works stable and fits well into our product. We had some extra design iterations, but the team handled them quickly. Overall, it was a good and smooth cooperation, and we are happy with the final result.

Blockchain Review from Hanna Korovianska
We partnered with CIDT to integrate a cryptocurrency payment module into a custom eCommerce platform we were developing for one of our clients. Our goal was to add a secure and seamless crypto payment option without disrupting the existing checkout flow.The CIDT team handled everything related to blockchain integration from wallet connections and smart contract setup to documentation and testing. Their work was well-structured, efficient, and fully aligned with our development process.A special mention goes to Ramil, CIDTs CTO, whose technical expertise and leadership were outstanding. He guided our team through the blockchain-specific parts of the project, explained complex concepts in simple terms, and helped ensure that the solution was both reliable and easy to maintain.All milestones were delivered on time, communication was smooth, and the final integration performed flawlessly. Within the first three months after launch, over 3% of transactions were completed via crypto payments, with a higher average order value than traditional methods.Overall, working with CIDT was an excellent experience. Theyre a professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy team, and we look forward to future collaborations.

Mason Ferlic CEO at GripFusion
4.8★
Consumer IoT Review from Mason Ferlic
GripFusion is a sports technology startup developing Tactile Intelligence. Our flagship product, the ForceBall, is the first grip-sensing baseball. We approached Atomic Object with the challenge to build a React Native iPad app to connect with the embedded electronics over BLE and visualize sensor data in real time. Atomic stepped up to the plate and hit a home run! They took early R&D code and we're able to successfully navigate IoT challenges, large amounts of sensor data, and seamless UX. The developer team worked closely with our technical staff to incorporate evolving firmware and hardware improvements. The design team did hundreds of hours of user discovery and product feedback to ensure we deliver a cutting-edge experience. Overall, Atomic has the breadth and depth to tackle complex hardware-software systems.

Atomic Object is one of the best companies across the board in Michigan. Fantastic maker of custom-software solution and a model of organizational thought leadership. I've been working with the company in some capacity for nearly 20 years and learn something new in every interaction I've ever had.More than that, they are a value-centered organization that you will be proud to partner with. They've built this company the right way. An impactful community leader and employer of choice.

Rik Cordero's Review Sourced from Google
As a freelance Video Producer, I recently wrapped up another fun project with the folks over at Atomic Object, and I've gotta say, it was an experience worth mentioning. Collaborating with their marketing team on a series of authentic and engaging customer-facing and internal videos was nothing short of fantastic. Their seamless planning and logistics during pre-production, coupled with easy going personalities during production, made the process a breeze. Post-production brought our collective vision to life with meticulous story editing and videos that reflect their unique culture and values. Their team's dedication to kindness, empathy, and diversity made this collaboration not just successful, but truly enjoyable.
