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.

What impressed me about ELEKS is the culture. There is a very strong culture of discipline and performance, and software is a profession where discipline is very important. Good software development can only happen with a strong work ethic, and I think the ELEKS team really understands that.

HyperSense Software Reviews & Testimonials
Joe Anandarajah Co-founder & CEO at Semantic Brain Corp.

UI/UX Design Review from Joe Anandarajah
We partnered with HyperSense through their TechBoost program, and they truly impressed us with their deep understanding of our business needs. They provided invaluable support with our marketing, website, and product UI/UX, which has resulted in significant traction with both customers and investors. As we continue to grow and develop our product, we look forward to working with them again. The HyperSense team is highly skilled, reliable, and trustworthy. We highly recommend their services.
Ele Munjeli CEO at Farmers and Robots

UI/UX Design Review from Ele Munjeli
My experience with Hypersense came through their Techboost program for startups. I needed help to design a very complex UI/UX for a website dedicated to planning farm operations with agricultural robotics and other advanced networked devices. While I spent a considerable amount of time in the field gathering requirements, I felt overwhelmed by the implications of designing for such a complicated scenario. Hypersense came to the rescue and delivered a beautiful UI with a clear path for the users (farmers) to explore and develop advanced automation across crops and seasons. It took a lot less time than I expected; the team was engaged and asked all the right questions from the get go. That made it easy to let go and trust the pros at the agency with design decisions. As an engineer, I am one to have my hands on every part of my work, but in this case, I found, to my relief, I could just say: do what you think is best. As a result I learned a lot about my own application. The team did not just design wireframes - they designed elegant interactions and workflows that made sense. The UI prototype was styled as well, and the team provided terrific advice on how to upgrade the existing styles for my applications to give them better web appeal and usability. The resulting design is expressive, engaging and inspired. Hypersense provides service that was more than professional - it was personal. I came away from the work with a better sense of what I am building, how to build it, and how the application will be used. I highly recommend Hypersense and will work with them again whenever I have the opportunity.
Jessica Queen CEO at Omedus

Cross-Platform Review from Jessica Queen
HyperSense developed a command dashboard for a new wireless medical monitoring device Omedus is creating. Their professionalism and dedication to the project were wonderful. The figma demo they created exceeded our expectations and we have had significant increase in product interest after using their demo with our customers. Omedus would absolutely recommend them for other companies and we plan to continue to engage their services for our own.

Atomic Object Reviews & Testimonials
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.
