      VR/AR Review from Sam Rogers

      The fine folks at Groove Jones really delivered with this project! See for yourself at https://4-h.org/clover/activities/rockets-to-the-moon/ Our organization had worked with them before, but this was my first time...and my first time working with an AR project at all. Giving all the stars in all the categories isn't something I do much of, but in every way Groove Jones earned it. From the beginning, they got the intention and guided us through the choices needed to keep us within our fixed budget and immovable timeline. The team consistently delivered what we needed to get approvals from our internal and external stakeholders, and worked with us when we faced unexpected delays and technical surprises. We're just launched and already looking for the next opportunities to work with Groove Jones again! Totally professional, and totally fun :) They really made our team and our brand look good.

      VR/AR Review from Amy Chao, CMP

      The client had an exceptionally positive experience with Groove Jones. The agency delved into new technology boosting user experience, ensuring it aligned with the existing environment and was multi-channel compatible. Groove Jones in less than 90 days unveiled an interactive platform that was not only visually captivating but also had a striking impact. Throughout the journey, it remained communicative, promptly addressing modifications and infusing their unique insights. (verified via email)

      VR/AR Review from Alan Fletcher

      The client collaborated with Groove Jones on a challenging initiative, marked by a lofty yet vague objective and a pressing deadline. Discovered through online research and having no prior association, the collaboration swiftly took off. In merely three months, Groove Jones conceptualized and constructed a 20x16x10 Holodeck for the client's participation in the MWC event in Barcelona. (Verified via email)

      We were impressed with their excellent organizational standards. Ziffity Solutions was successful in maintaining the site and replacing its framework, ensuring the project's success. The team used project boards and a ticketing tool to stay on track and efficiently address issues. Their strong Magento capabilities stood out, as did their effective processes.

      Magento Review from Undisclosed

      Their overall knowledge and understanding of Magento were impressive. The new site met the client's expectations. In fact, it was significantly better than their old website, especially in terms of design. Despite initial issues in communication, the Ziffity Solutions LLC team eventually solved them satisfactorily. They also followed best practices for development.

      Software Development Review from Liudmyla Osadcha

      From wireframes to production release, INC4 built all of our user-facing products. The initial concept validation, design, and prototyping was created by our organization, but INC4 helped us to refine our interfaces and ensure the application logic was solid. As a result, we have collectively built and released four interconnected user-facing software applications that all are integrated with blockchain technology. This suite of applications is integral to our business. INC4 made our software products world-class in terms of usability, functionality, and reliability. Working with INC4 ensured our products were built and released on time and on budget. INC4 has a multitude of world-class project managers that make our work easy and fun. The project manager's excellence in communication, technical mastery, and expectation management ensure our project's delivery is of minimal concern. Delivery roadmaps are always communicated clearly and met without fail. The only time deadlines shift are when we (the clients) introduce new development criteria or features that take more time to build. However, even when this happens, the INC4 team are unflinchingly eager to accommodate our changes and adjust delivery processes accordingly. INC4 is efficient, agile, and thorough. The most impressive aspect of INC4 is how they seek to become truly invested in the development and success of each project they work on. They go beyond what is typically expected in this relationship, and are true partners who want to see our company grow. This provides a deep sense of security and trust for us as their clients. We never have to even consider INC4 taking shortcuts during the development journey because that kind of behavior is so opposed to their core organizational ethics. No matter what obstacles this organization faces, they adjust their development capacity accordingly and keep working with consistency & happy attitudes.
