Custom platform fit our operations better than expected

Rafael Costa / Product Owner - Vitru Mobility
Verified
May 15, 2026

Project summary: We needed a partner who could handle ambiguity early, then execute predictably once requirements were clarified. Delivery discipline and communication quality were both important.

We appreciated the balance between technical depth and business communication. Weekly updates were concise, risks were documented, and decisions were explained with tradeoffs rather than jargon. Not everything was perfect on first pass, but iteration cycles were fast and constructive. The final product is stable and has reduced a lot of manual work for our operations team.

PROS

Ability to translate business goals into usable product decisions, not just technical output

CONS

One third-party integration took longer than expected due to external API constraints

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
We are a mid-sized business in the Agriculture space, and I lead this function as Product Owner. I was responsible for evaluating vendors, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring the project delivered measurable operational gains.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
Our main challenge was that existing Agriculture workflows were fragmented and hard to scale. We needed Software Development support to reduce manual effort, improve reliability, and give teams clearer visibility into day-to-day operations.
What services did the company provide for your project?
They handled discovery, technical planning, implementation, QA, deployment, and post-launch stabilization for Software Development. Scope was phased sensibly, and they were clear about what should ship now versus move to a later release.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
We shortlisted a few firms, but this team stood out for their Software Development experience and the way they discussed Agriculture constraints in practical terms. They were transparent about risks and did not overpromise on timelines.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
They understood our requirements well after a structured discovery phase. There were a couple of assumptions we corrected early, but once aligned, execution stayed consistent and traceable against agreed priorities.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Project management was strong: weekly checkpoints, a shared board, and clear ownership on action items. Response times were generally quick, and when blockers appeared, they surfaced them early with concrete mitigation steps.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
Most milestones were delivered on time and within the approved budget. We had minor date movement on one integration-heavy stream, but it was communicated in advance and handled without major downstream impact.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
Yes. After go-live, we saw better process turnaround times, fewer support escalations, and stronger reporting accuracy. The platform is now a practical part of our daily operations rather than a side tool.
What did you like most about working with this company?
Two things stood out: they were candid about tradeoffs, and they stayed accountable through launch. We also liked that their engineers translated technical decisions into business implications our leadership team could evaluate.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Yes, especially for teams needing a dependable Software Development partner in Agriculture. They are not the cheapest vendor, but they are organized, transparent, and focused on outcomes that hold up in production.

Dependable delivery with clear communication throughout

Olivia Bennett / Director of Digital Learning - BrightPath Learning

May 15, 2026

Project summary: Our project involved replacing legacy workflows with a modern platform while keeping business continuity intact. We prioritized maintainability, adoption, and measurable impact.

This team handled a complicated integration landscape better than our previous vendors. They were practical about what should be built now versus deferred, which kept timelines realistic. Testing coverage was decent and they were transparent when defects appeared. We still maintain a short backlog of non-critical enhancements, but the platform is already delivering value.

PROS

Strong integration work with third-party systems and proactive monitoring setup

CONS

Some change requests required formal reprioritization, which was correct but slowed quick tweaks
