Professional team that made a complex project feel manageable

Faisal Al Zahrani / Senior Engineering Manager | Aug 31, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We partnered with artholding to build firmware and a companion app for a smart device we were launching. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. Overall it was a 6-month engagement.

I'm the Senior Engineering Manager at Kinetic Life Sciences, a Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology company based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I look after our technology and work closely with outside partners on bigger projects.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
Our existing setup was holding us back. We wanted to build firmware and a companion app for a smart device we were launching before our busy season.
What services did the company provide for your project?
End-to-end IoT Development — from requirements and design through to deployment and a support period afterwards.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
We compared three or four agencies. artholding asked the best questions and had good reviews from past clients.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
They understood our goals quickly, partly because they had worked with Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology clients before.

Very responsive. We usually heard back the same day, even with the time difference.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
Yes, on time and within budget.

Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Yes. They are a reliable IoT Development partner.

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Lucy Ahmed / VP of Engineering | Jun 20, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We engaged artholding to take over manual and regression testing before each release. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. Overall it was a 8-month engagement.

Would happily work with them again

Oliver Wright / Senior Engineering Manager | Apr 27, 2026

Our experience with artholding was really positive from start to finish. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project.

Happy to recommend them.

Good value and a team that genuinely cares about the result

Hannah Walker / Founder | Mar 27, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with artholding. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

The Quality Assurance & Testing work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.
