Bending Spoons Delivered a Quality E-commerce Development Solution on Time

Yousef Fernandes / Owner | Oct 08, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Bending Spoons. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

The E-commerce Development 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. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

We engaged Bending Spoons to migrate our online store from an older platform to a new one. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. The project took roughly 6 months from kickoff to launch.

Honest advice and solid execution

Johan van der Merwe / Senior Product Manager | Oct 04, 2026

Bending Spoons did an excellent job for us. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. I would recommend Bending Spoons to anyone looking for a dependable AI & Machine Learning partner.

Project summary

Solid AR/VR Development Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Carlos Ramirez / IT Director | Sep 27, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We hired Bending Spoons to build an AR product viewer so customers can preview items in their own space. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. Overall it was a 4-month engagement.

Would happily work with them again

Jonas Müller / CTO | May 29, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.
