Skilled AI & Machine Learning Team That Understood Our Business

Lerato van der Merwe / Founder & CEO | Oct 11, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

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

Project summary

We hired Decode Development to build a demand forecasting model on top of our sales data. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. Overall it was a 5-month engagement.

Professional AI & Machine Learning Team, Smooth Delivery From Start to Finish

Vikram Kulkarni / Founder | Sep 27, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The AI & Machine Learning work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes.

If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.
