Great Experience With Descartes Systems Group on Our Mobile App Development Project

Laura Fischer / Co-Founder | Oct 16, 2026

Descartes Systems Group did an excellent job for us. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. 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.

The Mobile App Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

Descartes Systems Group was brought in to build iOS and Android apps for our customers, including booking, payments and push notifications. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 5-month engagement.

Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Niamh Kelly / IT Director | Sep 04, 2026

Descartes Systems Group did an excellent job for us. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day.

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We engaged Descartes Systems Group to port our game to new platforms and improve performance. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. We worked together for around 8 months.

Descartes Systems Group did good work for us, and we would use them again. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.
