Good value and a team that genuinely cares about the result

Charlotte Shaw / Owner | Oct 04, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

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 DFM to develop a field-staff app with offline mode that syncs back to our main system. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. The project took roughly 8 months from kickoff to launch.

Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Anna Richter / IT Director | Sep 06, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. 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. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. We would definitely work with them again.

Great Experience With DFM on Our Game Development Project

Felix Koch / Managing Director | Aug 02, 2026

DFM 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. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. 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 Game Development 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.

Project summary

DFM was brought in to port our game to new platforms and improve performance. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The engagement ran for about 5 months.

Would happily work with them again

Lotte de Vries / Founder & CEO | Jul 03, 2026

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. We would definitely work with them again.

Dependable Web Development Partner for a Growing Logistics & Supply Chain Business

Charlotte Holmes / Project Manager | Mar 14, 2026

Our experience with DFM was really positive from start to finish. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.
