Solid Software Development Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Nathan Stewart / Head of Digital Transformation | Aug 26, 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 developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

The Software Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We engaged Effect Group to rebuild an internal order management system that had outgrown its original design. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. The engagement ran for about 4 months.

Professional team that made a complex project feel manageable

Amit Nair / CTO | Aug 06, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. 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 result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. Happy to recommend them.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Derek Ramirez / Co-Founder | Apr 10, 2026

Our experience with Effect Group 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.
