Would happily work with them again

Dan Foster / Co-Founder | Sep 15, 2026

GDS LLC did an excellent job for us. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far.

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

Project summary

We hired GDS LLC to build a supply chain traceability prototype on a permissioned blockchain. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. The project took roughly 4 months from kickoff to launch.

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Nikhil Agarwal / Senior Product Manager | Sep 01, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

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

Happy to recommend them.

GDS LLC Delivered a Quality Quality Assurance & Testing Solution on Time

Oliver Holmes / CEO | Jul 24, 2026

The project went well overall. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

The Quality Assurance & Testing work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Thijs Meijer / Owner | Apr 16, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out. Happy to recommend them.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about our specialized technology solutions? We have the answers to help you make informed decisions.

GDS LLC typically covers the standard range of software development work — mobile apps, web platforms, custom internal tools, UI/UX design, cloud infrastructure, AI integrations, and larger enterprise builds. Its core focus areas include Crypto Exchange Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Design, Custom Software Development and VR App Development.

The exact stack shifts by project, but GDS LLC commonly works across things like React, Angular, Vue.js, Node.js, Python, .NET, Java, PHP, Flutter, React Native, native iOS and Android, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. For context, its listed capabilities span Crypto Exchange Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Design, Custom Software Development and VR App Development, and it has experience across industries such as Construction, Media & Entertainment, Government & Public Sector, Gaming & Gambling, Real Estate and Fashion & Apparel.

What tends to set GDS LLC apart usually comes down to some mix of technical depth, relevant industry experience, how clients describe working with them, their development approach, communication habits, and whether they can actually deliver something that scales. Founded in 2007, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.

Like most established software teams, GDS LLC typically sticks around post-launch for ongoing maintenance — bug fixes, performance tuning, security patching, new feature work, and general technical support. For context, it has experience across industries such as Construction, Media & Entertainment, Government & Public Sector, Gaming & Gambling, Real Estate and Fashion & Apparel, and its listed capabilities span Crypto Exchange Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Design, Custom Software Development and VR App Development.

When you're weighing up a software partner such as GDS LLC, it's worth looking past the pitch and checking the portfolio, what past clients say, relevant industry background, technical range, how they communicate, pricing structure, project management style, and what support looks like after launch. For context, its listed capabilities span Crypto Exchange Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Design, Custom Software Development and VR App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $25 - $49.

Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like GDS LLC, where you get engineers working exclusively on your project as an extension of your in-house team rather than as a separate outsourced unit. For context, its listed capabilities span Crypto Exchange Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Design, Custom Software Development and VR App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $25 - $49.

Most professional shops, including GDS LLC, expect to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before getting into specifics — it's a fairly standard ask and a reasonable one to make before sharing anything sensitive. For context, it has experience across industries such as Construction, Media & Entertainment, Government & Public Sector, Gaming & Gambling, Real Estate and Fashion & Apparel, and its typical hourly rate is around $25 - $49.

It's a common line of work for a company like GDS LLC — multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing hooked up properly, and cloud-native deployment built for a product meant to scale as a service rather than a one-off build. For context, its listed capabilities span Crypto Exchange Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Design, Custom Software Development and VR App Development, and it has experience across industries such as Construction, Media & Entertainment, Government & Public Sector, Gaming & Gambling, Real Estate and Fashion & Apparel.

Modernizing legacy software is usually within scope for a firm like GDS LLC — re-platforming, refactoring old code, and moving things onto current frameworks or cloud infrastructure without necessarily rebuilding everything from zero. For context, its listed capabilities span Crypto Exchange Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Design, Custom Software Development and VR App Development, and it has experience across industries such as Construction, Media & Entertainment, Government & Public Sector, Gaming & Gambling, Real Estate and Fashion & Apparel.

The most reliable route is giving GDS LLC a clear, specific brief up front — through their website form, a direct email, or a call — since a vague ask tends to get a vague answer back, while a concrete one usually gets a proper estimate. For context, its listed capabilities span Crypto Exchange Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Design, Custom Software Development and VR App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $25 - $49.
