Dependable AR/VR Development Partner for a Growing Manufacturing Business

Nikhil Iyer / Head of Product | Sep 30, 2026

HackerKernel did good work for us, and we would use them again. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

HackerKernel was brought in to create an interactive 3D showroom for our website. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. Overall it was a 6-month engagement.

We're a mid-sized Manufacturing company based in Hyderabad, India. I'm the Head of Product and I oversaw the project from start to finish.

How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?

Well. There were a couple of points we had to clarify early on, but after that they were spot on.

Professional team that made a complex project feel manageable

Luke Taylor / Senior Product Manager | Jul 27, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The E-commerce Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. I would recommend HackerKernel to anyone looking for a dependable E-commerce Development partner.

Project summary

HackerKernel was brought in to migrate our online store from an older platform to a new one. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The engagement ran for about 4 months.

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive AI & Machine Learning Team

Abdullah Al Zahrani / Founder & CEO | Jun 29, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

HackerKernel was brought in to add an AI chatbot to our support site that answers questions from our help docs. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. The project took roughly 6 months from kickoff to launch.

Quality work, a little slower than we planned

Carlos Reed / CEO | Jun 21, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. 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.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Our company worked with HackerKernel to develop a casual mobile game from concept to launch. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. We worked together for around 8 months.

Capable E-commerce Development team — happy with the end result

Oliver Edwards / CEO | Jun 15, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

The E-commerce Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We engaged HackerKernel to migrate our online store from an older platform to a new one. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. Overall it was a 5-month engagement.

Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Liam Tremblay / Founder & CEO | May 24, 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 took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch.

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

Project summary

We hired HackerKernel 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. Overall it was a 3-month engagement.
