Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Nicole Hayes / Project Manager | Sep 30, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. 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 developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

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

Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We hired Helmes to connect our equipment to a cloud dashboard so we could monitor it remotely. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. We worked together for around 4 months.

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.

Northgate Council Services LLC is a Government & Public Sector business in Dallas, USA. As Project Manager, I was responsible for this project on our side and the main contact for Helmes.

What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?

We needed to connect our equipment to a cloud dashboard so we could monitor it remotely, and we didn't have the in-house capacity to do it ourselves.

What services did the company provide for your project?

IoT Development, including planning, development, testing and launch support.

Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?

A colleague recommended them, and our first calls confirmed they understood what we needed.

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

Very well. They asked a lot of questions upfront and turned our rough ideas into a clear plan.

How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?

Very responsive. We usually heard back the same day, even with the time difference.

Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?

Yes. The only extra cost came from features we added ourselves, and they quoted those fairly.

What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?

We can now handle more volume without adding staff, which was the main goal.

What did you like most about working with this company?

That they were proactive — they suggested improvements instead of just doing what was asked.

Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?

Yes. They are a reliable IoT Development partner.

Skilled IoT Development Team That Understood Our Business

Lachlan Harris / IT Manager | Sep 26, 2026

Helmes did good work for us, and we would use them again. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail.

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

Project summary

We engaged Helmes to build firmware and a companion app for a smart device we were launching. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The project took roughly 7 months from kickoff to launch.

Great Experience With Helmes on Our AI & Machine Learning Project

Sanne de Vries / Head of Engineering | Sep 20, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. 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. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We hired Helmes to build a demand forecasting model on top of our sales data. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. The project took roughly 5 months from kickoff to launch.

Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Carlos Miller / Head of Engineering | Aug 16, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks.

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

Project summary

We engaged Helmes to connect our equipment to a cloud dashboard so we could monitor it remotely. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. The engagement ran for about 7 months.

Reliable AI & Machine Learning Partner That Delivered What They Promised

Sarah Chen / Founder & CEO | Jul 03, 2026

Our experience with Helmes was really positive from start to finish. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since.

Happy to recommend them.
