Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Niamh Murphy / Senior Product Manager | Oct 14, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. 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. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The Quality Assurance & Testing work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We partnered with HokuApps to run performance and load testing ahead of a big launch. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. Overall it was a 7-month engagement.

Capable IoT Development team — happy with the end result

Meera Bose / CEO | Jul 06, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. 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.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Omar Khan / Founder | Mar 08, 2026
