They listened, asked the right questions, and delivered

Isla Martin / Head of Product | Sep 02, 2026

The project went well overall. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. 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. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We partnered with Ideaworks to develop and audit smart contracts for a tokenized loyalty program. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. Overall it was a 9-month engagement.

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

We're a mid-sized Environmental Services company based in Adelaide, Australia. I'm the Head of Product and I oversaw the project from start to finish.

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

We had tried to do this internally and it stalled. We needed specialists to develop and audit smart contracts for a tokenized loyalty program.

What services did the company provide for your project?

Blockchain Development, plus QA and some consulting on how to structure the project.

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

We compared three or four agencies. Ideaworks asked the best questions and had good reviews from past clients.

They understood our goals quickly, partly because they had worked with Environmental Services clients before.

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

Organised and transparent. Their project manager kept the project on track and flagged risks early.

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

Yes, on time and within budget.

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.

Yes, I would recommend them and we plan to work with them again.

Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Nathan Martin / IT Director | Aug 19, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. 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 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.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. I would recommend Ideaworks to anyone looking for a dependable Web Development partner.

Project summary

Ideaworks was brought in to build a customer portal where clients can log in, track orders and download invoices. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The engagement ran for about 8 months.

What services did the company provide for your project?

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive IT Consulting Team

Julia Fischer / Director | Aug 02, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. 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.

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

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Ideaworks was brought in to help us choose and plan the rollout of a new core system. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. Overall it was a 8-month engagement.

Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable
