Great Experience With LEAN-FORGE on Our AR/VR Development Project

Amy Lloyd / Managing Director | Sep 25, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. 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. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

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

Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We engaged LEAN-FORGE to build an AR product viewer so customers can preview items in their own space. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The engagement ran for about 3 months.

Questions & Answers

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

I work as Managing Director at Ironwood Auto Group Ltd. We operate in Automotive and most of our customers are in and around Cambridge, UK.

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

We needed to build an AR product viewer so customers can preview items in their own space, and we didn't have the in-house capacity to do it ourselves.

What services did the company provide for your project?

End-to-end AR/VR Development — from requirements and design through to deployment and a support period afterwards.

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?

Better than we expected. They pointed out a few things we had not thought about.

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 AR/VR Development partner.

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive Blockchain Development Team

Tyler Henderson / IT Manager | Sep 17, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. 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.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We engaged LEAN-FORGE to build a Web3 dashboard and wallet integration for our platform. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. The engagement ran for about 8 months.

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Georgia Taylor / Director | Aug 01, 2026

We were happy with the final result. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. 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.

The Mobile App Development 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.

I would recommend LEAN-FORGE to anyone looking for a dependable Mobile App Development partner.

Project summary

LEAN-FORGE was brought in to develop a field-staff app with offline mode that syncs back to our main system. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. We worked together for around 3 months.

Capable UI/UX Design team — happy with the end result

Nicole Hayes / Managing Director | Jun 06, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. 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. 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. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Our company worked with LEAN-FORGE to run user research and create new designs for our mobile app. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. We worked together for around 4 months.

Capable Software Development team — happy with the end result

Saud Al Zahrani / CEO | Apr 14, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. 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. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We hired LEAN-FORGE to rebuild an internal order management system that had outgrown its original design. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. Overall it was a 8-month engagement.
