Dependable Low-Code / No-Code Development Partner for a Growing Logistics & Supply Chain Business

Luke Stewart / VP of Engineering | Sep 25, 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. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We hired Orthogonal to automate approval workflows using a no-code platform. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. Overall it was a 2-month engagement.

We're a mid-sized Logistics & Supply Chain company based in Sydney, Australia. I'm the VP of Engineering and I oversaw the project from start to finish.

Orthogonal did an excellent job for us. 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. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

Reliable Mobile App Development Partner That Delivered What They Promised

Huda Al Harbi / CEO | Jul 09, 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.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far.

Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Wei Jie Goh / Senior Engineering Manager | Jul 07, 2026

Our experience with Orthogonal was really positive from start to finish. 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 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. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.
