Honest advice and solid execution

Harry Evans / IT Director | Sep 27, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with PlaceMaker. 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. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

Our company worked with PlaceMaker to set up a sensor network and alerts for our cold storage facilities. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 4-month engagement.

Professional AI & Machine Learning Team, Smooth Delivery From Start to Finish

Luke Martin / CEO | Jul 28, 2026

We were happy with the final result. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We partnered with PlaceMaker to build a demand forecasting model on top of our sales data. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. Overall it was a 2-month engagement.

Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Jack O'Brien / Senior Product Manager | Jul 18, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

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.

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

PlaceMaker was brought in to build a Shopify store with custom features for our product range. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. We worked together for around 6 months.

Solid AI & Machine Learning Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Kelly Reed / Senior Product Manager | Jun 05, 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. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. 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. I would recommend PlaceMaker to anyone looking for a dependable AI & Machine Learning partner.

Project summary

We partnered with PlaceMaker to automate document data extraction that our team was doing by hand. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The engagement ran for about 5 months.

Dependable Low-Code / No-Code Development Partner for a Growing Government & Public Sector Business

Eric Reed / Head of Digital | Jun 04, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

The Low-Code / No-Code 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 PlaceMaker to automate approval workflows using a no-code platform. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. We worked together for around 3 months.
