Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Tyler Nguyen / Co-Founder | Sep 24, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. 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.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. 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

PlatypusBox was brought in to provide ongoing monitoring and support for our cloud infrastructure. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. We worked together for around 6 months.

We were very happy with how this project went. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far.

We would definitely work with them again.

Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Stephanie Nguyen / Operations Manager | May 31, 2026

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

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far.

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

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Daan de Vries / Chief Digital Officer | Apr 30, 2026

We were happy with the final result. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. 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.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

We partnered with PlatypusBox to build the multiplayer features for our existing game. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. We worked together for around 4 months.

Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Ananya Reddy / Managing Director | Apr 17, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. 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.

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

Project summary

Our company worked with PlatypusBox to set up a sensor network and alerts for our cold storage facilities. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The project took roughly 4 months from kickoff to launch.

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Hui Min Tan / Owner | Mar 08, 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. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

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.
