Good value and a team that genuinely cares about the result

Heather Wallace / Managing Director | Aug 14, 2026

The project went well overall. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned.

I would recommend Rise People to anyone looking for a dependable Quality Assurance & Testing partner.

Project summary

We hired Rise People to set up automated testing for our web application. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. We worked together for around 6 months.

Capable IT Consulting team — happy with the end result

Amy Edwards / Founder & CEO | Jul 30, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. 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. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing.

If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

Rise People was brought in to help us choose and plan the rollout of a new core system. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The engagement ran for about 5 months.

Honest advice and solid execution

Bec Murphy / Program Manager | May 22, 2026

Rise People did good work for us, and we would use them again. 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.

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.

Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Sam Doyle / Director of Technology | Apr 22, 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. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary
