Slatepen Reviews

Reliable Software Development Partner That Delivered What They Promised

Raj Sandhu / Senior Engineering Manager | Aug 30, 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. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since.

Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

Our company worked with Slatepen to build a custom operations platform to replace the spreadsheets and email threads we were running the business on. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. Overall it was a 2-month engagement.
