Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Ashley Miller / Director | Sep 07, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We engaged SM Innovations to build a customer portal where clients can log in, track orders and download invoices. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The project took roughly 8 months from kickoff to launch.

Quality work, a little slower than we planned

Brandon Foster / Managing Director | Aug 20, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. 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.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing.

I would recommend SM Innovations to anyone looking for a dependable Web Development partner.

Project summary

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Faisal Al Harbi / Director | Aug 03, 2026

The project went well overall. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out.

I would recommend SM Innovations to anyone looking for a dependable Game Development partner.

Project summary

We partnered with SM Innovations to port our game to new platforms and improve performance. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. We worked together for around 8 months.

SM Innovations Delivered a Quality Web Development Solution on Time

Hui Min Ng / CEO | Jul 23, 2026

We were happy with the final result. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. 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 result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail.

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