Would happily work with them again

Heather Miller / Project Manager | Oct 03, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Up and Running Software, Inc.. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. 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.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch.

I would recommend Up and Running Software, Inc. to anyone looking for a dependable Web Development partner.

Project summary

We engaged Up and Running Software, Inc. to redesign and rebuild our company website on a modern stack. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. We worked together for around 2 months.

Our experience with Up and Running Software, Inc. was really positive from start to finish. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Nikhil Gupta / Product Manager | Aug 12, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. 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.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Capable Data & Analytics team — happy with the end result

Rahul Menon / Director | May 19, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. 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 engaged Up and Running Software, Inc. to clean up and consolidate customer data spread across several systems. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. We worked together for around 5 months.

Quality work, a little slower than we planned

Jack Murphy / Director | Jan 01, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. 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. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. I would recommend Up and Running Software, Inc. to anyone looking for a dependable Web Development partner.

Project summary

Up and Running Software, Inc. was brought in to rebuild a slow, outdated web app and move it to a new framework. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 9-month engagement.
