After a market research period lasting a few months, we selected IIH Global from its competitors based on their low price, responsiveness, and dedication to working with us.

They designed and developed a robust clock-in/out feature for our custom software which met our specifications. This was done in Zoho Creator's low-code environment.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

While quality was great, we expected that the overall development speed to be faster. Development took 3 months when we needed the project completed in 2-4 weeks. To their credit, they had never worked with our specific low-code platform before, and our company had always used an in-house developer, and was the first time hiring a dedicated development firm. It was a learning curve on every side. I expect that they would work quicker on future Zoho Creator projects.
