Their resources provided recommendations on improving the product’s navigation design and making it more intuitive based on user feedback. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.5 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Director of Product Management, EBS - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jan 4, 2023 **Feedback Summary**: The product was cleaner, less busy, and more intuitive than its previous iteration, according to feedback from end users. It was also easier to navigate, thanks to Unosquare, LLC's (formerly Catalyst UX's) work. The team was on top of everything and scheduled things properly ahead of time, resulting in a smooth engagement.  "“They provided a lot of recommendations; they didn’t just tell us how we should do things.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there.I’m the director of product management at EBS, a software company with several products. Our main flagship product is ProPricer, a proposal software intended for pricing, estimates, and proposal creation. We have quite a big customer base in the aerospace and defense industry.  **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Catalyst UX?We didn’t have UX specialists within our ranks. Our company had a couple of development teams and managers and used internal assets to come up with the design of our software. Much of it came from the designed that worked back in the day. We attempted to modernize the product, so we decided to get a UX specialist to work on it. However, couldn’t find anybody that suited us. As a result, we decided to seek external companies to help us. That was why we engaged Catalyst.  **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?Initially, we introduced what we were attempting to do and what our goal was without knowing a whole lot about the industry segment. During the first phase of the project, we sat down with them and went through what our software did and looked like. We then discussed specific areas that we wanted to improve, and the team provided their recommendations on what we should address and what would be more intuitive for end users. Our company took their route and had 3–4 stages where we went back and forth and adopted their implementation approach. The software was complex, and it took us several tries to relay what it truly was. In any case, it was developed in various stages. Finally, when Catalyst delivered their final recommendations, we took a majority of what they proposed and started implementing them. While we were developing the product, we had a beta group testing it. Catalyst came and did their part toward the end of the beta group. We already had some ideas from our existing customers that the software was simple and easy to use; it was busy and unintuitive. Given that, Catalyst suggested removing some navigation pieces and keeping everything in one place. This would make the product simpler and more intuitive. We got rid of the navigation panel and moved all controls up in one area. To create the designs, we used Figma. What is the team composition?Our initial contact was with Paul (CEO), and then there was a salesperson. From there, we worked with two people; one did all the wireframes while the other put together the prototype. We met with those two a couple of times per week for a couple of months as we went through that process. How did you come to work with Catalyst UX?We told Catalyst general information about the software and what it did. From there, they came up with a proposal for what they could do to the product. They presented a couple of options, which we evaluated. We considered other companies, but Catalyst had the best offer. As a result, we decided to go ahead with them. How much have you invested with them?We spent around $50,000. What is the status of this engagement?Our engagement lasted from September–November 2022. For context, we chose them in the beginning of August 2022, but because of the beta group and other things that were happening, we didn’t start the engagement until the end of September 2022.  **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Several customers told us they could put the product in the hands of end users because it was much cleaner, less busy, and more intuitive than before. For navigation, we used MS Clarity to see if there were any dead clicks and things like that. Overall, the product was a lot clearer in terms of navigation and based on the feedback of people still on the sandboxes testing the product.How did Catalyst UX perform from a project management standpoint?The project was well. Catalyst was on top of everything, letting us know how many UI areas were addressed and what was left behind. Everything was on point’; nothing was delayed or canceled — the project moved forward. Moreover, there was a couple of times where the wireframe specialist contacted us outside of the working hours. I specifically told him that that was fine. He needed some help in some specific UI areas, so he reached out over the weekend. I replied back with an email, and he was ready to show his work by Monday. Overall, they worked outside regular working hours, so everything stayed on track. Additionally, everything was scheduled out properly. The salesperson served as the project manager, and she scheduled everything ahead of time.

We've started sharing some of the designs with our customers and they are very excited.How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?Very good! The first meeting was a bit "slow" so I had a chat with Paul the CEO and our 2nd meeting that week was very productive, as were the rest of the sessions. We would make design changes "on the fly" that were instantly visible and the pace and process was very agile.What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?Their ability to hear us, understand are needs, and then deliver for us was spot on. The way their team gelled with ours couldn't have been better. We were able to complete the project on-time and on-budget and we even increased scope slightly at the end.Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?I honestly can't think of anything for improvement. Our entire company couldn't be more pleased with the results of the project. --- #### Custom App Dev for Management Consulting Firm **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Nov. 2015 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Unosquare, LLC is using C#, JavaScript, and Angular to build three custom applications for a management consulting firm. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Senior Director of Talent Acquisition, Mgmt.

The Unosquare, LLC team contributed significantly to the overall planning and direction of the project. The team was able to integrate themselves into the company's internal culture and become valued members. ""We have been very fortunate with the Unosquare team members." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. As the CTO and co-founder of Talkoot I'm responsible for providing a clear technology strategy and productive work environment that aligns with our vision and values. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Unosquare, LLC, and what were your goals? We have worked on one staff augmentation project together, consisting primarily of back-end development of integrations using C# and Restful APIs on an application written on the ASP.NET MVC framework. React and Visual Studio have also been utilized for UI front-end configuration. **SOLUTION** How did you select Unosquare, LLC and what were the deciding factors? Unosquare is a locally managed, nearshore option that fit our needs for flexibility and resource allocation expertise. The driving force in our decision was the value proposition to integrate team member as though they are permanent employees committed to the success of the company. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used. The project of building integrations contains multiple milestones and will be an ongoing effort indefinitely. The scope of the initial milestone was to build a proof of concept middleware solution, Olli, that interacts with RESTful API endpoints between Talkoot and Shopify. This solution was developed on-time with minimal impact on the production code-base within 4 months. The scope of the next project was to expand upon that integration with a lightweight application named Pagemunk that will be publicly marketed within the Shopify store. This project utilizes it's own cloud-based serverless architecture and will be targeting small-sized customers. 6 months into this work we are just now code-complete and are about to wrap up regression for submission. The third project started about 3 months ago and utilized both of these first two projects to expand the integration efforts with Shopify into a generic structure extensible for multiple channels including Amazon, Hybris, Magento, Salesforce, etc. This integration will be interfacing the legacy Talkoot architecture that targets enterprise customers into push & pull reconciliation commands for products and variants, formatted content and organized media such as images and videos. Our hope is to be code-complete with the first iteration by the end of March. Our next projects include expansion on Pagemunk, integration with Hybris (SAP) and completing beta for the BrandCenter module within Talkoot. How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? We have worked with 3 Unosquare individuals so far. Carlos has been working since February of 2020 as a senior developer. Eliel worked for nearly 2 months as a junior developer. Tony is joining as a senior developer. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? The projects have been delivered on-time and with solid foundation. We have an agile process, but we do require initial designs and architecture to be firmly decided upon before coding a solution. The Unosquare team members have significantly contributed to planning and direction. Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines. We communicate on a daily basis through Zoom meetings and live-chat in Slack. A remote workplace has been a competitive advantage for us and thus we rely on a flexible culture and sense of community belonging to motivate our staff. The Unosquare hires that fit in are ones that are friendly, engaging and understand the big picture. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? Unosquare has all of the expected requisites for a software consulting firm including skill matching, HR processes, ongoing monitoring. However, the real competitive advantage that attracted us was their ability to integrate the personnel into the company culture as a valuable member of our community. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? We have been very fortunate with the Unosquare team members. We did have one surprise when a member decided to move on to another firm, but that seemed to be circumstantial and caught everyone off-guard. Unosquare's ability to problem solve that moment saved our roadmap timeline and has only strengthened our relationship. --- #### Staff Augmentation for Technology Consultancy Firm **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Feb. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: A technology consulting firm hired Unosquare, LLC for their staff augmentation services. The goal is to provide talented and cost-effective staff that will help develop a user-friendly SaaS product. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Chief Technology Officer, Technology Consulting Firm - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Feb 25, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: Unosquare, LLC delivers competitive price points while maintaining a high quality of service. The communication is constant and requests are answered in a timely manner. The team is transparent and they are willing to work with the client in good faith. "".They quickly provide high-quality personnel and are upfront about the cost involved." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I am the CTO of a Rhode Island based firm offering services around business and technology consulting and application development. I manage the development team, oversee the technology consulting practice, and am responsible for service delivery. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Unosquare, LLC? Unosquare has augmented our staff with resources in front-end web development, UI/UX design, and quality assurance. Our flagship project is a social media platform for communities and brands; however, we've used Unosquare talent on other projects as well. What were your goals for this project? We needed talented, cost-effective staff that could bring to life a vision for a high quality, user friendly SaaS product. **SOLUTION** How did you select Unosquare, LLC? Unosquare's transparent pricing model and flexible terms made us decide to partner with them, and the level of professionalism of the talent they provide keep us engaged with them on an ongoing basis. Describe the project in detail. The customer's vision was a branded portal that he could launch for members of his community to communicate and share ideas. Unosquare's UX/UI designer was involved early with interviews, user personas, and market research. It was a truly professional UI-building approach. Once a design and information architecture was complete, Unosquare team members were in constant communication with our internal staff, attending daily standups and participating in the sprint planning process. We provided direction, but the Unosquare team provided a tremendous amount of valuable input and insight as we moved through the development life cycle. What was the team composition? At various parts of the project, we used Unosquare talent for intermediate-level Front-End Development (ReactJS & React Native), UI/UX design, and a quality assurance engineer. We have an in-house project manager/business analyst and two senior full-stack engineers. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? Our app development team builds mostly functional business apps rather than end-user heavy software, so cost is paramount. Unosquare has allowed us to offer competitive price points to our customers while maintaining a high quality of service. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? We are in frequent communication with our account manager and customer success manager. Requests are always answered in a timely manner. When our billing methods began to get complicated, Unosquare worked with us to set up a custom system for reporting out work allocations. They were able to deploy this quickly and it allowed us to achieve better accuracy in billing and a higher confidence in our profitability reporting. What did you find most impressive about this company? Unosquare is very transparent and willing to work with us in good faith. Other nearshore vendors have complicated rules, "gotchya" clauses, and arcane pricing structures. When we need help from Unosquare, we're never put in a position where we're being pitched to, or nickle-and-dimed about a price point on talent. They quickly provide high-quality personnel and are upfront about the cost involved. Are there any areas for improvement? The new ClientCore site is great, but it would be wonderful if it could include a history of invoices (full copies, not just the invoiced amount) and reporting on hours allocated. Currently, I need to request manual reports from our account representative. He's always speedy about it, but it'd be great to be able to get that on our own. Also, QA engineers have a limited amount of devices at their disposal to test with - mainly, their own. It would be great if Unosquare could provide them with a testing platform like browser stack or AWS device farm for true cross-platform QA. --- #### Staff Augmentation for Internet SaaS Company **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Aug. 2016 - Aug. 2020 **Project Summary**: Unosquare, LLC augmented the staff of an internet SaaS company. The team worked on a variety of projects, including internal productivity tooling and system architecture. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Director of Engineering, SaaS Company - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 501-1,000 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Aug 8, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: Throughout the engagement, the work completed by Unosquare, LLC regularly met the standards and expectations of the internal team. They provide a seamless workflow through effective communication and collaboration. The team produces quality results in a timely manner. ""We could rely on their team to deliver what was needed." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I am a Director of Engineering at a fully distributed SaaS software company. We have almost 700 people across the globe, and our engineering organization is around 250 people in size. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Unosquare, LLC? Unosquare contributed engineers to our Platform Engineering organization working on projects related to internal productivity tooling as well as key architectural system components for our products. What were your goals for this project? Our goals were to enable our engineers to move faster and more effectively, and to ensure stability for our products. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? The selection of Unosquare happened before I took on my role and I don't have context on the selection process. Describe the project in detail. The scope was a multi-year engagement for continued progress against developer productivity tooling as well as product system components. Unosquare's engineers contributed to planning and execution. What was the team composition? Unosquare provided two engineers to augment our team. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? Work output from Unosquare's engineers was consistently delivering against expectations and contributed to the goals of the projects they worked on. Our internal tooling has enabled our engineers to be more productive and successful. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? Unosquare engineers were embedded directly into our teams and participated as an equal team member with our other engineers. Communication, collaboration, and workflow was incredibly smooth. What did you find most impressive about this company? The Unosquare engineers assigned to work with us were excellent team members. We could rely on their team to deliver what was needed. Are there any areas for improvement? None --- #### UI Staff Augmentation for Software Engineering Firm **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation, UX/UI Design - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Sep. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Unosquare provides frontend development staff augmentation services, essentially serving as a software engineering firm’s UI team. They’re helping to build a major web app using Vue. They work in agile. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CTO, Ventacity Systems - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jun 25, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: Unosquare sets themselves apart from other contract firms by having very structured processes, maintaining strong expertise of modern design techniques, and delivering high-caliber work. The client-oriented team has proven capable of keeping up with and even outpacing a very fast-paced environment. "“We can give them something that should take a day, but they’ll be done in an hour, and then they’re on to more tasks.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the CTO at a company called Ventacity Systems Inc. We’re a software engineering company that builds large cloud-based SaaS control systems for building automation. I oversee the overall system architecture, SaaS operations, and UX responsibilities. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Unosquare, LLC? We needed to build a major web app. The internal resources within Ventacity were limited in the skillset necessary to rapidly develop web applications. We have some really talented backend resources, but we were light on frontend capabilities. We needed an outfit that could do rapid development of Vue-based frontend work. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Unosquare provides frontend developers. They are our UI team. We have an experienced UX designer and two experienced UI developers internal to the company, but Unosquare forms the bulk of the UI development capabilities that Ventacity has. What is the team composition? Initially, we worked with four people, and that has expanded to eight. This includes a principal engineer who is super experienced and manages the project. How did you come to work with Unosquare, LLC? Our CEO and one of the founders of Unosquare knew each other, so our CEO introduced our chief architect and me to them. We decided to work with them based on the way in which they engaged with us. Our chief software architect flew down to their headquarters and was introduced to the company and the principal engineer that would be involved in the project. The way they guided everything told me that they were a very professional and skilled organization that knew what they were doing. How much have you invested with them? We’ve spent approximately $300,000. What is the status of this engagement? We started the process of trying to get engaged with them in August 2019. Some internal issues of working on a major contract prevented us from going to their headquarters until September, and then the process of getting everything up and moving between the two companies began in October. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Our scrum master is a very experienced software engineer who hands out assignments and works with them day-to-day, and there has been nothing but glowing reviews. Unosquare has a range of skillsets, so there are young software developers as well as more experienced ones. Some of the relatively young ones have been superstars in their ability to turn out work, which I’ve seen personally but also heard from the scrum master. Another contract firm we’d engaged was harder to work with, and one of our experienced in-house developers deemed the quality of their work really substandard. That developer’s regard for Unosquare is really high, and he frequently comments that he likes working with them.  How did Unosquare, LLC perform from a project management standpoint? We have a scrum master who is in charge of handling that. The eight resources are on standup calls every morning. They know the routine in agile; it’s all about checking items off of the list, and they seem to be very good at it. Following the scrum process and having the daily standup means there is constant feedback to all developers letting them know what tasks to focus on. This environment can be hard for people to work under because it’s pretty fast-paced, but Unosquare is doing it. We can give them something that should take a day, but they’ll be done in an hour, and then they’re on to more tasks. They have good time management individually. I’m seeing work come out faster than I would have expected. Having worked with contract software firms before, I found it was often chaotic in the beginning trying to figure out how to work with each other. Working with Unosquare is refreshing because they’re much more structured. They have a set of processes that they implement. For instance, they have an interview process for each of the developers that are going to work with you so that the team is able to see résumés, speak with them, and make decisions.  Then, Unosquare has a training process, so that if their resources aren’t quite as familiar with what we’re doing, they put them in a class. They often even have them on the project for free while the person is coming up to speed. It’s very structured and guided by Unosquare, which makes it much easier for us to work with them and get the benefit of the contract relationship. What did you find most impressive about them? There are two answers to that question. Firstly, the work itself stands out. There is a focus on working with the Ventacity team to establish what works needs to be done, versus thinking they know what they’re doing and just building the software out the way they think it ought to be. There’s an adherence to the UX work that we’ve done. They take the lead from our UX designer, which has been really valuable and has not been our experience with other contract firms. Secondly, their awareness of modern design techniques in using packages like Vue has stood out. Again, that hasn’t been our experience with others. I’d also mention that there was a major project we were working on that had a large amount of money assigned to it. Unosquare was very flexible in working with us in terms of payment. That allowed us to have a lot of really high-powered talent so that we could get the contract done. The company was willing to work directly with us in a more nonstandard way, and that was enormously important for the development.  Are there any areas they could improve? No, not really. There are varying levels of talent within the team, and by nature of contract work, you’ll get some really good people and some that aren’t as good. However, Unosquare has a set of programs to deal with that. If we comment that a resource can’t get things done fast enough, they go through a remedial process with that person, and if that person doesn’t change, they make the change. They’re aggressive about managing the account and making sure that the customer is getting what they need. Any advice for potential customers? As the customer, you have to be willing to tell Unosquare management what’s going on. If they know, they’ll move fast to support you and make sure it turns out well. You couldn’t ask for something different out of a contract company; if they don’t know, they can’t help. The onus is on the customer, but they make it easy. Just tell them what you think, and they’ll make it happen. --- #### Product Engineering for Healthcare Tech Company **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $1,000,000 to $9,999,999 - Project length: June 2020 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Unosquare, LLC provided product engineering and QA staff expansion.

Unosquare's flexibility to add staff with a variety of roles and expertise enabled us to evolve the team with our needs as they changed with the project. Additionally, their dedication to high customer service and "easy to do business with" mentality made them easy to select and work with. Describe the project in detail. The project we selected Unosquare for included engineering a search engine to enable users to quickly search and browse using modern methods. What was the team composition? Our methodology includes blending teams of Product Managers, Developers, Quality Assurance Engineers, Analysts and Scrum Masters. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? The project was delivered and rolled out to our clients on time with very positive feedback. It reached millions of consumers through our platform and has remained in place for several years following the launch. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? Unosquare has the ability to deliver a "one team" experience. The difference between "their team" and ours disappeared and we had one cohesive squad delivering great features - it was a good example of a truly successful blended team. What did you find most impressive about this company? Unosquare has a true passion for their customers and displays loyalty and dedication no matter what the size of the project. They don't just focus on the large initiatives, but will come alongside anything our organization needs help with. That partnership is valuable to grow a truly effective blended team over time. Are there any areas for improvement? There are always ways to improve and create more efficiencies - in my experience working with Unosqare the opportunities to improve were at the individual team level required both staff and contract team member to identify and improve areas together collaboratively. --- #### Development for Healthcare & Insurance Company **The Project** - Services: Custom Software Development - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Jan. - Dec. 2019 **Project Summary**: Unosquare, LLC offered development and QA support to augment internal efforts.

Cambia is the parent company of several insurance companies and various health care related start ups.  **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Unosquare, LLC? Unosquare was selected to augment an on-site product development team for two of Cambia’s start up companies. Our goal was to increase feature development velocity at a minimal financial expenditure. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? Unosquare is an approved vendor with Cambia and has been for a number of years.

I am the director of engineering at a leading provider of identity protection and data breach services for companies and individuals throughout the U.S., servicing clients in healthcare, financial services, retail, higher education, and the government. We are headquartered in Portland, OR. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Unosquare, LLC? Our company hired Unosquare to augment and add burst capacity to the development teams working on our main product platform. What were your goals for this project? Our primary goal was to increase overall team velocity and allow Engineering to deliver features to market faster, while maintaining the very high coding standards, best practices, and culture/values of the team. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? The leadership team researched and considered several nearshoring options from a variety of locations. In the end, it was a combination of pricing, their proposal, the flexibility of their approach, the company culture, and the positive experiences some on our leadership staff had working with Unosquare in the past that made the decision an easy one. Describe the project in detail. Once we had the go ahead to proceed with the augmentation, myself and several members of the engineering team began working on the hiring and selection process. The candidate pool, both from the bench and elsewhere, was excellent. Candidates were prescreened by Unosquare and all had solid technical and communication skills. We brought several talented front end, back end, and QA resources into the team and began the onboarding and integration process. Throughout the entire process, we had excellent support from our client service representative as well as the VP of Customer Loyalty. These new developers then began working on features for our primary product/platform (a cloud-native microservices SAAS platform). What was the team composition?

What did you find most impressive about this company? One of the things that continues to impress me about Unosquare is their company/engineering culture. Unosquare leadership values and looks out for their team, and the culture is much more than just staff augmentation.

They collaborate well with the client in terms of project management and provide regular updates. Their nearshore model works very well. ""UnoSquare has always provided highly skilled and competent resources." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I have worked with UnoSquare at two different companies during my career. In both companies, I held the position of CIO **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Unosquare, LLC? We hired them for various outsourced custom software development projects What were your goals for this project? Our goals included building highly reliable software, that was easy to use, while doing so as cost effectively as possible **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? I met one of the co-owners, Mike Barrett, back in 2003 when he worked for an offshore development company and I was exploring if offshore was right for me. Of the three companies I interviewed, Mike was the only person who was honest with me and told me I was not ready for offshore - the other two were more than happy to take my money even though I was not ready for offshore. Because of his honesty and my trust in Mike, I gave them a project when Mike formed his own company, UnoSquare, a couple of years later. Describe the project and the services they provided in detail. The developed several different software applications for me through the years, including a pharmacy cost management application, a self storage management system, a drug savings program that matches patients with drug savings programs, a convenience store application, and a video production management system. They developed these applications based on my specs. What was the team composition? It varied depending upon the project. A couple of projects were just one or two people. Some projects included up to 6 team members. UnoSquare provided software developers, product managers, QC resources, and project management oversight. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business? Many of these projects were transformational in the automation of our business, enabling the business line to function in an efficient manner. These applications had a key impact in differentiating our companies in the marketplace as having superior technology, which in turn drove new client sales and the valuation of the company. How was project management arranged and how effective was it? Typically, we used a model where I, or someone on my staff, acted as project management alongside a resource from UnoSquare. Our cadence included weekly project status calls, and other regular updates on progress. What did you find most impressive about this company? Their nearshore model works extremely well. You have resources in a similar timezone, not 12 hours off, with good English skills, and a good understanding of North American business and the concepts we were trying to achieve. Offshore resources oftentimes did not even understand basic business concepts. The people they hire are experienced and screened so they only have the best. With a third party, your success it 100% tied to the capabilities of the person they put on your job. UnoSquare has always provided highly skilled and competent resources. Are there any areas for improvement? There is nothing major I can call out for improvement. The only area I would mention is a system to provide project oversight, which they are rolling out soon. --- #### Staff Augmentation for Healthcare Benefits bBoker **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Nov. 2017 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Unosquare, LLC augmented the staff of a healthcare benefits broker.

At this point we employ approximately 60 people. My role is to oversee technical vendor relations, make decisions on technology used, and oversee development. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Unosquare, LLC? Early on in the life of the company, I was one of the sole developers and created a portal to manage and report on benefits for both administrators and clients that relied on a content management portal to provide a UI template and security. As time went on, and we gained more clients, I realized this architecture did not scale well when changes needed to be rolled out. What were your goals for this project? We wanted to upgrade to the latest angular framework, create a true mobile-friendly site, replace the current security with a robust service, allow for growth within the application, and improve automation and unit testing. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor? I was introduced to Unosquare initially in 2015. At the time, we had employed a couple developers. As time went on, I became frustrated with the hires, and eventually decided I wanted to try the staff augmentation. I checked out 2 other near-shore firms before deciding on Unosquare. They were closer to travel to than the other operations, had competitive pricing, and I was really impressed with the culture and the way people were treated. Describe the project in detail. Once we selected Unosquare, we had a kick-off meeting, then I described my goals and the skillsets I wanted for the initial phase of the project. A few candidates were presented and I was able to interview them remotely, then selected those I felt were the best fit. There was also a consultation with a designer to help with the UX, as well as with the client success manager to make sure that the goals were understood. What was the team composition? Initially, we started out with the client success manager, the angular developer, and a QA engineer. I interacted on a daily basis with the developer and QA engineer, as they were my team. The client success manager would contact me as needed, or every few weeks. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? Within 4 months of starting the work, we had a new portal that was easier to maintain and augment, as well as better security. The workflow was greatly improved, making it easier for our staff and clients to manage benefits. We received feedback that our clients liked the new design, and the fact it was mobile friendly. In the past 18 months, we have been able to improve and add more features that differentiate us from the rest of the market. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? The workflow was very effective. I get along with well with the client success and project managers, as well as the rest of the team. I have been successful in fostering respectful and friendly relationships with the team members, as well as keeping an open and honest bi-directional channel of communication and feedback. What did you find most impressive about this company? I was impressed by how they could take my description of the skills I needed and find a candidate to match them. I also appreciate the fact they invest so much into human capital - letting the employees and clients know they are indeed appreciated. Unosquare continues to impress by finding people not only with development skills, but also with scrum management and business analysis to help me stay focused on bigger picture items. Are there any areas for improvement? Development work estimation needs some improvement - but that is why we are continually iterating and refining estimates and requirements. I also think that is a common issue no matter where you go. In the end, the output is what is asked for, and I can trust the quality. --- #### Software Engineering & QA for Caller ID Company **The Project** - Services: IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Jan. 2015 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: A caller ID company hired Unosquare, LLC to provide software engineering and QA resources.

We’re building an implantable brain-computer interface for people with paralysis, allowing them to control handsfree devices that overcome problems of communication and upper and lower limb function. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Catalyst UX?We’re working with them to solve a very exciting UX problem, namely building a handsfree user experience that is cross-platform. We’re building a completely modular and cross-platform system that enables people to interact with existing operating systems but without the use of a mouse or keyboard. Critical in this is the UI/UX, and Catalyst is serving that role for us. We chose them because of their experience with medical device applications and their understanding of FDA regulations. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?We’re utilizing Catalyst’s access to industrial designers and developers to deliver a user-focused UI/UX solution for our cross-platform development needs. It’s traditional technology development, but we’re targeting a patient population, and therefore, have to meet specific criteria set out by the FDA. Catalyst is going about development in a strict and highly regulated manner so that we can present our work clearly to the FDA.We’ve gone through a discovery phase, and we’re working on the design now before we begin the coding phase. Catalyst has been an early partner for us, helping us design the product at the outset. Focus-group testing has been handled by both our parties.What is the team composition?There are about five people from their team working with us. Paul (CEO, Catalyst UX) is our main contact, and he coordinates the entire team. There’s a UX designer in place, a programmer, and a few others.How did you come to work with Catalyst UX?We did an exhaustive search to find every UI/UX developer in the US who had experience with getting software through FDA approval, and Catalyst UX came out on top. We had buy-in from their founder, and that was important. We knew that they were interested in the project, and it was obvious early on that Paul had a strategic vision for delivering on the requirements of a small, early-stage startup. He’d been through a couple of major development projects and understood what I needed in order to get the next round of funding, a necessary step to keep the project moving forward. That was the real difference point, and they’ve proven capable of doing that.What is the status of this engagement?We started working with Catalyst UX at least three years ago, probably in the first quarter of 2017. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?There’s something a bit different about Catalyst. The reason they’ve been able to attract good people in the Bay Area—which is highly competitive—is that their developers are spread all over the country. Our work with them has been web-based, and it’s worked well. Our company is spread between Silicon Valley and Australia, and they’ve been flexible, especially in terms of communication.How did Catalyst UX perform from a project management standpoint?Paul is the project lead, and he’s very approachable and friendly. I can’t speak highly enough of his professionalism and responsiveness. We use Zoom and monday.com for project management.What did you find most impressive about them?Another feature of startups is that plans change frequently, and some people don’t do well with that and become frustrated. We’re changing what we want a lot, and Paul has been very responsive and flexible. As a startup, we need to control our cash flow, and, rather than bringing in our own software programmers, I’ve used Catalyst in a way that allows us to freeze their activity depending on the stage we’re at.Are there any areas they could improve?We have only positive feedback for them overall. I don’t think I have anything negative to say.Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?We deal with medical and consumer devices, which have very different design approaches. There needs to be a complementary set of skills between those, which is challenging to get. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d recommend Catalyst UX extremely highly. I’m glad we chose them. --- #### Portal Design & Dev for Fuel POS Company **The Project** - Services: UX/UI Design - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Aug. - Nov. 2018 **Project Summary**: Unosquare, LLC (formerly Catalyst UX) designed and developed a portal for a POS technology company’s platform.

We chose Catalyst UX for two reasons: first, they had a vision for how they’d develop a set of reusable components; second, our engineers were more knowledgeable on the server-side, and Catalyst UX had the supplementary resources necessary to help with implementation.How did you come to work with Catalyst UX?Throughout our work together, my team worked with 6–7 individuals. Some of them worked on the technical side, and some were designers. Paul (Managing Partner, Catalyst UX) was involved from an oversight level.How much have you invested with them?My former company spent around $200,000.What is the status of this engagement?We began working with Catalyst UX in early 2013, and the engagement was still ongoing when I left my company in April 2019. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?Their work was well-received by our clients and prospects.How did Catalyst UX perform from a project management standpoint?They were mostly good in this regard. When we had tight deadlines, they put in extra effort to meet them. For instance, we needed to get a demo to an important client under short notice. Catalyst UX got us a clickable prototype in time for the demo.Sometimes, I think their designers were over-allocated and not as responsive as they should’ve been. Our sprints often didn’t have a defined scope or assigned number of hours; once, a designer used up hours we weren’t aware of. When we addressed this issue, Paul returned some hours to us.What did you find most impressive about them?Their designs were great. The team was very collaborative; if we weren’t happy with something, they worked with us to fix it.Are there any areas they could improve?As I mentioned, there could’ve been more clarity in the billing process. They didn’t give us time sheets, which left us a bit uncertain as to how much work they did.Any advice for potential customers?They’re all good, but some of their team members are more senior than others. Be aware of the seniority level of the person you’re working with; also, try to get as much clarity as you can regarding the sprints. I felt that the sprints should’ve been defined by either a deliverable or a set number of hours. --- #### UI/UX Design for Aviation Company **The Project** - Services: UX/UI Design - Project size: $200,000 to $999,999 - Project length: Jan. 2018 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Unosquare, LLC (formerly Catalyst UX) provided UI/UX design services to help make a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capability more user-friendly. They used an agile approach. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Former VP of Logistics Products Services, Aviation Company - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 501-1,000 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jun 27, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: In addition to being high-caliber, Unosquare, LLC's (formerly Catalyst UX's) work often outpaced time and budget estimates. They facilitated an effortless partnership, collaborating well with an offshore development team and providing frequent progress updates. The team was receptive to user feedback. "“Unosquare, LLC (formerly Catalyst UX) was a true extension of our internal team.”" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there.The company I previously worked at is a global provider of information management software and services for defense, government, and commercial customers. We were acquired to provide world-class maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities for a large aviation company’s $20 billion annual operations. I was the VP of Logistics Products Services (LPS), the company’s commercial software division. I was responsible for all product development, maintenance, and operations, as well as defining a vision for next-generation MRO capabilities in a very competitive market. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Catalyst UX?As with many mature companies, we lacked innovative and accessible software tools. We needed to outsource a fresh and objective perspective to define the most user-friendly enterprise MRO capability that contemporary users, specifically the aviation company’s installation mechanic workforce, could easily deploy without much training.What were your goals for this project?The new MRO capability needed to vastly simplify the UX while maintaining the complex legacy capability. We wanted to add enterprise and cyber security skins so that our existing users could keep their original look, while new users could enjoy a more progressive UX. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?Catalyst UX took an agile approach in their redesign of the new MRO capability’s UX and UI. My team interfaced directly with our end users, and we provided that feedback to Catalyst UX. They coded how the UI would flow.While Catalyst UX worked on the frontend, my company hired an offshore vendor to do the backend development and other coding.What is the team composition?The teams on both sides scaled depending on the effort at hand. Our internal (parallel) team had a lead technical manager with supporting managers in the following disciplines: product data management, software development, and hardware.  Catalyst UX provided a technical manager for leadership and scaled various resources dependent upon tasking, which included software developers, UI experts, and process and human factors specialists.How did you come to work with Catalyst UX?My company underwent an exhaustive and meticulous vendor selection process for this strategic effort. We initially chose over one dozen vendors, then did due diligence and compared financial and performance reviews to narrow the selection down to three. After more matrix comparisons and numerous discussions, Catalyst UX was the clear leader and preferred vendor.How much have you invested with them?My company spent somewhere in the range of $250,000–$500,000.What is the status of this engagement?The work with Catalyst UX began in January 2018. Although I left my company in March 2019, their work with Catalyst UX is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?We primarily tracked the quality of Catalyst UX’s work and their ability to adhere to the schedules and budgets, as this ultimately affected our delivery schedule. They were considerably on or under budget for each of their estimations, and their deliverables were top-quality.How did Catalyst UX perform from a project management standpoint?They did exceptionally well in this regard. Catalyst UX’s entire team, even the CEO, was very responsive to the user feedback we collected, and they thoroughly explained their decisions. They interacted daily with our development team. We also had weekly team meetings, during which we received project updates and saw feature demonstrations. Each month, Catalyst UX provided financial accounting and status reports. They traveled as necessary.What did you find most impressive about them?The overall goal was very complex, but Catalyst UX delivered on or under budget and schedule for each milestone leading toward this capability. Having worked with many vendors, it was nice to work with a team that delivered on what they said they would. They didn’t make excuses or try to upsell. Catalyst UX was a true extension of our internal team.Are there any areas they could improve?It would’ve been helpful if they had more aviation expertise, although perhaps their lack thereof gave them a fresh perspective. Aviation’s maintenance repair overhaul ecosystem is very different from other fields they’ve probably worked in, like pharma or finance. --- #### Web App Redesign for Pharmaceutical Tech **The Project** - Services: UX/UI Design - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: June - Nov. 2015 **Project Summary**: Unosquare, LLC (formerly Catalyst UX) redesigned a web application’s UI. After learning about a niche industry, they worked through many iterations to deliver data management features and mobile compatibility.   **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** CTO, OmniComm Systems - Industry: Information technology - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Jun 25, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: The rereleased app has achieved commercial success and wide market adoption. Unosquare, LLC (formerly Catalyst UX) was a committed partner, integrating multiple rounds of feedback and developing their own original ideas for product improvement. Their development background and cost-effectiveness are particularly noteworthy. ""They worked hard to understand our industry and were proactive in proposing solutions..." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there.I’m the CTO of OmniComm Systems, a leading supplier of web-based technology that allows pharmaceutical companies to collect and manage data for clinical trials. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Catalyst UX?While functionally rich, our lead product looked dated and didn't support mobile devices. A UI redesign was the first step in what became a three-year project to bring a fresh new release to market.What were your goals for this project?We set out to improve the UX and add targeted new functionality and mobile device compatibility. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor?We surveyed the market, developed a shortlist of three vendors, and asked for a capabilities presentation and price quote from each. We selected Catalyst UX based on their expertise, energy, and experience with healthcare applications.Describe the project in detail.We reviewed the current application and its functionality and then drilled down into the major areas we wanted to rewrite: navigation, patient selection, data entry, and data query management. For each area, we discussed ideas and required functionality and then waited for a proposed UI and workflow. We iterated about three times on each proposal before all participants were happy. We convened twice a week by web conference, and all work was done remotely.What was the team composition?We had a team of three. Paul (CEO, Catalyst UX) was the key driver in understanding our very specialized industry and proposing elegant solutions. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?The redesigned product was released in May 2018 and has been a significant commercial success. All new trials use the new release because it looks so much better than the old one.How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?You have to work at it. Catalyst can't propose a suitable solution until they fully understand the intricacies of the desired functionality. As mentioned above, we'd typically work on each topic three times to make sure nothing was missed or skipped over.What did you find most impressive about this company?They worked hard to understand our industry and were proactive in proposing solutions—a responsive layout for the main data entry page—even if we didn’t specifically ask about that area. Though we didn’t use their development arm, knowing that they had one convinced us that we could cleanly implement their UI. They were conscious about staying within budget.Are there any areas for improvement?Nothing significant. --- #### IT Managed Services for Mortgage Company **The Project** - Services: IT Managed Services, IT Staff Augmentation - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Aug. 2024 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: A mortgage company has hired unosquare, LLC to provide managed IT services.

In fact there are nine ways we typically help our clients. See nine ways we’ve worked with clients to refresh their UX. From digital transformation to developing a unified ux design system, we’ve got you covered. ### Project with Talkoot ### Project with Cambia Health ### Project with Neustar ### Catalyst UX is the Leading Medical & Life Science Design Firm Over the past 25 years, we have worked with leaders and emerging innovators in medical and life sciences to deliver medical devices and diagnostics, improve lab management, collaborate with the FDA on drug development applications, and we've even produced software applications for medical providers and payers. ### Drug Development With respect to UX for drug development, design thinking practices can be applied in everything from clinical trial design to manufacturing and packaging. The ultimate goal is to accelerate the rate of discovery and the effectiveness of the investments being made. At Catalyst UX, we’ve worked on everything from molecular kinetics for evaluating individual molecules to full drug FDA drug study designs. ### Medical Devices and Diagnostics Our team has expertise in UI/UX for advanced medical devices, medical instrument and diagnostic solutions. No matter how effective your solution is, if the user interface is not easy to use, the end-user may never derive the results of the device or be able to use it in the time required. Recognizing this, Catalyst UX uses its experience in creating intuitive user interfaces for medical devices to deliver the finest user experience. ### Laboratory Science Catalyst UX has worked on many initiatives to leverage user experience design in laboratory science to drive efficiency and effectiveness of researchers and technicians. We’ve worked on applications to deliver efficient solutions for everything from blood testing to environmental testing. ### Advancing The Management Of Cardiovascular Disease Cardiologists and patients need to keep track of many indicators when assessing someone’s health as it relates to a heart condition. With all of this information, it can be overwhelming to show and monitor the most critical factors in a way that patient’s can easily consume. Catalyst UX designed a digital solution to track and visually display the critical information a patient and their doctor need to manage heart-related conditions. The incorporation of graphs, charts and videos allows for more consumable information. ### A Family of Diagnostic Instruments, One UX Design System Catalyst has provided UX research design and development to provide a consistent experience across the Roche product line of tissue diagnostic instruments, desktop and mobile applications. The Roche product line assists histotechs in laboratories across the globe to test patient tissues for cancer. The redesigned, unified system ensures more accuracy and faster processing of the test tissues for better patient outcomes. ### Fueling Business With Predictive Analytics Catalyst UX worked with PDI on the design of a highly efficient user interface for ordering, scheduling and delivering fuel. Our client, PDI, is the leader in enterprise management for convenience and retail petroleum distribution capability across the globe. When delivery of fuel is requested, PDI uses predictive analytics to schedule and optimize delivery. The design included drag and drop features that allow the user to apply the correct fuel order to the correct truck and location as well as hazmat certified approved routes for each drop. Overall this design made it easier and more efficient to order and schedule fuel delivery. ### Making Cities & Campuses Safer ShotSpotter is the global leader in gunshot detection, location and forensic analysis. Previously Catalyst UX worked with ShotSpotter on designing and developing their mobile and IOS applications which leverage audio triangulation pinpoints and machine learning algorithms to notify first responders, security personnel and law enforcement of gunshot incidents. In a second project, shown here, ShotSpotter asked for help in ensuring Experts in their Incident Review Center would have no downtime. To do this, Catalyst designed a UI that would be responsive from several monitors down to one. The UI incorporated audio as well as visuals of the gunshot sensor triangulation on a map. The use of multiple types of audio and visual devices and the responsive UI equipped analysts with the tools they needed under any situation. ### Unified Responsive Design System Across a Suite of Financial Applications Altisource, a leader in providing services and technology for the mortgage and real estate industries, needed a complete digital solution for their suite of applications. Catalyst provided a unified, responsive design system that was applied across multiple applications and provided a consistent experience across multiple devices. ### Catalyst Designed a Leading Global Event Management System Priava is one of the leading providers of a comprehensive event and venue management solution. Catalyst designed and developed a unified UX design system that enabled Priava to update over 300 views to be responsive and mobile accessible. ### Monitoring Data Centers Across the Globe Digital Realty’s global ecosystem of data centers, colocation and interconnection strategies powers customer growth for some of the biggest technology brands. Catalyst worked with Digital Realty to provide a highly effective portal that enabled companies like Apple, Microsoft, LinkedIn and Salesforce to manage and monitor their centers remotely. ### Digital Transformation of the Vehicle Fueling Experience Gilbarco Veeder-Root (GVR) represents the leading brand of solutions and technologies that provide fuel management systems, convenience, control and environmental integrity for retail fueling. In an effort to open their digital retail fueling products to developers at large, Catalyst helped GVR create a retail fueling app solution allowing developers to submit their apps and retailers to schedule and display these apps on fueling displays world-wide. ### Project with Visa ### Project with Applied Biosystems UX/UI design for Applied Biosystems. ### Project with ADP ### Project with American Express UX/UI design for American Express. ### Project with Siemens ### Project with SAP ### Clutch Awards - [Clutch Award Badge](https://shareables-prod-static.clutch.co/badges/top_clutch.co_software_developers_portland_2026.svg) - [Clutch Award Badge](https://shareables-prod-static.clutch.co/badges/top_clutch.co_user_experience_company_vancouver_2026.svg) ### Industry Recognitions - 10 Years on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing List ## Key Clients - Axos Financial, Green Dot Bank, GTreasury, G2 Risk Solutions and Blue Owl Private Equity - Stitch Fix and IDX - Harvard and McGraw Hill - Athena Health and Foundation Medicine - Groundworks ## Packages ## Verification Clutch verification provides an additional layer of data to help you make the right purchasing decision of business services. - Verified Client Reviews: 38 - Overall Review Rating: 4.9 Last Updated: 2026-07-03T12:59:09Z ### Business Entity - Business Entity Name: Unosquare, LLC - Source: SilverFlume Nevada's Business Portal - Jurisdiction of Formation: Nevada - Date of Formation: December 11, 2009 - Status: Active - Last Updated: November 16, 2023 - ID: E0632932009-8 ### Credit Report Results - International Credit Risk Assessment: Moderate Risk - Source: Creditsafe - Last Updated: January 1, 2022 ## Locations (3) ### Portland, OR (Headquarters) - 10260 SW Greenburg Road, Suite 400 - Portland, OR 97223 - United States - 10 - 15 employees - Phone: +1 (503)-293-3549 ### Guadalajara, Mexico - Av.
