8allocate helped an IT solutions company on one of their UI/UX design projects. They helped design both the front- and backend of an intricate website.

After deploying the website, the end client received positive feedback from potential customers. 8allocate used Figma to facilitate a smooth visualization process and easily incorporate any sudden changes along the way. Their knowledge and technical expertise lived up to expectations, too.

I am the CEO of DigiTeams SA which facilitated the project for the startup AICA Data.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

We searched online and interviewed a number of designers and companies before we selected.

Two designers and the CEO of 8alocate

The website www.aicadata.com is now life and we are receiving positive feedback from potential customers. The backend UI is not with our internal development team.

Figma made the visualisation process really easy. Myself my CTO and the 8alocate team met on a weekly basis, which meant that changes and progress was fast and efficient.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I was impressed with their technical skills and commitment to make a complex project successful.

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

8allocate provides e-commerce development services to an online marketing agency, supporting multiple client projects. They primarily work with a Yii2 PHP framework. The team does DevOps and project management.

8allocate has not been able to address recent challenges to the client’s satisfaction. High turnover and inconsistency have soured a once positive partnership. They could improve their service by showing more commitment to their customer and providing a dedicated contact person. This review is an update by the client company. The original content is located below the new review. The vendor's response is included.

The client submitted this review online.

SOLUTION

What is the status of this engagement?

Ongoing, but projected to end.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

How did your relationship with the vendor evolve?

After a significant fluctuation at 8Allocate the points of contacts we had were not as dedicated: The relationship changed to managing the status quo rather than addressing our current needs.

How did 8allocate address the challenges that arose?

Unfortunately not to our satisfaction. Instead of finding suitable personnel for our team, 8Allocate outsourced the acquisition to subcontractors who did not know our needs.

In what specific areas can they improve?

More commitment to the customer through a consistent contact person.

Company Responses

The vendor responded on February 8, 2022.

We highly appreciate all the reviews from our Сlients, because they help 8allocate to become a better company. For the current review, however, we want to share our view of the situation that is different to what was described in the comment.

The review was changed from 5 stars to 1 star after 8allocate's decision to stop the cooperation with the Client. The decision was very difficult for us because we are very client-centric company, but in the current situation we unfortunately had to deal with multiple cases of unprofessional and unethical behavior concerning 8allocate employees, as well as multiple violations of the contractual obligations for Client's team.

Following the decision to stop cooperation with the Client, 8allocate performed all the obligations related to the termination of the engagement. Despite that, we are still waiting for final payment for the provided services.

Our Story

At 8allocate, we build AI and software the way it is tied to business outcomes, designed to fit existing systems, and delivered with the level of ownership expected from an internal team. Our mission is to help teams integrate and scale AI with integrity, security, and speed. We align on goals, de-risk with a defined roadmap and pilot, and ship iteratively. With 200+ projects behind us, clients value our partnership mindset, transparent execution, and the ability to move quickly. Trusted in FinT

What Sets Us Apart

Proven Internal AI Proficiency

AI is part of our daily workflow: 98% adoption across engineers and 90% across back-office teams. We save 1,000+ hours monthly through AI-enabled automation, so the practices we bring clients are already proven in our own delivery operations.

Сross-Industry AI Expertise, Always Trend-Ready

Our AI engineers deliver solutions across FinTech, EdTech, Logistics, Construction Tech, and more. Every 12 weeks, we upskill in new frameworks, MLOps, and security. We understand which technologies are production-ready vs experimental. This keeps our recommendations pragmatic and business-focused.

Outcome-First AI, Built to Pay Back

We prioritize AI initiatives by business KPIs (cost saved, revenue lift, risk reduction) and map them to measurable AI metrics. Only then we select models, data approach, and architecture. Delivery includes a prioritized roadmap, a de-risked pilot, and a scalable production path focused on payback.

Commonly Asked Questions

We define success upfront with the client and track it across four layers: business impact (time/cost saved, revenue or conversion lift, error reduction), model quality (accuracy, precision/recall, LLM answer quality and grounding), production performance (latency, uptime, cost per request, scalability), and governance (security, auditability, compliance). If it doesn’t improve a real workflow in production with measurable KPIs, it’s not “done.”

Typical timelines: 1-2 weeks for discovery (goals, data/system assessment, architecture, pilot plan), 4-6 weeks for a focused pilot with measurable results, then iterative production rollout depending on integrations and compliance (often 2-6+ additional weeks). We can start with an AI architect or a small specialist group first, then scale to a full team (if required).

We focus on AI solutions development for products and operations, including Generative AI and Agentic AI, as well as data management and analytics. Our expertise includes LLM/RAG assistants over enterprise knowledge, workflow automation for support and operations, predictive ML (forecasting, scoring, anomaly/fraud), AI-ready data and ML platforms (including MLOps), and secure AI integrations into existing business systems. We deliver across FinTech, EdTech, Logistics, ConTech, and other data-heavy domains.

Yes. We share 2-3 relevant case studies aligned with your industry and use case, and can provide references upon client approval. For sensitive domains, we’re comfortable working under NDA and sharing deeper technical details securely.
