They have also implemented analytics, role-based permissions, backend APIs, cloud infrastructure, and the tools required to administer and scale the platform efficiently. Throughout the project, they work closely with us to refine functionality and accommodate evolving business requirements as the product matures.

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 teammates from CodigoDelSur.

How did you come to work with CodigoDelSur?

They were referred to me.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in September 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The project has successfully transformed our concept into a production-ready platform. CodigoDelSur has delivered a fully functional mobile application for iOS and Android, along with a comprehensive administrative portal to manage the platform. They’ve met key development milestones, implemented a scalable cloud architecture, and created a user experience aligned with our vision. Throughout the engagement, they’ve been responsive to evolving requirements and consistently delivered high-quality work that positions us for a successful public launch. While the platform is still in its final stages prior to launch, we’re confident it has established a strong technical foundation that will support future growth and feature expansion.The project is managed using milestone-based deliveries, with regular sprint reviews and demonstrations that allow us to validate progress throughout development. Each major module — including user onboarding, cort management, the administrative portal, AI functionality, and backend services — is delivered, tested, and refined before moving to the next phase. We’ve also conducted extensive internal user acceptance testing, which has resulted in continuous improvements to usability and workflows. By the current stage of the project, the platform is feature complete, stable, and production-ready for launch, providing us with confidence in both the quality of the software and the scalability of the underlying architecture.One of the most important measures of success for us is finding a development partner that genuinely understands our vision and is willing to evolve with us as the product matures. As a startup, our requirements have changed as we’ve validated ideas and refined the user experience. CodigoDelSur has been collaborative throughout that process, providing technical guidance, adapting to changing priorities, and helping us make informed product decisions. Beyond delivering a high-quality platform, they’ve become an extension of our team, which has been invaluable in bringing Corts from concept to a launch-ready product.

How did CodigoDelSur perform from a project management standpoint?

CodigoDelSur manages the project professionally using an agile development approach with regular sprint reviews, status meetings, and transparent communication. The team is highly responsive, easy to work with, and keeps us informed throughout the project. While the overall timeline has evolved as new requirements and refinements have been introduced, they consistently communicate expectations and work collaboratively to prioritize features and address feedback. Their flexibility and willingness to adapt to changing business needs are among the strongest aspects of their project management. Yes, they deliver on time for the agreed-upon sprint deliverables. As with many startup projects, the overall timeline has extended as the product has evolved and additional functionality has been incorporated. Throughout the engagement, CodigoDelSur has remained transparent about timelines and responsive to our changing priorities.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What impresses me most is that CodigoDelSur has become much more than a development vendor; they’ve become a true product partner. They take the time to understand our vision, challenge our thinking with thoughtful technical and product recommendations, and genuinely care about the success of our platform. Their team combines strong engineering expertise with excellent communication, making complex technical decisions easy to understand. Throughout the engagement, they’ve remained collaborative, transparent, and adaptable as our startup has evolved. That level of partnership gives us confidence that we’re building the right product, not just delivering a list of features.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Overall, we’ve had a very positive experience. If I could suggest one area for improvement, it would be spending more time upfront reviewing and challenging an existing product before recommending significant changes. We came to CodigoDelSur with a nearly completed product that had already been designed and developed with another firm. As we worked through discovery and planning, the scope evolved considerably, resulting in substantial additional development time and cost. In the end, many aspects of the final product closely resembled the original platform we had brought to them. Looking back, a more detailed discussion early in the engagement about which elements truly needed to change, which could be retained, and the cost implications of those decisions would have helped us make more informed choices and potentially avoid unnecessary rework.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Nowadays, the infrastructure consists of the Simetra environment (hosted on Simetra’s servers), which is currently used by users, and the Azure cloud, which hosts the meditation audios and the database. In addition, CodigoDelSur has added two new environments in Amy’s Azure Cloud, replicas of the Simetra environment: Staging Legacy and Production Legacy. Both include the backend API and the admin portal. The main objective of the Production Legacy environment is to replace the environment hosted on Simetra's servers once the required changes to the Maui code have been made and a new iOS build has been released. The main objective of the Staging Legacy environment is to provide a non-impact environment where everything can be properly tested before being promoted to the Production Legacy environment.

Following tasks: General tests of the Production & Staging Legacy environment with the app Create a new version of the legacy iOS app pointing to the new Production Legacy env Publish the new version in the App Store New app strategy definition Create the new backend API (Node) Create the new app for Android (React Native) Create the new app for iOS (React Native)

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Working with Codigo del Sur has been a genuinely positive experience from start to finish. They are reliable, prompt, and bring a collaborative spirit to every stage of the process. What sets them apart is their ability to approach challenges with real creative problem-solving — they don't just execute, they think. I always felt like they were as invested in the outcome as I was. I would recommend them without hesitation.

What was your primary form of communication with CodigoDelSur?

Virtual Meeting

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

What impressed me most was their ability to blend reliability with genuine creativity. Many teams offer one or the other — Codigo del Sur delivers both. They listened carefully, responded quickly, and when unexpected challenges arose, they found solutions that were thoughtful and innovative rather than just getting by. That combination of professionalism and creative thinking is rare, and it made the entire experience feel like a true partnership.

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

"Honestly, no notes. This was my first project that actually delivered — I had worked with two other companies prior that did not follow through, so I came in with high expectations and a fair amount of caution. Codigo Del Sur exceeded both. Communication was clear and consistent throughout, and their follow-through was impeccable. I have no areas for improvement to offer — they simply did the job, and did it well.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CodigoDelSur?

We inherited a website reskin project from a former team and needed developers to quickly finish the project.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

CodigoDelSur has been helping us finish our website reskin project. The team has been fully developing pages with a full reskin and moving them over to Sanity v3 in the process from v2. CodigoDelSur has migrated about half of the pages, including the resources section, the blog, the comparison pages, and the guides. The blog has been a huge project in itself.

What is the team composition?

We’ve been working with 2–5 members of CodigoDelSur’s team.

How did you come to work with CodigoDelSur?

A coworker referred CodigoDelSur to me. I chose them because they were close to our time zones, their pricing fit our budget, they had a great culture fit, they were able to easily pivot when needed, and they offered good value for the cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with CodigoDelSur in August 2025, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

CodigoDelSur has finished a massive amount of our website reskin project within two months. We want the reskin to be finished across all pages, with ongoing improvements to the overall site afterward. Although it’s too early to tell the impact on site performance or user experience after the reskin and migration are completed, CodigoDelSur has been able to complete the project 50% faster than our previous developers. The team has done more with the hours spent than previous teams.In general, CodigoDelSur’s ability to solve seemingly impossible legacy issues has made functionality much better. The team has been able to find workarounds for features that were removed in v3 and always suggests improvements where we don’t know the answer ourselves, which I appreciate. CodigoDelSur has improved the efficiency of other teams working within Sanity at the same time, enabling fast content updates, more options available, and the ability to incorporate custom code into blog posts and enhance them faster for the SEO team.

How did CodigoDelSur perform from a project management standpoint?

CodigoDelSur delivers on time and is very upfront and communicative about where they are in the project. We meet every day to give updates on both sides, and they keep a Notion board updated at all times.

What did you find most impressive or unique about them?

CodigoDelSur is incredibly agile. As a SaaS company, we have a lot of changes coming our way and a lot of quick fixes to do. CodigoDelSur is able to pivot easily whenever needed and quickly find solutions to problems.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the COO of a tech startup. We’re building a fintech money-saving app. Our company is based in the US, but we have teams in the UK and Australia.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CodigoDelSur?

We needed help with the majority of our app build. We’d done some of it with our internal team, but it was more than we could do in the timeframe we wanted. We were specifically looking for agencies experienced with React Native. We had a few other tech requirements; we wanted to use Cloudflare and LambdaTest.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

After we selected CodigoDelSur, two team members went to their headquarters and spent a week with them in person to scope out the requirements and kick off the project.

They’ve been able to do everything we want. They work remotely.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 8–10 teammates. Their COO has been in contact with us throughout the entire project; we initially spoke to them. We’ve also had a project manager throughout the engagement and someone above them to touch base with when needed, like an account manager.

Additionally, we’ve worked with five different developers and currently have three. We’re shifting around now; some people will soon be coming on for QA and other things. When we remove someone from the team, it's purely because we’re done with that part of the project, not due to any problems.

How did you come to work with CodigoDelSur?

We initially came across Clutch through Google. We had other agency recommendations, but after initial conversations, we didn’t feel the right fit for the technologies we were trying to use.

When we came across Clutch, we looked at and contacted 5–6 agencies worldwide. CodigoDelSur jumped out to us as the best fit.

They quickly got back to us and set up those initial meetings. The whole process was smooth; we provided them with the initial documentation and what we tried to achieve. We had a quick turnaround from them; they presented other projects they’d work on, which made us feel comfortable about choosing them. Overall, they went above and beyond to deliver what we needed.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $200,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been communicating with them since July 2023, but we officially kicked off the project in September 2023. We’re currently a couple of months away from finishing the project, but we’ll likely continue the relationship in a support role to develop further features.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Specific metrics are probably tricky. Moreover, we measure if we’re satisfied, progressing, and developing things that will add value to the product. We don’t hold CodigoDelSur to delivering something on a specific day or how long it takes. We know it’s a complex product, so we try to keep it as flexible as possible on all sides.

In general, CodigoDelSur has been excellent. They implement any changes we ask for without questions; they’re just happy to accommodate anything we want. They’ve also worked with a few developers on our side and integrated with them as well.

Overall, we haven’t had any issues. If there’s ever any question on what we should do or which way we should go, there’s always an amicable agreement. They tell us they can do it if that’s how we want to do it, and then they move forward with the project.

How did CodigoDelSur perform from a project management standpoint?

Our project is a bit strange, so we’ve kept it quite flexible. We run the project in two-week sprints and do demos at the end of every two weeks, and CodigoDelSur has generally met those targets.

Sometimes, we’ve pushed back the targets a little, but it’s mainly due to the complexity of what we’re working on, so we need more time. We’ve also changed some parts of the project, which has caused some delays. However, it isn’t due to something CodigoDelSur has done. We usually ask them to take a slightly different approach after we’ve developed and tested something.

We’ve only spent more than our initial budget because we’ve expanded the project scope. We’ve grown the project into further areas, and they’ve requested to push back some demos a few days because they want them to be right before they show them. We've been flexible if they need an extra 1–2 days because we know we’re running for several months more anyway. A few days here and there don’t kill anything. Other than that, CodigoDelSur has generally hit all deadlines.

They haven’t spent time or money we didn’t ask them to spend. They’re accommodating when we want to scale back a little, and when we want to scale up, we add people back to the team.

We initially didn’t have a fixed budget because we knew it would be a long, complex project. We didn’t know where we’d end up until we started, so we went into it being quite realistic. We didn’t want to go in saying we could do it in four months for $100,000 because we knew it probably wouldn’t be the case. It would’ve been nice, but we’re coming up on 8–9 months since September. We now think we should be ready in under a year, and we’re still within our target dollar range. We’re probably past the low point but not over what we projected to be the high point, so we’re quite happy.

We have 3–4 Zoom calls a week. We also use Slack daily and communicate through emails and occasional phone calls, but we mainly use Zoom.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Lucía (Commercial Manager) is the most senior person we’ve dealt with, and she’s been fantastic throughout the project. She organizes everything we need when we need it — whether it’s our in-person visit or whether we need to add or remove someone from the team.

Also, Facundo (IT Project Manager) is our daily manager. Whenever we message him, he responds immediately. I have personal Zoom calls with him 3–4 times a week.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’ve been outstanding in all areas. The team meets all of our demands, even when they’re somewhat unrealistic. We have extensive discussions to find a solution when we request changes partway through a certain development path because we realize that we need to move in a different direction, but they’re always incredibly flexible and accommodating, even with different time zones.

CodigoDelSur is in South America, so they accommodate all the different time zones, even if it’s not a particularly convenient time for them. Overall, they just go above and beyond.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We haven’t been disappointed with anything. Some parts could have gone quicker, but we know we’ve given them things that slow them down. It’s been a big learning curve, and CodigoDelSur has handled everything well. The communication has been outstanding, so we can’t complain about anything. Something always comes up when there’s a problem, so we can’t really blame anyone for technical issues. These things happen, but we work through everything together as a team.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

CodigoDelSur has said they like that we’re engaged in the project. I have Zoom calls with the project manager and developers 3–4 times a week, so I’m in direct communication with them and not just the project managers. The more directly involved you are, the more successful the relationship will be, and the better you’ll understand each other’s communication styles.

I’ve had a lot of experience working with people in many different countries, and you should always give credit to people who speak more than one language. CodigoDelSur’s first language is Spanish, and they all speak fantastic English. However, English isn’t their first language, so sometimes translation gets lost.

CodigoDelSur hasn’t told me specifically about other projects, but they’ve mentioned that some people send an email and walk away; they want the team to figure it out. This is not to say that CodigoDelSur needs to be micromanaged, but it’s up to you to keep the project on track and on time and get what you want out of it. If you talk to people daily, you can quickly catch any time there’s a tiny mistake because you’re involved.

In our case, it doesn’t take a considerable amount of our time. We probably communicate with them about an hour or less every day. Moreover, we think it has massively improved the project’s outcome because CodigoDelSur knows exactly what we want daily; they don’t have to guess what we want.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the director of operations at an early-stage startup that makes mobile applications that use AI for athletic improvement. Right now, we have one app available on the market. The way our app works, is users fill in their golf swing, and the AI analyzes the swing and points out errors to fix their swing. 

We're a very small team, and I handle a lot of different operations of the company, including day-to-day operations, HR functions, managing work with vendors and contractors, and marketing assistance.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CodigoDelSur?

We needed a company to provide software developers. We had a huge undertaking and needed additional resources, but not for a long enough time period to hire a full-time employee. We sought CodigoDelSur to hire a contractor through their agency.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We've hired developers through CodigoDelSur to work on our iOS apps. We also needed support to finish a big project. We've hired a mobile developer through CodigoDelSur who works remotely from Argentina. The primary expertise we required from contractors was experience using Swift and TensorFlow, which is how AI works in the Apple ecosystem. We also needed contractors with five or more years of experience. 

What is the team composition?

Lucía (Commercial Manager) has been our primary point of contact and manages client relationships. We've also worked with Nicolas (CEO & Founder). 

How did you come to work with CodigoDelSur?

We found CodigoDelSur through a Google search. We were looking for offshore agencies that worked within the Eastern time zone and contacted the team through their website. Initially, we contacted various agencies and asked to speak with the contractors directly.

We did a first round of interviews with the individual contractors and then a second in-depth technical interview after that initial phone screen with our tech department. After that, we did a final logistics call with the contractor. We then wrote the agreement with CodigoDelSur and established an hourly rate and timeline for the project.
How much have you invested with them?

We've spent around $100,000 on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with CodigoDelSur in April 2023, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The contractor working with us has been great at working with our team and providing knowledge about the used technologies, which has been helpful for our project. CodigoDelSur delivers high-quality work. 

How did CodigoDelSur perform from a project management standpoint?

We have a sprint cycle as part of our project management and have specific points and metrics that we're looking to meet every sprint. The developer working with us has knocked it out of the park. They ensure they hit our required metrics or tickets per sprint, which is great. CodigoDelSur meets deadlines and is efficient.

The contractor is integrated into our internal team's communication channels, including Slack, daily stand-up calls, and other ad hoc calls to work through issues. We also have a Jira board for project management.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Lucía has been great about being available. At one point, we wrapped up work with the contractor and immediately opened up a role. Lucía reached out to us a week later to let us know the same contractor was available and immediately got on the phone to work out the new arrangement. We ended up bringing the same contractor a week later, which was funny.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The most impressive thing about this project was finding a developer with the specific skill set we needed who performed at the required level and exceeded our expectations. We had pretty high standards and interviewed probably more than 100 contractors for this role. We've been very impressed by the contractor we've worked with through CodigoDelSur and the relationship we've built. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

The only thing to note is that CodigoDelSur's prices are in the high range of what you would expect from offshore contractors. The quality is there, and I understand why the price is high. This isn't necessarily a negative thing, just something to note.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I suggest following the process we've followed and interviewing the individual contractors. That's my best advice for anyone looking to hire outsourcing resources. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the global director of technology at Caravela Coffee.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CodigoDelSur?

We needed software development support on Ruby on Rails. We were looking for a business partner more than a supplier. Someone with whom our company felt supported and a provider that wasn't limited only to software development but would also provide us with ideas to improve our development process with high-quality standards. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

CodigoDelSur has supported us to continue a software development project in Ruby on Rails. We had already started the software development, and it took some time for CodigoDelSur to get to know the initiated project. The team lasted a month to understand our business process. Afterward, CodigoDelSur understood how the software operates and worked in sprints and Agile methodology. CodigoDelSur has added functionalities to our software and is in charge of our entire platform.

CodigoDelSur has also developed websites for our company, using Laravel, PHP, JavaScript, and PostgreSQL. We provide the design mock-ups and explain functionality, and CodigoDelSur is responsible for front- and backend development.

What is the team composition?

We work with a project manager from CodigoDelSur who manages each project individually. We've also worked with two software developers.

How much have you invested with them?

We've invested $15,000 in the web development project.

How did you come to work with CodigoDelSur?

We searched for service providers in Google to help with our in-house software development and found CodigoDelSur. The team was part of a selection process in which we contacted and validated references. We reached companies that had previously worked with Ruby on Rails and evaluated their ability to respond to eventualities, such as if a developer falls ill.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with CodigoDelSur at the beginning of 2022, and our engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The project's results are seen in the efficiency and continuity of our software development project. Ruby on Rails is a language that not many companies know, and it's difficult to find a developer who wants to dedicate themselves to developing for a company that isn't dedicated to software. CodigoDelSur has generated a lot of wealth for us because we've continued our software development without interruptions. 

I want to congratulate the entire CodigoDelSur team because the project's success is thanks to their teamwork. In the company I work for, we've had the opportunity to work with many service providers, and I've found a true business ally in CodigoDelSur. I feel calm working with the team, which has helped me resolve several bottlenecks. 

Sometimes, developers get sick or go on vacation, and CodigoDelSur always has a teammate to cover for them without affecting the development performance or software quality. CodigoDelSur is a serious and efficient service provider that fulfills their promises. 

If we talk about costs, CodigoDelSur's prices are competitive compared to those of other development companies. Having a development partner like CodigoDelSur that manages our core projects and ensures quality has generated a lot of value for our company and reduced downtime. 

How did CodigoDelSur perform from a project management standpoint?

We have daily 15-minute meetings with CodigoDelSur. The team documents tasks and updates their status, showing an organized work approach. We're always aware of what CodigoDelSur is working on, and there isn't room for surprises. We've used Microsoft Planner for project management and are migrating to GitLab. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

CodigoDelSur could improve the software QA process. We've found improvement opportunities, and I think having a teammate from CodigoDelSur who is only dedicated to ensuring the quality of the software and not the developers themselves could improve the deliverables' quality. CodigoDelSur's deliverables are very good, but this could improve development efficiency.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I recommend sharing your business model before starting the development project. When the developers understand the business process behind the product they're developing, they can generate much more value than when they only execute directions.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an independent contractor who was consulting for an end client that worked with CodigoDelSur. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with CodigoDelSur?

The company I was working with was developing a device with e-paper technology. We were looking to connect professional document manager services to the digital paper tablet. We brought CodigoDelSur in to create a proof-of-concept application. Our goal was to take this proof-of-concept app and introduce it to professional document service companies. We wanted to use the application to demonstrate how we could easily integrate their services with a digital paper tablet. 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

The team was responsible for developing a proof-of-concept app that connected to Dropbox and interfaced with the device to enable documents to be transferred. The app was built for Android and connected with existing firmware on the device. 

What is the team composition?

We worked with a business development manager, a project manager, and two engineers. 

How did you come to work with CodigoDelSur?

I was cold-calling Android developers. After speaking with multiple companies, I was directed towards CodigoDelSur. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The development occurred between June–August 2023. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

My end client is in the middle of running a campaign that includes the proof of concept app. CodigoDelSur’s work has allowed the end client to demonstrate that what they're doing is possible and not just talk. 

How did CodigoDelSur perform from a project management standpoint?

I was impressed with their whole team; they were organized in their approach and always on top of the ball. We had daily stand-ups, which we appreciated because they always kept us up-to-date. We used Zoom and another chat platform to communicate. CodigoDelSur worked within timelines and, for the most part, stayed on budget. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

CodigoDelSur's engineers were great, and we had no issues with communication. They were patient when we had to pause the project, flexible, and efficient. We also appreciated their willingness to work on a smaller project and be so dedicated to it. CodigoDelSur was responsive and transparent throughout the process. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing I can come up with at this point. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I’d recommend anyone work with CodigoDelSur if the work is in their wheelhouse.
