Grinteq

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive at NexDevTech, an IT company. We partner with businesses to deliver full-cycle software development, leveraging senior talent and AI-driven processes for efficient, predictable, and cost-effective product solutions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Grinteq?

We had a client who needed a cross-platform mobile app with AI-powered features.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We hired Grinteq to design and develop the full solution from start to finish. The tricky part was making the AI actually useful and not just bolted on. Grinteq built a system that pulls data from our API endpoints, learns what users care about, and shows them relevant information automatically. It sounds simple, but the architecture behind it is what made it work.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Grinteq.

How did you come to work with Grinteq?

We found them through a referral. We selected Grinteq because they had strong experience in cross-platform mobile development and clearly understood how to approach the AI part of the project. Their communication was also straightforward, and they showed they could handle the project end to end.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from January 2026–March 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We got a fully functional app in just 10 weeks that actually works. The AI features feel natural; users get relevant content without having to search for it. The whole thing is stable enough to launch and scale. Plus, we can easily maintain and improve it ourselves because everything is well documented.

How did Grinteq perform from a project management standpoint?

Grinteq’s project management was well organized. We had weekly syncs, and they delivered milestones on time. The team stayed responsive throughout the project and was quick to adjust when our needs changed.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Grinteq was technical but not preachy about it. They actually understood what we needed, not just “add AI somewhere,” but how to make the whole system work together so users benefit from it. The documentation was surprisingly detailed; we could actually understand and extend the product ourselves after they handed it off.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’m very happy with the results and would definitely reach out to them again. There’s not much to improve as of now.

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

We needed a Salesforce team to support one of our fintech clients in implementing Salesforce B2B marketing automation, as we lacked this expertise in-house. The goal was to streamline lead management, automate marketing campaigns, and enhance engagement with business clients.

They also integrated Salesforce with our client’s existing systems to ensure smooth data flow and trained the staff on using the new setup.

The Salesforce B2B marketing automation setup helped our client streamline lead management, automate campaigns, and gain better visibility into the sales pipeline. The client reported that their team can now follow up with prospects faster, run more targeted campaigns, and make data-driven decisions. 
Overall, they were very satisfied with the efficiency and clarity the new system brought to their marketing processes. We are also very pleased with the collaboration and the value the Grinteq team delivered to our client.

• Efficiency
• Launch

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

From my experience with Grinteq's resources, they were always very responsive and able to articulate the progress being made or what issues were that really helped our team to be able to understand where things were and how progress needed to be made. Also, while I cannot qualify the quality of the work they did from a technical standpoint I can say that he was always very efficient with his work and seemed like he was able to turn things around quickly without sacrificing quality.

I do think that there were some issues with the solution on the B2B Commerce side but as I understand it, that was more so due to a lack of an articulation of requirements properly from vendors and that once we had new leadership, was able to provide guidance for the resource that helped get things sorted. Not sure if this helps.
