Qualitative Feedback
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Merixstudio has been phenomenal throughout the entire process - from idea inception to the actual launch of the application. They met our every need and went above and beyond to ensure we were meeting the expectations of our end users. In addition to delivering items on time, Merix managed to deliver items that were not even in their original scope or planned workstreams. To demonstrate this, I have two examples:
Our internal development team quickly realized that we did not have the bandwidth to take on all of the backend development required due to unexpected complexities. Merixstudio quickly worked with us to address the problem, which involved bringing on a backend engineer to create a microservice and develop the feature himself. This ensured we incorporated a critical feature at launch.
As we approached the launch of our product, our internal team ran into consistent issues with the application deployment. This put us at grave risk of missing our deadline and launch date. Despite this not being part of their job description, the entire Merix team went above and beyond to provide as much troubleshooting support as possible to our team, even though it often required answering late and long troubleshooting sessions.
We are extraordinarily grateful for their support, as we would not have launched on time without them.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The team's dedication and commitment is unmatched. They care - and it shows. They want to do everything in their power to ensure they are helping build a valuable and useful product. Additionally, I love the varying skillsets and perspectives represented on the Merixstudio team that we work with. It ensures that we address and discuss all nuances and complexities and think through ever component carefully. I therefore can be confident that we have thought through all edge cases when we launch a feature.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Merixstudio could have done differently?
I have been extraordinarily happy with our collaboration with Merixstudio and am thrilled to continue our relationship as we expand our product offerings. Throughout our time working together, we have realized that the experience of both teams can be improved by streamlining our communication flow, such as aligning on overlapping working hours (due to time zone differences) and over-documenting all decisions.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
The original project was focused on implementing a new version of an existing product, including minor improvements to existing designs, all frontend development, and substantial backend development, all including quality assurance testing. The most important deliverable was working code, deployed in the production-ready environment.
Subsequent to the successful relaunch, Merixstudio supported additional feature design and development with a focus on frontend development. Their UI/UX designers worked out new concepts for several customer facing features, and the frontend development team built out these features, while taking into account ongoing maintenance of the codebase.

Merixstudio has built a software for a biomechanics and engineering company's in-house researchers. They also continue to work on a hardware product software and help develop 2D and 3D visualizations.
The client has been extremely pleased with their ongoing partnership with Merixstudio. The team adds value to the client's business and has talented designers and software developers who provide top-notch work. In addition, they have a remarkable ability to iterate multiple times for lower cost. This review is an update by the client company. The original content is located below the new review.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and position.
I am the Senior Software Developer of Biocore
Introduce your business and what you do there. Biocore is a biomechanics and engineering company that performs research and consulting services for professional sports leagues. Our work is based around injury reduction using analysis, machine learning, AI, computational modeling, and testing of safety equipment for professional sports.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address? We originally engaged with Merixstudio to work with our instrumented mouthguard team to create a software for our in-house researchers and facilitate their review process. After releasing the software, it cut the amount of time for our researchers to review data by 5x.
We then engaged them on another software around a hardware product called the BEAST (Biocore Extreme Athlete Surface Tester) that is used in professional football to test stadium surfaces/pitches to ensure they are optimized for safety and performance. That project has been ongoing for about 2 years now and continues to evolve and grow as we have been able to add more value to our client by expanding the scope of the original software project.
One of the big challenges with the BEAST project was based around how to visualize the data coming off of the hardware system. Merixstudio helped us develop both 2D and 3D visualizations of the sports fields to assist field managers in understanding the data and how it relates to their field surfaces.
Additionally, the software has been expanded to evolve what is currently a very manual and cumbersome process of field certification to one that is much easier to manage where data can be entered into the software on a tablet while measurements are taken on the field.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement and team dynamic? Merixstudio has been involved in the UI/UX, design and front-end software development of all of our projects with them. The personnel from all the teams we've worked with have been incredible. The teams we work with have evolved over time due to the nature of the projects, at times adding more personnel as we accelerate development or having to replace team members as their team members have been promoted for doing great work.
Our experience with all of them has been exceptional. Merixstudio has always provided us with great talent in designers and software developers. They've truly been great collaborators in all we've done with them. What's the status of this engagement? This engagement is ongoing and will most likely last through March of 2025 if not beyond.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
How did your relationship with Merixstudio evolve? We've now been working with Merixstudio on three different projects. Their outstanding work with our projects has allowed us to introduce them to one of our clients who is now working with them directly on other projects based on what they saw of the projects Merixstudio did for us. In what ways can Merixstudio improve? I've worked with a number of different software agencies in my 25 years in the industry including a number of those that are remote/overseas. I've never had a better experience than I have in working with Merixstudio either domestically or with another offshore/remote company.
They've provided a huge value to our company as well as our clients in every project we've brought to them. It's why we continue to do business with them. I can't think of a single area that I would say they can improve in regarding how we work together. What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours? When we went through our RFP process, we looked at quite a few domestic options for this work, a large multi-national company, and Merixstudio. Merixstudio won the contest hands-down, not only for their design and UX expertise but the fact that we could iterate 2-3 more times with them as we could with the other companies we looked at.
As software is an iterative process and you never get everything perfectly right, that ability to iterate multiple times for lower cost has been instrumental in allowing us to make the progress we have on our projects. They've proven themselves to be very flexible in their work with us. At times, things shift very quickly and they've always been willing to work with us as our projects have changed and evolved. Merixstudio is an incredible team to work with and will help your product succeed.

Project summary:
A biomechanics company engaged Merixstudio to help them develop a data validation software. The team looked after the UI/UX design, using Next.js to improve upon the provided wireframes.
Feedback summary:
Merixstudio helped the client build a software that streamlines the data collection and validation process. The team fostered an exceptional engagement, providing high-quality design work at a significantly lower price point. This allowed for more iterations and, ultimately, a better final product.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
Biocore is a biomechanics company that does research and consulting. We provide a large portion of our services to organizations that are focused on sports, in particular, those that are in the professional football industry. I am a senior software developer in the company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Merixstudio?
We have a product that we are currently in the process of researching and developing. In this case, it is an instrumented mouthguard that will be used by professional and collegiate football players. We hired Merixstudio to build a software that could enable our research team to pull and view data from multiple data streams — or those that are coming from the instrumented mouthguards — and to validate the information we are discovering. Our goal is to detect and determine the impacts on players using that validated data.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Merixstudio started by building the frontend of the software from scratch. One of our requirements was that it be a React-based application, so their team used Next.js. We provided them with some rough wireframes and they went into a design process to improve upon it for usability and a better overall look and feel.
What is the team composition?
We worked with about 5–6 people. There was a UI/UX lead, a visual designer, a project manager, two developers, and a QA specialist.
How did you come to work with Merixstudio?
I had worked with Merixstudio years ago for a website and software development project. This was for the company that I owned. At that time, I found them through a Google search and started working wi them. I had such a great experience with their team that I decided to include them in our RFP process for this project.
Clutch was a big driver in that undertaking since we looked into the testimonies of former clients. That, combined with my personal experience with Merixstudio, cemented our decision.
How much have you invested with them?
I believe we spent around $113,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We formally began working together in April 2021, and the work was completed last August 2021.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
In the past, our research team had to undergo a very difficult manual process of pulling and validating data. Thanks to Merixstudio’s involvement, we now have a full-fledged software that only takes 10–15 minutes to complete what was once an hours-long task. It was hugely valuable to our researchers. Back then, we would also need to wait until the end of the season, but now, we can look into the data every week.
How did Merixstudio perform from a project management standpoint?
Merixstudio was great across the board. Working with them was such a phenomenal experience, which is why we’ve hired them again to do two more projects.
What did you find most impressive about them?
What stood out about Merixstudio in this engagement, as in the last, was the level of quality that we got from their design team. Their output is at a level far above what we would’ve received from the other companies that we considered and worked with. It also stood out how they did everything at an incredibly lower price point. It allowed us to iterate more times to make the software better. We got great value for our investment.
Are there any areas they could improve?
A lot of the areas we initially struggled with were really due to us and not Merixstudio. Off the top of my head, I only have good things to say about their team.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
If you have the opportunity and means to meet with Merixstudio in person, do it. Investing in a thorough design process with this team will be totally worth it. Even if you don’t or can’t, though, you are sure to end up at a really great place, just as we have.

The engagement went pretty well. The only issues were on our side with management changes, and this caused priorities to change as well.

“Merixstudio is very proactive in helping us improve the product’s design.”

A transportation and logistics company has hired Merixstudio to develop a user and admin portal for their vehicle tracking system. They’ve used Python and Django to build the MVP and now provide maintenance.
Merixstudio’s technology delivery is excellent. Moreover, they’re responsive and deliver on time, enabling the client’s sales team to go to market as scheduled. The team communicates effectively through Slack, email, and regular meetings. They’re also proactive and excel at taking feedback.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CTO of GoMetro, a specialized transport, logistics, and analytics company. We build various software products used worldwide for different transportation and logistics reasons. Public and town planners use our data to plan bus routes or new highways.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Merixstudio?
In 2022, we designed a new vehicle tracking system. There are many vehicle tracking systems in the market, and companies face a challenge when they use many vehicles with different trackers because they can’t get a single view of their whole fleet.
We built a project to allow companies to have a single view of all their vehicles even when they have different trackers in them. For this, all the tracking companies in South Africa will share their data, and the vehicles’ owners will give permission. This way, if a company rents vehicles from another, they’ll be able to see all vehicles at once.
The project had two major components: the telemetry side and a portal. We needed a very strong user and admin portal. While we kept the telemetry layer ourselves, we went to the market to look for a company to outsource the portal building.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Merixstudio has built our user and admin portal. We had already designed the portal's UI/UX and functionality, and our UI/UX team worked with Merixstudio's design team to make changes and improvements to the design. From there, Merixstudio has handled the coding for the portal's front- and backend using Python and the Django framework.
They've delivered the first phase, which is the MVP; it's now in production. Additionally, we have an ongoing maintenance contract with Merixstudio.
What is the team composition?
We've worked with around 6–8 teammates from Merixstudio, including a commercial manager and a project manager.
How did you come to work with Merixstudio?
I found them online while looking for companies specializing in Python and Django. We also focused on the size of the candidates' previous projects. We found three companies and ultimately chose Merixstudio.
How much have you invested with them?
We've spent more than $25,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in July 2022, and they delivered the MVP in October 2022. Our engagement with Merixstudio is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Merixstudios' technology delivery is excellent. The goal was to have the MVP by the end of October 2022, and Merixstudio has delivered on time — this has been the biggest success. Both of us have been very responsive to each other, and they've never kept us waiting for answers. As a result, they've enabled our sales team to start demonstrating the solution to customers when we had planned.
How did Merixstudio perform from a project management standpoint?
They've delivered on time. However, the project has cost more than initially planned, though the budget increase isn't too significant.
Their communication and responsiveness are excellent. We primarily use Slack, though we also use email when necessary. Additionally, we have weekly and ad-hoc meetings through Google Meet.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Merixstudio is very proactive in helping us improve the product's design. For example, they didn't just take our design and implement it; if they saw something we'd left out or any issues, they raised those areas of opportunities with us. Overall, the team cares about the design.
Early in the project, we had a concern about their UI work. I raised the issue with them, and Merixstudio listened and immediately took positive steps to address the problem and fix it completely. I've worked with companies that give excuses when we've raised concerns. Meanwhile, Merixstudio doesn't find excuses; they find solutions.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Although the ultimate delivery is very good, the project has gone over budget. While I understand that estimating the budget for software development is challenging, Merixstudio could improve their budgeting skills.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Our project has worked so well because both sides are very responsive. For an engagement to be successful, you can't expect Merixstudio to be responsive and not reciprocate. We're both quick to answer questions when they come up, which means neither of us wastes time.

How did Merixstudio perform from a project management standpoint?
Merixstudio’s project management has been perfect. We use Slack, Miro, and Jira to communicate and manage the project.
What did you find most impressive about them?
