Octal IT Solution designed and developed an insurance-purchasing web application using PHP. They built customer-facing and internal features, allowing for the capture of marketing leads and financial reporting.
While the platform's aesthetics could be improved, Octal IT Solution followed through on all technical requirements without sacrificing the established timeline or budget. Their user testing and post-launch maintenance allowed the client to make critical updates. They are a communicative partner.
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 am the CTO of an Australian insurance tech start-up. We have been in business for a couple of years now, but during the last two years, we’ve focused on building new kinds of insurance products and the technology to support them.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Octal IT Solution?
We needed to build out the next version of our insurance technology platform, moving forward faster and at a smaller cost. Our goal was to build key components in our platform from end-to-end, including distribution, marketing, and claims.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Octal IT Solution’s main focus was an income prediction tool, which people can use to gain coverage for when they’re sick and miss work. It’s a web application. We needed to provide a fully digital experience to our customers. Insurance in Australia is still sold by brokers, but we wanted to build a more consumer-facing product. Additionally, the goal was to create a start-to-finish experience for customers buying policies. Another requirement was that the platform needed to be built in such a way that we could distribute it to other businesses in the future via an API; there is a huge demand on the B2B side.
We scoped out the project into three phases: business analysis, development, and user acceptance testing. The business analysis took place internally, but a resource from Octal IT Solution reviewed our work for any gaps. Once that was complete, we moved onto development, and then user acceptance testing.
They also integrated Stripe, so users can purchase policies with a credit card. It was a fairly painless process.
Aside from what the customers see, there’s an internal console where we manage the different elements of the web app, like pricing. Insurance is a highly regulated industry — a human has to manage the backend. Typically, those people don’t understand the technology, requiring the tool to have a very simple UI. There’s an order manager, as well as a built-in CRM that lets us capture marketing leads and monitor abandoned carts. There are reporting capabilities. Our product is connected to a large insurance provider, and we have to submit a monthly financial report to them detailing new customers, cancelled policies, and renewed policies. The management side of the web app that Octal IT Solution built handles all of this.
We worked with the LAMP stack, which is a fairly standard piece of AWS. We also used Elastic Cloud 2 for cloud storage. Octal IT Solution was comfortable working with AWS and LAMP technology. The application was built using PHP.
What is the team composition?
Two developed worked with us full-time during the project. One was a senior developer, and one was a junior developer. For the user acceptance testing, members of my team tested the software and reported back to the two developers to get issues resolved.
How did you come to work with Octal IT Solution?
We’re a start-up and a small company, so we didn’t have the large capital investment needed to work with on-shore developers, but we didn’t want to sacrifice speed or quality. Those are the considerations we made when choosing to work with Octal.
We’d worked with one of their account managers when they were at a different company. I personally knew him really well and had confidence that he’d deliver on time and on budget. Initially, I reached out to understand his current team and their capabilities. I realized that the whole group was competent.
We work through an internal ranking and criteria process when choosing suppliers for our team, and Octal IT Solution turned out to be the right partner out of several options.
How much have you invested in them?
We’ve spent between $10,000 –$20,000 AUD (approximately $7,700–$15,000 USD)
What is the status of this engagement?
We started in May–June 2019, and the project ended around October 2019.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Internally, we look at a number of success factors, including customer experience, meaning the frontend and design of the solution. Octal IT Solution could improve a bit in this regard, as could most off-shoring companies like theirs.
We’re not as demanding about the backend because its main function is just to handle the reporting back to our suppliers. The criteria here was more pliant, allowing Octal IT Solution’s engineers greater flexibility.
We really forced them to get to the place we wanted them to be, which quite challenging, to be honest.
How did Octal IT Solution perform from a project management standpoint?
I’m experienced in working with outside teams, so I set clear expectations. They were happy to work according to our Australian time zone, ensuring overlap and support for our customers as they purchased our products. In the instances that they couldn’t accommodate this — local holidays or another similar reason — we made arrangements for alternate days. All of this was established beforehand.
We used GitHub as a shared code repository. Octal IT Solution’s developers shared the code with us for review daily. We also had daily stand-ups and communicated via Slack and Skype. They prefer Skype, so we used what they were comfortable with. Project tracking took place on Trello and Jira. Finally, we did some short maintenance activities post-launch.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Regarding technical skills, they were extremely strong with PHP; I would give them an A+ there. In terms of non-technical abilities, they had strong communication skills, particularly in their account managers and project managers. They were eager to explain any roadblocks in the project. I would use them again for any PHP project.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I will make two statements. The first is that their software engineers were full-stack engineers and worked across the frontend and backend, but they weren't the strongest with design or aesthetics. Fonts, layouts, and CSS were areas of improvement for them. Design differentiates products today, rather than the backend.
The second statement is that the engineers doing the actual work could have communicated better. It was good, but I believe that being more direct with my team in Australia or with me would have been good, rather than relying on the account manager or project manager. I don’t know what their structure was like, however, and this may have been a requirement for them.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Do a thorough job with the business analysis upfront and make sure that there is no ambiguity. This is very important, as you have to tell Octal IT Solution exactly what you need otherwise it will be very hard for them to imagine what you need. I think that is a big risk requirement when working with any distributed or offshore team.
Timeline and budget weren’t huge considerations for us when working with Octal IT Solution. They hit every mark in these regards.
Firmly set expectations at the beginning about what they’re doing, the outcome, and the business impact they will have. Make sure that everyone understands this, and not just the project manager or account manager.

Octal IT Solution develops a Magento e-commerce site for a marketplace. The team is responsible for customizing the extensions for the website.
Octal IT Solution failed to deliver a working website. The project was put on hold because of the issues with poor design work and missing functionalities. They were described as inconsistent in the development of the site. In the end, lack of project understanding soured the engagement. This review includes the vendor’s response.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm an entrepreneur and founder of this magento marketplace which I cannot disclose much details on given that it hasn't officially launched yet.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Octal IT Solution, and what were your goals?
I hired Octal for web and app development. I came to them with my business idea, we wrote about the project scope together, and they recommended that we go with Magento web development and thereafter install an app extension to get the native apps.
SOLUTION
How did you select Octal IT Solution and what were the deciding factors?
I found Octal on Clutch given its high ratings. I reached out to it amongst others, but I decided to go with Octal in the end given its excellent sales person that I had complete trust in. She was super detail-oriented, spoke excellent English and was very tech-savvy. Octal was highly ranked on Clutch and others, and so I believed I was in good hands.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
The web was built on Magento 2.4. I had to purchase several Magento extensions and have the team install and customize them for me. I bought them from CED Commerce, and Octal team had CED install them themselves. What was left for Octal to do was customizations as per my project scope, but they had failed to do that. To be honest, from the minute I had paid, I was contacted by a developer who had no understanding of my project.
Throughout the months I urged him to read the scope, and he claimed he did though it was very obvious he didn't given the questions he had for me and mistakes he made on the website. For instance, my marketplace is multi-vendor and auction-based - 4 months down the line, he asks me if vendors will be shipping or admin. Furthermore, if you check the website, you will see that product listings have a price tag on them even though I explained a million times that they are all auctions.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
I was only in contact with one person, Priyank, who was in charge of the development. I kept the sales person who I had worked with on the scope initially in the loop, begging her to make sure Priyank understands the scope.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The team never delivered. After having the project delayed for 2 months, they demanded that I pay for a milestone that hasn't been delivered. Of course, I wasn't willing to do that because by contract, they had to deliver on their end first. I wasn't pleased at all with the work in progress, and had no intention of paying them upfront for incomplete work. So they said they will place my project on hold until I pay. Here is my feedback of the work in progress:
Poor Design: In terms of design, it's a complete mess. The homepage looks horrible, there are unnecessary buttons, aligning isn't right, etc. It's not just the homepage, all pages need a lot of work in terms of design. Just have a look yourself and tell me what you think. Isn't there a designer who should be in charge of this?
I've mentioned this repeatedly to Priyank, and he keeps saying that we will deal with design later, and that I will have to tell him what needs to be done. But to be honest, that's not my job. A designer should be there to take care of all this - how buttons should look, where they should be placed, alignment, etc. Besides, a UX designer should know how to make the best user experience, not me..
Missing Functionalities: There are still functionalities that aren't there which he claims that he will get done by "end of this week". He has been saying that he has all the functionalities there since end of January. He even asked me to pay the milestone 3 payment on Jan 27, claiming that all is done already. However, it is now end of March and still no where close to completion. Some functionalities he has just discovered a couple weeks ago and requested a call to understand them better
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
They reply quickly to emails, and they always assure you that everything is going smooth and there is nothing to worry about. Yet when I ask about actual results, they keep delaying. One week after another, until it was 2 months delayed and they decided to place it on hold. The project timeline was 3 months, after 5 months I get an incomplete horrible result. The project is extremely delayed, and had I seen good quality work I wouldn't care much about the time. This project should have been very straightforward, it's a matter of installing the extensions and customizing them.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The initial sales was impressive - but once you pay and get stuck with them, everything goes down the drain. They sell you perfection, but the actual results is nowhere close to that.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Yes, they could have been honest. They shouldn't sugar coat the project and assure me everything will be done as planned and to the best quality, and then give the worst quality work there is. And despite all the delay, I was patient and gave them all time they need, hoping that the work will get better somehow. In the end, they decided to break our contract and put this project on hold until I make a payment.
Company Responses
The vendor responded on March 26, 2021.
We offer heartfelt apologies to the client for the inconvenience he has faced.
We understand there were some problems that we have faced during the development phase.
First of all we want to clarify the project is not terminated it is on hold until the payment is made.
We understand there were issues, but we are not ready to be backlashed for it. We offered the client to continue with Magento 2.3 version as it has external support and libraries to offer. The client wanted to move to Magento 2.4 which had a little external support.
The third party could not integrate the version for almost 2 months and the delay was caused. Further there are a few plugins that aren’t confirmed from the client end that are causing the delay. The theme given was integrated with the requested plugins. We were expected to integrate and deliver the plugins instead the client wanted us to customize the design for free.
We understand the delay cannot be accepted, but we would proceed further only with the client’s approval. We would be grateful if the clients could understand that technical glitch from third party cannot be blamed on us.
Looking forward to resolving the confusion and delivering the product soon.

Octal IT Solution was tasked to provide mobile app development services for a computer software company. They were responsible for building a payment solution integration for an iOS app using Objective C.
The deliverable wasn't functional, and the partner is dissatisfied with the engagement. Octal IT Solution hasn't followed through on the promises and commitments they made to the partner. They aren't using any project management tools and requested additional funds to fix the solution. This review includes the vendor's response.
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 founder of a computer software company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Octal IT Solution?
I wanted to create a payment solution as an iOS app.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Octal IT Solution developed a payment solution integration for an iOS application. They worked mainly in Objective C. It’s a digital payment wallet, similar to PayPal. Users can upload money and pay out money to their bank accounts.
What is the team composition?
I interacted with several people including Sakshi (Business Development Manager), Ajit (Head of Sales & Marketing), a project manager, Arun (Owner), Manish (Team Lead), another project manager, and a software engineer.
How did you come to work with Octal IT Solution?
Saskhi and Ajit approached me. Their pricing was 50% less than competitors, their website seemed trustworthy, and I connected with Arun. They convinced me they could complete the project.
How much have you invested with them?
I invested $8,000. The original project for initial integration was supposed to be $6,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We began working together around April 2020, and the engagement is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Octal IT Solution delivered a product that doesn’t function. They didn’t fulfill the promises they made, and I’m quite disappointed. I had already paid 70% of the money to them by the time I realized they weren’t delivering on their promises.
After I was unhappy, they brought a new team member in. He said he was going to help get things fixed. Then he came back asking for an additional $2,000 to do the work, even though I have an email from them saying they’d fix it free of charge. He said it was more work than he anticipated, and the company shouldn’t have to eat it.
At the moment, I’d rate this company at a zero, but if they’ll finish the work, I’m willing to increase that to a three.
How did Octal IT Solution perform from a project management standpoint?
They didn’t use any project management tools. I was adamant about wanting them to use a repository for committing coding and changes made. They uploaded a zip file to it, and when I confronted them, they didn’t seem to know what I was talking about. I don’t think they know how to use a repository. We communicated via Skype, including a video kickoff meeting where they made all their promises.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I’d say they were friendly, but that was deceptive.
Are there any areas they could improve?
They need to read the documentation on work they’re hired to do and put people who know what they’re doing on projects. The software engineer was the only person who seemed to have any coding knowledge.
Company Responses
The vendor responded on March 11, 2021.
The communication isn’t closed yet and we would appreciate it if the client can clear the confusion here.
The wallet app requested was delivered to the client on time after all the testing. The execution of the solution was checked and verified by the client themselves on the demo setup. Even when the app went live, the transactions could be made.
Everything was fine until after a few transactions the payment gateway used rejected client's business model. Even after constant requests, the client did not get in touch with the gateway. At the client’s suggestion, Stripe payment gateway was used. We requested the client to get approval to use the gateway, but he was confident we could continue. Now that the payment gateway feels the business model doesn’t stand their compliance, the app cannot be used.
We surely have asked for the extra sum to export the app to a different gateway but here we are charging for the transitions and time we would invest from the scratch.
We are ready to make the transitions if they can get approval from the gateway they want us to integrate with the app.
We condemn this approach where a mistake of the third-party results in a bad reputation for our organization.

transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the founder and CEO of GBI Group. Our platform offers tenders information to small, medium, and large enterprises in different markets. I initially rolled the platform out in Qatar.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Octal IT Solution?
I’m a business person with zero IT experience, so I needed someone to design and develop our website. I wanted something professional that would look, feel, and operate like a company website. I didn’t want a simple platform.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Octal IT Solution designed and developed my web platform. All I provided them with was the website domain name and data. They built the platform from scratch using PHP. They integrated data and a payment solution.
The website is up and running. They still help us make minor fixes, but most of their work is done. Part of the scope of work was a mobile app. I wanted to roll the website out first, and I’ll have the mobile app in six months.
What is the team composition?
I spoke with a salesperson regarding my requirements. Once we started to get the design for the website, I was moved over to the project manager, who became my sole point of contact.
How did you come to work with Octal IT Solution?
I did a Google search, and they were amongst the top companies. I sent an email asking for a quote. I shortlisted Octal IT Solution and decided to go with them. It was an absolutely blind move, and it turned out to be the best move I ever made.
How much have you invested with them?
I spent $6,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together from May 2019–June 2020.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I had all of these ideas, but I didn’t know how to translate them into an IT infrastructure or a website platform. Octal IT Solution was extremely professional and patient. They responded immediately to any of my questions. The website is readable and mobile-friendly.
The correspondence between us exceeded my expectations. I’ve dealt with so many organizations, and for me to say they are excellent is not feedback I’d usually give. This is the first time I can give this kind of feedback about a company. They were excellent in terms of time, professionalism, and expertise. They’ve helped me understand the website’s infrastructure and how I can manage it in simple terms.
I’m blown away by their services. If I have another project, I will definitely go back to them. I’ve already referred them to a couple of my friends who are starting their businesses. Their quality is amazing.
How did Octal IT Solution perform from a project management standpoint?
They met all of the deadlines. If there were any delays, it was because of me. They were immediately responsive and kept me informed. If it was going to take more than two days, they got back to me and told me how much more time they needed to solve the problem.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They were professional and affordable.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, there’s nothing I’d have them improve.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
I knew what I wanted, and they had me translate the picture in my mind. I’d urge anyone who wants to build a website to know what they want, even if they don’t know the technicality of it. Somebody like Octal IT can come in and play an important role. From a business perspective, you need to at least know the exact A–Z process and operation for your business.
