The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the CTO of LociLabs Limited
For what projects/services did your company hire Studio Software, and what were your goals?
We needed to add new modules to our product (device-management software), for example, a calendar module that helps our administrator define events for different devices and locations.
Our goal was to meet our clients’ expectations and provide high-quality modules, as they have been waiting for these solutions for a long time. As a result, we hired Studio Software to help us achieve our business goals.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
Studio Software was referred by one of our trusted contacts. They could kick the project off quickly, met our technical requirements, and presented a flexible approach. We also had an opportunity to meet their engineers during early interviews, and we were impressed by the knowledge and approach they brought to the table.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
They are mainly involved in developing the modules for our product. One of the most important was a calendar that manages different events for specific dates. All of the events are connected to our devices, located all over the country.
On one hand, they present a high commitment to the project and can develop diverse IT solutions; on the other, they follow a smooth management process and present efficient communication methods, which is an excellent skill set.
The project was built with PHP and React.js. We started cooperation in the middle of the year, and the first module was delivered on time, after three months.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We work with two backend and two frontend developers, two testers, and a project manager.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
They delivered the expected modules, bringing many significant benefits to our business. Their input had a positive impact on our growth, and we were able to meet our clients’ expectations. What is more, it is great to cooperate with a partner who really understands your needs and presents many innovative ideas. The team also shared valuable insights about our system and produced some improvements to make it more stable and efficient.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
They present a very efficient workflow. We’re running the project in Jira, and the documentation is based on Notion. We also use other tools for clear communication and meet every week using Google Meets. They really care about transparent communication and are highly responsive during the project. Their planning process is excellent, and they could deliver the solutions quickly. Our cooperation is ongoing.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
We are impressed with the way they organize their work - they were able to kick off the project quickly and helped us achieve our goals. However, what stands out the most about them is their proactive attitude and ability to bring helpful ideas to the table, and the way they build relationships with their clients.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
At the very beginning, we faced a challenge regarding team rotations, which was difficult at the early stage of the cooperation. Fortunately, Studio Software has met the challenge with a proven process to organise their work.
We were in touch with the company’s CEO, who got involved in the process and ensured everything went smoothly. We are very satisfied with the results, and we are continuing the cooperation.

We hired Studio Software to build a full-scope solution from scratch - educational platform. We wanted them to deliver a web and mobile application. The main goal was to become the number one educational solution for students on the Polish market.
How did you select Studio Software and what were the deciding factors?
We were searching for potential vendors in Google, where we found Studio Software. They have a professional website with a great-looking portfolio.

We started a project with 2 developers (frontend and backend), a QA tester, and a project manager.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
They built a complex product and a little over 2 years after launch, we became the number one solution for students on the Polish market. Currently, not only tens of thousands of users learn with the app on a daily basis, but we’re the most recognizable educational platform for students in our country. The app consists of tests and a great knowledge base that makes learning easier and pleasant. We also cooperate with several Polish Universities.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
They were very transparent from day one. What I appreciate the most, is that they inform you not only about the successes, but also provide detailed information about problematic issues, and present ideas for the best possible outcomes. Studio Software is constantly trying to improve the way we work together, despite the fact, that in my opinion, it’s already great. The whole cooperation is well organized, process-driven, and at the same time, I know what to expect at every step of the project.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Studio Software helped me achieve my main business goal, which was becoming the number one educational platform for students on the Polish market. Their knowledge and commitment to the project are invaluable. Each team member demonstrated a really good understanding of the project and our goals.

“They really desire to get it done the way we want it. That’s the best thing about working with them.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
We’re a health technology company and I’m the founder and CEO.
What challenge were you trying to address with Studio Software?
We were looking to find a software company that was affordable but had the level of expertise to develop a complex a SaaS platform.
What was the scope of their involvement?
It’s an open social and health behavioral tracking and inventiveness platform. We’re bringing gamification methodology to incentivize better health outcomes. I brought them a code base that needed refactoring, and we started out slow. Once I was confident that they could execute and understand the platform, we began to ramp up. We worked with PHP, specifically Laravel.
What is the team composition?
There a project manager, and front- and backend developer.
How did you come to work with Studio Software?
We were introduced by a mutual friend. I came to them with because I couldn’t find a company with the expertise that I needed. I explained my challenges and what my concerns were and went from there.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent $100,000 so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started in September 2019 and it’s ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’re going to launch and release the beta soon. We have a couple beta clients and we’ve started to design around the platform. We did a lot of user testing and the functionality has performed well. They’ve been able to deliver what I imagined.
How did Studio Software perform from a project management standpoint?
Project management has been good. Obviously, we always want it faster and cheaper, but the quality is really good. We used Slack and Jira to communicate back and forth.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They really desire to get it done the way we want it. That’s the best thing about working with them.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There always room for improvement. The project has taken longer than we originally planned but that may be partially my team’s responsibility. I’ve also urged them to speak up when they don’t understand something. At first, they would just go with what they thought it was. So, it took a while to get the communication going.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Create a super clear project proposal and hold daily stand-up meetings. We also took our sprints from two weeks to one week. We found that two weeks was a little long to stay disconnected. So, compressed timelines have helped us drop more features.

the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
We have created the first open service in Poland to estimate creditworthiness, compare many loans, generate and automatically fill in applications simultaneously to several banks. I am the Product Owner and I am responsible for marketing.
For what projects/services did your company hire Studio Software?
The original version of the website required improvement in terms of the user interface, which was unintuitive and had an outdated design. In addition, the mechanisms used to administrate the process of generating documents for the website user required optimization.
What were your goals for this project?
The purpose of cooperation with Studio Software was to design and implement a new website interface that allows the user to use its functions in the easiest way possible - i.e., in particular, to be able to easily compare mortgage loan offers and generate a set of documents needed to send loan applications. In addition, we needed to thoroughly rebuild the mechanisms for handling customer requests.
How did you select this vendor?
After talking with several potential vendors, we noticed that the Studio Software team not only knows how to create software but also perfectly understands our business needs. The combination of these two elements decided to start cooperation.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
The project began with a thorough analysis of our business needs and creating a list of key functionalities and priorities. The project was implemented in 2-week sprints. At each stage, we could count on a number of suggestions that helped develop optimal solutions on both the backend and frontend.
What was the team composition?
There were several people involved in the project from Studio Software side - 1x Project Manager, 1x Graphic Designer, 2x Backend developer, 1x Frontend developer.
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
Thanks to the designed new version of the interface, we have noted a big increase in involvement in the functions offered by jakikredyt. Panel management from the administrator's side has become less time-consuming. We have also been noticed by the media, which assess us as a modern and innovative tool that helps clients get credit. The change also positively affected the possibility of attracting more investors to the project.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
The project manager responsible for running the project was great. We value cooperation with her not only for amazing communication, care for the progress of the project in Jira, but above all for creativity and the ability to suggest relevant solutions.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The combination of their team's compentence and the amazing atmosphere brought real benefits to the business.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the co-founder and tech lead at RMPL Sp. z o.o., a soccer fan website in Poland. The site gets roughly ten million visits each month.
What challenge were you trying to address with Studio Software?
We needed help developing a new version of our website. We had worked on it internally for several years, but we’d always outsourced frontend development.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Studio Software developed the frontend of our website. We had a half-finished project when they started, and we recently launched the new version of the site. Studio Software continues to make improvements.
What is the team composition?
We work with one frontend developer from Studio Software. We do most of the project management and backend development ourselves.
How did you come to work with Studio Software?
Studio Software saw that our project was taking some time, and they approached us to see if they could help. We were working with another vendor at the time. Studio Software’s owner sent emails every few months asking how it was going and if they could assist. He was persistent enough that we eventually decided to hire them. We’re happy with this decision.
How much have you invested with them?
My company has spent $25,000–$30,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in July 2018, and the engagement is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’re really pleased with the results. Everything has gone smoothly. People have been waiting for this new version of the website, and it seems like they’re happy with the way it looks and works.
How did Studio Software perform from a project management standpoint?
Studio Software is very professional and flexible. Whenever they’re working on our project, I have daily contact with the frontend developer, who delivers quickly.
Studio Software provides weekly reports that are very detailed and explains exactly what they spend time on. In my experience working with other frontend agencies, this isn’t the standard. At the beginning of our partnership, we had Hangout calls. We now communicate over Slack and use Jira.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They have capable developers who deliver on time. Even though they joined the project at a late stage and didn’t have a chance to plan from the beginning, they were still able to pick up and continue development. Our partnership is going well, and we hope to continue working with them for a while.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There aren’t any anything negatives about working with them.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Work with them. They deliver, and they’re flexible enough to adjust to requests.

Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m a project manager at Colian, a sweets company.
What challenge were you trying to address with Studio Software?
We needed someone to develop our e-commerce site.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They developed our e-commerce shop for all of our sweets brands. It’s a complex e-commerce site—we have 300 SKUs. They used PHP and Magento to develop the site. They also did the graphics and UX for the shop.
We went to their office in the beginning to discuss the UI/UX of the e-commerce shop. We’d go over their designs, and they’d provide us with insights. We’re now on the second version, and they continue to do updates.
What is the team composition?
My team is currently in contact with one project manager. In the beginning, we also discussed the project with the CEO.
How did you come to work with Studio Software?

We’ve spent €120,000 (approximately $130,000 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in 2017 and the work is ongoing.

The data from Google Analytics is promising. We’ve been able to increase sales on the site.

What did you find most impressive about them?
They’re very responsive. The project manager is very good at what she does. She knows every single thing about the project. There’s excellent communication, and they have plenty of ideas and advice for improvements.

Development for a Startup's Platform
“They were thinking with us: they didn’t just build what we told them to but got involved in the content of the topic.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I'm the managing director at a small startup building an automation platform for manufacturing contracts.
What challenge were you trying to address with Studio Software?
We needed support to develop our digital platform to automate the process of matching requests from production companies with the right service provider.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Studio Software developed the backend of our site, including the APIs and database, and the frontend using HTML. They also manage hosting for us using AWS.
Our CTO is a platform architect familiar with software solutions so we initially specified a lot of user flows and programming details ourselves which we would then forward to Studio Software to implement. As we started to collaborate, we realized they could help us develop solutions and provide insights into new technologies. The relationship shifted to them taking more initiative to develop solutions, coming up with proposals and providing consulting services to us.
What is the team composition?
The CEO was the main contact for contracting and initiating the project. We work with him and another partner on strategic decisions. We also work directly with the two developers plus a project lead.
How did you come to work with Studio Software?
We found them on a German website through which we came up with a list of possible partners. We also looked at their reviews on Clutch which gave us more background on why we should have a more in-depth discussion with them.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent about 27,000€ (approximately $30,100 USD) so far.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in September 2018 and it’s ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
They built our entire platform. The idea, the specifications, and some customization has come from us but they built it. It works well and there are very few bugs. We’ve had a perfectly complementary path to executing our vision with them.
How did Studio Software perform from a project management standpoint?
We communicate using Slack and have regular calls. From time to time, we had some transparency issues when we weren't 100% sure of their level of effort or capacity on our project but we got into a rhythm and things improved. Overall, we’re satisfied.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We most appreciated their consultancy support, which evolved over the course of the project. They were thinking with us: they didn’t just build what we told them to but got involved in the content of the topic.
Are there any areas they could improve?
As a startup, we’re watching every euro we spend. There was some lack of transparency early on about how much we were spending based on their time spent. They could have been clearer about the status of the project so we could more efficiently manage budgets and time. It’s also a lesson learned for us as we could have been more strict.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Trust in their experience and abilities for platform development. We overspecified at the outset but they had very good ideas. Provide them with the time to get involved in the content—and they’ll provide you with great solutions.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO of a self-storage company.
What challenge were you trying to address with Studio Software?
We were developing new services for automatic self-storage.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Studio Software built the software that serves as the base of my company. They had worked on a similar project in Poland for automatically opening apartments, which includes a special system that allows apartment owners to send answers to clients automatically. They offered the same system to us, and we adapted it to our expectations.
Studio Software set it up so that clients can visit our site, specify the number of boxes they want, pay online, and have invoices created automatically. It was important for us to have a good customer journey online, ensuring that they could do what they needed to quickly. Our second requirement involved security. Our self-storage facilities have special locks, and we didn’t want hackers to get access to them.
What is the team composition?
We were in contact with a product manager and 3–4 developers.
How did you come to work with Studio Software?
They had the experience we needed, so we asked about the possibility of a collaboration and discussed our expectations. The second reason for choosing Studio Software was that they’re sensitive to clients. Plus, they offered the best pricing.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent about $50,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked with Studio Software from January–July 2018. The project timeline was six months. We are planning to expand the software, but this is something for the future.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Studio Software delivered everything I wanted. If we wanted to change something or have a discussion, they were open to everything. The impact has been critical to our business.
How did Studio Software perform from a project management standpoint?
They managed the timeline, budget, and work accurately. We communicated with the project manager, who was in charge of delegating tasks and scheduling everything. Our project manager and theirs had sprint meetings every 1–2 weeks. They gave us updates for every sprint. We had phone conferences about different issues as well as day-to-day communication and reporting.
What did you find most impressive about them?
We were impressed with their understanding of our business expectations and their ability to translate those into specialized software.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No. Everything is working as we want it at the moment.

“Without complaint, they always take the lead when we run into a problem.”

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the manager of Mobile Laboratory. We test windows and doors to assure they are up to standard for the end-users.
What challenge were you trying to address with Studio Software?
We wanted a software solution that allowed users to make simple calculations for window and door parameters.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Studio Software handled the majority of the work, so I don’t have much information on the technical elements of the system. The delivered project was a website that lets users calculate parameters for window and door orders. Additionally, we can use the platform to document all of our laboratory activities, then our client can create an official certificate for the product, which allows them to go to market.
Studio Software continues to work on the program as it evolves from the first to the second stage. The software is fully functioning, but we’re still making improvements. They’re currently implementing additional tools and features to the platform.
What is the team composition?
Our main point of contact is the co-founder of Studio Software.
How did you come to work with Studio Software?
We found them through a Google search.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked on the first stage of the project for four months. Now, we’re in the second stage, which is expected to run for another four months.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
I don’t have much to say in terms of results, given that we’re still working toward the final product. That being said, we expect it to have a significant, positive impact on our business and improve market presence. Our customers have asked for a simple tool like this website, so we expect a notable return on our investment.
How did Studio Software perform from a project management standpoint?
It’s been a very smooth engagement. After deciding to partner with their team for this project and established a schedule, we immediately started working. We’re consistently on time and there hasn’t been any issues or obstacles.
We have very good inter-team communication. Usually, we speak over the phone, but we also email or meet in person if necessary. It’s easy to contact them with comments, requests, feedback, or anything business related. We appreciate their level of involvement. No matter the level of difficulty or possible time constraints, their team is always polite and professional.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I liked their level of knowledge in the software creation space. With their creativity, they’ve been able to appropriately and productively guide us through the development process. Without complaint, they always take the lead when we run into a problem.
