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 CEO of an education company that provides services in the emergency sector targeted towards primary school-aged children.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Techne.?
We needed support to develop a mobile application.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We had already worked with another company to build our application's MVP. We wanted to take those ideas and concepts to produce a product that could be available to the public. Techne. has changed the original MVP because some of the modeling didn't fit what was viable. The team has explained these changes to us since we aren't technical professionals.
Techne. primarily focuses on app development and continues to communicate different ideas and tools that can be built into the app. The team also suggests marketing strategies we can consider for continued app development in the future. Techne. has developed the app for iOS and Android devices and is looking into launching it for iPad and integrating AI features. The team is working on the backend to learn which things need to be adjusted when we request this work.
What is the team composition?
We work with Gordon (CEO) and with a lead developer.
How did you come to work with Techne.?
Techne. was recommended by another company we had previously worked with. I was looking for a service provider with a personality that fit our company. I wanted to know we'd be successful early in the project and not at the end and that they would support our journey. While looking for service providers, we interviewed companies we could trust to make appropriate suggestions.
When I spoke to Gordon, I felt a real connection between our company and the business they represented. I felt we had a cultural fit and could have a good synergy. I spoke to other service providers, but they couldn't match the level of human interaction provided by Techne. The team understood what our business was trying to achieve. How much have you invested with them?
We spent between $15,000–$25,000 with them.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Techne. in January 2021, and our engagement is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The app's success will be measured upon recognition from the public since it's designed to teach children how to call emergency services if they ever have to. Success for us will be when we receive an email or phone call from a family saying our app has helped save a life.
Techne. is proactive., and their work aligns with who we are. Techne. goes above and beyond to ensure we maintain our business and are set up for success. I can't see us working with any other vendor for development work.
How did Techne. perform from a project management standpoint?
Techne. is available 24 hours a day. We've sent emails at strange times, and the team responds to us quickly. We've even had to stop Techne. at times because they wanted to start working on our idea, and we asked them to discuss it first. Techne. is ready to get in and help us achieve success. We communicate with Gordon via email and text messages and with the lead developer via Slack. Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?
Techne.'s lead developer's patience is amazing. Additionally, Gordon has believed in our company and allowed our invoicing to get lighter at times because he knows we want a long-term partnership with Techne. He's investing in our company with his guidance and support to help achieve our vision.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Techne.'s most impressive quality is their passion for our business. Techne. isn't a development company that takes money and executes what we ask; they're genuinely invested in the business and team they're working with. Techne. works with us instead of working for us.
Additionally, when I don't understand something or have a unique idea, I can call Techne. without fear of being judged, and the team explains it down to the smallest level. I trust that Techne. has my back, and I'd trust them with my children.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can't think of anything for Techne. to improve.
Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?
I suggest not holding back from working with Techne. The moment I was introduced to the team, I wanted to sign an agreement. Techne. is an impeccable company that believes in the businesses they work with. If they didn't believe in our business, they would have probably chosen another project. Techne. trusts in who they're working with and will give them the opportunity to succeed. Techne. is a full-service company that will invest in your company and what you're trying to achieve.

The final design (UX/UI) of the application is fantastic, and it has also exceeded our expectations. Gordon went above and beyond to deliver on all services, ensuring we were always satisfied with the outcome. He was always happy to make any changes or additional requests that we had.

Techne R&D Holdings Ltd was tasked with developing a SaaS solution for a profitability platform startup. The vendor developed a complicated MVP with multiple sophisticated algorithms.
Techne R&D Holdings Ltd decreased the platform's development period by years. Everything was achieved on time and within budget, as well. They also made sure that the client understood the processes they didn't understand with a sense of collaboration and great value for vision.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the Managing Director and Founder of PEISO, an innovative profitability software for the Hospitality Industry.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Techne R&D Holdings Ltd, and what were your goals?
Peiso was an idea, and as a non-tech founder I needed to find a developer to bring my vision to life. I interviewed over 15 development companies for the project, and Gordon was a clear and obvious choice.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
No software solution does what Peiso was attempting to do, and the key for me was Gordon's ability to readily understand what I wanted to achieve, and how I wanted to do so. I had developed an MVP, and Gordon quickly grasped the underlying logic behind Peiso and detailed a plan about how we would get there.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
Peiso was an excel MVP, with multiple sophisticated algorithms. With such a complex project, this was an essential starting point, as I was able to explain and show the team what needed to be done. Peiso relies on information from 3 sources via integrations. This in itself was a complex ask for an initial product. So the scope was to create a software solution from a rudimentary MVP, including 3 integrations. Technes project steps are ideal. In collaboration with a UX designer, we created a basic version of Peiso pre code. This allowed 90% of the key elements to be understood and mapped out. We then engaged the UI, and the design and elegance was just what I wanted. We then went to coding. This process is very thorough, and ensures minimal missteps and prevents doing things two and three times.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
I worked with Gordon as project lead, then directly with a PM, UX, and beta tester.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The outcomes were a working software solution, and secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the right one. As an initial version of the product, with years of development still to take place, the key not to over engineer the product, but at the same time to have something that delivered value. This was achieved in quick time and within budget.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
We invested in scoping the project in detail, and then through the stages as described above. We used slack as a core comms tool, which is ideal. The style is collaborative but something of great value offered by Techne is how they keep things realistic. As a non-tech founder, I am not conversant on consequences of design decisions, and Gordon and the team trained me as we progressed. This alone has saved me months of work.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Receiving robust feedback and the quality of the process and comms. What we didn't do is as valuable as what we decided to do, and advanced the project significantly.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
No to be honest.

A pool construction company hired Techne R&D Holdings to develop an app with an easy UI and integrated into their Zendesk support software. The goal was to provide customers with a complete information tool.
Thanks to the efforts of the Techne R&D Holdings team, the company was able to successfully launch the app. The company is now coordinating its other marketing materials to guide customers towards the app using QR codes and customer call indicators.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am a director of Naked Pools based in Varsity Lakes QLD and Melbourne VIC. Naked Pools is passionate about innovation, service and the total customer experience . We are setting a new benchmark for water quality in the swimming pool and spa industry, while delivering a product that is simple to use, has lower running costs and easy to maintain all year round.
Our state of the art hybrid system utilises nature’s natural minerals and oxidisation to provide your pool with a true eco-friendly solution. Customised to your pool with variable timer control allows the NKD1 System to cater for any pool configuration, returning huge ongoing energy savings.
With TDS (total dissolved solids) levels up to 70% less than its rivals, your NAKED water can be back washed to your garden without any dilution, and the plants will love it too. Our primary focus is the experience our customers will enjoy swimming in a fresh water pool.
As well as the water being crystal clear, with no more chemicals than your average tap water, the pool water has a much softer feel on the skin. A feeling to leave you refreshed and rejuvenated with no residue on the skin and no need to shower after swimming or bathing.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Techne R&D Holdings Ltd?
We hired Techne to develop our native mobile app to provide our customers with information for everything they need to know about managing their 'Naked Pool' ongoing.
We also wanted to deliver some handy tools such as pool size and water chemistry calculators and other benefits of being able to register their new product online with an easy to use interface. It also needed to integrate with our existing Zendesk Support software so that our resources could be managed in the one place and flow through each device.
What were your goals for this project?
Our goals with the App was to reduce the amount of direct customer support calls by putting everything a consumer needed to know about their pool at their fingertips. Once a builder finishes the pool we want every pool owner to then download the app to make pool management easier.
It was also an objective to offer this service direct to the pool builder so that they can utilise the information and tools while installing and setting up the pool system.
SOLUTION
How did you select Techne R&D Holdings Ltd?
We interviewed a few mobile app developers. Some offered very cheap pricing while others were very expensive. We were introduced to Techne through a friend of the swimming pool industry and we found their pricing and willingness to develop what we required a perfect fit.
Certainly not the cheapest but definitely not crazy expensive like some developers. They were willing to help develop what we needed with virtually a money back guarantee should we not be happy with the outcome.
Describe the project in detail.
The project was to develop the app from the ground up and natively for optimum performance and the ability to continue to further develop and enhance the app moving forward. We required full integration with the Zendesk Support Suite that we use which was completed successfully.
There were also calculators developed that utilise a variety of data to inform consumers of their pool water volume, a variety of calculations for water chemistry and to natively adjust and use our software within the product.
They also provided an administrative back-end that allows us to monitor and manage people signing up to the app with the ability for us to then contact them by a variety of methods such as by state, postcode and others.
What was the team composition?
Techne had a local manager to our Melbourne office although we were easily able to communicate remotely. They gave us a variety of human resources via the SLACK application to fully handle the project where we communicated with the relevant resource depending on what was required at the time.
They built a full UX and and UI for us to see and test functionality before main development saving on time and costs.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We launched the App only a couple of months ago and only starting to now push through our builder network as well as new packaging, brochures and operating manuals encouraging users to scan our QR code to download the app.
When a customer calls for support we now encourage them to download the App so they can self help and this has been enormously successful already. The feedback from customers is always positive, noting the amount of work that has gone into it and how helpful it is.
We expect that once fully launched and take up is grown, we should reduce our support calls and time for servicing by over 50%.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
The workflow was very good, whether via phone, email or utilising the SLACK application. We always received updated communication and if we had any specific questions to any of the Techne team they were answered within the day.
The SLACK application used let us communicate whether we were in the office or on the road so all communication was fast and effective.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Techne gave us a very slick app which is both user friendly and fast with a professional look and feel. Rather than using 3rd party software and trying to join them together they were able to build the app in its native format which works seamlessly on either Android or IOS.
I found most things about the company impressive rather than just one stand out.
Are there any areas for improvement?
There may have been a couple of instances where we had picked up a small thing that may have been missed and had to go back to them to include but this was typically a very small thing and always dealt with quickly but this is why they have the right processes and technology in place which is to check the prototypes before having t spend time on full development.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO and founder of Cascade Languages.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Techne R&D Holdings Ltd?
After graduating from university two years ago, I had trouble finding a job and decided to create a language learning app.
The goal was to create a mobile application on which I can upload and sell Spanish educational audio content.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
They developed an Android and iOS app that comes with language lessons and content. The user receives lessons in Spanish, and they can also access a whole collection of Spanish stories to help them continue with learning.
Initially, I went to them with a simple idea. I wanted an app with screens, but after talking to them, they told me that they would take it up a notch. After deciding on multiple screens, I gave them the aesthetics of what I wanted, and they took that to develop the app.
We started off with drawings, and then they created images on the computer. Following that, we made wireframes. After that, they showed me a video of the app and then provided me with a test version to install on my phone.
What was the team composition?
My first interactions were with the project manager, then later I was introduced to the developers and the rest of the team.
How did you come to work with Techne R&D Holdings Ltd?
I looked online for a bunch of companies. I sent out emails to various vendors. Techne was very prompt in replying. We had a chat on the phone where we discussed the project, then we later met in person to go through more of the details of the project and the cost and time it would take.
I chose Techne because of their promptness, their availability, affordable price and overall professionalism.
How much have you invested with them?
I spent $10,000 AUD (approximately $6,500 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
I began working with them in February, and the app will launch soon.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The team expanded on my app and made it easier to use and adapt. It's complete, and we submitted it to the App Store and Play Store. Even though the app is finished, we’re still going through testing phases with their team.
I’ve shown it to a handful of friends. The feedback I’ve received is that the app is simple and practical, but delivers what it aims to do. I think I got far beyond what I expected and paid for. I wanted a language lessons app, and they provided a user-friendly backend that allows me to add stories and content immediately.
How did Techne R&D Holdings Ltd perform from a project management standpoint?
The entire process is organized. As far as communication, my main point of contact would respond within an hour. He also works weekends. I can call or send an email whenever I want to talk to him. We communicated via Slack.
What did you find most impressive about them?
When I went to them with my simple idea, they said that they would raise the standards. It mattered to them that whatever went out with their name distinguished them. I liked that their team pushed me towards something better.
Are there any areas they could improve?
One of their teams is based in Hong Kong. There is sometimes a language barrier, but that’s minor. When it comes to technical matters, the developers could do a better job of conveying what they are trying to say.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Have a good idea of what you want, and know what you’re strict and flexible about before going to their team.

BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the co-founder of Woniu App.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Techne R&D Holdings Ltd?
In the past, we did all of our bookings through social media like Instagram and Facebook. While that was appropriate, I wanted a centralized system that allowed me to organize registrations and tickets in a single space.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We initially started off with a blank canvas. I didn’t have an exact idea of how the UI would work. After sitting down with their team, they explained that the UI is something that needs to be clear and crisp.
It’s important that information doesn’t appear to be clustered. The idea is that it would be clear and concise. They prioritized a smooth user journey in their work, but also indicate that they could make changes based on user feedback. Our goal is to make the app an evolving platform, so we’re still making necessary amendments to it.
How did you come to work with Techne R&D Holdings Ltd?
Many potential service providers were confident that this would be too difficult of a project for them to handle. I was referred to them initially, so we set up a meeting.
With Gordon (Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Techne R&D Holdings Ltd), however, we sat down for a 45-minute meeting and laid out the requirements. He got back to me quickly, requested a one-time fee, and took care of the rest. That process was quick and organized.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent a one-time fee of $6,000 with them for licensing.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in December 2019, and the collaboration is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve received nothing but positive feedback from them. The app is simple to use and well-organizes, so people are happy with it. The platform hasn’t crashed to date.
How did Techne R&D Holdings Ltd perform from a project management standpoint?
The team works quickly and informs me about their processes. I have direct access to their team, so I’m never waiting in a pipeline to be heard. Once I give feedback, I can count on it being changed. They have an evolved form of iterating, always providing me with new work that I like. Their team makes changes right away according to feedback.
What did you find most impressive about them?
The quality of the product and overall team organization has provided us with unique customer experience. Their timeliness and efficiency are unmatched.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I’m a happy customer. The satisfaction that came out of the project was great.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Keep your mind open to suggestions. You can’t be narrow-minded because others will interpret your product differently than you will. There’s a solid chance that changes would benefit the end results of the project.

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 one of the co-founders of nomnom App Pty Ltd, a startup that provides a smart menu and table ordering at cafes and restaurants in order to eliminate the hassle of waiting to order and waiting to pay at the beginning and end of a meal.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Techne R&D Holdings Ltd?
We worked with Techne to build both the mobile app and the web-based platform for our company.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Techne R&D Holdings Ltd worked with us from the ground up to build both a web platform where vendors could set up menus and prices and select what option they wanted to offer through us, as well as a web and mobile frontend for our customers.
A big part of the project involved integrating the QR code and NFC chip capabilities into the application so that customers can use their phones to make payments. They also built functionality to print orders to facilitate kitchen and bar operations through the app as well, which has played a big role in the reception we’ve seen among the foodservice industry.
What is the team composition?
We have one main point of contact, and there are a few other members of their team involved in the project who we deal with from time to time.
How did you come to work with Techne R&D Holdings Ltd?
My co-founder and I worked with a different company at another startup we had created, and they did a great job over the two years that we worked with them. They introduced us to Techne R&D Holdings Ltd on that job, so when we decided to kick off this project we knew that we would be able to rely on them for the work we needed to do.
How much have you invested with them?
The first stage of our project has cost about $50,000 AUD (approximately $33,400 USD).
What is the status of this engagement?
The project started in October 2019 and is still ongoing. We just getting ready to launch the MVP.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Their ability to produce something so high quality while taking advantage of offshore development work has been a huge benefit to our operation. The fact that I’ve chosen to work with them twice speaks to how satisfied we’ve been with the quality of their work. The app has a few minor bugs and kinks at the moment, but based on the progress made so far we are more than confident that it will be ready to launch on schedule.
How did Techne R&D Holdings Ltd perform from a project management standpoint?
We typically communicate over Slack, and it has been incredibly easy to convey changes and improvements through that forum because their project managers and developers are all good communicators as well. There has been no difficulty staying on track towards our project milestones, and we always feel like we’re part of the process, which is a great sign in projects like this.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Two things immediately come to mind. The first is just their ability to deliver an incredibly well designed final product, but on top of that, they deliver high-quality work for a much better price than most other companies doing similar work.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There honestly aren’t any significant issues that we have. They’re great to work with.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
When you’re working with most developers in general, you have to find the right balance between coming to them with an exact layout for everything you want and how you want it, and a vague idea for an app with no way of actually implementing it.
Techne R&D Holdings Ltd does a really good job of taking an idea and some suggestions and then running with it and expanding upon your vision, so it’s important to give them something to start from but also the room to get creative as well.

Techne R&D Holdings Limited developed several interconnected e-commerce apps using AWS, Stripe, Java, and JavaScript. They continue to implement and update features in response to customer feedback.
Techne R&D Holdings Limited completed the first part of the project quickly and the second part is set to launch soon. Although they work quickly and respond to feedback almost immediately, they’ve maintained functionality. The team’s responsiveness and professionality make them easy to work with.

client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO of an online grocery store.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Techne R&D Holdings Limited?
We hired them to develop an e-commerce app for our shoppers, drivers, and suppliers.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
At the beginning of the project, we sat down to discuss what we wanted. Based on that conversation, they provided the wireframes. Once that was agreed upon, they quickly began development on a mobile app with a web app backend. Building the apps from scratch, they used AWS, Java, JavaScript, and Stripe for payment processing. With an API, they connected the backend of the driver and shopper apps. They also submitted the backend for the store supplier.
Now they’re working on a marketing campaign and making adjustments. When users report problems, the team responds to them over Facebook Messenger. Accessing the accounts, they’re able fix whatever is going on.
What is the team composition?
Gordon (Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Techne R&D Holdings Limited) is our main point of contact, but they have ten employees based in Hong Kong.
How did you come to work with Techne R&D Holdings Limited?
I reached out to another vendor, but their owner recommended Techne R&D Holdings Limited because they could finish the project faster and still have a great experience.
We began working together in June 2019 and the project is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Their impact has been astronomical. They completed the driver app in just three months, and we’re set to launch the shopper app this week. Functionality has been great and the apps haven’t crashed. We’re continually improving the platform because we don’t know what features our customers are going to want. They really go above and beyond and make our team look professional. We wouldn’t have been able to do this without them.
How did Techne R&D Holdings Limited perform from a project management standpoint?
They’ve added us to slack, WeChat, and teamgantt. Turnaround time is so fast because we can reach them quickly. When we’re getting feedback from drivers about features they’d like, we just message the development team and they’re on it. For example, we needed to change the driver’s license feature from specifically Australian to international, and they were able to make that happen open almost immediately.
teamgantt is also a really helpful tool too because we can plan around the UI development team’s schedule.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their speed is impressive. They’re able to develop features as I’m getting information and feedback.
Are there any areas they could improve?
There’s this saying in development: you can only have two things between quality, speed, and cost. We chose quality and speed. They could be cheaper, but we’re happy with our partnership.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Make sure your investor knows that it’s going to be expensive and have a set budget.
