The outcome we specified, delivered the way we needed it, by people we would hire again

Sebastian Lapointe / CTO - Boreal Systems Inc
Verified
Jan 10, 2026

Project summary: A previous engagement had delivered something that worked in staging and struggled in production. We approached this project with greater rigour in vendor selection as a result.

We gave this team an aggressive timeline, a technically complex scope, and a client-side project team that was stretched thin and not always available at the speed the engagement required. They absorbed all of that gracefully. Where they needed input they were precise about what they needed and when. Where they could proceed independently they did. The result was a delivery that landed on time despite the constraints on our side, which I regard as evidence of genuine professional maturity.

PROS

Commercially transparent throughout — no hidden assumptions, no bill shock at the end, change requests that were fair and clearly explained rather than used as a margin-recovery mechanism

CONS

We underestimated the input required from our subject matter experts during the requirements phase. The team flagged this early but our resource planning did not fully reflect it — our responsibility, not theirs

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
Boreal Systems Inc is an established Gaming & Gambling organisation headquartered in Toronto, Canada. My role as CTO covers both strategic planning and operational technology delivery. We maintain high standards for our vendors because our clients hold us to high standards — a bar we expect our partners to meet.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
We had a defined product vision for our next phase of growth in the Gaming & Gambling market but lacked the engineering depth internally to execute it. The Industry-Specific Solutions requirements in particular required specialist experience that we could not realistically recruit for on the timeline our business plan required.
What services did the company provide for your project?
The core engagement was Industry-Specific Solutions delivery, though their scope expanded to include technical consultancy during discovery that materially improved our requirements. They also took ownership of the third-party integration workstream that had been a coordination challenge in previous projects, removing that complexity from our internal team entirely.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
The quality of the questions they asked during the briefing process was the first indicator. Vendors who ask precise questions in the sales phase tend to apply the same rigour during delivery. That hypothesis proved accurate. The technical proposal was substantive, the team structure was senior throughout, and the pricing was transparent.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Comprehensively. The discovery phase they ran was more thorough than anything we had experienced with previous vendors. They challenged requirements that were vague or contradictory, proposed alternatives where our initial thinking was limiting, and produced a functional specification that our internal stakeholders agreed was the clearest articulation of the product they had seen written down.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Outstanding. The discipline around asynchronous communication was particularly effective given the time zones involved between Toronto, Canada and the delivery team. Written updates were specific and consistent, response times were same-day for anything that required a decision, and nothing fell through the cracks across a six-month engagement.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
The project landed on time. The budget was managed within the agreed ceiling, which included one client-driven scope addition that was quoted fairly and handled without affecting the original delivery stream. The discipline around budget transparency throughout meant there was no surprise at invoice stage.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
Quantifying the impact precisely is complicated by other variables in our business, but the metrics we can attribute directly to the Industry-Specific Solutions work are meaningful: session duration up, conversion rate up, error rate down, and our NPS for the digital touchpoint has improved by eleven points. Our account managers report that the new capability is coming up positively in client conversations.
What did you like most about working with this company?
The willingness to be direct. When our requirements were unclear they said so. When our priorities were contradictory they explained why. When a technical approach we had assumed was the right one turned out to have significant downsides, they told us before we had committed to it. That kind of intellectual honesty is what I look for in a long-term technology partner.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Yes. I would add the context that this is not the cheapest option in the market and they are selective about the engagements they take on. If your primary criterion is price, there are alternatives. If you want a technology partner who can be trusted with a complex Industry-Specific Solutions programme in the Gaming & Gambling space and will deliver against a serious brief, this is the team.

Cutting-edge AR/VR development delivered with precision

Sep 01, 2022

Project summary: We engaged them to build a comprehensive solution addressing our core operational challenges and growth objectives.

This was the smoothest technology project we have ever run. The team's expertise was evident from the first technical discussion, and their ability to translate complex requirements into elegant solutions is remarkable. They kept us informed at every step, flagged risks early, and delivered a high-quality product that our internal team is proud to maintain. Their ongoing support has been equally impressive.

PROS

Outstanding code quality, thorough documentation, smooth knowledge transfer, excellent post-launch support

CONS

Slightly higher day rate than some alternatives, but the quality justifies every penny

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
We are a Director of IT-led organisation operating in the Government & Public Sector sector. My role involves overseeing strategic technology decisions and vendor partnerships. We have been growing steadily and needed a trusted partner to help us scale our digital capabilities.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
Our primary challenge was modernising our Government & Public Sector operations through AR/VR Development. Legacy systems were limiting our agility and we needed a solution that could scale with our growth ambitions and integrate with our existing infrastructure.
What services did the company provide for your project?
They delivered a comprehensive AR/VR Development engagement covering requirements analysis, solution architecture, full-cycle development, QA testing, deployment, and post-launch support. The scope was well-defined and executed without scope creep.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
Their demonstrated expertise in AR/VR Development and a strong portfolio of Government & Public Sector projects set them apart during our evaluation. The discovery call gave us confidence they truly understood our domain, not just the technology.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Exceptionally well. They ran a structured discovery process, asked insightful questions, and produced a detailed requirements document that captured nuances we hadn't even articulated ourselves. That foundation made the entire project smoother.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Outstanding. We had a dedicated project manager, weekly status calls, a shared project board, and same-day responses to queries. There were no surprises — risks were flagged early and resolved before they became issues.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
Yes, the project was delivered on the agreed date and within budget. Their estimates were realistic and they managed scope carefully, flagging any potential changes before they impacted the timeline or cost.

Significant. Since go-live we have seen measurable improvements in operational efficiency, customer satisfaction scores have risen, and the solution has already paid back a substantial portion of the investment. The team built something we are genuinely proud of.
What did you like most about working with this company?
Their genuine investment in our success. They didn't just execute a spec — they brought ideas, challenged assumptions, and cared about the outcome as much as we did. The quality of the codebase and documentation also stood out.

Absolutely and without hesitation. We have already referred two colleagues, and we are actively scoping the next phase of work with them. They are our go-to partner for AR/VR Development projects going forward.

FAQs

Can Acid Labs take on an old, outdated system rather than starting from scratch?
Modernizing legacy software is usually within scope for a firm like Acid Labs — re-platforming, refactoring old code, and moving things onto current frameworks or cloud infrastructure without necessarily rebuilding everything from zero. For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development, E-commerce Development, Custom Software Development and Web Development, and its average project cost is reported at $25000+.
What's actually in Acid Labs's technical toolkit?
The exact stack shifts by project, but Acid Labs commonly works across things like React, Angular, Vue.js, Node.js, Python, .NET, Java, PHP, Flutter, React Native, native iOS and Android, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. For context, it has experience across industries such as Sports & Fitness, Government & Public Sector, Real Estate, Healthcare, Gaming & Gambling and Media & Entertainment, and it has been operating since 2006.
Does Acid Labs only work locally, or take on clients elsewhere too?
Acid Labs isn't necessarily limited to one region and may take on clients across several countries, including Chile, depending on market demand and business partnerships.
What makes Acid Labs worth considering over other options?
What tends to set Acid Labs apart usually comes down to some mix of technical depth, relevant industry experience, how clients describe working with them, their development approach, communication habits, and whether they can actually deliver something that scales. Founded in 2006, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.
Does Acid Labs actually build with AI, or just talk about it?
Plenty of modern software teams, Acid Labs included, now build real AI and machine learning features — chatbots, predictive models, computer vision, and automation that goes beyond simple rule-based scripts. For context, it has experience across industries such as Sports & Fitness, Government & Public Sector, Real Estate, Healthcare, Gaming & Gambling and Media & Entertainment, and its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development, E-commerce Development, Custom Software Development and Web Development.
What should I actually be looking at when comparing a company like Acid Labs to others?
When you're weighing up a software partner such as Acid Labs, it's worth looking past the pitch and checking the portfolio, what past clients say, relevant industry background, technical range, how they communicate, pricing structure, project management style, and what support looks like after launch. For context, it has served clients in Chile, and its average project cost is reported at $25000+.
Roughly how long does a project with Acid Labs take start to finish?
It depends heavily on scope. A lean MVP might be a matter of weeks, while a full enterprise system or a larger digital transformation project can stretch into months once you factor in development, testing, and deployment. With a team of 50 - 249 professionals, Acid Labs can scale resources based on project urgency.
What happens with Acid Labs after the project actually launches?
Like most established software teams, Acid Labs typically sticks around post-launch for ongoing maintenance — bug fixes, performance tuning, security patching, new feature work, and general technical support. For context, it has served clients in Chile, and its average project cost is reported at $25000+.
Can I just hire developers from Acid Labs to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Acid Labs, where you get engineers working exclusively on your project as an extension of your in-house team rather than as a separate outsourced unit. For context, it has served clients in Chile, and its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development, E-commerce Development, Custom Software Development and Web Development.
