Custom modules that fit our operational processes rather than forcing us to change them

Project summary: Our engineering capacity was committed to maintaining existing systems and could not absorb a net-new build of this complexity. An external partner with the right skills was the only viable option.

The integration layer was the part of the project I was most concerned about going in. Our system landscape is complex, several of the upstream APIs we relied on were poorly documented, and two third-party vendors had a history of unpredictable response times on integration questions. This team managed all of that. They documented what the upstream vendors could not, built resilience into the integration architecture where the upstream behaviour was unreliable, and delivered a solution that works as specified in production. I could not have asked for more.

PROS

Clear and consistent communication adapted appropriately for both technical and non-technical stakeholders, shared tooling that gave our team real-time visibility, reliable sprint delivery throughout

CONS

Their discovery process is more rigorous than we were accustomed to and required more preparation from our side than we had initially allocated — but the quality of what followed justified every hour of it

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
Munster Digital Ltd is an established Mining & Metals organisation headquartered in Limerick, Ireland. My role as Director of Product 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?
A competitive threat had accelerated our roadmap. We had planned a significant ERP Development investment for the following year. External pressure moved that timeline forward by six months and required us to find an external partner rather than attempting to build internally in the time available.
What services did the company provide for your project?
The core engagement was ERP Development 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?
A trusted peer in the Mining & Metals sector had used them for a comparable ERP Development engagement and their recommendation was unequivocal. Our own due diligence confirmed the pattern they described. The combination of domain knowledge, ERP Development depth, and demonstrated delivery discipline was the deciding factor.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Better than we managed ourselves going in. The workshops they facilitated surfaced assumptions we had not examined and exposed three requirements that were in direct conflict with each other. Resolving those before development began saved us what would certainly have been significant rework later in the project.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Professional and efficient. The project manager maintained a clear view of the critical path at all times and communicated changes to it transparently. The one significant scope adjustment we made mid-project was handled through a clean change request process — fairly priced, clearly documented, and absorbed without disrupting the overall timeline.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
On time and within the approved budget. The estimation accuracy was notable — they had broken the work down in sufficient detail during discovery that their forecast proved reliable throughout, rather than being a number that shifted with every change in scope. We received one change request and it was for scope we had introduced ourselves.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
The most direct measure is the performance of the system in production. In the five months since go-live we have had zero P1 incidents, our page performance scores have improved across every Core Web Vitals metric, and two enterprise clients who had cited our previous platform limitations during contract negotiations have since renewed without that objection arising.
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?
Unreservedly. We are in active scoping conversations for a second engagement and I expect this to develop into a multi-year partnership. For any organisation in the Mining & Metals sector looking for ERP Development expertise combined with genuine delivery discipline, I would put this team at the top of the evaluation list.

FAQs

Does HackNCraft only work locally, or take on clients elsewhere too?
HackNCraft isn't necessarily limited to one region and may take on clients across several countries, including USA, depending on market demand and business partnerships.
What are the actual contract options if I want to work with HackNCraft?
Most companies structured like HackNCraft give you a choice between a fixed-price contract, a dedicated team arrangement, or time-and-materials billing, so you can pick whichever lines up with your budget and how well-defined your scope already is. For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Development, and it has been operating since 2014.
What happens with HackNCraft after the project actually launches?
Like most established software teams, HackNCraft typically sticks around post-launch for ongoing maintenance — bug fixes, performance tuning, security patching, new feature work, and general technical support. For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Development, and it has experience across industries such as Agriculture, Gaming & Gambling, Real Estate, Mining & Metals, Manufacturing and Food & Beverage.
What kinds of industries has HackNCraft actually built for?
HackNCraft has delivered projects across a range of different industries, including Agriculture, Gaming & Gambling, Real Estate, Mining & Metals, Manufacturing and Food & Beverage.
Will HackNCraft sign an NDA before we even discuss the project in detail?
Most professional shops, including HackNCraft, expect to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before getting into specifics — it's a fairly standard ask and a reasonable one to make before sharing anything sensitive. For context, it has experience across industries such as Agriculture, Gaming & Gambling, Real Estate, Mining & Metals, Manufacturing and Food & Beverage, and its typical hourly rate is around $150 - $199.
Would HackNCraft be a good fit for an early-stage startup?
Generally, yes — companies like HackNCraft tend to work well with startups because of what they typically offer: MVP builds, product strategy input, architecture that can scale later, and dedicated teams that keep costs manageable while still moving fast. For context, it has served clients in USA, and its typical hourly rate is around $150 - $199.
How do I actually get a real proposal out of HackNCraft instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving HackNCraft a clear, specific brief up front — through their website form, a direct email, or a call — since a vague ask tends to get a vague answer back, while a concrete one usually gets a proper estimate. For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Development, and it has served clients in USA.
What kind of software work does HackNCraft take on?
HackNCraft typically covers the standard range of software development work — mobile apps, web platforms, custom internal tools, UI/UX design, cloud infrastructure, AI integrations, and larger enterprise builds. Its core focus areas include Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Development.
Can I just hire developers from HackNCraft to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like HackNCraft, 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 USA, and its typical hourly rate is around $150 - $199.
Does HackNCraft actually build with AI, or just talk about it?
Plenty of modern software teams, HackNCraft 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 served clients in USA, and its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Development.
