Test automation that our developers adopted as a genuine aid rather than a compliance exercise

Takashi Morimoto / Director of IT Strategy - Sakura Digital KK

Project summary: Regulatory submission timelines required a document management platform that could handle version control, access permissions, and audit trails at a scale our existing tools were not designed for.

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

Pipeline availability for kickoff required a few weeks of lead time — in hindsight that selection pressure means you are working with a team that is in demand for the right reasons

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
As Director of IT Strategy at Sakura Digital KK I oversee technology investment and delivery across our Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology operations in Tokyo, Japan. We are a commercially focused business and our technology choices are always evaluated in terms of their direct contribution to business outcomes rather than technical elegance alone.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
A competitive threat had accelerated our roadmap. We had planned a significant Quality Assurance & Testing 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?
Primarily Quality Assurance & Testing, with adjacent work in solution architecture and quality assurance. They were responsible for the full build from requirements through to go-live, including integration with four existing systems in our technology landscape. The breadth they covered without requiring additional vendors was commercially and logistically valuable.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
A trusted peer in the Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology sector had used them for a comparable Quality Assurance & Testing engagement and their recommendation was unequivocal. Our own due diligence confirmed the pattern they described. The combination of domain knowledge, Quality Assurance & Testing depth, and demonstrated delivery discipline was the deciding factor.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Extremely well, in part because they had relevant Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology experience that reduced the context-setting overhead significantly. They understood the domain vocabulary, asked the right questions, and translated business requirements into technical specifications with a fidelity that meant the development phase had very few clarification cycles.
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 Tokyo, Japan 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?
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 ROI case we presented to our board was conservative by design. Current performance against the financial model suggests we will hit the projected payback point in under twelve months against an eighteen-month target. The operational efficiency gains in particular have exceeded the model, in part because the quality of the data the new platform generates supports decisions that the previous system could not.
What did you like most about working with this company?
Their instinct for keeping the business objective visible throughout technical decision-making. I have worked with technically excellent teams who lose the strategic thread as complexity increases. This team maintained a clear connection between every architectural choice and the outcome we had agreed to achieve. That orientation made the trade-off conversations significantly easier.
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 Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology sector looking for Quality Assurance & Testing expertise combined with genuine delivery discipline, I would put this team at the top of the evaluation list.

FAQs

What happens with Index Labs after the project actually launches?
Like most established software teams, Index Labs 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 AI Development, Custom Software Development, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Design, and it has experience across industries such as Energy & Utilities, Mining & Metals, Aerospace & Defense, Agriculture, Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology and Insurance.
What makes Index Labs worth considering over other options?
What tends to set Index 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 2010, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.
Can I just hire developers from Index Labs to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Index 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, its listed capabilities span AI Development, Custom Software Development, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Design, and it has been operating since 2010.
How do I actually get a real proposal out of Index Labs instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving Index Labs 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, it has experience across industries such as Energy & Utilities, Mining & Metals, Aerospace & Defense, Agriculture, Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology and Insurance, and it has been operating since 2010.
Does Index Labs actually build with AI, or just talk about it?
Plenty of modern software teams, Index 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 Energy & Utilities, Mining & Metals, Aerospace & Defense, Agriculture, Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology and Insurance, and it has been operating since 2010.
What are the actual contract options if I want to work with Index Labs?
Most companies structured like Index Labs 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 AI Development, Custom Software Development, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Design, and its average project cost is reported at $100000+.
What's actually in Index Labs's technical toolkit?

What's the easiest way to actually get in touch with Index Labs?
Most businesses reach Index Labs through its website, a direct email, or a contact form — any of which works for discussing what you need, booking an initial conversation, or asking for a rough estimate. For context, it has served clients in USA, and its typical hourly rate is around N/A.
What kind of software work does Index Labs take on?
