A QA partner who treated our product quality as a personal responsibility

Beatriz Cavalcanti / Chief Digital Officer - Cerrado Tech SA

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 technical quality of the final deliverable is the easiest thing to point to. The automated test coverage is thorough, the deployment pipeline is reliable, the documentation is genuinely useful rather than ceremonially produced. But the metric I keep returning to is the number of post-launch conversations we have not had to have. No incident calls at two in the morning. No emergency patches. No retrospective discussions about what went wrong. The absence of those events is the evidence I would show to someone considering this vendor.

PROS

Collaborative culture that made the team feel like a genuine extension of our organisation, strong asynchronous communication across time zones, zero-drama handling of the inevitable mid-project changes

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 Chief Digital Officer at Cerrado Tech SA I oversee technology investment and delivery across our Events & Event Management operations in Brasília, Brazil. 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?
Our platform had been maintained by a previous vendor for three years and the accumulated technical debt had reached a point where delivery velocity had dropped to a fraction of what it should have been. We needed fresh engineering expertise and a structured plan to address the underlying issues.
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 Events & Event Management 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?
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?
Communication was proactive, timely, and appropriately calibrated. Technical updates for the engineering audience, executive summaries for the steering group, risk flags with proposed mitigations rather than just problem statements. The fortnightly sprint reviews gave our stakeholders visibility without requiring them to attend every working session.
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 Events & Event Management 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

How do I actually get a real proposal out of Methys instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving Methys 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 Big Data, Cloud Solutions, E-commerce Development and Mobile App Development, and it reports a team size of 50 - 249 professionals.
Does Methys only work locally, or take on clients elsewhere too?
Methys isn't necessarily limited to one region and may take on clients across several countries, including South-africa, depending on market demand and business partnerships.
What makes Methys worth considering over other options?
What tends to set Methys 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 2004, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.
What does Methys's actual delivery process look like week to week?

For context, it has served clients in South-africa, and it has experience across industries such as Aerospace & Defense, Construction, Automotive, Events & Event Management and Agriculture.
What's actually in Methys's technical toolkit?
The exact stack shifts by project, but Methys 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 served clients in South-africa, and its average project cost is reported at $10000+.
Would Methys be a good fit for an early-stage startup?
Generally, yes — companies like Methys 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, its listed capabilities span Big Data, Cloud Solutions, E-commerce Development and Mobile App Development, and it has experience across industries such as Aerospace & Defense, Construction, Automotive, Events & Event Management and Agriculture.
What kind of software work does Methys take on?

What kinds of industries has Methys actually built for?
Methys has delivered projects across a range of different industries, including Aerospace & Defense, Construction, Automotive, Events & Event Management and Agriculture.
Can I just hire developers from Methys to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Methys, 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 Big Data, Cloud Solutions, E-commerce Development and Mobile App Development, and it reports a team size of 50 - 249 professionals.
Is Methys more of an offshore setup or a local team?
That depends on where Methys is based and who they primarily serve — some firms like this operate fully offshore, some are local-first, and plenty run a hybrid model that mixes both. For context, its listed capabilities span Big Data, Cloud Solutions, E-commerce Development and Mobile App Development, and it reports a team size of 50 - 249 professionals.
