Project summary: Our factory required an ERP integration and IoT layer to reduce downtime and improve throughput.

From day one, the team felt like an extension of our own organisation. They immersed themselves in our domain, challenged us to think bigger, and delivered a solution that is both technically sound and strategically valuable. The project came in on time and within budget, which is rare for an engagement of this complexity. We are delighted with the outcome and look forward to a long-term partnership.

PROS

Deep technical expertise, professional project management, responsive support, great value

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 Manufacturing 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 Manufacturing operations through DevOps Services. 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 DevOps Services 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 DevOps Services and a strong portfolio of Manufacturing 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.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
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.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
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 DevOps Services projects going forward.

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.

FAQs

Can I just hire developers from SAPHI to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like SAPHI, 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 experience across industries such as Education, Manufacturing, Gaming & Gambling, Travel & Hospitality, Agriculture and Human Resources, and it has been operating since 2017.
Does SAPHI actually build with AI, or just talk about it?
Plenty of modern software teams, SAPHI 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 Education, Manufacturing, Gaming & Gambling, Travel & Hospitality, Agriculture and Human Resources, and its listed capabilities span Custom Software Development, Internet of Things, IoT & Embedded, IoT App Development and Machine Learning.
What kind of software work does SAPHI take on?
SAPHI 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 Custom Software Development, Internet of Things, IoT & Embedded, IoT App Development and Machine Learning.
Does SAPHI only work locally, or take on clients elsewhere too?
SAPHI isn't necessarily limited to one region and may take on clients across several countries, depending on market demand and business partnerships.
What makes SAPHI worth considering over other options?
What tends to set SAPHI 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 2017, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.
What should I actually be looking at when comparing a company like SAPHI to others?
When you're weighing up a software partner such as SAPHI, 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, its listed capabilities span Custom Software Development, Internet of Things, IoT & Embedded, IoT App Development and Machine Learning, and it reports a team size of 10 - 49 professionals.
How do I actually get a real proposal out of SAPHI instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving SAPHI 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 Education, Manufacturing, Gaming & Gambling, Travel & Hospitality, Agriculture and Human Resources, and it reports a team size of 10 - 49 professionals.
What kinds of industries has SAPHI actually built for?
SAPHI has delivered projects across a range of different industries, including Education, Manufacturing, Gaming & Gambling, Travel & Hospitality, Agriculture and Human Resources.
Would SAPHI be a good fit for an early-stage startup?
Generally, yes — companies like SAPHI 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 experience across industries such as Education, Manufacturing, Gaming & Gambling, Travel & Hospitality, Agriculture and Human Resources, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.
