Web platform that turned our digital presence from a cost centre into a revenue driver

Beatriz Cavalcanti / Chief Digital Officer - Cerrado Tech SA
Verified
Jan 17, 2026

Project summary: Several years of incremental development had left us with a platform that was technically functional but strategically limiting. A structured rebuild was the agreed path forward.

I came into this engagement as a sceptic. We had been through a failed implementation with a previous vendor and I had high standards for what evidence of competence looked like before I would trust a partner with our core systems. This team earned that trust progressively — through the quality of the discovery documentation, the rigour of the technical proposals, the consistency of the sprint deliveries, and ultimately the stability of the production system. I no longer lead with scepticism when recommending them.

PROS

Deep domain knowledge that reduced the discovery overhead significantly, proactive risk identification before issues became incidents, delivery cadence that our stakeholders found reassuring

CONS

The quality of documentation they produce means our team needed to set aside dedicated review time to do it justice — a minor scheduling point rather than a genuine criticism

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
Cerrado Tech SA is an established Mining & Metals organisation headquartered in Brasília, Brazil. My role as Chief Digital Officer 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?
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 Web Development, 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 Mining & Metals sector had used them for a comparable Web Development engagement and their recommendation was unequivocal. Our own due diligence confirmed the pattern they described. The combination of domain knowledge, Web Development depth, and demonstrated delivery discipline was the deciding factor.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Thoroughly and precisely. The requirements document they produced was detailed enough that our QA team used it directly to write acceptance criteria. Every user story had a defined business objective attached. Nothing was left to interpretation. That discipline in the requirements phase paid dividends throughout development and testing.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
The project management framework was the most structured I have experienced with an external vendor. Sprint planning was tight, acceptance criteria were specific, retrospectives were honest and acted on. The project manager treated the shared backlog as a live document and the risk register as an operational tool rather than a compliance artefact. I never had to ask for a status update.
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?
The post-launch behaviour. Some vendors consider go-live to be the end of their professional obligation. This team treated it as the transition to a different kind of engagement. The hypercare period was substantive, the documentation was thorough and genuinely useful, and they checked in proactively at the thirty-day and ninety-day marks to review production metrics with us.
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 Web Development programme in the Mining & Metals space and will deliver against a serious brief, this is the team.

FAQs

Can I just hire developers from Skyhook Interactive to sit alongside my own team?

Will Skyhook Interactive sign an NDA before we even discuss the project in detail?

Does Skyhook Interactive only work locally, or take on clients elsewhere too?

What does Skyhook Interactive's actual delivery process look like week to week?

Would Skyhook Interactive be a good fit for an early-stage startup?
Generally, yes — companies like Skyhook Interactive 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 Energy & Utilities, Government & Public Sector, Mining & Metals, Nonprofit & NGO and Financial Services, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.
How do I actually get a real proposal out of Skyhook Interactive instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving Skyhook Interactive 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 Crypto Exchange Development, Custom Software Development, VR App Development, App Marketing and Web Development, and it has been operating since 2008.
What happens with Skyhook Interactive after the project actually launches?
Like most established software teams, Skyhook Interactive 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 experience across industries such as Energy & Utilities, Government & Public Sector, Mining & Metals, Nonprofit & NGO and Financial Services, and its listed capabilities span Crypto Exchange Development, Custom Software Development, VR App Development, App Marketing and Web Development.
What are the actual contract options if I want to work with Skyhook Interactive?
Most companies structured like Skyhook Interactive 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, it has experience across industries such as Energy & Utilities, Government & Public Sector, Mining & Metals, Nonprofit & NGO and Financial Services, and it reports a team size of 10 - 49 professionals.
