Software that solved the actual problem rather than the stated one — a crucial difference

Sebastian Lapointe / CTO - Boreal Systems Inc
Verified
Jan 23, 2026

Project summary: Serialisation requirements under new traceability legislation had a compliance deadline. Our supply chain system required targeted development to meet it — generalist knowledge was not sufficient.

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

Commercially transparent throughout — no hidden assumptions, no bill shock at the end, change requests that were fair and clearly explained rather than used as a margin-recovery mechanism

CONS

Time zone coordination required some deliberate overlap management from both sides in the first couple of sprints, after which we had an efficient async rhythm that worked for the whole project

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
Boreal Systems Inc is an established Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology organisation headquartered in Toronto, Canada. My role as CTO 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?
Regulatory requirements in our Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology segment had changed and the compliance timeline was set by our regulator, not by us. The Software Development changes required were significant enough to justify engaging a specialist partner rather than diverting our internal team from the product roadmap.
What services did the company provide for your project?
End-to-end Software Development delivery with particular depth in the integration and data migration components, which were the highest-risk elements of the programme. They supplemented this with a dedicated QA resource throughout development and a documented runbook for our operations team at handover.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
We ran a structured shortlisting process across five vendors. The technical evaluation eliminated two immediately. Of the remaining three, this team's proposal was differentiated by the specificity of their Software Development approach and the evidence base they provided — reference projects in Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology contexts, not generic case studies. The reference calls confirmed a track record that the proposal had described accurately.
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?
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?
Yes to both. There was a single sprint where a dependency on a third-party API introduced a one-week delay. The team identified it three weeks in advance, presented two mitigation options, and we agreed on an approach that recovered the schedule within the same sprint cycle. That level of foresight is what separates good project management from reactive problem management.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
We went live four months ago. User adoption exceeded the target we had set by 23 percent in the first month. Support ticket volume has dropped measurably. The features we had deferred because the previous architecture made them prohibitively expensive to build are now in development. The platform they built has opened our roadmap.
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?
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 Software Development programme in the Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology space and will deliver against a serious brief, this is the team.

FAQs

Will Spiralogics sign an NDA before we even discuss the project in detail?
Most professional shops, including Spiralogics, 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 served clients in USA, and it reports a team size of 10 - 49 professionals.
What happens with Spiralogics after the project actually launches?
Like most established software teams, Spiralogics 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 Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology, Advertising & Marketing, Human Resources, Sports & Fitness and Insurance, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.
Would Spiralogics be a good fit for an early-stage startup?
Generally, yes — companies like Spiralogics 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 Custom Software Development, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.
Can Spiralogics take on an old, outdated system rather than starting from scratch?
Modernizing legacy software is usually within scope for a firm like Spiralogics — re-platforming, refactoring old code, and moving things onto current frameworks or cloud infrastructure without necessarily rebuilding everything from zero. For context, it has served clients in USA, and it has experience across industries such as Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology, Advertising & Marketing, Human Resources, Sports & Fitness and Insurance.
Has Spiralogics actually shipped a SaaS product before?
It's a common line of work for a company like Spiralogics — multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing hooked up properly, and cloud-native deployment built for a product meant to scale as a service rather than a one-off build. For context, it has experience across industries such as Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology, Advertising & Marketing, Human Resources, Sports & Fitness and Insurance, and its listed capabilities span Custom Software Development, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Development.
What kind of software work does Spiralogics take on?
Spiralogics 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, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Development.
How do I actually get a real proposal out of Spiralogics instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving Spiralogics 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 Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology, Advertising & Marketing, Human Resources, Sports & Fitness and Insurance, and it has been operating since 2009.
Roughly how long does a project with Spiralogics take start to finish?
It depends heavily on scope. A lean MVP might be a matter of weeks, while a full enterprise system or a larger digital transformation project can stretch into months once you factor in development, testing, and deployment. With a team of 10 - 49 professionals, Spiralogics can scale resources based on project urgency.
Does Spiralogics only work locally, or take on clients elsewhere too?
Spiralogics isn't necessarily limited to one region and may take on clients across several countries, including USA, depending on market demand and business partnerships.
Does Spiralogics actually build with AI, or just talk about it?
Plenty of modern software teams, Spiralogics 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 typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.
