Outstanding cloud services — reliable, fast, and cost-effective

Project summary: Our agency needed a digital transformation to move from spreadsheets to a fully automated property management system.

From the discovery workshop to the final handover, the experience was seamless. The team invested real effort in understanding our business goals before writing a single line of code, and that foundation paid dividends throughout. Every milestone was hit, every deliverable was polished, and the few issues that arose were resolved before we even had to ask. The solution has already delivered measurable ROI and we are planning our next engagement with them.

PROS

Outstanding code quality, thorough documentation, smooth knowledge transfer, excellent post-launch support

CONS

Initial onboarding took a couple of extra days, but the team hit full stride very quickly

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
We are a Founder & CEO-led organisation operating in the Real Estate 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 Real Estate operations through Cloud 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 Cloud 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 Cloud Services and a strong portfolio of Real Estate 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 Cloud Services projects going forward.

Project summary: Our company needed a reliable technology partner to deliver a complex project within a tight timeline.

This was the smoothest technology project we have ever run. The team's expertise was evident from the first technical discussion, and their ability to translate complex requirements into elegant solutions is remarkable. 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.

PROS

Proactive risk management, domain expertise, fast turnaround on feedback, genuinely invested in our success

Wish we had engaged them sooner; no meaningful issues to report

FAQs

Can I just hire developers from Sq1 to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Sq1, 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 Human Resources, Real Estate, Food & Beverage, Legal Services, Telecommunications and Financial Services, and it has been operating since 1996.
Would Sq1 be a good fit for an early-stage startup?
Generally, yes — companies like Sq1 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 Human Resources, Real Estate, Food & Beverage, Legal Services, Telecommunications and Financial Services, and its typical hourly rate is around $150 - $199.
Has Sq1 actually shipped a SaaS product before?
It's a common line of work for a company like Sq1 — 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 Human Resources, Real Estate, Food & Beverage, Legal Services, Telecommunications and Financial Services, and it has been operating since 1996.
What does Sq1's actual delivery process look like week to week?
Sq1 generally runs something close to a standard structured process — requirements gathering, UI/UX design, development in agile sprints, QA testing along the way, deployment, and support once it's live. For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Design, App Marketing, Web Development and Mobile App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $150 - $199.
Roughly how long does a project with Sq1 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 50 - 249 professionals, Sq1 can scale resources based on project urgency.
What should I expect to pay to work with Sq1?
What Sq1 charges comes down to a handful of variables — how complex the project is, the number of development hours involved, the tech stack required, team size, and which engagement model you pick. Based on available data, Sq1's typical hourly rate is around $150 - $199, with an average project cost of $5000000+.
How do I actually get a real proposal out of Sq1 instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving Sq1 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 Mobile App Design, App Marketing, Web Development and Mobile App Development, and it has experience across industries such as Human Resources, Real Estate, Food & Beverage, Legal Services, Telecommunications and Financial Services.
What's actually in Sq1's technical toolkit?
The exact stack shifts by project, but Sq1 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 experience across industries such as Human Resources, Real Estate, Food & Beverage, Legal Services, Telecommunications and Financial Services, and it has been operating since 1996.
What's the easiest way to actually get in touch with Sq1?
Most businesses reach Sq1 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, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Design, App Marketing, Web Development and Mobile App Development, and it has been operating since 1996.
What makes Sq1 worth considering over other options?
What tends to set Sq1 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 1996, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.
