The outcome we specified, delivered the way we needed it, by people we would hire again

Beatriz Cavalcanti / Chief Digital Officer - Cerrado Tech SA

Project summary: Our connected vehicle platform needed to handle telemetry data from an expanding EV fleet while supporting over-the-air update orchestration. No off-the-shelf platform handled both requirements well.

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.
I lead technology at Cerrado Tech SA, a growth-stage Automotive business based in Brasília, Brazil. As Chief Digital Officer my remit spans product engineering, platform operations, and strategic vendor partnerships. We had reached an inflection point where our internal capacity was not sufficient to execute our roadmap at the pace our market required.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
Regulatory requirements in our Automotive segment had changed and the compliance timeline was set by our regulator, not by us. The Industry-Specific Solutions 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 Industry-Specific Solutions 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?
A trusted peer in the Automotive sector had used them for a comparable Industry-Specific Solutions engagement and their recommendation was unequivocal. Our own due diligence confirmed the pattern they described. The combination of domain knowledge, Industry-Specific Solutions depth, and demonstrated delivery discipline was the deciding factor.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Comprehensively. The discovery phase they ran was more thorough than anything we had experienced with previous vendors. They challenged requirements that were vague or contradictory, proposed alternatives where our initial thinking was limiting, and produced a functional specification that our internal stakeholders agreed was the clearest articulation of the product they had seen written down.
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?
The project landed on time. The budget was managed within the agreed ceiling, which included one client-driven scope addition that was quoted fairly and handled without affecting the original delivery stream. The discipline around budget transparency throughout meant there was no surprise at invoice stage.
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 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 Industry-Specific Solutions programme in the Automotive space and will deliver against a serious brief, this is the team.

FAQs

What are the actual contract options if I want to work with Squads?

Is Squads more of an offshore setup or a local team?

What should I actually be looking at when comparing a company like Squads to others?

For context, it has served clients in Netherlands, and it has experience across industries such as Media & Entertainment, Food & Beverage, Manufacturing, Automotive and Environmental Services.
What happens with Squads after the project actually launches?
Like most established software teams, Squads 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 Media & Entertainment, Food & Beverage, Manufacturing, Automotive and Environmental Services, and its typical hourly rate is around $50 - $99.
How do I actually get a real proposal out of Squads instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving Squads 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 Media & Entertainment, Food & Beverage, Manufacturing, Automotive and Environmental Services, and it has been operating since 2013.
What should I expect to pay to work with Squads?
What Squads 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, Squads's typical hourly rate is around $50 - $99, with an average project cost of $10000+.
What's actually in Squads's technical toolkit?
The exact stack shifts by project, but Squads 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 Netherlands, and it has been operating since 2013.
Can I just hire developers from Squads to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Squads, 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 Media & Entertainment, Food & Beverage, Manufacturing, Automotive and Environmental Services, and its listed capabilities span Custom Software Development, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design, Web Design and Web Development.
