Their attention to detail, willingness to go the extra mile, and genuine care for our success made this one of the best vendor relationships we have had in years.

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
We are a Founder-led organisation operating in the Telecommunications 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 Telecommunications 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 Telecommunications 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.

Cross-platform delivery that felt native on every device from day one

Erik Lindqvist / Chief Technology Officer - Nordic Cloud AB
Verified
Jan 28, 2026

Project summary: Evolving open banking obligations required us to rebuild our API layer from the ground up. The architecture needed to be compliant by default, not bolted on after the fact.

The technical quality of the final deliverable is the easiest thing to point to. The automated test coverage is thorough, the deployment pipeline is reliable, the documentation is genuinely useful rather than ceremonially produced. But the metric I keep returning to is the number of post-launch conversations we have not had to have. No incident calls at two in the morning. No emergency patches. No retrospective discussions about what went wrong. The absence of those events is the evidence I would show to someone considering this vendor.

PROS

Production system that has performed as specified since go-live without remediation work, documentation thorough enough to support internal maintenance, knowledge transfer that left our team genuinely capable

CONS

Their insistence on a detailed functional specification before development began felt like friction at the time. In retrospect, it was the reason the development phase ran without the ambiguity that has derailed similar projects for us previously

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
I lead technology at Nordic Cloud AB, a growth-stage Financial Services business based in Stockholm, Sweden. As Chief Technology 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?
A competitive threat had accelerated our roadmap. We had planned a significant Mobile App Development investment for the following year. External pressure moved that timeline forward by six months and required us to find an external partner rather than attempting to build internally in the time available.
What services did the company provide for your project?
The core engagement was Mobile App Development delivery, though their scope expanded to include technical consultancy during discovery that materially improved our requirements. They also took ownership of the third-party integration workstream that had been a coordination challenge in previous projects, removing that complexity from our internal team entirely.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
The quality of the questions they asked during the briefing process was the first indicator. Vendors who ask precise questions in the sales phase tend to apply the same rigour during delivery. That hypothesis proved accurate. The technical proposal was substantive, the team structure was senior throughout, and the pricing was transparent.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Extremely well, in part because they had relevant Financial Services experience that reduced the context-setting overhead significantly. They understood the domain vocabulary, asked the right questions, and translated business requirements into technical specifications with a fidelity that meant the development phase had very few clarification cycles.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Professional and efficient. The project manager maintained a clear view of the critical path at all times and communicated changes to it transparently. The one significant scope adjustment we made mid-project was handled through a clean change request process — fairly priced, clearly documented, and absorbed without disrupting the overall timeline.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
Yes. I had privately built a contingency expectation into my planning given the project complexity and the number of integrations involved. None of that contingency was needed. The delivery landed on the agreed date and the final invoice matched the approved budget to within a fraction of a percent. That outcome is rarer than the industry acknowledges.
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 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, without reservation. I have already made two direct referrals within my Financial Services network — in both cases to peers facing Mobile App Development challenges similar to ours. I gave those referrals with confidence because I knew the experience I described was reproducible, not the result of exceptional circumstances on our engagement.

DevOps transformation that accelerated our release cycle

Project summary: We required a custom platform that would give us a measurable competitive advantage in our market.

Working with this team was genuinely refreshing. They brought creative ideas to the table, executed them with precision, and managed the project with a level of professionalism we rarely see. Feedback was acted on quickly, the documentation is excellent, and the end product has transformed how we operate. Our customers have noticed the difference immediately. We have already recommended them to three other companies in our network.

What should I actually be looking at when comparing a company like The Frontside to others?
When you're weighing up a software partner such as The Frontside, 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.

Will The Frontside sign an NDA before we even discuss the project in detail?

For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design, Web Design and Web Development, and it has been operating since 2005.
Has The Frontside actually shipped a SaaS product before?
It's a common line of work for a company like The Frontside — 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 Telecommunications, Advertising & Marketing, Financial Services, Aerospace & Defense, Energy & Utilities and Environmental Services, and its typical hourly rate is around $150 - $199.
What makes The Frontside worth considering over other options?

Founded in 2005, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.
Does The Frontside only work locally, or take on clients elsewhere too?
The Frontside isn't necessarily limited to one region and may take on clients across several countries, including USA, depending on market demand and business partnerships.
What are the actual contract options if I want to work with The Frontside?

For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design, Web Design and Web Development, and its average project cost is reported at $25000+.
What does The Frontside's actual delivery process look like week to week?

For context, it has served clients in USA, and it has experience across industries such as Telecommunications, Advertising & Marketing, Financial Services, Aerospace & Defense, Energy & Utilities and Environmental Services.
What happens with The Frontside after the project actually launches?
Like most established software teams, The Frontside 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 Telecommunications, Advertising & Marketing, Financial Services, Aerospace & Defense, Energy & Utilities and Environmental Services, and it reports a team size of 10 - 49 professionals.
