Best technology partner we have ever worked with

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

The team demonstrated exceptional technical depth throughout every phase of the project. Communication was proactive and transparent — we always knew exactly where things stood. They challenged our assumptions constructively and suggested improvements that made the final product significantly better than our original spec. Delivery was on schedule, the code quality was outstanding, and post-launch support has been prompt and thorough. We could not have asked for a better partner.

PROS

Strong engineering skills, clear and consistent communication, flexible and collaborative approach

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 Director of Strategy-led organisation operating in the Government & Public Sector 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 Government & Public Sector operations through CRM Development. 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 CRM Development 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 CRM Development and a strong portfolio of Government & Public Sector 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 CRM Development projects going forward.

FAQs

Can Toptal take on an old, outdated system rather than starting from scratch?
Modernizing legacy software is usually within scope for a firm like Toptal — re-platforming, refactoring old code, and moving things onto current frameworks or cloud infrastructure without necessarily rebuilding everything from zero. For context, its listed capabilities span Android App Development, iOS App Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design, and its average project cost is reported at $50000+.
Does Toptal actually build with AI, or just talk about it?
Plenty of modern software teams, Toptal 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 it has been operating since 2010.
Would Toptal be a good fit for an early-stage startup?
Generally, yes — companies like Toptal 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 Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology, Government & Public Sector, Nonprofit & NGO, Sports & Fitness, Retail & E-commerce and Telecommunications, and it reports a team size of 1000+ professionals.
Can I just hire developers from Toptal to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Toptal, 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, its listed capabilities span Android App Development, iOS App Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.
What happens with Toptal after the project actually launches?
Like most established software teams, Toptal 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, Government & Public Sector, Nonprofit & NGO, Sports & Fitness, Retail & E-commerce and Telecommunications, and it has served clients in USA.
Has Toptal actually shipped a SaaS product before?
It's a common line of work for a company like Toptal — 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, Government & Public Sector, Nonprofit & NGO, Sports & Fitness, Retail & E-commerce and Telecommunications, and its listed capabilities span Android App Development, iOS App Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design.
What's actually in Toptal's technical toolkit?
The exact stack shifts by project, but Toptal 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 USA, and its listed capabilities span Android App Development, iOS App Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design.
What's the easiest way to actually get in touch with Toptal?
Most businesses reach Toptal 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 Android App Development, iOS App Development, iPhone App Development, Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design, and its average project cost is reported at $50000+.
