An app our customers return to daily — the engagement numbers speak for themselves

Nisha Pillai / Director of Engineering - GrowthBridge Ventures

Jan 22, 2026

Project summary: Our legacy LMS had been built for a classroom-first world. Hybrid delivery had exposed its limitations and student satisfaction scores had reflected that for two consecutive years.

Our stakeholder group included board members, clinical leads, compliance officers, and end users — each with different technical literacy and different success criteria. This team navigated that stakeholder landscape as well as any vendor I have seen. They adjusted their communication register depending on the audience without losing the substance. They managed expectations honestly throughout. And they delivered a system that each group can point to as meeting their requirements. That breadth is genuinely uncommon.

PROS

Clear and consistent communication adapted appropriately for both technical and non-technical stakeholders, shared tooling that gave our team real-time visibility, reliable sprint delivery throughout

CONS

The engagement was priced at the quality level rather than the budget level. We evaluated the alternatives and concluded that the delta was a reasonable premium for the reduction in delivery risk

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
GrowthBridge Ventures operates in the Education sector with headquarters in Pune, India. In my role as Director of Engineering I am accountable for the full technology agenda — infrastructure, product, and vendor relationships. We are a commercially driven organisation and every technology decision is evaluated against a clear business case before it is approved.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
We had a defined product vision for our next phase of growth in the Education market but lacked the engineering depth internally to execute it. The Mobile App Development requirements in particular required specialist experience that we could not realistically recruit for on the timeline our business plan required.
What services did the company provide for your project?
End-to-end Mobile App 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?
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 Education 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?
Outstanding. The discipline around asynchronous communication was particularly effective given the time zones involved between Pune, India and the delivery team. Written updates were specific and consistent, response times were same-day for anything that required a decision, and nothing fell through the cracks across a six-month engagement.
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?
Quantifying the impact precisely is complicated by other variables in our business, but the metrics we can attribute directly to the Mobile App Development work are meaningful: session duration up, conversion rate up, error rate down, and our NPS for the digital touchpoint has improved by eleven points. Our account managers report that the new capability is coming up positively in client conversations.
What did you like most about working with this company?
Their instinct for keeping the business objective visible throughout technical decision-making. I have worked with technically excellent teams who lose the strategic thread as complexity increases. This team maintained a clear connection between every architectural choice and the outcome we had agreed to achieve. That orientation made the trade-off conversations significantly easier.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Unreservedly. We are in active scoping conversations for a second engagement and I expect this to develop into a multi-year partnership. For any organisation in the Education sector looking for Mobile App Development expertise combined with genuine delivery discipline, I would put this team at the top of the evaluation list.

Exceeded all expectations — highly recommended

Project summary: We engaged them to build a comprehensive solution addressing our core operational challenges and growth objectives.

We evaluated five vendors before choosing this team, and the decision has been fully validated. Their technical skills are top-tier, but what really sets them apart is their commitment to understanding the business context behind every requirement. The project was delivered on time, the solution is robust and scalable, and the knowledge transfer was thorough. A truly outstanding engagement from start to finish.

Questions & Answers

We are a Founder-led organisation operating in the Human Resources 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 Human Resources operations through ERP 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 ERP 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 ERP Development and a strong portfolio of Human Resources 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.

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.

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 ERP Development projects going forward.

FAQs

Will Vertical Motion sign an NDA before we even discuss the project in detail?
Most professional shops, including Vertical Motion, 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 Canada, and it reports a team size of 2 - 9 professionals.
Is Vertical Motion more of an offshore setup or a local team?
That depends on where Vertical Motion is based and who they primarily serve — some firms like this operate fully offshore, some are local-first, and plenty run a hybrid model that mixes both. For context, its listed capabilities span E-commerce Development, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design, Web Design and Web Development, and its average project cost is reported at $5000000+.
Would Vertical Motion be a good fit for an early-stage startup?
Generally, yes — companies like Vertical Motion 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 Food & Beverage, Human Resources, Gaming & Gambling, Travel & Hospitality, Education and Government & Public Sector, and it has served clients in Canada.
What happens with Vertical Motion after the project actually launches?
Like most established software teams, Vertical Motion 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 served clients in Canada, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.
What does Vertical Motion's actual delivery process look like week to week?
Vertical Motion 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, it has experience across industries such as Food & Beverage, Human Resources, Gaming & Gambling, Travel & Hospitality, Education and Government & Public Sector, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.
Roughly how long does a project with Vertical Motion 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 2 - 9 professionals, Vertical Motion can scale resources based on project urgency.
Does Vertical Motion only work locally, or take on clients elsewhere too?
Vertical Motion isn't necessarily limited to one region and may take on clients across several countries, including Canada, depending on market demand and business partnerships.
What kinds of industries has Vertical Motion actually built for?
Vertical Motion has delivered projects across a range of different industries, including Food & Beverage, Human Resources, Gaming & Gambling, Travel & Hospitality, Education and Government & Public Sector.
What's the easiest way to actually get in touch with Vertical Motion?
Most businesses reach Vertical Motion 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, it has experience across industries such as Food & Beverage, Human Resources, Gaming & Gambling, Travel & Hospitality, Education and Government & Public Sector, and its listed capabilities span E-commerce Development, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design, Web Design and Web Development.
Can Vertical Motion take on an old, outdated system rather than starting from scratch?
Modernizing legacy software is usually within scope for a firm like Vertical Motion — re-platforming, refactoring old code, and moving things onto current frameworks or cloud infrastructure without necessarily rebuilding everything from zero. For context, it has experience across industries such as Food & Beverage, Human Resources, Gaming & Gambling, Travel & Hospitality, Education and Government & Public Sector, and its listed capabilities span E-commerce Development, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design, Web Design and Web Development.
