Write a Review

A DevOps engagement that delivered cultural change as well as technical change

Project summary: Our internal product thinking was strong but our execution capability in this specific technology domain was limited. We needed depth, not generalism.

We had worked with three agencies before this engagement. The comparison is not flattering to the others. What distinguished this team was a systematic approach to understanding the problem before proposing a solution — something that sounds obvious and is practiced far less often than it should be. The delivery phase ran to schedule, the codebase is clean enough that our internal engineers made positive comments during handover review, and we have not logged a critical incident in five months of live operation. We intend to use them for our next phase of work.

PROS

Commercially transparent throughout — no hidden assumptions, no bill shock at the end, change requests that were fair and clearly explained rather than used as a margin-recovery mechanism

CONS

Their discovery process is more rigorous than we were accustomed to and required more preparation from our side than we had initially allocated — but the quality of what followed justified every hour of it

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
I lead technology at Windmill Tech BV, a growth-stage Nonprofit & NGO business based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. 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?
We had a defined product vision for our next phase of growth in the Nonprofit & NGO market but lacked the engineering depth internally to execute it. The DevOps Services 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?
The scope covered the full DevOps Services lifecycle: discovery and requirements definition, solution architecture, iterative development across twelve sprints, integration testing, performance validation, production deployment, and a structured four-week hypercare period. They also provided system documentation and a knowledge transfer programme for our internal team.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
A trusted peer in the Nonprofit & NGO sector had used them for a comparable DevOps Services engagement and their recommendation was unequivocal. Our own due diligence confirmed the pattern they described. The combination of domain knowledge, DevOps Services depth, and demonstrated delivery discipline was the deciding factor.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Thoroughly and precisely. The requirements document they produced was detailed enough that our QA team used it directly to write acceptance criteria. Every user story had a defined business objective attached. Nothing was left to interpretation. That discipline in the requirements phase paid dividends throughout development and testing.
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 to both. There was a single sprint where a dependency on a third-party API introduced a one-week delay. The team identified it three weeks in advance, presented two mitigation options, and we agreed on an approach that recovered the schedule within the same sprint cycle. That level of foresight is what separates good project management from reactive problem management.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
We went live four months ago. User adoption exceeded the target we had set by 23 percent in the first month. Support ticket volume has dropped measurably. The features we had deferred because the previous architecture made them prohibitively expensive to build are now in development. The platform they built has opened our roadmap.
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 Nonprofit & NGO network — in both cases to peers facing DevOps Services 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.

FAQs

What happens with XB Software after the project actually launches?
Like most established software teams, XB Software typically sticks around post-launch for ongoing maintenance — bug fixes, performance tuning, security patching, new feature work, and general technical support. For context, its listed capabilities span Custom Application Development, Enterprise App Development, ERP Solutions, Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design, and it has experience across industries such as Sports & Fitness, Construction, Logistics & Supply Chain, Nonprofit & NGO, Mining & Metals and Environmental Services.
Has XB Software actually shipped a SaaS product before?
It's a common line of work for a company like XB Software — 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 served clients in Belarus, and it has been operating since 2008.
How do I actually get a real proposal out of XB Software instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving XB Software 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 Custom Application Development, Enterprise App Development, ERP Solutions, Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design, and its average project cost is reported at $25000+.
What makes XB Software worth considering over other options?
What tends to set XB Software 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 2008, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.
What's actually in XB Software's technical toolkit?
The exact stack shifts by project, but XB Software 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, its listed capabilities span Custom Application Development, Enterprise App Development, ERP Solutions, Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design, and its typical hourly rate is around $25 - $49.
What should I actually be looking at when comparing a company like XB Software to others?
When you're weighing up a software partner such as XB Software, 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. For context, it has experience across industries such as Sports & Fitness, Construction, Logistics & Supply Chain, Nonprofit & NGO, Mining & Metals and Environmental Services, and it reports a team size of 50 - 249 professionals.
Will XB Software sign an NDA before we even discuss the project in detail?
Most professional shops, including XB Software, 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 Belarus, and it has been operating since 2008.
Can I just hire developers from XB Software to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like XB Software, 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 Sports & Fitness, Construction, Logistics & Supply Chain, Nonprofit & NGO, Mining & Metals and Environmental Services, and its listed capabilities span Custom Application Development, Enterprise App Development, ERP Solutions, Mobile App Development and UI-UX Design.
What kinds of industries has XB Software actually built for?
XB Software has delivered projects across a range of different industries, including Sports & Fitness, Construction, Logistics & Supply Chain, Nonprofit & NGO, Mining & Metals and Environmental Services.
What are the actual contract options if I want to work with XB Software?
Most companies structured like XB Software give you a choice between a fixed-price contract, a dedicated team arrangement, or time-and-materials billing, so you can pick whichever lines up with your budget and how well-defined your scope already is. For context, it has served clients in Belarus, and its typical hourly rate is around $25 - $49.
