Arcanys’ scope of work encompasses end‑to‑end application development across both frontend and backend components, performed in accordance with our engineering standards and delivery processes. Their responsibilities include producing clean, maintainable, and well‑tested code; participating in code reviews; supporting QA activities through the creation and execution of unit, integration, and functional tests; and resolving identified defects. Arcanys also contributes to build and deployment activities, assists in system monitoring and troubleshooting, and provides clear and timely communication regarding progress, risks, and dependencies. Key deliverables include completed development work that meets functional and technical requirements, documented test coverage, resolved issues, deployment‑ready outputs, and consistent adherence to quality, reliability, and security expectations.

The project demonstrated clear progress through the consistent completion of planned deliverables within sprint timelines, reduced carryover work, improved test coverage through QA activities, and timely defect resolution. Arcanys also supported issue resolution, contributing to fewer release‑related problems and a more stable delivery performance overall.

Arcanys demonstrated solid project management by delivering items within agreed timelines and maintaining clear, timely communication. They responded promptly to our needs, adjusted to priority changes, and collaborated effectively to support smooth delivery.

I was impressed by Arcanys' modern work practices and unwavering professionalism, even during calamities. The organization’s resilience and ability to maintain high standards under challenging circumstances stood out to me.

Nothing comes to mind for improvement. The team created a positive and supportive environment throughout the process.

The team is responsible for developing new features, maintaining, and supporting the existing application. The scope includes both product enhancement and technical support to ensure smooth and reliable operations across all user touchpoints.

System stability and minimal downtime.

The team follows a structured and transparent project management process. Deliverables are consistently completed on time, with clear communication throughout each development cycle. We receive daily progress reports from team members, and a dedicated stand-up channel is used for regular updates, task tracking, and issue resolution. This approach ensures alignment, visibility, and timely delivery of all project milestones.

The team’s communication is transparent, and they are highly responsive to our needs. Their proactive approach to identifying issues and suggesting improvements sets them apart, making collaboration smooth and efficient. They consistently check in on progress and remain open to feedback, ensuring continuous improvement and alignment with our goals.

We’ve suggested providing AWS training for the team members to further strengthen their cloud expertise. Additionally, we’ve requested that one of the team members receive training in mobile development to expand the team’s skill set. We also recommended implementing an on-call roster to ensure timely support and coverage when needed.

I’m the CTO of AirAware Labs, a company that builds tools to help people minimize their exposure to air pollution.

We needed engineering and design resources.

Arcanys provides us with IT staff augmentation services. The team works remotely and focuses on our main project, AirTrack, our mobile app. So far, the team has worked on mobile app development, React dashboards, and backend servers. We need to include AI feedback generation features as well.

We work with a frontend developer, a full stack developer, a designer, and a project manager. Arcanys has been happy to work to ensure the team is correct.

Someone referred Arcanys to us. We initially discussed our requirements with Arcanys’ CEO and CTO to understand what skills we needed and what skills Arcanys had to find the right fit. After reviewing the CVs of Arcanys’ engineers, we interviewed them to ensure their skill sets were perfect for what we needed.

We’ve spent around $95,000.

We started working with Arcanys in November 2024, and our engagement is ongoing.

Thanks to Arcanys, we launched our first mobile app within 10 weeks, and the team has done really well. We have also added mobile payments and AI feedback generation using LLM AI models, all within six weeks. The team has delivered several good milestones.

We work on a time and materials basis. I’m happy that Arcanys produces high-quality work within a reasonable timeline. The team is super engaged, and communication is very good.

Arcanys’ developers are proactive and have good engineering and communication skills.

There's nothing for them to improve. They're really great.

Have initial conversations with Arcanys’ CTO and CEO, and discuss what you need and your expectations. Be clear about that, and then Arcanys can help find engineers to deliver it.

The functionality and the application we’ve delivered over the last year have been a testament to how successful this has been. The application is relatively defect-free and well-written. The QA side of things has been proactive.

We communicate over Slack and have meetings on Google Meet. The communication has been pretty good, and they’ve managed the time zone differences well.

The whole team has stood out. Eric (Technical Lead) and Ayana (UX/UI Designer) have helped us greatly with the requirements. Our Scrum Master is doing a brilliant job, and Nikolai (Software Engineer) has added invaluable insights in terms of his knowledge of data, reporting, and the Microsoft environment.

Their proactivity is the highlight. They’ve been completely fine with the reimagined requirements and reacted to them really well. We often need things to be presentable in a couple of weeks, and they’ve pulled out all the stops to achieve those things.

They had a slow start. The first few weeks weren’t awesome, but it wasn’t terrible. They just need to find a way to start quicker.

I have no hesitation in recommending Arcanys. They’re cost-effective, and the communication is awesome. They’re a really helpful company to work with, right from the CEO to the individual developers. They’re a friendly bunch, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to work with them.

Arcanys provided web development support on three different projects over time. On the one hand, the maintenance of a marketplace, on the other hand, the creation of a CRM from scratch, as well as another real estate portfolio valuation tool in real-time.

The most remarkable measurable results have been the implementation of the projects. Both the CRM and the real-time commercial asset valuation tool. The deliveries have always been fulfilled following the planned sprint.

We have been planning deliveries every two weeks and have always been happy with the level of performance. They have not only been dedicated to delivering but have been practically involved in the definition of new developments to be in the decision-making process of the next technologies or architectures.

The quality of the software delivered. They are great professionals and have helped us to continue delivering software on time and without problems. Also, the integration with the team has been excellent, there has been no noticeable difference between working with the team geolocated at the company's headquarters and them.

Right now we do not detect any areas of improvement or things that could have been done differently.
