Atomic Object

I'm the product lead at Flow, a real estate technology company focused on providing the best hospitality experience. Our mobile app is used by tenants of Flow properties to manage their leasing experience.

We initially hired Atomic Object to build out the front end mobile experience for the Flow mobile app.

Atomic Object's scope included development, project delivery, and some support in project and product definition. They helped deliver a Flow mobile app written in the Deepsky codebase (front end only) on iOS and Android. After that deliverable, we retained Atomic Object to further develop more products. They helped deliver Lighthouse, a web-based leasing product, Waves, a web-based internal tool, and DeepDive, a web-based developer de-bug tool.

Probably around 40 across the lifespan of the project.

Our CTO had worked with Atomic Object in the past.

We started working together in November 2023, and the project is still ongoing.

We measure success through the number of app downloads and the number of Deepsky accounts created.

The project management team is extremely organized, professional, and adapted to Flow's culture and needs. We communicate using Slack.

I'm most impressed with the people. Everyone at Atomic Object is low ego, capable, smart, and excellent at communication.

No, there aren't any.

We partnered with Atomic Object after a competitive RFP process to support the design and front-end development of Seagull Coast, a coastal and Great Lakes safety application. The project focused on validating low-fidelity concepts, creating high-fidelity prototypes, and developing the front-end experience for a platform that delivers environmental conditions, hazard information, and safety guidance to help users make informed decisions on and around the water. Given the importance of usability and clarity in communicating safety-related information, strong design and execution were critical to the success of the project.

Our goal was to release a minimal viable product (MVP) mobile application. The project remained on schedule, communication was proactive, and deliverables consistently met expectations. While Atomic Object operates at a premium price point, the quality of the team, the maturity of their delivery practices, and the overall professionalism of the engagement reflected that investment. We were extremely pleased with the outcome of an MVP application and would confidently recommend Atomic Object to organizations looking for a partner that combines strong design capabilities, disciplined project delivery, and high-quality development execution.

Their project management and delivery approach was highly disciplined. Work was thoughtfully scoped and broken down into manageable pieces, sprint planning was effective, and the team maintained a consistent two-week sprint cadence. Estimates were accurate, documentation was comprehensive, and project tracking was excellent throughout the engagement. The level of organization and attention to detail gave us confidence that the project was always under control.

The service delivery lead played a critical role in the success of the project and was one of the strongest aspects of the engagement. They ensured the project was thoroughly planned, coordinated, and executed from start to finish. Requirements were carefully understood, documented, and communicated to the team, and there was always clear visibility into scope, progress, risks, and next steps. Compared to other vendors we have worked with, Atomic Object required significantly less management and oversight from our team, which allowed us to stay focused on strategic decisions rather than day-to-day project coordination.

Nothing we can think of at this time.

I’m the Director of technology at Biggby Coffee. We’re a purpose-driven coffee shop franchise offering gourmet coffee, exceptional customer service, and community engagement, with over 450 locations nationwide.

We needed help rebuilding the front end of our consumer app in order to drive engagement and improve overall usability.

Atomic Object worked with us to define customer journeys, UI/UX, and native app implementation. The team was responsible for drafting customer stories, designing the UI/UX, implementing the native iOS and Android apps, and integrating the code with our in-house engineering team.

We worked with 6-10 teammates from Atomic Object.

I knew some of Atomic Object’s team members from my personal life, so I was already informed about their reputation in the region. We chose them because they had high ratings, were close to my geographic location, had a great culture fit, and offered good value for the cost.

We worked together from July–October 2025.

Atomic Object’s work led to an increase in our app’s adoption and engagement.

They were excellent. The team was thoughtful and easy to work with. We communicated via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

Atomic Object’s genuine excitement to work on the project was impressive. Their team cared not just about the tech but also about our customers and our business.

I can’t think of anything for them to improve.

I’m the VP of product at Mojave Energy Systems. We develop advanced liquid desiccant air conditioning systems that significantly increase energy efficiency, reduce refrigerant use, and improve indoor air quality for commercial buildings. Our systems offer substantial energy and cost savings compared to traditional HVAC solutions.

We needed help with the creation of a web-based selection and quoting software for our commercial HVAC product.

Atomic Object has started from nothing and built a functioning web app based on our specifications. The team has set up the front- and backend of the software, including authentication. The web app helps users select the right HVAC unit for their needs and outputs documentation PDFs, quotes, and hour-by-hour annual energy analysis showing how much electricity they will save using a Mojave unit over a traditional one. Atomic Object continues to support feature development of the software and ongoing maintenance.

We’ve worked with 2–5 teammates from Atomic Object.

We found them through a referral. We chose them over other options because they were close to our geographic location, had a great culture fit, and offered good value for the cost.

We started working together in July 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.

The software has over 860 users, and over 4,500 units have been selected and quoted for customers. The software takes less than two minutes for a customer to fully specify a unit, whereas the old process required emailing an engineer, which would take at least one business day. Moreover, we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from customers on the quality of the software, especially for a startup at our stage.

Atomic Object’s project management is excellent. The team is very communicative and good at escalating upcoming issues. Moreover, they’ve delivered on time. We primarily communicate in person.

Atomic Object’s delivery lead is excellent at communicating trade-offs and managing the budget and resources. I feel that he is really my advocate at Atomic Object. It also feels like all the developers behave like members of Mojave.

There’s nothing they need to improve.

We have won new business directly attributable to our analytics dashboard feature.

Project management was excellent an admirable in a very complex, multi-pronged engagement. Atomic gladly accommodated more detailed and frequent updates on budget pacing when I asked for it, setting up a tracker and meeting that allowed us to tightly manage scope and tradeoffs across the project prongs. We delivered on budget and on time.

Atomic Object's team is inherently product- and business-minded in how they approach a project, allowing their software development to sharply meet my and my customers' needs. This is not a dev shop where we lobbed features requests over a fence. We collaborated to improve my product and my business. I genuinely felt I had super smart people on their team thinking about my business beyond the scope of our engagement, taking a sincere interest in our success.

Proposed timeline turned out to be slightly aggressive -- however, nature of the scope was highly ambigious at the start.
