Testimonials
We worked on a Calendar application with Mobindustry. Mobindustry handled the client-side of the app, while my team worked on the server-side. The Mobindustry team synced with my team and delivered everything on time and on budget.
The Mobindustry team followed a strict technical task meticulously, and when they encountered any inconsistencies in a technical task, they met us halfway through and solved issues without any additional costs.
I was impressed with the communication culture at Mobindustry. Project managers control the whole development process and inform about any issues before they become problems. This transparent and timely communication allowed us to have a smooth and organized development process.
They helped build the business architecture and they were just phenomenal at that — their process was crazy. They’re just so in tune with what we’re talking about, that they’re able to stop conflicts from happening on an architectural level.
One of the biggest things about Mobindustry is there hasn’t been rework. We haven’t thrown something away and done something else over — we haven’t had waste and that’s highly unusual. There may be waste that I don’t know about, but it’s never come to me. There hasn’t been a direction that we took and had to reverse on, everything has just been well done.

Frequently Asked Questions
2. Users don’t find your product useful. The prototype created during a discovery phase can be tested with a focus group. Gather feedback from the representatives of your target audience and make sure your product is useful.
3. You significantly exceed both your budget and delivery deadline. Technical and business documentation leaves no room for uncertainty: each activity will be estimated with consideration for risks and any unexpected situations.
4. You choose the wrong company to work with. A software discovery phase service is a great way to know your vendor, see how they communicate, how strong their expertise is, and how responsibly they fulfill their duties
5. The technologies your developers choose are incompatible. A technical specification is reviewed by experienced developers who make sure the tech stack is harmonious and has potential for further enhancements and integrations.
6. Your project’s architecture isn’t scalable. A solution architect creates an architecture that can handle the future growth of your user base as well as any improvements, integrations, and new features.
7. It takes too much time and money to support and maintain your project because it uses the wrong technologies. During a project discovery phase, a product is planned from A to Z, and this allows developers to build an elegant solution from scratch, that’s easy to maintain and support further
8. Communication problems lead to project failure. When any issues arise, all team members always have a technical specification that contains every single detail about your project, so you have a clear plan to lean onto.
