Our Clients

  • We have worked with Ombu Labs on a number of software development projects, and have been very satisfied with the results. The developers at Ombu Labs are knowledgeable, motivated and easy to work with, and go above and beyond our expectations for each project. They have been an invaluable resource to us and we look forward to continuing to work with the Ombu Labs team on future projects.

    Client promptworksMike Nicholaides | CTO & Co-Founder of PromptWorks

  • Having an external person working on Checker Cruncher was really useful for me. It helped in terms of accountability and having a second pair of eyes for things like testing, bug-finding and stylistic choices.

    Client checkercruncherThomas Brooks Thomas | Founder of Checker Cruncher

  • Ombu Labs exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond and tried to help out even when the contract was up. Ombu Labs was willing to integrate with our team, and worked with the Junior Developer on our team to get to full productivity.

    Client storenvyWill Bridges | Director of Engineering at Storenvy

  • Recently, the team at Ombu Labs helped us increase the performance of our mobile app backend. We found their approach to be smart, methodical, and very effective. Their team is highly skilled, they communicate well, and they are a pleasure to work with. I'd gladly work with Ombu Labs again.

    Client nightowlHaig Didizian | Co-Founder of NightOwl

  • I really appreciate how Ombu Labs was able to carry things forward when I wasn't available to provide input. Knowing that their developers were able to write code, handle code reviews and keep everything together was really helpful.

    Client reenhancedNick Hance | President of Reenhanced, LLC

  • Ombu Labs executed a full upgrade of our application from Rails 4.0 to 5.1, including preparation for an eventual 5.2 upgrade. The team adapted to our environment and kept a clear focus on the goal, resisting the temptation of feature-type distractions. Their effort allowed us to keep up to date with Rails versions without detracting from progress on other goals.

    Client powerBen Langfeld | Solutions Architect at Power Home Remodeling Group

  • It is a rarity to find transparency, thoughtfulness and a superb quality + value equation in an outsourced digital tech team. Ombu Labs was able to bring my vision to life on-line seamlessly, despite the usual start-up constraints of small budgets + short lead-times and high output expectations. Ombu continues, months post-delivery, to stand-behind their product and over-perform from a client services POV— a fact which makes them our digital agency of record.

    Client loliTina Hedges | CEO at LOLI

  • When we interviewed Ernesto for a short term contract project I told him that as the most expensive applicant he would be expected to produce the highest quality of work. Over a year later he and Mauro are an integral part of our team. In addition to producing high quality code they also suggest improvements to our development processes and mentor our new engineers. I would definitely recommend Ombu Labs to a friend in need.
