Sailing Byte

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder of Wedlinkco PSA, a modern wedding platform that enables couples to receive monetary gifts online safely and conveniently.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Sailing Byte?

We hired Sailing Byte to build our online wedding gift platform from scratch and help turn our business idea into a fully functional product ready for launch. Our main goals were to create a secure and scalable platform, implement the key user journeys, integrate payments and user verification, and deliver a solution that aligned with both our technical and business requirements.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Sailing Byte managed the full scope of work required to bring our platform from idea to launch. This included product planning, platform design, custom development, implementation of core user journeys, integration of payments and user verification, and technical preparation for launch. The main deliverables were a fully operational online wedding gift platform, the key technical integrations, and a strong base for further development and scaling.
Sailing Byte was responsible for delivering the key functional areas of the platform from end to end. This included the main website and platform infrastructure, user registration and account flows, core user journeys, payment functionality, verification-related processes, external integrations, and the technical setup needed to prepare the product for launch. In practice, they delivered the essential sections and features required for the platform to go live as a working product.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Sailing Byte.

How did you come to work with Sailing Byte?

We found them on Clutch. We chose them because they had high ratings, their pricing fit our budget, and they offered good value for the cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from December 2025–February 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The measurable outcome was the successful end-to-end delivery of our platform, moving the project from an initial concept to a live product. Sailing Byte delivered the core platform features, key integrations, and the technical infrastructure required for launch, which represented a major milestone for Wedlinkco PSA. For this stage of the business, the most important indicator of success was having a functional, launch-ready platform in place.
Because the platform has only recently launched, we’re still at an early stage in measuring post-launch success through user and transaction data. For now, the main indicators were successful go-live, the correct operation of key platform features, payment and verification functionality, and technical stability. Commercial KPIs such as registrations and transaction volumes will be more relevant as the platform develops further.
The platform’s operation and stability were verified through a functional review of the main user journeys and confirmation that the core technical components were working correctly at launch. We focused in particular on the critical flows, including registration, user account processes, payment-related functionality, verification steps, and external integrations. 
Since the launch is still recent, the initial validation was based mainly on technical and functional readiness, while feedback from early users is expected to build over time.

How did Sailing Byte perform from a project management standpoint?

Sailing Byte’s project management was well-structured, responsive, and dependable throughout the collaboration. Communication was clear and consistent, they remained engaged at each stage of the project, and they supported both the technical and practical needs of the platform’s development. From our perspective, the key deliverables were completed in line with the agreed timeline, and the project moved forward in an efficient and organized way.
We primarily communicated via email and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The most impressive aspect of working with Sailing Byte was their end-to-end approach and their ability to turn our concept into a launch-ready platform. They combined strong technical execution with clear communication and a good understanding of our business objectives. That combination made them feel like a true development partner rather than just a service provider.

Are there any areas they could improve?

The project was complex, and as expected, some elements required adjustments along the way. However, Sailing Byte was responsive and supportive throughout the process. Overall, we viewed the cooperation very positively.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the managing Director, we provide social media services to automotive dealerships & estate agencies.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Sailing Byte, and what were your goals?

Due to the amount of clients we had, it was becoming a concern regarding scaling the business & employing more staff. We had the idea to create some automation software that would help staff speed up processes and allow up to grow quickly without the need to take on more staff. After discussing our model with Sailingbyte, we had the idea to automate design templates, meaning we no longer needed to manually use photoshop etc.

From there, we then looked at automating text content. This resulted in us going from needing 1 member of staff per 25 clients to be able to manage over 2000 clients with only 3 staff members. We are now working on automating more of our processes to make the entire system fully automated including the use of ai.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We found them through a referral, after looking at 1 or 2 of there previous projects and also discussing our needs, it was enough for me to happily choose Sailingbyte for our software development.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Alot of our work was social media based, so we started mainly with API from Facebook & Instagram. From there, we needed custom software for automation scripts, ai for vehicle recognition, payment terminals & email marketing via API for Keap / Infusionsoft. Everything combined created a system that now runs with minimal staff input.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We mainly work with 2 sailingbyte team members - frontend and backend. When projects are more time sensitive, more team members are added to our projects. Often they will all discuss ideas amongst themselves, to come up with the best plan / strategy.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Previously we would require 1 x staff per 25 x clients - with our new software we are able to manage 1500+ with a team of 3 staff. Alot of our manual processes have been turned into automation, meaning we can concentrate more on growth rather than small, time consuming tasks

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The project management style is perfect. We often discuss plans for the week on a Monday morning. We have a dashboard in which I am able to talk in realtime chat with sailingbyte for which they respond instantly to any and all questions.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The most impressive thing about sailingbyte is that nothing is ever to difficult - I am yet to find anything they say they cannot do. All my crazy ideas are met with solutions.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Everything was perfect

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO of my wife’s company. She’s a doctor, so the idea for her business is telemedicine: working on medical consultation and providing medicine prescriptions online.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Sailing Byte?

We brought in Sailing Byte to help us with this software integration.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I sketched and designed an idea of how the system was supposed to work, and Sailing Byte developed the system. This included taking all the questionaries of the initial interview with the patients and transforming them into an electronic form.

What is the team composition?

I work with five people from Sailing Byte. They’re all software developers; some of them take care of the frontend, and others take care of the backend.

How did you come to work with Sailing Byte?

Sailing Byte was a recommendation of a good friend of mine. He used to be the Sailing Byte owner’s teacher.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent just above $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2020, and I’m still working with them on an ongoing basis.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

The cooperation with Sailing Byte has been very fruitful, and the first sign of our engagement's success is that the system works as expected and designed. The second sign is that the system has never had any critical defects, and Sailing Byte has quickly and professionally taken care of all the small issues that have arisen. Finally, thanks to their fast response, we’ve never suspended our services due to a problem with the system.

How did Sailing Byte perform from a project management standpoint?

For the day-to-day work and the current development, Sailing Byte takes care of the project through a ticketing system. We set up a system between our company and theirs where we log everything that comes across, such as things that can be improved or added, and they take care of them in the next sprint or cycle.

We do this in two categories: development and support. Their team gives us constant updates on the tickets, so we’re not losing anything.

If there is an urgent situation, and the system detects an error, it automatically reports the issue to me and Sailing Byte. These cases are considered of high priority and attended to immediately. However, in the last 12 months, we’ve only got 2–3 500 errors.

Finally, if a critical error were to come up, Sailing Byte has a direct phone line, so I can immediately call them, even in the middle of the night.

What did you find most impressive about them?

First of all, Sailing Byte does what they say they would do. Secondly, the quality of their communication and understanding is very good, so I’m not losing any information or getting lost in the translation. They’re always on top of our discussions.

Their third strength is that they have a very professional way of handling things, and they always go straight to the point. Finally, they have strong timekeeping. We’ve had some tight deadlines, but they’ve always been kept.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No. Sailing Byte suits me well, and I’m pretty comfortable with them. I can’t think of anything that they could improve on.

I just hope that the service that I’m getting doesn’t get regulated by any stretch in the future. So far, our collaboration has been very easy, and it all has gone smoothly. Maybe this is because I’m also an engineer, so I know what to expect from them, and they know what to expect from me.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Sailing Byte has great technical capabilities, delivers on time, and has excellent communication skills. Those three elements are key for the success of your development.
