Mercury Development

Development provides software integration and mobile app development for turnkey retail platforms, ensuring up-to-date functionality and system cohesion by scaling from 2–10 resources as needed. The team’s precise task breakdowns, affordable price point, and proactive reporting strengthen the partnership. "

We’ve actually brought Mercury in across three totally different companies. First it was an app for car sales, then later they stepped in to fix a fire safety app that needed help, and now they’re building stuff for a valve manufacturer. Kinda shows they can jump into all sorts of industries and just get the work done. "

The whole point of this project was to clean up the brand’s online rep, get more good reviews out there, and just boost how we show up online. What stuck with me was how sharp the Mercury team is- they really know their stuff. Anytime I had a question, they had an answer or a fix ready. Super easy to lean on them. "

We started off with some discovery sessions and a beta demo, then went through a few rounds of tweaks where they adjusted both how it worked and how it looked based on what we asked for. The whole build went pretty smooth. Gotta say, Mikhail, the PM, was great to deal with. Super easy to talk to and somehow turned what I wanted into clear technical stuff without me having to overexplain. "

We kicked things off with weekly calls where Mercury really dug into what we needed and tossed out different options - platforms, stacks, UX ideas, the works. They put together a working prototype pretty fast. What stood out was how upfront they were about costs and keeping the MVP lean, which we really appreciated. Honestly, they feel more like a partner than just some dev shop. And since they know startups inside out, they kinda guided us through the whole thing without overcomplicating it. "

Mercury built us an iOS app where you can cut out the background from a photo and drop yourself into some paradise scene. It was all done natively, and anytime we asked for tweaks, they just handled it. Once everything felt right, they pushed it live. Simple and smooth. "

We already had the servers and APIs sorted out, but Mercury jumped in on the design side and the business requirements, then built the actual iOS and Android apps. We worked with their analysts and PM to nail down how the thing should look, then their designers put together mockups. Our team chipped in writing out the cases we wanted to support, and they handled the dev and QA.The app itself lets people store and organize photos and videos, but in a way that feels more fun and personal than the usual boring cloud storage. You can build collections, share stuff even outside the app, and the video playback works great because they helped wire that in. Later on, they even helped spin up desktop versions for PC and Mac, which was a nice bonus. "

The whole thing had two parts - design first, then development. Mercury literally sketched out the redesign on paper in the beginning, which I kinda liked because it made everything super clear. We just wanted it to feel fresh, easy to use, and not clunky, and once we gave the thumbs up, they went straight into building.Now we’ve got a native app for iOS and Android so people can read our publication on their phones. It’s got the archive, full newsletter view, all the stuff we’ve got on the site. We’re almost done - like 90% there - still in beta on TestFlight, testing for bugs. Pretty close to the finish line. "

Mercury’s been building custom software for us that hooks up with medical devices used for intravascular treatments. It’s all in C++, pretty complex stuff. They’re not just coding either - they’ve been giving us real advice along the way, which has been huge. Lots of designers and devs on their side pitching in, and even their management team jumps in when needed. Honestly, that mix makes the whole thing run smoother for us. "

Mercury built out our telehealth platform. We went through some mockups first, then they jumped into coding. There were a couple glitches here and there, but honestly, users seem to really like it. The devs know their stuff and they’re quick to respond, which makes the whole back-and-forth a lot easier. And yeah, they kinda just keep pushing to get things right, which I appreciated. Point is - they deliver. "

Mercury put together this sweepstakes game app for us on iOS and Android. We did a whole discovery thing at the start to make sure it made sense, and they’re still keeping the app running. Honestly, it’s just way easier and looks better than the old-school way of doing entries. The numbers are climbing - users, revenue, all that - and we’re hanging on to customers too. Their project management? Pretty on top of things, no chasing needed. "

Mercury built us a Mac version of a desktop app we’d only had on Windows before. They did their homework on the market, pulled in some outside folks when needed, and just got it done. Having that Mac version really opened things up - more customers, more sales, simple as that. And because it worked, we ended up rolling out extra versions with more features and file types. Oh, and they actually wrapped it up on schedule, which, you know, doesn’t always happen. "

Mercury built us an iOS and Android app that basically locks down phone use while driving. They handled the interface, did all the testing, the whole thing. People actually like using it - the design and the features got good feedback. What stood out to me was how clear they were in communication, no guessing games, and they moved fast without cutting corners. Code was solid, delivery was quick, and honestly it saved us a ton of time. "

Mercury put together an inventory tracking app for us - started with an MVP, then kept adding on new versions. It handles reports, stores a bunch of data, all that heavy lifting. Honestly, it replaced this clunky old process we had that wasted way too much time, and now it just runs smooth with our system. Tracking assets is way easier. The team knew their stuff, stayed organized, and kept us in the loop with detailed updates. Super straightforward to work with. "
