FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with us

When will I see working software?

You'll see your software running in the cloud within the first 2 weeks. We provide weekly releases to staging environments throughout the project, so you can review real progress - not just status reports. This is a key differentiator from traditional agencies that wait until the end to show you anything.

Can we pause or change direction mid-project?

Absolutely! That's the beauty of our weekly billing model. Need to pause? Give us a week's notice. Want to pivot direction? We discuss the impact and adjust immediately. Need to scale down or up? We're flexible. Unlike agencies with monthly retainers or fixed contracts, you have complete control.

What experience do you have with integrations?

15+ years building all kinds of integrations: CRM systems (Salesforce, Dynamics), ERP systems (SAP, Oracle), payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal), shipping APIs, marketing tools, and custom third-party APIs. We can guide you on the best integration approach - whether API, webhooks, message queues, or ETL - for robust, maintainable results.

How do you ensure fast but robust delivery?

Our 15+ years experience means we've seen what works (and what doesn't). We guide you away from over-engineering and towards proven patterns. We use automation (CI/CD), code reviews, automated testing, and weekly demos to catch issues early. Fast doesn't mean cutting corners - it means smart architecture and experienced execution.

What if I need to scale the team up or down?

We're completely flexible. Need an extra developer? We can onboard them within days. Need to scale down? Just give us a week's notice. Our weekly billing model means you're never locked into long-term commitments that don't suit your needs.

How do I know the developers are working?

Full transparency through daily standups, weekly demos, and time tracking. You'll have access to our project management tools (Jira/Azure DevOps), can see commits in real-time, and review working software every week. Plus, our developers are available during your business hours for questions.

What happens if a developer leaves mid-project?

We handle all resource continuity. If a developer needs to be replaced, we'll bring in a replacement from our talent pool with full knowledge transfer - at no extra cost to you. You're hiring Assemblysoft, not individuals, so project continuity is guaranteed.

Can I interview the developers before starting?

Absolutely! We encourage you to meet the proposed team. We'll arrange technical interviews or informal chats so you can assess fit. We want you to be completely confident in your team before a single line of code is written.

What technologies do your developers specialize in?

We're Microsoft technology specialists: .NET (C#), Blazor (WebAssembly, Server, Hybrid), Azure cloud platform, SQL Server, Azure DevOps, and modern JavaScript frameworks. We're a Microsoft Partner with deep expertise in their entire stack, including AI/ML integration.

What's included in the daily rate?

Everything professional: code development, code reviews, documentation, daily standups, weekly demos, Git version control, DevOps setup, testing, and Slack/Teams communication. No hidden costs - the daily rate is genuinely all-inclusive.
