Throughout our long-standing collaboration, the team has consistently delivered high-quality service. Over time, we’ve developed a strong and genuinely friendly working relationship, which has positively influenced the outcomes of our joint efforts.
Founder of TreeNinjaAI
What would traditionally take an 18-month team effort was completed in roughly 6 months, with SCAND contributing for about 3.5 of those months. This project would not have been possible a year earlier. I’m not an engineer by background, but with current AI capabilities and strong support from SCAND, we were able to build features and integrations that, to my knowledge, have never existed before together in a single standalone application.
