Amadou Daffe
CEO of Gebeya
It was a pleasure working with the team at Retinue Systems. They built exactly what we needed. They delivered a custom admin portal and mobile apps for both Android and iOS. From the start, they took the time to understand our needs, then guided us through design and development. Their team handled everything including UI and UX design, cloud setup and configuration, and both the frontend and backend build. They architected the entire platform with future scale in mind and supported us across Azure, Docker containers, and more.
