Quintic's Customers: Development in Partnership

Since its beginnings in 1995, Quintic has worked with many prominent software development, engineering and manufacturing organisations. Our solutions are deployed at blue chip companies throughout the world. Today our customers - the people we always see and treat as respected partners - come in all sizes and from many industry sectors across the UK, Europe and the United States. What they have in common is the need for technical excellence, and a relationship based on trust, honesty, and a good sense of humour!

Here’s what some of our customers and partners have to say:

Lloyd's Register (Marine Division)

Lloyd's Register, the independent risk management organisation, was founded in London in 1760, and now has around 200 offices worldwide, and 5,000 employees. As one of the organisation's premier development partners, Quintic has been working on a variety of large development projects relating to ship design verification, classification and visualisation.

"Lloyd's Register supplies calculation software to support its Marine Classification activities. These products are being continually improved, and to this end we call on expert development teams to ensure timely project delivery to high quality standards. We particularly chose Quintic in this case for their well proven abilities and knowledge of CAD interfaces. But this is only one of the strengths that make Quintic an ideal development partner. We gain a lot from the depth of expertise of Quintic’s developers. Of note is the clear dedication to customer service and to meeting time scales. Quintic's attitude is flexible and approachable; the team is always prepared for meetings and reviews at short notice, and places high value on openness and clear communication."

Flowmaster Limited

Flowmaster is a worldwide leader in the field of fluid flow analysis software. Headquartered in the UK, Flowmaster has regional offices across the globe, including Europe, North America, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia. As one of Flowmaster’s premier UK consultancy providers, Quintic has been acting as an independent third party advisor on GUI usability and design, contributing services ranging from user interface style guides to icon and symbol design. For more detail, please visit our Projects pages.

"We initially approached Quintic because we needed a neutral third party with expertise in both engineering software and GUI design. We were looking for an unbiased view of the UI style and user model appropriate for the next release of our Flowmaster software. Outsourcing this type of work to a new provider can be quite daunting, even when you know that an outside view is essential. Our experience with Quintic has been extremely positive. As a matter of fact, our Project Manager's initial reaction after receiving the first deliverables from Quintic was: ’Why didn’t we do this sooner?’ We work with a distributed development team, and the GUI Style Guide Quintic created for us was received exceptionally well by the entire development team (quite a feat!) and implemented immediately. Next came the design and development of icons and symbols for the latest software release. The email one of my colleagues sent to the Quintic and Flowmaster teams involved said it all: 'I’m just looking at the new icons in the latest beta - apart from looking fantastic they make sense of the whole cataloguing system. Amazing, it really is a UI transformation!' "

(Leigh Gillard, Flowmaster Limited www.flowmaster.com)

The work was completed in an excellent way, enabling us to take over the project development at the end of the contract and providing
