Questions
Working with us.
What is the difference between a dedicated team and staff augmentation?
A dedicated team owns delivery: we plan, design, build, test and support the product with you. Staff augmentation adds our senior engineers to your existing team, working in your process and tools. Many clients start with one and move to the other.
Can you take over a project another firm started?
Yes. Taking over troubled Mendix projects is how Five Stones started. We begin with a code and architecture review, stabilize what's there, then keep delivering. See Mendix project rescue for how that works.
Do you only build on Mendix?
No. Mendix is our specialty, but we also build custom web and mobile software, data pipelines and integrations where low code isn't the right fit.
Who will actually work on our project?
Senior engineers, assigned by name for the life of the engagement. The people you meet at the start are the people who build and support your software.
How do we get started?
Send a note through the contact page or call (209) 595-7845. An engineer will talk through where the project stands and come back with a recommended team, approach and timeline.

Have a project that's stuck, or one that hasn't started?
Tell us where it stands. You'll talk to an engineer, not a sales team, and you'll get a straight answer about what it takes.
