What the client said
“Boppo sits at the intersection of hardware, software and play, so there were a lot of details that had to work together. MetaBuf helped us turn the companion app into a practical part of the overall product rather than treating it like a separate piece of software. They were easy to work with and willing to dig into the technical details when needed.”
