Who We’ve Shipped With

In a world where “get shit done” is tossed around as a mantra, we offer something better:

Get ship done. Because shipping is about getting real results, faster, smarter, and together.

At Velvet Onion, we help you clear your backlog, take strategic directions forward, and ship faster than you thought possible. Yes, we’re a partner, and we’re also an extension of your team. Whether you need us to dial up or down, we’re here when you need us, how you need us.

Our mantra is more than a clever play on words - it’s a commitment 

We ship in tandem with your team, delivering smarter solutions, faster timelines, and lower costs. Because at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is shipping something remarkable. And that’s what we do best.

Here’s a look at some of the teams we’ve partnered with to turn ideas into shipped products. From global enterprises to bold startups, these are the innovators we’ve worked with, and built end to end solutions for:

We’ve been trusted partners for years, helping IAG build and ship products—delivering in half the time and cost of internal efforts.

CGU
Insurance

Build a system that simplified complex workers' comp processes into a self-service platform for injured workers.

Redesigned, rebranded, and rebuilt their platform—helping drive an incredible 3,800% revenue increase.

These clients are proof of what happens when we collaborate and partner with teams who are ready to move from ideas to action.

Testimonials

“Our case management system was drowning in paperwork and manual processes. Within three months, Velvet Onion transformed our backlog into a self-service platform that our customers love using. It was a seamless, fast and thorough process and we ended up with something far more superior than we'd initially set out to achieve. Great team and great work.”

Leon Kelly
CGU

Testimonials

“Building an energy trading platform is complex, and the kind of project that typically gets bogged down in planning. Velvet Onion kept us focused on progress and results. While our team was focusing on partnerships, VO had us testing with real customers. Within six months, we had a working platform that's now transforming energy trading.”

Jamie Vachon
AMP - Evergen

Testimonials

“As we scaled, our simple OneShift job publishing and application system was slow, old and needed a complete overhaul. Velvet Onion delivered an entire rebrand, redesign and rebuild. After launching the new platform, we saw our revenue surge by 3,800%. That transformed our business.”
