At Assurdly, we may not share an office coffee machine, but we share a thriving remote culture (which includes, of course, the occasional meme war). Remote work is the foundation of everything we’ve built.
For over five years, Assurdly has provided more than just assurances; we have created a remote-first company where employees stay motivated, clients remain satisfied, and innovation never slows down. As Unyime, our outstanding remote-first advocate, put it during the company’s fifth anniversary celebration in 2024:
“After five years, I am meeting about 70% of our clients for the first time, and that’s because we are very much online.”
With over 70 successful product launches, 100+ projects delivered, and a stellar client satisfaction rating of 9.5/10, we have proven that office walls aren’t necessary to build something incredible, you just need the right team, tools, and a company that has mastered remote collaboration and is wholly committed to excellence.
The Assurdly Remote Playbook - How We Work, Collaborate, and Deliver Excellence
Our mission is simple: partnering with companies to turn ideas into high-quality, fully functional software solutions. By being fully remote, we dive deep into the talent pool to hire top experts globally without geographical limitations. This allows us to facilitate our vision of continuous improvement and innovation. What started as a quality assurance powerhouse has since evolved into a full-service product delivery partner. Assurdly remains committed to excellence, efficiency, and customer intimacy, ensuring that every project meets the highest delivery standards - on time and with top quality - while aligning with clients' business goals.
Great people are the bread of a remote company, and the right tools are the strawberry jam that ensures the taste of success. To keep projects on track, maintain clear communication, and foster seamless collaboration across teams, we have built a digital workspace powered by carefully selected tools that ensure efficiency and accountability.
As Esther puts it:
Working at Assurdly has been an inspiring and enriching experience. The supportive team and collaborative culture make every challenge an opportunity for growth. I appreciate being part of a team that values innovation, hard work, and positive impact.
For project management, ClickUp serves as a central hub, helping teams organise tasks, track progress, and stay accountable. Google Shared Drive is our go-to for document management, housing all essential files in one place, while NotebookLM acts as a virtual research assistant, quickly summarising and organising information, making it easy for teams to stay informed and focused.
Our Intranet functions as a comprehensive internal knowledge base, giving employees immediate access to policies, updates, and key resources, and Scribe simplifies workflow documentation and training to make onboarding and daily operations smoother.
Effective communication is the backbone of our remote work culture, so Slack and Google Chat make it easy for teams to stay connected through real-time messaging and discussions. When “face-to-face” collaboration is needed, Google Meet powers virtual meetings for team syncs, project discussions, and client calls. Collaboration goes beyond the conversations; it is also about working together effortlessly. Jamdev is our “show me” tool, used to capture web app bugs or just share interesting content with the team.
Managing multiple client projects, each with different tool preferences from Google Workspace to Microsoft and Zoho used to be a challenge. With so many moving parts, things could get chaotic fast. That’s exactly why we adopted Wholistic to bring everything into one place. Wholistic gives us a centralised view of all projects, keeping documents, reports, and communications accessible for both teams and clients. It’s become the glue that holds our remote workflows together and keeps us moving efficiently.
Of course, all work and no play would assuredly make Assurdly a dull house, which is simply not an option for us. We have our go-to space for non-work banter, memes, and off-topic fun. Here, team members can unwind, share laughs, and participate in the monthly virtual TGIF games, creating a vibrant, fun atmosphere that keeps the team spirit alive.
By combining the right technology with our strong remote culture, Assurdly ensures that teams stay connected, projects run smoothly, and clients receive top-tier service, no matter where we work from in the world.
Oiling The Wheels - Keeping Them Turning
Remote work isn’t without its challenges. Meeting deadlines can be tough when power or internet issues arise, and team members are responsible for ensuring they stay connected. Instead of leaving employees to struggle, Assurdly provides practical support to help them overcome these hurdles.
Through a partnership with Lendsqr, one of our fantastic clients, we enabled employees to access advanced loans at zero interest. This means team members can easily invest in backup power, internet, or whatever they need to stay connected and do their best work without worrying about financial strain. This employee-centric approach isn’t a misfire; it directly boosts productivity and team morale.

Ayomide puts it best:
Working at Assurdly has instilled in me a strong drive to get things done the right way. It has deepened my understanding of quality and the true impact of collaboration within a team. Every decision I make and every step I take, I’ve learned to think on my feet and adapt quickly.
Azeez quite agrees:
Working at Assurdly has been an incredible journey of growth, learning, and development. I have had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with industry-standard technologies and best practices, which has significantly enhanced my skills. The exposure and continuous learning culture have made it a truly rewarding experience.
This dedication to keeping the wheels turning directly impacts project execution and client satisfaction. Michael from Oris shares his experience:
Assurdly brings to life the product element of a startup from concept, product delivery, and testing to go live. The team is highly experienced and hands-on, with great delegation, task management, and team coordination.
This commitment to excellence is why companies trust Assurdly. Ayodele from Fidelity confirms:
Assurdly’s service was great; their professionalism was massive. They are the only company I know that could pull that off—and they did it perfectly!
Biodun from FCMB adds:
Glad to have onboarded the Assurdly team when we did. Not sure how we would have managed the project without them working with us.
