Intive, known as BLStream at the time, collaborated with a Silicon Valley-based smart hub developer to create a smart nightlight with Wi-Fi connectivity. The startup company was under pressure to find skilled engineers quickly and turned to Intive for assistance. Intive provided a team to work on the Android and iOS mobile apps for the product, adding numerous features and fixing bugs before the product's launch in October 2015. The team from Intive consisted of Android and iOS developers, auto testing engineers, a quality assurance tester, and a project manager. The partnership was deemed successful, with Intive's price being attractive compared to hiring the same number of engineers in Silicon Valley.

In another project, Intive, then known as FDV Solutions, partnered with a marketing software platform in the CRM field. The firm needed additional resources to develop code for their website and product stack. Intive provided a team of 7-10 people to work with the firm's existing full-time engineering team. They developed mobile applications for Android and iOS, ensured the synchronization of the desktop login with the mobile app, and provided data analysis expertise to assist in building new tools. The team from Intive also helped the firm build a dedicated team in Argentina by sourcing talent. The partnership lasted for five years and was considered successful.

Intive, operating as FDV Solutions, collaborated with an independent consultant working with various entrepreneurs to implement an iOS app for their client's company. The consultant managed the communication of requirements with Intive and worked directly with their developers for the product's implementation. Intive also worked on some Ruby on Rails elements for API integration, including geospatial queries and customer-facing web development. The total development cost was around $40,000, and the project lasted for about four months. The partnership was successful, with Intive being chosen for their competitive pricing, flexibility, and good understanding of the business requirements.
