Our custom software development services

We can assemble a team of any size quickly and in accordance with all the technical requirements of the project. We offer the following expertise:

Business analysis

Our business analyst can transform your project ideas and business requirements into detailed project specifications and roadmaps. Analysts gather information, study similar products in the market, analyze risks, define necessary compliance regulations, and structure and prioritize the requirements for future software products.

Project management

Our project management team takes full responsibility for project workflow, including planning, monitoring, management and collaboration. PMs set project goals, milestones, and deadlines; plan and schedule project activities; monitor overall progress and the team’s workload and performance; assign and update tasks; control budget spending; build communication; and provide you with real-time reports on the project’s progress.

Architecture

Our software architecture experts are able to define your technology stack, prioritize feature sets, and create technical documentation and an actionable software roadmap. All of this helps in building modular, scalable software solutions that can be easily tested and maintained. Available architectures include microservices, domain-driven, service-oriented, lambda, event-driven, client-server, object-oriented and component-based.

UI/UX design

Our design team creates responsive and performance-driven design for both complex B2B solutions and consumer apps that users enjoy. We take into account modern design trends, your brand style, competitor analysis and user research. Whether you need an app designed from scratch or an upgrade for an existing user interface, the project objectives are always met. In practice this means wireframing and prototyping, UI/UX design for web and mobile, data visualization, a UX audit and consulting.

Software development

Our team of software developers creates custom, robust, scalable, and user-friendly software solutions that seamlessly operate on various platforms and devices. Building apps from scratch, adding new features to your existing system, and modernization of your legacy software – all this can be done according to your business needs.

Using the most advanced technologies, tools and frameworks, we always achieve great results.

Our DevOps team is responsible for implementation, management, continuous monitoring and improvement of development and operational processes, including CI/CD, containerization and orchestration, test automation, cloud infrastructure management, continuous security, application, web server and deployment logging, performance management, backup and recovery. We always take care to choose, install and configure the right tools for an efficient DevOps environment.

QA & Testing

Our testing services allow us to identify issues and implement improvements on the go, as well as ensure quality and prevent potential security threats.
