Software outsourcing services from EltexSoft. Full project ownership, working software every two weeks. 35-50 senior engineers. $50-99/hr.
EltexSoft provides software outsourcing services. We own delivery end-to-end. You review working software every two weeks.
This is not the outsourcing you’ve been burned by before. Same team, month after month. No rotation. No black box. We manage sprints, assign tasks, review code, and deploy. You manage the product, set priorities, and provide feedback.
How outsourcing works with us
Bi-weekly delivery. Working software demonstrated every two weeks. Not slides. Not status reports. Running code.
Full ownership. We manage the development process. Sprint planning, task breakdown, code reviews, testing, and deployment.
Transparent process. You have access to our project board, Git repository, and CI/CD pipeline. Nothing hidden.
When outsourcing makes sense
You have a product vision but no engineering team. You need to ship a product and want one partner to handle the technical side. You’ve been burned by outsourcing before and want to try a studio that keeps the same team on your project.
Ripe was a full outsourcing engagement. We built the entire product. Hungry acquired it.
