What we can help you with
Software agencies can promise anything but the truth is, what really makes you look for a software partner are the problems haunting your business. And what makes you choose the right vendor is the ability to solve them. Our full-stack teams can do just that.
Compatibility Issues
You face compatibility issues across different operating systems and hardware.
Offline Instability
Poor offline functionality and low performance negatively affect your app rating.
Low Automation
Slow, manual software updates and maintenance issues harm your app UX and security.
Scaling Gap
You need to expand your MVP into a full-scale app but lack a project team to deliver the end-to-end product.
Data Bottleneck
Your data infrastructure can't keep up with the volume of information you need to process.
Legacy System
Your desktop app feels outdated and clunky, hurting user satisfaction and adoption.
What our Clients say about us
We weren’t just looking for developersto build and ship code. We were looking for flexibility and engineers that would be able to think through the problems and really come up with the best solution.
In the past, I’ve worked with a lot of different outsourcing vendors, and what’s great about Brainhub is the culture that these guys bring. I think anyone could really benefit from that.
When we contacted Brainhub, we basically wanted to have the best people on board within the shortest time. So Brainhub was the best partner for us. We don't treat Brainhub's people as contractors but as other team members.
They’ve had a significant impact on how we build our applications by suggesting proactive changes, which we consider valuable.
I haven't found more skilled resources than Brainhub's team. Every Brainhub teammate I've worked with has greatly contributed to our project. I've never worked with a teammate from Brainhub that doesn't meet our performance requirements.
Brainhub is a boutique firm and skilled organization. The team has a rigorous hiring process, and they're very selective.
