Crocoders

Development capacity without a recruitment process is one of the things this software house offers. Crocoders builds web applications for clients who want results quickly, and it says its method rests on three things: a deep analysis of what a client needs, consulting to choose the right solution, and an agile approach that delivers early while keeping cost under control. It keeps a Polish telephone line for enquiries.

Who it builds for

The company groups its offer by audience:

• advertising agencies, interactive studios, media houses and platforms that serve ads;
• small and medium-sized businesses that want to improve operations or enter a new business area;
• companies that want to scale up their development power without extra hiring.

It also offers support at each implementation step to anyone with an idea that goes beyond the solutions currently available.

Technology and advice

The team lists many years of experience with JavaScript, CSS, Node.js, Angular and Loopback on the application side, PHP, Python and Perl on the back end, and MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Redis for data. Consulting is part of the work: for example, a client unsure whether to use MySQL or MongoDB can ask the team to help pick components and configure the server infrastructure.

One strand of work is rich-media advertising. The company describes preparing interactive creatives that behave correctly on different devices, browsers and websites while still catching the attention of internet users, which it calls a considerable challenge. It cites work for an online ticket seller and for a mobile telecommunications brand.

How a project runs

Crocoders names an account manager for each project, from the beginning to completion. That person studies the requirements with the client's staff and suggests the best options. The client decides which functions come first and controls delivery time and budget, and can change requirements at any stage because the product is delivered step by step in iterations.

Testing is done regularly, both by hand and by automated tests, before the product moves to a production environment. The team then delivers detailed documentation, trains the client's staff and reviews the project with the client, covering problems met and how to avoid them next time.
