Elders Ltd.

Mapping a strategy comes first at Elders Ltd, a small software development studio in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Architects and quality analysts sit alongside designers and developers in the studio, and its work reaches clients in many countries. The studio says it likes to learn about a client's business before creating anything, aiming for software that clients are proud of for years.

Strategy before building

The company describes its work as getting skilled people to implement a client's ideas and maximise the value of the investment. Work can be bought as a single piece or folded into a larger project, and each piece is focused on a critical business need. Planning comes before development, so the solution is shaped by what the business actually does.

Native, hybrid and cross-platform apps

Elders builds custom software and mobile applications, working in native, hybrid and cross-platform technologies. Its team also writes web applications, and it works on how a client's existing product feels to use, refining the experience rather than only adding features.

Quality from planning to follow-up

Quality is presented as the studio's primary focus. Checks happen at each step, from the first plan to handover and aftercare, and the studio says it wants software that stands the test of time. The team works closely, collaborates face to face and makes sure there is time to focus on each task.

Visualising complex technical subjects

The company says its main strength is visualising complex and technical topics, turning them into software that clients can use. It keeps learning from books, podcasts, websites and the problems it meets on each project, and it describes its clients as a varied international group whose needs shape its work.
