eSoft Response

Based in London, eSoft Response builds software with a strong offshore development team and nearshore centres. It specialises in designing, building and delivering software systems, including websites, custom applications and mobile apps, for start-ups and established businesses that want to automate their processes. The company describes itself as a one-stop source for software development, and it says a client can build its project faster and at lower cost without finding, hiring and training the developers and other roles itself.

Remote development teams that work in your time zone

The firm's most distinctive offer is a dedicated remote team. It recruits, manages and equips developers with the infrastructure they need, and those developers work under the client's direction in the same way as an in-house team. The company says its talent works in the client's time zone, so that deliverables arrive on time and communication stays simple. It also says that a team can be scaled up or down as a project requires, which lets a client ramp up quickly when demand rises and cut back when it falls.

Adding one engineer to a team you already have

Where a company already has a development team but needs one more skilled engineer, the firm can supply that person and plug the gap. The company says this suits businesses that want highly specialised professionals to augment their in-house staff without the cost and delay of recruitment. The firm presents it as a way of keeping control of the project while drawing on outside expertise.

Custom software, websites and mobile apps

For projects that need a finished product, the firm scopes, resources, manages and delivers the build from start to finish. Its custom software covers business systems designed around a client's operations, and its website work produces responsive sites built to order. The company builds mobile apps for iOS and Android, and says it aims to take an idea to market at a competitive rate with an end-to-end solution. It says it will be responsible for delivering the project on time and to specification.

Cost, skill and delivery model

The company describes its delivery model as a combination of UK-based and nearshore development centres, with a team of more than one hundred full-stack developers. It argues that hiring an offshore team can significantly reduce operational costs, and says it manages the best available talent together with the resources and infrastructure a team needs. The firm's stated principles are truthfulness, transparency and a collaborative approach to every project.

Client work and digital transformation

The firm presents itself as a digital transformation partner, working with clients from first planning through to delivery and beyond. It describes its role as helping organisations replace legacy processes with digital technologies, and it has worked on projects for a luxury real estate business and a care provider. Its site gives the company's aim as helping businesses grow through clear, well-run technology work rather than through a fixed package of services.
