Garwan

Custom software, mobile apps and websites

Custom software, mobile apps and websites built to a client's requirements. Garwan has been operating since 2008, and a large part of its activity takes place in Austria. The company reports more than 40 programmers, and it says it works with fewer clients in deeper partnerships, which it calls boutique nearshoring, with the focus on outcomes rather than on cost.

A team across many technologies

The programmers work across back-end languages such as Java and Scala, PHP, database systems including MySQL, Oracle and MongoDB, and front-end work in JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3. Its data specialists include data strategists, data architects, analysts and engineers, who offer customized data analysis and management. Quality assurance is part of every project, with what the company calls detailed test cases that define quality for each software project.

Full projects or specialists inside the client's team

Garwan can take full responsibility for a project, or it can support a client with its experts in specific areas. The company says this is a boutique model: the client gets the expertise it needs, shaped to the job, rather than a large pool of capacity. The firm adds AI-assisted engineering to its team's work, pairing human creativity with modern tools and close nearshore collaboration.

From a business problem to a finished application

Each project starts with the problem to be solved, the use case and the business case. A first proposal and quotation follow, with the desired results, the scope and functionality, and a technical and graphic design. The company weighs the programming languages and frameworks for each application and then builds, tests and asks for regular feedback so that changes are caught early.

Launch, monitoring and improvement

Once the system is complete, it goes live. Garwan then monitors each application in the real environment for several weeks, tuning it and repairing errors, because real load is greater and more varied than testing shows. As the client grows, the company offers alternative technologies that can enhance the system already in use.

IT support after launch

Support continues after the software is in use. Depending on the agreement, the company's IT support becomes the first point of contact for the client's business during operation, so problems can be resolved quickly by people who know the application.
