Smartym Pro

From Eastern Europe, Smartym Pro builds custom software and takes a product from the first idea through to release, support and later growth. It works with nearshore and offshore models, so clients can use its engineers from a nearby time zone while keeping control of their projects. Its work covers mobile apps, user interface design, web applications and dedicated development teams.

Native and hybrid mobile apps

Smartym Pro builds native and hybrid applications for iOS and Android, and it also does cross-platform builds where one codebase serves more than one platform. Its interfaces follow each platform's own design guidelines, so an Android app uses material design and an iOS app uses the flat style that suits that platform. The company uses InVision prototypes so that a client can look at an app on a phone before the build starts.

Interface design based on user behavior

The design work studies user preferences and behavior before drawing screens. The firm combines that research with its own experience and with current web design practice, so that usability and the experience of the product are planned together rather than added at the end.

Web applications for operations and sales

On the Java and web side, Smartym Pro builds responsive websites and full web applications. Its products include CRM systems, HRM tools and project management solutions. The company says its clients usually want to automate or improve business processes, to strengthen sales, or to build customer and brand loyalty, and its products are built around those operational goals.

Dedicated agile teams and a clear delivery process

Smartym Pro offers dedicated development teams that a client can steer, with one or more named contacts who can take part in planning and scheduling. The firm uses Agile and Waterfall methods depending on the project. A typical project moves through requirements analysis, marketing research, design, development, quality assurance, stabilization, release, support and growth work. The team includes developers, interface designers, project managers, test automation engineers and business analysts.

Projects across several industries

Example projects show the range of the company's work. They include a mobile app that automates a company reporting system, a social network for placing ads, mutual help and charity, a CRM and ERP system for managing remote staff, and a truck search and freight app for the transport sector. Other examples are an HR tool for eLearning and staff assessment, a virtual discount card and loyalty program, a car insurance and repair CRM, a language learning and matching platform, and a tournament app for tennis players.
