FREYSOFT

Supplying software engineering teams to businesses that want to build or extend products, FREYSOFT operates from Europe as an outstaffing firm for IT. The company now presents the firm as a fintech and payments engineering partner, which describes its work as building and maintaining integrations, migrations and data platforms for regulated financial technology companies on fixed scope projects.

Engineering teams for fintech and regulated businesses

According to the current site, FREYSOFT builds and owns integrations, data migrations and data platforms for companies in regulated financial services. It describes the work as production grade from the first day, with a deadline agreed up front and a fixed scope, so that a client knows what will be delivered and when.

Projects from an idea to a working product

The company says it covers every stage of a product's life, from an idea and a prototype, through an MVP, to a working product in use. It also adds new features to existing systems and speeds up development that is already under way. For larger organizations it lists work on network and data centre functions, integration with third party systems and cybersecurity.

How an engagement starts

Before a project begins, the firm signs a non-disclosure agreement, so that no details of the client's product or business process are shared until it is in place. Its analysts then identify the project requirements and the business needs in detail, and the team chooses a solution that fits the client and its people. Clients can review developers' CVs before they choose an engagement model.

A two week trial period

FREYSOFT offers a trial period of two weeks, which includes an estimate of four to sixteen hours of work, code review and testing. The firm says the trial shows how the team communicates and delivers before a longer commitment is made. It also says it takes responsibility for continuous delivery and for keeping quality and predictability at the level the client needs.

Working methods and tools

Engineers keep to EU working hours and communicate in English, both orally and in writing. It is available in business hours through Slack, Google Hangouts and Zoom, and it follows Waterfall, Agile or Kanban methods as the client prefers. Prototypes are made in Figma, InVision or Zeplin, tasks are tracked in Asana, Trello or Jira, and code is kept on GitHub, Bitbucket, Perforce or SVN.

Compliance and documentation

The firm says it supplies a full set of project documents, including requirements specifications, the non-disclosure agreement and a statement of work. It states that its products are built to GDPR standards and that a strict quality assurance process is applied. It describes its size as medium, which it says lets it put the customer first, and it says it has established hiring and onboarding processes for new engineers.
