Gigster

When a company needs custom software built, Gigster supplies the team. It assembles teams from a network of roughly 50,000 screened developers, designers and product experts, and it draws on a decade of building cloud-based teams for its clients. Projects can be run fully by the firm or handed to a dedicated team.

Three ways to engage

Gigster offers three engagement models. In a fully managed project, the firm takes complete ownership of the development process and aims to deliver across scope, time and budget, which it says it guarantees. Dedicated teams are engineers assigned to a client's product on an ongoing basis. Talent on demand adds specialists who blend into a client's existing team without a separate hiring process.

AI, blockchain and design work

Its technical work covers artificial intelligence and machine learning, including AI integration into enterprise applications. The firm also builds blockchain systems, including private and permissioned ledgers, and it does design work such as UX and product design, along with the modernization and optimization of older systems. An AI readiness quiz is offered to help an organization judge its readiness for AI adoption.

Clients and the record it reports

Enterprises and larger brands make up the client base, and more than 150 brands have used its services, by the company's count. It reports more than 1,000 engagements, which it treats as a source of success factors that inform its talent matching. Clients own the intellectual property in the software they commission, and the handover includes code documentation and transition support.

Case studies across industries

The case study list includes projects in healthcare records, small-business retirement plans and real estate, among others. One case describes a cloud platform for tax professionals that was built with Gigster's team, and another covers music streaming and podcast work. The company presents these as examples of the kinds of complex builds its network has delivered.
