I want to hire retail software developers. How fast can we get started?

The common time for the development team to start is 2 weeks after clarification of all the details and organizational points.

Our business has an e-commerce platform and we need a CRM. At this moment there is no budget for custom solution development from scratch. What can you advise?

Our team offers consulting and audit services. In other words, our experts can advise ready-made solutions from the market (for instance, Odoo, SAP, Zoho, etc.) and offer their basic customization after the processes & needs analysis. This can be more cost-effective when the customer has a limited budget. Although, from the long-term perspective, custom development is more focused on a specific business.

Can we sign an NDA before project communication?
