About Tart Labs
Tart Labs provides custom software development services for startups and scaling companies, offering flexible offshore support to bring their ideas to life. We work with entrepreneurs, tech innovators, and enterprises looking to build scalable digital platforms using modern tech, AI/ML, IoT, Cloud, and DevOps. Our clients range from early-stage founders needing MVPs to established companies seeking to enhance their digital products. If it’s edtech, fintech, healthcare, or SaaS, we tailor our expertise to fit diverse industries.
Working Together
Getting started is simple – just reach out to us through our website contact form, email, or schedule a quick intro call. We’ll discuss your project goals, technical needs, and timeline. From there, we’ll propose a tailored approach if you’re building from scratch, improving an existing product, or assembling a dedicated team. Our process is flexible to match your pace.
Values and Ownership
Absolutely. Unless we agree otherwise in writing (for specific third-party components), everything we build for you is yours from day one. We structure our contracts to ensure you retain complete ownership of all custom code, designs, and intellectual property. Think of us like architects – we design and build it, but you own the final product. We’ll even provide documentation to make ownership transfers smooth for legal or investor purposes.
Team & Talent
Our team consists of senior-level developers with 5+ years of industry experience, specializing in everything from rapid MVP development to complex enterprise solutions. We carefully vet each team member for both technical chops and problem-solving skills – you won't find any junior developers learning on your project here. Our engineers regularly upskill through internal tech workshops and have hands-on experience with modern frameworks across web, mobile, and cloud platforms.
Services & Capabilities
We offer a wide range of services, including full-stack web development, mobile app development, legacy software modernization, AI/ML Solutions, SaaS platforms, Cloud, DevOps, Data Engineering, UI/UX design, MVPs, and Third-party API integrations. If you're building something from the ground up or need help with a specific piece of the puzzle, we can jump in and get to work.
Cooperation Models
Yes, we allow you to hire dedicated developers and engineers based on your needs that who focus on your projects. If you need one or two junior-to-senior developers or a full cross-functional team, including designers, testers, and project managers, we can assemble a team that works closely with you, follows your schedule, and adapts to your workflows. You’ll get the consistency of an in-house team without the overhead of hiring yourself. We handle all HR, equipment, and management while you maintain full control over priorities and workflows.
Industries & Domain Expertise
We work diverse industries, including Edtech, healthcare, finance, education, logistics, retail, real estate, eCommerce, and more. Whether it’s building internal platforms, consumer-facing apps, or backend systems, our team adapts to the specific goals and challenges of each sector. Over the years, we’ve helped both startups and enterprises build software that solves real-world problems in their industry.
Technology Stack
We specialize in modern, scalable technologies across the stack—frontend (React, Vue, Angular), backend (Node.js, Python/Django, Ruby on Rails), and mobile (React Native, Flutter, Swift/Kotlin for native apps). For advanced projects, we usually go with cloud services like AWS or Azure and use tools such as Docker and Kubernetes to manage and scale the infrastructure. Our strongest suit is choosing the right tech for each project—not just what’s trendy, but what delivers long-term performance and maintainability.
Estimation & Budget
We start by breaking down your requirements into core features and technical components during a free discovery session. Then, we estimate effort (in developer hours) for each element, factoring in design, development, testing, and deployment. Our timelines include buffer periods for revisions and unexpected complexities—because no project ever goes 100% according to plan. You'll get a transparent breakdown showing exactly where time and costs are allocated, with options to prioritize features if adjustments are needed.
Project Kickoff & Workflow
We use Agile (Scrum/Kanban) for most projects, ensuring iterative progress with regular check-ins, demos, and feedback loops. You’ll get to see the progress in action and make changes along the way, if needed. For fixed-scope projects, we blend Agile with structured phases (design -> develop -> test -> deploy) to maintain predictability. Transparency is key—you’ll have access to project management tools (Zoho/Jira/Trello) to track real-time progress, backlog, and sprint goals.
Project Management
Not at all. You don’t need to manage developers directly. A dedicated Project Manager or Delivery Manager will act as your main point of contact and handle the day-to-day coordination with the dev team. Focus on shaping your business idea, we’ll take care of your tech side.
Testing, QA, and Security
We treat QA and testing process are part of how we build, not something we leave for later. This starts early and runs alongside development to catch issues before they grow. Our team performs regular testing that means checking how the app works, how fast it runs, how easy it is to use, and how well it behaves across devices. We do manual and automated testing in each sprint to catch bugs early and make sure everything works as expected before release.
Support & Maintenance
Yes, we provide 3 months of free post-launch support to make sure your platform runs smoothly and any initial bugs or small adjustments are handled without extra cost. After this period, if you’d like ongoing support or updates, we can enter into an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) based on your needs.
Portfolio / Social Proof
Absolutely! We have detailed case studies and testimonials from previous clients. These highlight how we approached the project, the challenges solved, and the results delivered. We’d be happy to share them with you to give a real sense of our work style and outcomes.
