Akanza Sp. z o.o.

Akanza is a software house based in Lublin, Poland, founded around 2018 (the site claims "6 years on the market"). The company builds web applications, mobile apps for iOS and Android, and custom IT solutions. They've completed over 500 projects for clients across Poland and internationally, ranging from fintech platforms to e-commerce sites to civic tech.

The team works with clients to define goals upfront and guide them through development. Clients mention responsiveness: one founder noted Akanza's "professionalism, courtesy, punctuality and effectiveness across the board," while another praised their flexibility and focus on solving problems rather than just completing tasks.

Services and capabilities

Akanza offers three main service lines: web development, mobile app development (iOS and Android), and custom IT solutions under their "Know-How" banner.

For web work, they design and build websites described as "effective and visually appealing." Portfolio examples include PGE eBOK (an e-customer portal for Poland's largest energy company that replaced five legacy systems), Sportbonus (a civic engagement platform where they built over 100 frontend views), and iJunior (an education management platform). They handle full-stack work: architecture, information architecture, mockups, graphic design, and implementation.

On mobile, they build iOS and Android apps using React Native. Recent projects include Football Challenge App (a matching service for pickup soccer games with Facebook/Google Auth and Firebase push notifications), Head2Toe (a fashion app), Promodetektor (real-time promotion alerts), and blockchain-based loyalty programs like tokeo. They also build integrations with external APIs and services.

Under their custom IT banner, they tackle domain-specific tools: KryptoBot (automated crypto trading), mBiuro (accounting firm communication), SecureGo (access authorization), beaconapps.io (IoT management for iBeacon systems), and Intermed (doctor-patient communication).

Notable work

PGE eBOK is their flagship case study. Akanza worked alongside Infovide-Matrix (an experienced IT integrator) to architect, design, and implement an electronic customer service office for PGE, Poland's largest energy company. The system replaced five older platforms in use since 2005. A standout feature was PGE eFaktura, which lets customers go paperless. PGE Obrót won PayU Lab Award in "eCustomer Experience – Energy" for the work.

Football Challenge App simplified how soccer enthusiasts book matches—previously a tedious phone-and-email process. Akanza built the React Native app for iOS and Android, plus the backend API, handling OAuth via Facebook and Google, and Firebase notifications for personalized alerts.

Sportbonus, one of the largest civic initiatives in Polish sports history, required Akanza to code the fan panel and website—over 100 views—with fast rendering and full mobile responsiveness.

Other named clients include iJunior (education platform used by preschools), E-kwiaty (flower delivery), Potest (teacher and school management), Gama (retail loyalty), and a state museum (Muzeum na Majdanku) site that won awards.

How they work

Akanza operates from Lublin with a team they describe as "specialists from Lublin." They take on both fixed project work and appear to offer time-and-materials engagement (based on portfolio language). Communication seems to emphasize clarity: one client praised "quality of communication so I'm confident about what's happening in my project."

They work in Polish and English. The site offers a free project estimation tool.

Team and credentials

No founding team names are listed. Team size is not disclosed, though the phrase "great specialists" and 500+ completed projects suggests a mid-sized outfit, likely 51–200 people. No certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2, etc.) are mentioned. No G2 or Clutch ratings appear in the source.

Beyond development, Akanza runs an amateur table tennis academy (Akademia Tenisa Stołowego Akanza Lublin) and sponsors a professional second-league team, a nod to their Lublin roots. They also run a blog covering technical topics (chatbots, robotics, etc.) and conduct paid workshops.
