CleverLabs

CleverLabs is a Poland-based software engineering company founded in 2015, now with 45 in-house engineers, designers, and QA staff. The shop has delivered 17 projects to clients across the USA and EU, with an average client retention of 7+ years. They focus on web and API development for startups and established companies, offering both full-cycle project teams and staff augmentation across fintech, logistics, health insurance, HRM, blockchain, and telecommunications.

Services and capabilities

CleverLabs' core offerings cluster around custom web development, API architecture, integrations, and infrastructure. On the web side, they build corporate and consumer applications using Ruby on Rails, Node.js, NestJS, React, and HotWire/Turbo. Their API work is explicit: they've shipped APIs handling thousands of requests per second while maintaining 99% uptime, with expertise in REST, GraphQL, Grape, and WebSocket protocols.

System integrations are a stated strength, with hundreds completed across insurance carriers, payment processors, payroll systems, shipping carriers, marketplaces, and banks. AI assistant integration is a newer focus—they've built solutions that tap local knowledge bases for HR and employee access to legal/company docs, and they've integrated with Amazon Connect for voice assistants.

DevOps services cover deployment automation, infrastructure management, and monitoring using AWS (EC2, ECS, EKS, S3, CloudFront, RDS), Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and ELK logging. They also offer software modernization consulting and IT staff augmentation (part-time, full-time, and advisory roles).

Notable work

Their portfolio includes six featured projects. A cloud-based HRM and health insurance portal (USA-based, ongoing since 2016) runs 16 engineers across 8 modules: recruiting, onboarding, compliance, benefits enrollment, a locally-trained AI assistant, robotic process automation, healthcare proposal generation, integrated billing, and EDI. An ecommerce shipping platform (2017, ongoing) handles 3,000 API requests per second, integrates with Amazon, Shopify, Magento, USPS, and Easypost, and powers millions of shipping label prints weekly. A warehouse management system (2022, ongoing) automates order fulfillment with pick-and-pack scanner and QZ Tray printer integrations, built on HotWire for lightweight UI speed. A car parts portal (Estonia, 2022) manages ~2M SKU catalog with vendor integrations and bulk data sync. An IoT hub (Switzerland, 2024) connects time-and-attendance devices to HRM platforms via RESTful API with real-time logging. A personal shipping app (2021, ongoing) offers rate calculation and label generation across web and iOS/Android.

How they work

CleverLabs positions itself for both startup and enterprise engagements. For startups, they claim to offer prototyping through MVP with go-to-market shortcuts, leaning on their own startup operating experience. For companies, they supply either team augmentation or full-stack project teams. Engagement models explicitly include part-time and full-time staff augmentation plus consultancy. On the technical side, over 95% of code is covered by automated tests (unit, functional, integration, system) using RSpec, Chai, Jest, Cypress, Capybara, and Selenium. Pricing is not disclosed on the public site.
