Empressia

Empressia is a Polish software house founded in 2010. The company started as a two-person operation and has since completed over 1,000 projects across web development, e-commerce, mobile apps, and product design. It works with clients across Europe, North America, and Australia, serving both direct businesses and acting as a subcontractor for interactive agencies. The team is structured around development and SEO departments, with roles ranging from front-end and back-end developers to UI/UX designers and copywriters.

Services and capabilities

Empssia offers four core service lines. Web development covers both front-end work using React and Vue, and back-end systems using Symfony4 and custom solutions. E-commerce work includes implementations on Prestashop for smaller stores and Sylius for complex, scalable platforms, plus custom solutions for systems requiring external integrations. Mobile development spans Android and iOS using React Native and Flutter—the company claims this approach accelerates development by 20–30% compared to native approaches, freeing capacity for iteration and feature work.

Product design encompasses design sprints (structured workshops based on Google's methodology), UX design with mockups and testing, and UI design grounded in human-centered principles. A separate tech partnership offering includes ongoing maintenance for deployed products and body leasing—placing dedicated developers on client projects.

Notable work

The company has worked with a range of institutions and commercial entities. University Hospital in Kraków received a website for Poland's largest clinical hospital. Termy Chochołowskie (the largest water park in Poland) and Willisch (ice cream delivery service) are local brand examples. Tipply is an online donation system with streamer integrations. Label Magazine, a Polish bimonthly design publication, received web and e-commerce development. DATUMO, a Big Data provider, and Analytics Intell, a smart analytics service, represent B2B clients. The company also worked on Formobile, a platform for European law enforcement, and Adam Mickiewicz University, a major Polish academic institution.

How they work

Empssia structures projects in four phases. Discovery involves detailed workshops to understand goals, target audience, and customer needs. UI/UX brainstorming and ideation comes next. Product development follows, emphasizing cross-team communication and attention to detail—mock-ups and tests precede coding. The fourth phase is ongoing relations: the company positions itself as a partner that doesn't disengage after launch. Pricing is not mentioned on the site. The company uses Jira for project management, Slack for communication, Docker for deployment, and GitLab for version control. CI/CD and automated testing are standard practice.

Tomek is listed as owner. Aga leads delivery; Sebastian is a front-end team lead. The company rates 5/5 on Clutch (exact review count not stated).
