Hit Ocean

HitOcean is an Argentina-based software development shop founded by Joaquin Mazoud (CEO), Lucas Blanco (CTO), and Federico Hombre (CCO). The company describes itself as an "AI Software Factory" and builds custom software for startups, SMBs, and large enterprises across Latin America and beyond. They claim over 45 applications launched and 50+ projects delivered, though specific team headcount is not disclosed.

The firm operates three service lines: Software (custom digital solutions), HitAI (automation and data analysis platforms), and HitSecurity (security and compliance). Their stated approach pairs two-week sprints with a dedicated project manager as the primary contact. They position themselves around "senior talent in LATAM" and AI expertise, and mention working with clients through discovery, development, and launch phases.

Named clients in their marketing materials include Geopark (energy/data), Tatam.Digital (creator marketplace), Nordicflow (app development), Data Force Solutions, Miinta (conversational AI platform), Whalemate, Seidor, and PAE. Testimonials reference improved operational efficiency, data-driven decision-making, and sustained engagement (one client continued iterating after initial delivery).

The company is Argentine and appears to operate primarily in Spanish, with English proficiency implied but not explicitly stated. Leadership includes Stephanie Cerf (Chief Marketing Officer) and product and people operations staff. Pricing, team structure, and specific technology stack are not detailed in available materials.

Services and capabilities

HitOcean's core offering is custom software development. They handle projects from concept through launch, including discovery-phase consulting when clients lack a defined product roadmap. Their HitAI division focuses on automation, advanced analytics, and custom AI platforms—conversational interfaces are mentioned explicitly. The HitSecurity line covers compliance, penetration testing, and security culture, though details are sparse.

They work in two-week sprints with shared backlogs and project management tooling (unspecified). A dedicated project manager leads each engagement and serves as the single point of contact. The company claims to adjust service models based on client needs: product-from-scratch builds, staff augmentation for existing teams, or maintenance for live systems.

Notable work

Geopark, an energy company, used HitOcean to improve "capacity to anticipate critical events and prioritize with real data." Tatam.Digital increased creator collaborations through a performance-focused approach. Nordicflow, after initial delivery, chose to continue improving their app with HitOcean, describing the decision as "natural." Data Force Solutions benefited from HitOcean's experience with integrated systems. Miinta built a conversational AI platform with HitOcean's support. Seidor improved customer access to critical information. PAE and Whalemate were cited for smooth integration between technology and business processes, and efficient delivery, respectively.

How they work

Engagement is structured around two-week sprints with clear objectives. Clients receive a dedicated team led by a project manager who acts as the primary contact. HitOcean uses shared backlogs and project management tools for transparency. The company states it can handle everything from pre-product discovery to deployment, meaning they work with clients who have only rough ideas as well as those with defined specifications. No pricing information is publicly available.
