HQSoftware

HQSoftware is a custom software development firm founded in 2001 with 125+ specialists across offices in Europe and the USA. Based in Poland, the company has delivered over 450 projects to 300 clients across 25+ countries, including partnerships with the United Nations, HTC, BBC, and SEGA. The firm specializes in full-cycle development across Java, .NET, PHP, and Node.js, with particular strength in AI/ML, VR/AR, IoT, and domain-specific solutions for finance, healthcare, eCommerce, and education sectors.

Services and capabilities

HQSoftware's service portfolio spans the entire development lifecycle. Core offerings include custom software development from scratch, dedicated development teams, mobile app development (native, cross-platform, and hybrid), full-stack web development, software product development, and tech consulting with rapid prototyping. They also handle software re-engineering, legacy modernization, third-party customization, and ongoing maintenance.

The company has built substantial depth in specialized domains. For AI/ML work, they provide data engineering, machine learning modules, and predictive analytics—evidenced by projects like an AI-powered chatbot that reduced call volume by 35% for a medical clinic and a predictive maintenance platform that cut equipment downtime by 45%. Their VR/AR practice spans training simulations, medical visualization, and retail applications, including a virtual fitting room that reduced returns by 30%. IoT projects include sensor-based air quality monitoring for smart homes. They offer DevOps services covering CI/CD implementation and infrastructure-as-code.

The development process is underpinned by a Quality Excellence Office to oversee budgets and timelines, with transparency managed through Slack and Jira. Rapid prototyping is available—the company claims a 5-day prototype turnaround. They operate under strict NDA and guarantee IP rights and security assurance.

Notable work

Across their portfolio, measurable outcomes anchor their case studies. A sensor-based air health analyzer for smart homes integrated Java, React Native, PostgreSQL, and Apache Kafka into a cloud-backed IoT system. An AR platform for marketers achieved a 5x increase in engagement by allowing users to design marker-based and markerless campaigns without advanced technical skills. A recycling rewards mobile app built with React Native and Node.js now serves 54,000 users in Sweden and delivered a 3x performance boost. A financial audit platform for Australia reduced audit time from 2 weeks to 2–4 days and processes nearly 10,000 audits annually. An insurance company automation system consolidated three third-party systems into a single internal platform handling agent certification, onboarding, commission billing, and claims payment.

In healthcare, HQSoftware developed Bodyscope, a VR medical app for visualizing CT and MRI scans built with .NET, ASP.Net Core, and Unreal Engine. A VR medical education platform achieved 63% knowledge retention. VR training simulations for occupational skills achieved 84% engagement, while an aviation training platform reduced training costs by 47%.

How they work

The company offers two primary engagement models: a dedicated team (project manager, business analyst, designer, developers, QA, DevOps, and others as needed) working as an extension of the client's business, or developers and QAs managed by the client's own project manager or product owner. Quick start timelines are typical: 2 weeks for small teams, up to 1 month for larger teams. Clients can begin with a pilot project lasting 2–4 weeks to test fit. Staff retention averages 4 years, and the firm holds Microsoft, Zend, ISTQB, Scrum, and MongoDB certifications. Pricing is custom and depends on features, platforms, technologies, deadline, team size, and developer seniority; the company provides free individual proposals after intake.
