Their stated process includes discovery and research, business analysis, documentation, architecture, UX/UI design, front-end and back-end development, QA testing, and post-launch support. They advertise ability to adjust workflows for clients who arrive with pre-written technical requirements documents.

The company structures its work around three specialist domains: Internet of Things (smartHome, wearables, embedded systems), Sports (sports analytics, wellness, betting platforms, fantasy apps), and On-Demand Economy (car rentals, delivery management, food delivery apps, marketplaces). They also serve logistics and transportation, media and entertainment, and climate tech sectors.

On the technology side, Mbicycle emphasizes Java and .NET as primary platforms. They have Microsoft Certified Solutions Developers and cite 8+ years delivering Java solutions to engineering, insurance, oil management, and other sectors. Mobile work spans native iOS (Swift) and Android development, plus cross-platform tools including React Native, Ionic, Xamarin, Flutter, and Cordova. A separate frontend department handles responsive and accessible web interfaces. The company also maintains a dedicated quality assurance and service quality department combining automated and manual testing.
