Nile Bits

Nile Bits is an Egypt-based software development outsourcer founded by Amr Saafan, operating from Montreal, Quebec, with a North American-facing sales presence. The company claims to have delivered over 2,000 projects across 20+ industries and handles custom software development, dedicated teams, DevOps, e-commerce, mobile apps, QA, and staff augmentation. They emphasize cost efficiency—positioning themselves as a lower-cost alternative to North American development without sacrificing quality—and stress on-time delivery. Specific team size information is not disclosed on the public website.

Services and capabilities

Nile Bits' core offering is custom software development: they build bespoke solutions rather than selling off-the-shelf products, claiming 100% customer ownership with no subscription or royalty fees. They work across gaming, healthcare, real estate, and EdTech verticals. The company describes itself as "technology independent," meaning they don't push proprietary stacks; instead, they claim to select tools based on specific business needs.

Beyond custom development, they offer dedicated team engagements (placing engineers on client payroll), staff augmentation (adding developers to existing teams), DevOps services, Salesforce implementation and augmentation, web and mobile app development, QA and testing, and e-commerce solutions. One testimonial mentions Azure migration work ("User Assigned" identities in Azure, MVC .NET framework adaptation), another references Salesforce implementation acceleration, and a third covers Point of Sale and Business Management System rollout.

The company notes its DevOps work involves transitioning systems and ongoing maintenance commitments. For e-commerce, they built a booking engine solution. QA services are listed but not detailed beyond the standard service listing.
