Software Planet Group

Software Planet Group is a UK-based software development shop founded in 2004 and headquartered near Greater London, with offices in Guildford, Surrey. The company has worked with clients ranging from startups to Fortune 500 corporations across healthcare, fintech, ecommerce, telecommunications, and other sectors. Over 20 years, SPG has built expertise in Agile development using Scrum and XP practices, with stated capability to deliver MVPs in as little as two weeks—claiming to operate "up to 4x faster than the industry average."

The company operates development centres in Eastern Europe alongside its UK base, positioning itself as a bridge between UK-based clients and offshore capacity. While specific team size is not disclosed, SPG describes itself as fielding "large Agile teams" capable of working independently or integrated with client in-house operations.

Services and capabilities

SPG offers a tiered service model: full project outsourcing (where the company takes end-to-end responsibility), dedicated development teams (developers assigned exclusively to a client's projects), and team augmentation (remote specialists joining existing in-house teams). The company also provides legacy software refactoring, modernisation of outdated systems, and what it calls "technological partnership"—advisory work on infrastructure optimisation, cloud migration, and tech stack selection.

On the technology side, SPG works across Java and Scala for enterprise systems; Python for machine learning and web; Vue.js, React, and Angular for frontend; Node.js and PHP for server-side work; .NET and C# for web and desktop; and C++, Rust, and Go for cross-platform needs. Mobile development includes native (iOS, Android) and cross-platform frameworks such as React Native, Xamarin, and Cordova.

The company structures teams to be cross-functional, including full-stack developers, frontend and backend specialists, DevOps engineers, QA engineers, project managers, business analysts, and UI/UX designers. According to the source material, SPG does not use freelancers—teams are permanent and managed by the company.

How they work

SPG employs Scrum methodology and emphasises regular sprint reviews with daily status reports. For dedicated teams, developers report directly to the client's programme or project managers. The company offers a "risk-free trial period" for new engagements. Engagement pricing is not specified in the source, but the company mentions that with dedicated teams, clients "only pay for any work that is completed."

The typical workflow includes initial communication of business priorities and requirements, planning (determining where the software will reside, technology fit, integration needs), MVP development, defect fixing, and full post-deployment support including knowledge transfer and infrastructure setup.

Team and credentials

No founding team members are named in the source. SPG has offices in the UK (Guildford, Surrey) and development centres in Eastern Europe but does not disclose headcount. The source references Clutch rating and "years in business" on the site but does not provide the actual numbers or review count. No ISO, SOC 2, or other formal certifications are mentioned. The company does claim to combine "reliable, customized software solutions" with "unrivaled offshore value," per a quote attributed to journalist Kate Gross of fixthephoto.com.

Client testimonials in the source include a VP of Engineering at a Miami-based hospitality company, the CEO of Iron.io (Las Vegas), the founder and CEO of Sequitur News (Champaign, Illinois), and a Performance Manager at Nokia (Budapest). A quote also references work with a company that now has "hundreds of users, including over 80 paying ones."

Notable work

The source material does not name specific case studies or projects. It references "featured case studies" and "proven success stories" but does not elaborate on what was delivered or measurable outcomes beyond the testimonials noted above. The company indicates it has worked with "hundreds of businesses across the UK" but provides no detailed project examples.
