Why companies like Calendly and SendGrid trust us

The strongest competence that we bring to the table is our proven approach to web application development.

Railsware builds products that succeed, and we do that efficiently and cost-effectively. We've built products for Calendly, Google, SendGrid, and other companies. Here is why successful startups choose Railsware's web design and development services:

  • Engineering culture
    There is a cultural fit among people who work at our web development agency. We have extremely high standards for hiring. Our values include excellence, honesty, and respect. Our clients are our partners. Bringing value to them is our key work principle. We never stop at just "good enough." We always strive for “great”.
  • Product mindset
    We have a product mindset, as opposed to a project mindset. Web development project success is measured by how closely we stick to the initial plan and how well we accomplish tasks. Our objective is not to just deliver projects but to deliver value through products. We communicate objectives instead of tasks and build products that stick around.
  • High-performing team
    Our team consists of web developers who cover both front- and back-end web development, UX/UI designers and product managers. We work on all aspects involved in custom web application development. Our team structure allows us to launch products faster, achieve greater flexibility, and have a better focus on the customer.
  • Synergy
    They say “If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." Meaningful cooperation between our clients and our team is our recipe for success. We work together toward a shared goal: a great product. We achieve it by being consistent and transparent, and by building relationships based on trust and mutual respect.

CALENDLY

Calendly is a fast-growing company in the sphere of event scheduling. The app has over two million paying users to date. The founder only had a rough idea of the product when he first came to us. We helped to build a PoC and MVP and grew the product to the current level with all the tech challenges faced on the way. The product went viral pretty fast with almost no marketing efforts. We continue working with the Calendly team on product improvements.

MAILTRAP

Mailtrap is a platform built by Railsware to solve an engineering problem. Now, it’s the solution to Test, Send, and Control your email infrastructure in one place. Mailtrap became the toolset of organizations such as PayPal, Atlassian, Github, Adobe, Discovery, and more. Over 60% of new sign-ups try Mailtrap and become active users.

BRIGHTBYTES

BrightBytes is the leading data management platform for education organizations. It is serving more than 2,800 districts across 47 states of the USA. BrightBytes provides schools with the tools and services to measure the impact of technology on the learning process. The company has raised a total of $51.5 million over several rounds of investments. Our team took part in building Clarity and DataSense products, the latter acquired by Microsoft.

We repeatedly apply our custom approach to build winning products

Our approach takes the best from Agile, Design Thinking, and Lean and augments it with our own experience. We've applied it to more than 90 products and countless prototypes. See some more examples of our works below:

Knowa: better governance for senior management

Knowa is a unique project management solution for executives and boards. It organizes all the board's information and activity into shared workspaces allowing executives to collaborate on projects in a secure environment. We built the Knowa platform from scratch helping our client shape the product vision, design and develop the application and launch it to customers.

OfficeSpace - a search engine for your workplace

As the world's leading workplace management software, OfficeSpace is the platform of choice for companies trying to navigate workplace disruptions and manage workspace dynamics. From space management and social distancing to desk booking and employee requests, OfficeSpace provides the flexibility and agility companies need to manage their current workspace - and create a better place for everyone.
Railsware has been involved in the development of various core features of OfficeSpace, including Room and Desk booking, Safeguard feature, and others. We’ve also improved the test coverage and introduced new testing tools, built Android/iOS wrappers for the Visual Directory, etc.

Our clients succeed

Our clients are our partners with whom we build products together.

Collaboration between us is an engaging process that results in exceptional solutions. There is a clear link between what we do and the objectives of the work we are doing. We integrate deeply into our client's domain and take ownership of the results.

Product-focused engineering is at the heart of Railsware

In agile web development, you are never working on a purely technical issue, there’re always users involved. We engage in the web development process on a higher level than writing code. We think about the product as a whole and keep end users in mind. This approach encourages more frequent releases and earlier feedback from the market. The result: you get a better product faster.

  • Find the right problem
    The first step in product development is to find a problem that a user needs to solve. Putting a user in the center of everything we do helps us to focus on what really matters.
  • Find the right solution to solve the problem
    Very often one and the same problem can be solved with a variety of methods, but not all of them are cost-effective and efficient. Finding the right solution to a user problem is the second step of our process.
  • Go through a cycle of iterations
    An implementation plan is our method to analyze the problem from different angles. We add issues, benefits, and risks to every idea in our plan thus making it easy to identify the best solution. Then, iteration by iteration we gradually move the product from concept to production.
  • Receive feedback about the product
    We collect feedback from everybody involved including users, stakeholders, and a product development team, and manage it in a special project in Jira. After analyzing the feedback we come up with ideas on how to improve the product.
Our expertise
We specialize in Ruby on Rails web development and build remarkable applications using the best web development tools. Our tech stack proved its efficiency on technically challenging projects. For example, we've built an email delivery platform that sends 70 million emails per day. Another project is a recommendation engine that regularly processes millions of data points. We are particularly well-versed in the development of AI-powered solutions and finance software.
