Engineering platforms that power ambitious companies
Qalro is a boutique platform engineering studio. We build custom SaaS applications, enterprise tools, and modern platforms from the ground up—or modernize legacy systems that hold companies back.
Our approach
Most companies face one of two challenges: legacy systems holding back growth, or ambitious product visions needing expert execution.
We specialize in both greenfield SaaS development and modernizing legacy platforms. Whether you're building from scratch or evolving WordPress, Shopify, or custom PHP—we engineer scalable systems with Next.js, React Native, and enterprise-grade backends.
Our team combines product thinking with engineering excellence. We move fast, ship iteratively, and build platforms designed to scale with your business.
Mission-driven
We believe every mid-market company deserves access to enterprise-grade platform engineering without the enterprise overhead or timeline.
Product-first thinking
We don't just execute requirements. We challenge assumptions, suggest better approaches, and build what your users actually need.
Built to last
Every platform we engineer is secure, performant, and easy to evolve. We use proven technologies and write clean, maintainable code.
What makes us different
We're not an agency. We're not a freelancer marketplace. We're a focused team of senior engineers who care about outcomes.
Boutique team
Small, senior, focused. No junior developers learning on your project. Every team member has 8+ years of experience.
Senior Team Only
Small, focused, experienced. Every engineer has 8+ years building production systems. No junior developers learning on your project. We've shipped everything from SaaS platforms to high-traffic e-commerce to real-time applications.
Fast execution
3-4 week delivery for v1 scope. We move quickly, ship iteratively, and get you to market fast.
Transparent pricing
$35k-$150k for most projects. Fixed scope, clear timeline, no surprises. Enterprise agencies charge 3-4x for the same work.
Confidential work
We don't do case studies or public portfolios. Our clients value discretion and we respect that.
Full-stack depth
We handle everything from UI/UX to databases, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and AI integration.
Who we work with
We're selective about partnerships. We work best with teams who value quality over speed-to-cheap, understand the investment required for excellent engineering, and want a true partner, not just an execution arm.
