The flexibility of freelancers, with a team behind every engineer

Freelancers are quick to find, but you manage quality, security, and continuity yourself. With Kodevent you get the same flexibility with vetted engineers, QA, and a company accountable for delivery.

Staff augmentation or dedicated team

Compared with: your current vendor

Your current partner isn't delivering? We can take over at any stage

Missed deadlines, little visibility, or a team that doesn't fit happen often. We step in wherever your project is and manage a smooth transition, so delivery continues.

  1. Start

    Call and NDA

    We learn where the project stands and what isn't working, under NDA.

  2. Next

    Proposal

    Our analysts and developers propose the scope, team size, time, and cost to get back on track.

  3. Transition

    Smooth handover

    We assemble the right team and take over the work without stalling delivery.

  4. Ongoing

    Visible progress

    Regular status reports, demos, and clear milestones keep you in control.

When staying may be the better choice: if the issues are small and your vendor responds to feedback, fixing the relationship is often cheaper than switching.

Before you decide

Is Kodevent more expensive than hiring in-house?

Compare the full cost, not just salaries: recruiting time, benefits, training, management overhead, and the cost of empty seats while you hire. Our proposal lists team, timeline, and cost up front, and project work runs on Time and Materials, so you pay only for time actually used.

When should we not work with Kodevent?

For a small, one-off task with a clear scope, a freelancer is often simpler. For core roles you want to own for many years, hiring in-house may be the better long-term choice. We'll tell you honestly if that's your situation.

Can we start small and grow?

Yes. Many clients start with one or two engineers and scale into a dedicated team. You can change team size as your needs change.

How do you take over from another vendor?

We step in at any stage. After a call under NDA, we learn where the project stands, propose a plan and team, and manage the handover so delivery doesn't stall.

Will the engineers work in our time zone?

Our hubs in Poland, Georgia, and Uzbekistan overlap with both US and European business hours, and we match engineers to your time zone and culture.
