What is Clutch and how it works

Clutch.co offers in-depth reviews and stats that aim to maximize your chance to choose the right software development company for whatever venture you go for – mobile and web applications, quality product design, custom software engineering in any technology, etc.

Based on all the information they are able to collect, Clutch prepares Leader Matrixes where the highest-rated software development outsourcing companies are listed based on focus score (level of specialization in a given technology) and their ability to deliver (overall expertise based on a variety of criteria such as client reviews, awards and past projects). 

The selected companies from Poland, The Software House included, not only had a proven track record of delivering the highest quality tech products but were also assessed based on offered software development services, industry awards, positive customer reviews, and more.

You can find the whole list of top software companies in Poland on the Clutch.co official release. 

Clutch awards received by The Software House

The recent honours are not the first ones received by The Software House from Clutch.

Back in 2018, Clutch named us top B2B software developers in Poland. That same year, we were also hand-selected as one of the top web development companies in Poland on The Manifest – Clutch’s sister website that guides buyers through the buying journey.

Later that year, we also reached for the international title. It came sooner than we expected. The Software House has been included on a list of IT outsourcing companies from all over the world – the Clutch 1000 ranking. Even a mention would be great, but our position exceeded our wildest dreams!

We were named the world’s 150th best software development company – not that bad, right?

To put all of that into perspective, let’s take a look at how Clutch makes their picks.

Clutch methodology

The biggest value Clutch can give to a company looking for top web development, mobile app development and professional software developers lies in its methodology and the trustworthiness of the provided data.

In practice, Clutch does it by constantly following strict review processing rules:

• They collect most of the data personally
• They collect data in a structured way, so it’s always comparable
• Reviews can be added only by the clients of reviewed companies
• Reviews are carefully verified by the Clutch team to make sure that they are genuine
• Clutch puts reviewed companies through a thorough verification process, in which they verify information such as legal status, credit report, but also market presence and reputation in an industry

Most importantly, Clutch has every reason to make sure that their data-driven content best reflects reality. After all, the integrity of the data they provide is at the core of Clutch’s business.

Why look for your custom software development in Poland anyway? 

Nowadays, Central and Eastern Europe is a very popular region to outsource software development. Especially, Poland is an active software development hub, offering very high-quality solutions for competitive prices in comparison to steep budgets of American or Western European top custom software development companies. Software developers in Poland are already a brand of their own, being universally praised for undeniable software engineering skills, hard work and proficient English.

Quoting Alexa Goodrow (Clutch Customer Experience Analyst):

“The IT industry is one of the strongest sectors in Poland, drawing demand and investment domestically and internationally. The highlighted companies have emerged as leaders based on their skilled technical expertise and customer service. We’re proud to finally recognize them as the best in their field”.

We have already covered the topic of why top international businesses decide on outsourcing web development and mobile app development to software development companies in Poland in previous articles.

For now, let’s go back to celebrating our “The best software development company in Poland” award! 🎉

Every software company claims to be the best at one technology or another but sometimes it’s not easy to separate the truth from marketing. If everybody is at the top, then who really is?

How did we become the top software developers in Poland?

Becoming one of the top Polish software development company took years of experience in technology and business cooperation with our clients. Marek Gajda, the CTO of The Software House, believes that the main reason for The Software House’s success is the individual approach to every customer:

We maintain a partnership in our customer relations and believe that neither party should impose their will, but create high-quality software together. Us – by providing the best user experience, technological knowledge and skills. The customer – by bringing the domain knowledge about their industry, business and inside practices.

When asked about the recognition, Mateusz Kubiczek, the CTO of The Software House, admits that the aforementioned approach works and the first place in the Clutch ranking (and other awards that we constantly receive) is the result of high specialization of software development in Poland.

We create really advanced web applications focused on excellent user experience. We work in JavaScript (React, Node.js, microservices), PHP and Cloud (AWS, serverless, dockerisation). As a result, we are appreciated by demanding customers from the United States, Western Europe and the Middle East

The best developers creating custom software development products for clients worldwide

However, customer service would not be possible without our skilled developers. Our management is very employer-focused and makes every effort to ensure that every software developer grows according to their interests and work only in projects in which they fulfil their professional ambitions.

“We take care of individual predispositions and the constant education of every software developer on board. We want everybody to show off their skills and strengths. That’s why we place great emphasis on mentoring programs that have already helped us to build some of the most competent development teams in Poland” – points out Marek Gajda.    

„For this purpose, we care about local recognition in Poland to attract incredibly talented native specialists to The Software House and allow them to spread their wings here.” – Mateusz Kubiczek adds. “We can already see this approach works and pays off. The happy and experienced software development team translates into strategic cooperation (often lasting several years) with existing clients and a rapid increase in the number of new projects” – he concludes.
