Our Story

2013: Inception and Beginnings

Today’s Computools, as Software Development Company, was started in 2013 by Sergii Tymchuk, Grigoriy Shadara, Oleg Svet and Viktoria Stepanova in Ukraine, Zaporizhzhya.

In our early years, we worked with startups from the USA, UK, and Canada. This is how we met Roger Marion, who later became our first advisor and then transferred the rights to the Computools brand.

2014-2016: New Direction, Growth and Expansion

In 2014, we experienced substantial growth and launched key software development projects. By the end of 2015, the company’s workforce had increased by 49%.

In 2015, we opened offices in the USA (New York) and UK (London) to be closer to our clients and moved HQ to New York.

In 2016, we made significant growth in its team and branches. This year was crucial for expanding the range of services, working with like minded startups, and developing projects based on the Internet of Things. We started working with industries like Healthcare, Finance, and Media, expanding its expertise in these areas. Our team expanded more than twice, by 135%.

2017-2018: Major Projects and Partnerships

In 2017, we successfully completed major projects, like a proactive cartridge refilling solution for Epson, digital transformation of a major Caribbean Bank bank together with IBM, created a virtual fitting app for Dior and transformed flight documentation management for Bombardier. The number of our projects increased tenfold compared to the previous year.

We opened in Tel Aviv (Israel), Lodz (Poland), Kyiv and Dnipro (Ukraine).

In 2018, we accomplished key milestones in business, completing complex projects like Keller Covered, delivering interactive and intuitive insurance purchasing tools for real estate. We added large global brands to the customer list. We opened offices in Norway (Oslo) and Sweden (Stockholm). We again increased the number of active projects, leading to an expanded team. This year was marked by a significant increase in the number of vacancies in our company, with the quantity of employees growing by 152%.

2019-2021: Recognition and Certification

2019 was a year of expansion and recognition for Computools. We achieved high rankings in various lists, including Top Software Developers, Web Development Companies, Mobile App Development Companies, and more. We acquired CMS Games LLC, and by the end of the year, the number of employees increased by 24%.

By 2020, we opened offices in Warsaw (Poland).

In 2020, Computools was recognised as one of the top companies in the global outsourcing industry in “The 2020 Global Outsourcing 100” by IAOP. This award marked our contribution to technological innovation at WorldTicket, Homesearch, Metrycom, British Council and BuzzFeed among others.

The same year, we faced a significant challenge due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In March and April 2020, it lost approximately 60% of its turnover. However, even in these difficult times, we supported our colleagues. Within 3-4 months, we managed to recover part of the lost turnover, and we returned to pre-crisis levels by February 2021.

In 2021, we opened offices in Brussels (Belgium) and Berlin (Germany).

The same year, we were certified according to the international quality management standard ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001.

2024: COMPETENCY EXPANSION

In 2024, we were recognised as one of the top companies in the global outsourcing industry in “The 2024 Global Outsourcing 100” by IAOP.

The same year, TechReviewer recognised us as one of the Top Artificial Intelligence Companies, and the analytical portal Goodfirms awarded us the Official Research Partner.

We acquired a company specialising in Hardware Development this year, to strengthen our competencies in advanced technologies,  so you could leverage our expertise for your projects.
