**DeSmart** has been on the market since 2003 and has completed almost 200 projects for 104 clients and counting. But it’s not the numbers that define us. It’s the color teal. Teal symbolizes calmness and clarity. As an organization, we consider ourselves a teal structure, based on building and growing mutual relationships that benefit everyone involved.

What sets us apart is our human-first software development approach.

**DeSmart **is made up of people, and people are the most important factor. Our team, our clients, and their customers are our top priority. We’re defined by our common values and not by a hierarchy of positions defining individual status or pecking order. 

We’re a group of independent specialists who enjoy working with each other. Everyone has a specific function and tasks, but we’re also flexible. We have no superiors or bosses looking over our shoulders, monitoring our every move, or following our progress.

Instead, we have a common mission and skills so we can engage even in the most difficult challenges. We don’t always agree with each other, but our diversity of viewpoints improves our optics so we can make joint decisions about the choice of technology, new projects, and company strategy. This gives us the perfect dynamic for upward mobility in an ever-changing world.

This is not a fairy tale about some non-existent utopia, but an actively created and inspiring reality in which we aim to stay and act together through communication and cooperation. We treat each other as equal partners, without judging, bidding, or betting on ego. We’re fully responsible for the vast majority of our projects: from the point of inception of the client's idea to the launch of the finished product on the market. Only 25% of projects are implemented under the so-called “bench”.

Human-first software development is much more than a catchy advertising slogan. At DeSmart, what matters most is who we are, not just the skills we have. We offer benefits tailored to the individual needs of our experts – their daily rhythm, preferences, and interests.


**Flexible working hours**
We’re an integrated group of early birds and night owls and are motivated to get to the task at hand. Being passionate about what we do and enthusiastic about creating solutions, we’re open to working at the times and in the places that stimulate us most.

**Team support**
We’re a close-knit team and we can count on each other in every matter – private and professional. Move? Help in caring for the baby? No problem. We always bring good vibes and a positive spirit!
