What type of companies work with SAUCO?

We work with companies of any type that need custom technology solutions. Our clients are usually in sectors where operational efficiency is critical: logistics, finance, manufacturing, B2B retail, and professional services.

What type of solutions does SAUCO implement?

We develop solutions focused on transforming real operations: process automation and intelligent workflows, critical integrations with APIs and systems, AI applications for daily operations, real-time dashboards and data analytics, and B2B products with cloud-native architecture and enterprise security.

How long does it take to develop a solution?

It depends on complexity, but our FDE (Forward Deployed Engineering) model allows us to deliver value from the first weeks. A functional MVP is usually ready in 4-8 weeks, and complete solutions in 3-6 months. We prioritize incremental deliveries so you see results quickly.

What is the FDE working process like?

We integrate directly into your team. We start with a deep immersion to understand your real operation, not what reports say. Then we build functional prototypes that we validate with you, iterate quickly, and scale what works. It's frontline engineering, not remote development.

What makes SAUCO different from a traditional software factory?

Software factories execute specifications. We question the problem before building. We speak P&L, not just code. Our incentive is aligned with your outcome: we seek the shortest Time-to-Value, not maximizing billable hours.

Do you offer maintenance after development?

Yes, but our goal is that you don't need us. We design maintainable systems, document every decision, and train your team. We offer ongoing support for those who prefer it, but also complete knowledge transfer for teams that want autonomy.

Do you work with startups or only established companies?

We work with both, but with criteria. For startups, we need to see initial traction and a clear problem to solve. We don't do speculative MVPs. For established companies, we look for internal sponsors with decision-making power and a real operational problem that justifies the investment.
