What Garage Labs does

Garage Labs SpA is a privately held Chilean technology consultancy founded in December 2017 and headquartered in Santiago, operating across Chile, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. The firm sells four integrated service lines to enterprise and mid-market buyers: a Software Factory delivering custom web, mobile, eCommerce, and UX/UI projects; Staff Augmentation providing pre-vetted LATAM digital professionals under an employer-of-record model; Head Hunting for strategic digital recruitment; and a Cloud Infrastructure service offering AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud implementation, migration, and 24/7 managed support with 99.9% SLAs. Its technology stack centers on Ruby on Rails, React.js, Node.js, PHP/WordPress, and PostgreSQL on AWS, with documented CI/CD automation via Capistrano and CodePipeline and integrations including SAP via REST API.

The company monetizes through project-based professional services fees (Software Factory, Head Hunting) and recurring managed-services fees (Staff Augmentation, Cloud Infrastructure), with quote-based, multi-year enterprise contracts and no public pricing. Its go-to-market is consultative direct sales via website inquiry forms, supplemented by content marketing, regional event participation (Chile Fintech Forum, EtMday, AWS co-marketing), and an enterprise logo base including Miele, BHP, SQM, Caja Los Andes, Masisa, ISA Interchile, Banco BICE, Knauf, Amplifon, Parque Arauco, Empack, Melón, and Gallagher. Notable client deliverables include the BHP internal communication app (2,000+ users), the Masisa B2B eCommerce platform (USD 60,000+/year server savings via AWS migration), the Knauf logistics platform, the Miele B2B/B2C sales platform, the Coolprice multi-vendor marketplace, and the Lexgo legal-tech SaaS, the last of which incorporates AI-powered document review and electronic signature workflows. Garage Labs holds multiple AWS Partner Network accreditations and is founder- or management-owned with no disclosed external funding or parent company.
