BYTEPOETS

What BYTEPOETS does

BYTEPOETS GmbH is an Austrian custom software development firm headquartered in Graz, founded in 2011 and operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of MarineXchange Software GmbH. The company provides professional services across native and cross-platform mobile app development (iOS via Swift/SwiftUI, Android via Kotlin, cross-platform via Flutter since 2019), web development (enterprise software, web platforms, responsive websites using Angular, Next.js, Spring Boot, .NET Core, PostgreSQL), UI/UX design (Sketch, Figma, InVision, Adobe CC), and agile/Scrum consulting. It targets a mixed client base of startups, mid-market companies, and international enterprises, executing work through fully agile, agile fixed-price, and time-and-materials engagements.

The firm differentiates on process discipline rather than proprietary technology: it has practiced Scrum since 2011, runs an in-house development model (no outsourcing), and emphasizes a sustainability/longevity-first design philosophy, comprehensive QA (design review, code review, automated testing), and long-term partnership relationships. BYTEPOETS reports 300+ completed projects and a "Great Place To Work" recognition; named client engagements include Merkur Versicherung (insurance mobile app), Everlisten (audiology web/app platform), and ARTUS Steuerberatung (tax advisory app).

The business is sales-led and consultative, running a top-of-funnel of free UI/UX checks, portfolio downloads, and initial consultations, followed by workshops, proposals, and implementation. The team is small — 7 employees are named on the website within a stated 11–50 range — and includes Martina Fügerl (CFO), Dominik Korpic (Sales), Verena Klampferer (Marketing & HR), and four developers (Florian Hamal, Markus Friedl, Thomas Grinschgl, Karin Wilding); separate leadership data references Markus Barta as CEO/Founder and Karl Struggl as CTO/Founder. No external funding, M&A, or revenue figures are disclosed.
