What Efisco does

Efisco SP. Z O.O. is a privately held nearshore software development services company founded in November 2016 by CEO Alexandre Yakovlev, headquartered in Gdańsk, Poland, with a delivery office in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The company employs 51–100 people and serves EU-based enterprises, mid-market firms, and startups with three engagement models: Augmented Team (staff augmentation with full administrative support), Managed Geeks (hourly-based managed developers reporting to the client's product owner), and 360° Solution (full-cycle project delivery scoped to web and mobile apps built on PHP and JavaScript stacks). Core technical stacks include PHP, Python, JavaScript, Microsoft .NET, Java, Laravel, React, React Native, Node.js, Vue.js, Flutter, and Dart.

The business model is human-capital services rather than software products: revenue is generated through a transparent monthly fixed price per person (covering service fee, employee salary, and direct taxes) or hourly billing for managed and project-based engagements. Go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field sales plus inside sales, supported by content marketing (blog, SEO) targeting nearshore, outstaffing, and hiring-developer keywords, and event participation such as Slush 2021. Distribution is direct to EU clients with no intermediary channels, leveraging the Poland/Ukraine nearshore positioning. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, operates under GDPR compliance as a data processor, and reports working with 'several hundreds of customers' across nine named logos spanning Market Research, HR Tech, Content Management, SaaS, and Advertising Intelligence.

Core offering

Efisco provides nearshore software development and IT staffing services from Poland and Ukraine through three engagement models: Augmented Team (staff augmentation where engineers integrate into client teams with Efisco handling all administration), Managed Geeks (hourly-billed developers managed by a dedicated project manager reporting to the client's product owner), and 360° Solution (full-cycle project development from specification to working application limited to web and mobile using PHP and JavaScript stacks).

Product overview

Efisco is a nearshore software development services company offering three distinct engagement models for clients seeking development resources from Poland and Ukraine. The portfolio consists of Augmented Team (staff augmentation with administrative support), Managed Geeks (hourly-based managed developers with dedicated project manager), and 360° Solution (full-cycle project development). Efisco does not offer a single unified software product; rather, it provides human capital and project delivery services across various technology stacks including PHP, Python, JavaScript, .NET, and Java.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Augmented Team Staff augmentation model where Efisco integrates top engineers into the client's in-house team from Poland or Ukraine. The client remains the managing party for their development team while Efisco handles all administrative tasks including recruitment, onboarding, HR administration, IT infrastructure, finance and legal support, and facility management. Not limited to specific technology stacks.
• Managed Geeks Managed team model where Efisco recruits developers on an hourly basis with a dedicated project manager assigned to manage the external team. The managed team operates as part of the client's in-house team but reports to the client's product owner.
• 360° Solution Full-cycle project development model where Efisco handles complete software development from concept to finished product. The process includes client interviews to convert ideas into technical specifications, technology and architecture proposals, creation of quotations, and leading development from idea to working application sprint by sprint. Scope is limited to web and mobile app development using PHP and JavaScript tech stacks (Laravel, React, React Native, Node.js, Vue.js, Flutter, and Dart).
