What Matreshka Lab does

Matreshka Lab (legal entity: OOO Matreshka Lab Tekhnologii, founded 2019, headquartered in Moscow) is a Russian IT outsourcing and outstaffing boutique that designs, builds, and integrates custom software for enterprise clients across government, finance, insurance, retail, e-commerce, logistics, industrial, healthcare, telecoms, education, HR, and corporate-startup segments. Its core service portfolio covers enterprise systems (ERP, CRM, SRM, WMS, MES), high-load web portals and marketplaces, native and cross-platform mobile applications, DevOps/CloudOps, API development and integration, software testing, solution optimization, and migration from foreign software to domestic/open technology stacks. The technology stack is conventional full-stack: Java/Spring, .NET, Python, Node.js, Vue.js/React, PostgreSQL/Oracle/MSSQL, MongoDB, Kafka/RabbitMQ, Kotlin and Swift for mobile, and Python-based TensorFlow/Keras/OpenCV for AI features.

The company sells professional services on a fixed-price basis, with rates locked for the contract term, multi-year engagements, and dedicated team or outstaffing arrangements that include a trial period and free replacement guarantee. Distribution is direct enterprise sales within the Russian Federation only; lead generation runs through the corporate website and inbound consultation requests. The firm is privately held, has no disclosed investors, parent, or funding rounds, and reports a team of 3-5 people. Customer references are limited to four small Russian counterparties (SafeTech Lab, ECS, Innovations and Design, Smarttech), all procurement-style testimonials. Partnerships are functional integrations rather than GTM alliances: a core relationship with 1C and a long tail of integrations with Russian payment gateways (Tinkoff, YooKassa, Sberbank, ATOL, SBP), marketplaces (Wildberries, Ozon, Yandex Market), delivery (CDEK, Yandex Delivery), and identity/auth (ESIA, Sber ID).
