What SDET DIGITAL LTD does

SDET DIGITAL LTD is a UK-based private limited company headquartered in Leeds that operates as a B2B professional services firm delivering custom software development, technology consulting, and end-to-end digital transformation services to enterprises and high-tech companies. Its portfolio comprises 17 distinct offerings organised into nine core services (technology consulting, software development, mobile and web development, software testing, IT infrastructure, cyber security, system integration, IT staffing) and eight solutions (digital transformation, cloud, DevOps, big data analytics, blockchain, AI, IoT, BI). The firm engages clients via direct enterprise sales, supporting Fixed Price, Time and Materials, and Dedicated Team engagement models with custom project-based pricing.

The underlying technology stack spans modern web and mobile frameworks (Laravel, Vue.js, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Python, Django, Java) alongside enterprise platforms and testing tools (Selenium, JMeter, Apache, TestStand, LabVIEW, SonarQube) and major cloud providers (AWS, Azure). Delivery is underpinned by an Agile development framework with end-to-end visibility, traceability matrices, code reviews, and a CI/CD-centric DevOps tool-chain. SDET markets itself globally despite operating from two Leeds-area offices, and its only publicly named enterprise customer is Ageas (insurance). Founded around 2015, the company is founder-operated and privately held with no disclosed funding, parent entity, or leadership team details.

The business model is project- and retainer-based professional services revenue, monetised through bespoke engagements rather than proprietary products or licensing. The company targets enterprises requiring legacy modernisation, cloud migration, system integration, cybersecurity, and digital transformation support, with secondary focus on scale-ups requiring custom SaaS and CRM/CMS solutions. All revenue streams are classified as professional services, and customer concentration, headcount, and financial scale are not publicly disclosed, limiting external visibility into the firm's economic profile.
