What MeguMethod does

MeguMethod s.r.o. is a Prague-headquartered custom software development agency founded in 2014 (originally as SYNETECH and rebranded in 2022) that builds native mobile applications for iOS (Swift/SwiftUI) and Android (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose), along with web applications and IoT-connected products. Its service stack is organized into five modules — strategy analysis, product design, prototyping and testing, application development, and launch/support — with integrated QA based on ISTQB methodology. Notable client deliverables include the Oriflame consumer app (10M downloads, 1M+ MAU across 62+ markets), the tado° smart-heating app (1M+ global users), the ISIC digital student card (236k MAU across 130+ countries), and enterprise portals for Škoda, NN Insurance, and Jablotron; the company has shipped 35+ apps reaching 2.5M aggregate MAU. Revenue comes from professional-services contracts (project-based custom development) and a newly introduced App as a Service (AaaS) subscription launched in May 2026, with three published tiers (CZK 25,000 / 35,000 / custom per month) plus a CZK 18,000 one-time setup fee and a 6-month minimum commitment, distributed through direct enterprise sales and a new self-serve channel. MeguMethod is privately held by three co-founders (Vratislav Zima, Miroslav Voda, Daniel Rutkovský), operates with ~30 employees under a holacratic structure adopted in 2021, and runs community initiatives including AppParade, mDevCamp, and ASWA. Its AI tooling is currently used for internal productivity (Claude-assisted test generation, Figma-to-test pipeline) and embedded in one client product (Vision AI photo verification in ISIC), with no proprietary models or research disclosed.
