Slingr

What Slingr does

Slingr Solutions, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Miami, is an AI-native custom software development firm that builds, modernizes, and operates enterprise applications for mid-market and enterprise clients. The company employs 120+ developers across three offices in Miami, Mendoza, and Buenos Aires, and specializes in replacing or modernizing aging systems (VB6, PowerBuilder, COBOL, classic ASP, FoxPro) while wrapping existing enterprise platforms (Salesforce, NetSuite, SAP, HubSpot) with an agentic AI layer. Its proprietary methodology, branded Surround-Substitute-Sunset, enables gradual modernization without rip-and-replace, with clients retaining full source code ownership.

The firm operates a pod-based subscription model: Build Pods ($5,999/month) for single focused applications, Scale Pods ($9,999/month) for multi-system builds, Manage Pods (from $3,499/month) for ongoing stewardship of live applications, and Custom Pods at negotiated enterprise pricing. AI usage is metered separately from base subscriptions. GTM is hybrid: a self-serve AI-powered build plan generator enables quote-free entry for mid-market prospects, while direct enterprise sales handle larger engagements. All client applications are hosted and fully managed by Slingr on Google Cloud (with AWS, Azure, and on-prem alternatives), under SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliance.

Slingr serves operations-heavy verticals including manufacturing, healthcare and diagnostics, life sciences and labs, logistics, insurance, legal, and environmental testing, with dedicated platform-specific playbooks. Named customers include Veritone, ChemQuant Analytical Solutions, Visible Genomics, Transform9, Princeton Brain & Spine, Zenture Partners, and Boardology. The firm has begun productizing beyond custom services with Boardology (enterprise board governance) and Slingr Labs (LIMS for testing laboratories). Leadership is founder-led by CEO Grace Schroeder, with CTO Diego Gaviola and a distributed senior team.

Core offering

Slingr builds AI-native custom enterprise software on a month-to-month pod subscription basis, with full source code and data ownership transferred to clients. It modernizes aging legacy systems (VB6, PowerBuilder, COBOL, classic ASP, FoxPro) through agent-assisted refactoring, and delivers specialized products including Slingr Labs for testing laboratories and Boardology for enterprise board governance. Pricing is transparent ($5,999-$9,999/month) and the company hosts and fully manages applications on Google Cloud with SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliance.

Product overview

Slingr is an AI-native custom software platform that builds enterprise software for mid-market and enterprise companies who want to own what they run on, rather than rent SaaS. The core offering consists of month-to-month Pods (Build, Scale, Manage, Custom) that provide AI-accelerated custom software development at 50-60% of traditional cost and time. The product portfolio includes Slingr Labs for testing laboratories (LIMS, customer portals, ERP), Boardology for enterprise board governance, and specialized solutions for healthcare, legal, insurance, logistics, and manufacturing. The company follows a Surround-Substitute-Sunset approach: surrounding existing systems with AI agents, substituting redundant modules with micro-apps, and eventually retiring legacy licenses while preserving data.

Direct peers

• Geniusee: Custom software development and AI/ML solutions provider serving mid-market and enterprise clients across healthcare, fintech, and other verticals — comparable to Slingr in custom-software pod delivery, AI integration focus, and vertical specialization approach, with overlapping customer profile.
• Thoughtworks: Global technology consultancy that builds custom enterprise software with an emphasis on engineering excellence, modern stack delivery, and AI-augmented development — directly comparable to Slingr's pod-based custom software model and similar mid-market/enterprise customer profile.
• Andela: Marketplace/platform for vetted global engineering talent that sells dedicated developer pods to enterprises, with a recent pivot toward AI-augmented software delivery — directly comparable to Slingr's pod pricing model and AI-acceleration narrative, but with a fundamentally different talent-acquisition model.
• Toptal: Premium freelance engineering and design network that connects enterprises with vetted developers for custom software, AI, and modernization engagements — comparable to Slingr in serving enterprise customers with vetted engineering talent, though Toptal operates as a marketplace rather than a managed-delivery firm.
• BairesDev: Argentina-headquartered (though globally distributed) software outsourcing firm that provides dedicated engineering teams and staff augmentation at near-shore rates — directly comparable to Slingr's nearshoring footprint in Mendoza/Buenos Aires and dedicated-pod delivery model.
• Globant: Latin American-born digital transformation firm delivering custom enterprise software, AI integration, and legacy modernization for Fortune 500 customers — directly comparable to Slingr's vertical enterprise focus, custom software pod model, and AI-native modernization story, but at much larger scale.
• Slalom: US-based consulting firm with a strong custom-build practice delivering AI, data, and modern engineering engagements to mid-market and enterprise clients — closely comparable in customer segment, regional focus, and emphasis on outcome-based custom software delivery.

Broad incumbents

• EPAM Systems: Global digital engineering services firm with strong Eastern European delivery and a growing AI/custom-software practice serving enterprise customers — comparable to Slingr's enterprise custom-software delivery model and AI integration focus, but operating at significantly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Accenture: Global IT services and consulting incumbent with a large custom-build, legacy modernization, and AI integration practice that overlaps with Slingr's target customer and use cases — competes at the enterprise end of Slingr's market but lacks Slingr's transparent pod pricing and SMB/mid-market accessibility.
• Cognizant: Large IT services incumbent with extensive custom software, modernization, and AI offerings across regulated verticals (healthcare, life sciences, financial services) — overlaps with Slingr's vertical and modernization focus but operates as a broad incumbent rather than a pod-based specialist.
