Frequently asked questions
What does Compact Smart Solutions do?
Compact Smart Solutions is a software product development company that helps enterprises with digital transformation. We migrate existing business software to cloud architecture, build software from scratch as part of innovation goals, and provide dedicated engineering teams for companies and startups that have secured funding for a product but lack the software team to execute.
Which industries do you specialize in?
We have 15 years of experience with clients across insurance and automotive retail — including successful partnerships with leading European enterprises — and also serve banking and fintech companies.
What is cloud-oriented (cloud-native) architecture?
Cloud-oriented architecture breaks a traditional multi-feature business application into microservices — each handling one specific business capability, eliminating single points of failure. Services run isolated while exchanging data, scale independently, enable parallel delivery pipelines, and recover from failures automatically.
The result: resilience, flexibility, agility and scalability that monolithic software can't offer. How enterprises benefit →
What is the difference between PaaS and SaaS?
PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides a managed platform on which software is built and run. SaaS (Software as a Service) delivers the complete application to end users over the cloud, typically subscription-based.
We consult on developing PaaS solutions, migrate on-premise software to PaaS, and develop new solutions from scratch following a SaaS model. Software migration →
What is Build Operate Transfer (BOT)?
Build Operate Transfer is an engagement model where we establish your offshore development team (build), run it to proven operational stability (operate), then hand it over to your organization (transfer) — letting you scale engineering capacity with a smooth transition and operational excellence throughout.
Do you work with Scrum or SAFe?
Both. Scrum for small, self-managing, cross-functional teams on new products; the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) to orchestrate large groups of teams through Agile Release Trains. Our teams transition seamlessly between the two, integrate into your existing process, or operate within a process fully managed by us.
Can you take over and modernize an existing legacy system?
Yes. We assess, decompose and migrate legacy on-premise software to cloud architecture without disrupting operations — and our Managed Services can take over the maintenance and optimization of your existing solutions under a clear SLA.
Do you build products for funded startups without a technical team?
Yes — this is a core part of our approach. A dedicated business consultant first validates the product idea's viability, then we take it through the Compact Product Development Life-Cycle from prototype to pilot launch, followed by a hyper-care support period.
Where is Compact Smart Solutions located?
We are based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, in the European Union, with 100+ software engineers, technical support and HR specialists, dynamically forming new teams based on incoming projects. Compact Smart Solutions EOOD is a registered company of the Republic of Bulgaria and the EEA, reg. no. BG206437578.
Serving clients across Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States, the UAE and Hong Kong.
