The software house that has been quietly shipping custom products since 2009 - and now turns AI concepts into working software for 400+ clients.
MobiDev builds, scales, and modernizes custom software - with a practice built around AI, computer vision, AR, and IoT - for businesses that would rather borrow deep expertise than try to hire it.
Founded in 2009 by Oleg Lola, MobiDev started in the mobile-first era as a straightforward custom development shop. Fifteen years later it runs a full-cycle engineering operation: web and mobile apps, cloud migration, DevOps, QA, UX/UI design, and a machine-learning group that has shipped more than 65 AI and ML products.
The company is incorporated in the United States and the United Kingdom, with an address in Norcross, Georgia, and research-and-development centers in Eastern Europe. Its clients are small-to-medium businesses and mid-market enterprises across North America and Europe - the kind of organizations that need serious software but do not run large in-house engineering teams.
What sets the work apart is less a single product than a posture. MobiDev treats the customer as part of the delivery team, breaks ambitious AI ideas into small proofs of concept, and reinvests roughly 30% of its workload into R&D so it stays current on technology that changes every quarter.
The result is a services business measured by an unusual metric: how long clients stay. More than half have worked with MobiDev for eight years or more - a retention figure that, in the outsourcing world, functions as a quiet quality signal.
Concept-to-optimization AI: computer vision (OCR, object detection, human pose estimation), deep learning, AI agents and multi-agent systems.
Predictive analytics, demand forecasting and recommendation systems built with Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow and scikit-learn.
Full-cycle iOS, Android and web development delivered through dedicated teams or team augmentation.
AR product development for retail, fitness, sports and marketing experiences.
Industrial and consumer IoT systems - including connected hardware such as BarTrack's draft-beverage monitoring.
Face and voice recognition systems for secure, low-friction identity verification.
“AI is not a mystery or magic. It requires input.”
MobiDev's biggest concentrations of work are in businesses that never called themselves software companies. Bars indicate the relative share of client engagements MobiDev cites by sector (illustrative, based on published client counts).
Computer-vision engineers, ML specialists and AR developers are scarce and expensive. MobiDev supplies them ready-made - 91% of its staff are senior or mid-level.
Many AI efforts die in ambiguity. MobiDev's proof-of-concept method breaks work into small iterations so risk stays contained and budgets stay sane.
Product modernization, cloud migration and software audits give legacy systems a path forward without a risky rewrite.
Reusable expertise lets the team deliver AI-driven MVPs in as little as 10 business days, so ideas get tested before roadmaps get funded.
“The team is something coherent and, first of all, it includes the customer. The client is as valuable as engineers for our success.”
“A big budget isn't a must in order to reap the benefits of AI. The optimal solution is chosen according to the client's capabilities.”
“We break the whole process down into small iterations named 'proofs of concept'... We can manage risks and are ready to develop the needed AI solutions.”
“More and more crucial decisions will be made with the help of AI in 5-10 years.”
MobiDev is a B2B services and consulting business. Revenue comes three ways: fixed project-based custom development, dedicated development teams that operate as an extension of a client, and staff augmentation that plugs individual engineers into existing teams. On top of that sits a growing AI consulting practice. Estimated annual revenue is around $9.7 million.
In the broader market, MobiDev sits between the giant offshore firms - EPAM, SoftServe, N-iX, Intellias - and the freelance marketplaces where many small companies start. It is large enough to field specialized AI and computer-vision talent, but small enough to keep the founder-set culture of treating each client as a partner rather than a ticket.
That positioning explains the customer base: SMBs and mid-market companies that need real engineering depth but cannot justify a large in-house team, particularly in sectors - fitness, hospitality, retail, healthcare - where AI is newly practical and competition for delivery partners is thinner than in pure tech.
The competitive edge MobiDev leans on is continuity. Alternatives can match a rate card; matching a relationship that has run for eight years, with the same engineers who learned the client's domain, is harder to replicate.
