We transform complex business processes into elegant, usable software for your employees and teams.
Shrink the gap between your growing business demands and the capabilities of your current systems.
It’s a familiar story. Your company is growing and that third-party system is not cutting it anymore. On top of that, those SaaS bills are not getting any smaller. Most importantly, your valuation is being limited by your lack of IP. We know your pain points, and we’re here to help.

The Smyth Group’s people are far beyond the average team. When we have a difficult problem, we bring them on board because they have high-quality resources. The products we’ve created with them have increased our top-line revenue or lowered our costs, making us more profitable. It’s a successful relationship.

You don’t need more software—you need better software.
You don’t need more software—you need better software.
We’re software minimalists.
You don’t need more software, you need better software. You need just the right amount of software to meet your business needs. Thus, it’s critical to make sure that you have the right system capabilities.
That’s where we come in. We can help you figure out what’s needed to shrink the gap between your growing business needs and your system’s current capabilities—whether that’s a custom solution or something else. The right system is always what’s most effective, even if it’s simple.

We focus on longevity.
Our solutions are not short-sighted. Making custom software is a significant investment, so we take time on strategy and research to design a system that will last. We build the right thing, and then we take specific measures (such as automated testing, CI/CD pipeline, DevOps culture, and monitoring) to make sure that your enterprise system is ready for change for years to come.
We’re USA-based.
There are talented, experienced people around the world. However, creating a complex business system is an exercise in regular and nuanced communication. Intimate conversations with a person that lives in your relative timezone is needed to produce a strategic system that will be a pleasure to use. To that end, 98% of our employees are American citizens living in the United States.
We persist.
Making large enterprise systems is not easy: It takes months or even years. There will be challenging moments along the way. And in these times, we don’t run. Instead, we thrive on complex software projects. We double down on collaboration, communication, and flexibility until a successful system is in the hands of your employees and customers.
