What a software house actually delivers
A software house owns the whole life of a product, not hours on a timesheet. Square takes an idea or a business problem through discovery, UX and architecture, then builds, ships and maintains it. You talk to the engineers and designers doing the work, not to account managers.
Why a software house in Tirana, Albania
Tirana shares the Central European working day with Rome, Milan, Paris and Berlin, and Italian is widely spoken, so requirements and reviews happen in your language. Albania is an EU candidate aligning with the acquis, and rates of EUR 35-55 per hour usually sit 30-60% below comparable Western European software houses.
- Same working hours as Rome and Milan
- A team fluent in English and Italian
- A short flight from Italy for on-site work
Our stack and how we engage
We standardise on a modern stack that is easy to hire for, so products stay maintainable after launch. You can work with us as a dedicated team, as a fixed-price project when scope is defined, or through staff augmentation.
- Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript
- Backend: Node.js, typed APIs, PostgreSQL, cloud and CI/CD
- Mobile: React Native and Flutter from a shared codebase
Proof: the SunEasy platform
SunEasy is a sunbed and beach booking platform we built and run on the Albanian Riviera: real-time availability, cashless in-app payments and an interface in English, Italian and Albanian, under real seasonal load. It is a shipped product, not a portfolio of screenshots.
How a project runs with Square
The written estimate is free, and it fixes scope, milestones and price before any contract. Delivery runs in short iterations with demos in your CET working hours, with clear reporting on progress and spend. At handover you get clean code, documentation and deployment, owned by you.
How we work with Italian companies
We sign in English or Italian, structure proposals around your milestones and acceptance criteria, and bill in euros with your PO and CIG/CUP references, so your studio commercialista can process the fattura elettronica. Your accountant stays in charge of how the invoice is treated.
Data and ways of working for EU clients
We build with EU data practice in mind: minimal personal data, separate environments, no secrets in code, least-privilege access. We sign a DPA, and your DPO stays the authority on compliance. Code, repositories and infrastructure are yours from day one.
