About Softeq

Softeq was founded by Christopher Howard in 1997 in Houston, Texas, making it one of the oldest companies in the custom software space. With headquarters in Houston and development centers in Vilnius, Munich, Monterrey, and London, their team of 500-1500 professionals delivers end-to-end solutions from low-level embedded programming and hardware design to mobile and web applications. They're ISO 13485:2016 certified, crucial for medical device development, and hold partnerships with Amazon, Microsoft, and Xamarin. Their client roster includes Fortune 500 names like Verizon, Epson, Microsoft, Intel, NVIDIA, and Disney. They appeared on Inc. 5000 from 2018-2021.

Why They Stand Out

Rare expertise in hardware, firmware, and embedded systems alongside mobile development. ISO 13485:2016 certification for medical device software. 27+ years of continuous operation with Fortune 500 client base.

Ideal For

Companies building IoT products requiring hardware and software integration. Medical device manufacturers needing ISO-certified development. Organizations seeking embedded systems expertise combined with mobile app delivery.

Potential Drawbacks (Honest Assessment)

Broad service offering may mean less mobile-specific focus than pure-play agencies. Hardware focus could be overkill for simple app projects. Enterprise pricing structure.
