About SoftG

Built by engineers
who still ship the code.

SoftG is a small, senior software studio with offices in Cyprus and Canada. We design, build and migrate business systems end-to-end — Odoo ERP, AI, web and mobile — for teams that refuse to compromise on craft. Ten years in, the engineer on your first call is still the one shipping your code.

Our story

Started in 2015. Still doing the work.

No funding round. No pivots. Just a decade of shipping real systems for real businesses.

SoftG was founded in 2015 as a counter-position to the typical software agency: instead of subcontracting work and selling promises, we kept the team small and the engineers senior.

Over the next ten years we built ERP platforms, AI assistants, marine simulation systems, retail e-commerce stacks, and internal tooling for clients across Cyprus, Canada and beyond. The engineer on your first call is still the one who writes the code. No offshore handoff. No account managers. No PMs reading from a script.

Today we work as an Odoo Gold Partner and as a custom software studio — usually both at once. We pick problems where the gap between what's possible and what's shipped is the largest.

2015

SoftG founded

Nicosia, Cyprus. First clients: local SMBs migrating from spreadsheets to proper ERP.

2018

Odoo partner program

Joined the official Odoo partner network. Custom-module practice formalized.

2020

Research practice opened

Marine pollutant simulation platform built with environmental scientists.

2022

Canada office

Ontario office opens. Follow-the-sun coverage across two time zones.

2024

Gold Partner status

Promoted to Odoo Gold tier — the top certification.

2025

ReefSim public release

Cloud simulation platform goes live. ComputerG.shop ships on Odoo 18.

What we believe

Three things we don't compromise on.

Operating principles, not marketing. We say no to a lot of work because of them.

01 / OWNERSHIP

Engineers own the outcome, not just the deliverable.

Our engineers stay on a project from kickoff through go-live and beyond. We don't disappear after launch — the team that built it is the team that maintains it for as long as you need.

02 / SCOPE

Right-sized teams. No bloat, no hand-offs.

Most projects need 2–4 senior people, not 12. Smaller teams move faster, communicate better, and don't need a project manager to translate between groups.

03 / DURABILITY

Built to last past the launch party.

We optimize for code that's still maintainable in three years — not for the fastest possible time to launch. Boring choices, documented decisions, and one less headache for whoever inherits the codebase.

The team

People who'll be on your first call.

A small, senior bench. The people you meet in week one are the people writing your code in week ten.

Where we work

Two offices. One playbook.

Same standards, same people-first model — just on two continents.

How we work

What an engagement actually looks like.

Most engagements follow this rhythm. Each step is owned by a senior engineer, not handed off.

01

Scoping call — 30 minutes, no slides

You talk to an engineer, not a salesperson. We figure out fit, scope, and whether we're the right team. If we're not, we'll tell you and recommend someone better.

02

Written proposal — within 48 hours

Concrete scope, milestones, price band, and a list of things we'd push back on. No "from $X" pricing. No surprise change-orders later.

03

Sprint kickoff — week one, on the codebase

We commit directly to your repo from day one. You get a working build before week two, even if it's rough. Show, don't tell.

04

Weekly demo — not a status report

Every Friday, a working build with what shipped that week. No 40-slide decks. Decisions are made in 20 minutes; we go back to building.

05

Go-live — then we stay

The team that built it is the team that maintains it. We're still answering email three years after launch — ask any of our oldest clients.

Want to talk to one of us?

The scoping call is free. The engineer who picks up will be the one who builds it.
