    Solwey was awarded as one of Top Software Developers and Top Software Designers in 2021 and 2022 by Clutch in 3 major markets (CA, TX, DC). Solwey was named in TechCrunch’s survey as one of the best software consultants for startups. Since the beginning of 2021, Solwey has developed the websites and mobile applications of more than 30 organizations. 

    Solwey designed and developed from the ground-up a reliable and completely customized third-party logistics platform for expedited delivery of perishable items to tackle the ever-growing supply chain’s issues and growing last-mile delivery crisis. With its website and mobile application first launched in 2021 and continuously improved ever since, the system allows management and optimization of all steps of the delivery process. 

    Solwey helped launch an innovative AI platform that enables data scientists to work on sensitive data (like insurance claims and banking transactions) with an unprecedented level of detail while strongly protecting privacy and reducing data management costs. Instead of copying large amounts of sensitive data and compromising its security and privacy, only the insight and intelligence extracted out of the data is transmitted over the limited bandwidth of remote networks at higher speeds. Most recently, Solwey finished the mobile application for NASA “Spot the Station” that will be the officially recommended tool to stargaze and observe movement of the International Space Station using Augmented Reality (AR) and map visualizations.
