WHO WE ARE

We are a rather non-conventional, quite progressive, and pretty cool (even if we say so ourselves) software house with HQ in Košice, Slovakia.

We specialize in custom software development of mobile, web and desktop apps, system integration and automation, a long-term-partnership form of outsourcing and the development of startups. Our services cover the entire software development lifecycle, including support and maintenance.

HOTOVO is led by a team of specialists with 15+ years of experience. Established in 2010, we’ve since grown from zero to 150+ people – without any foreign capital or investment, and without any state support and subsidies… which means there’s no-one out there dictating what we can and can’t do 😊. 

We work with top-notch companies across the globe which enables us to attract the best talent (and the coolest people 😎) in town. We’re a proven long-term partner of global industry leaders like MuleSoft, Protecht, Oracle, RedHat, Seismic, Salesforce and Atlassian, as well as numerous creative young startups.

Our primary markets are the USA, UK and Australia. However, we have clients in many countries across the world, and have plans to develop into a truly global business. Our HQ is in Košice, but we also have other branches in the UK (with offices in London and Southampton), Argentina (Buenos Aires), Serbia (Novi Sad) and Tunisia (Tunis) – so we can cover different time zones and be even closer to our clients.

We love what we do, and we love the team we’ve created to do it with.

Developing software solutions (and helping our clients succeed!) is a joy and an art all in one, and that is how we approach it.
