Why We Started MG Software
From developers who saw businesses struggle with bad software to a development agency that builds what you actually need. Our story.

Introduction
Before MG Software existed, we were developers working for different companies. We built software for large enterprises with massive budgets. But we noticed something that kept bothering us.
Small and medium businesses were stuck. They could not afford the agencies that charge six figures for a project. They ended up with either no software at all, or a cheap solution that created more problems than it solved.
The Problem We Saw Every Day
A logistics company tracking everything in Excel. A marketing agency billing clients from memory. A construction firm losing projects because quotes took too long.
These were ordinary businesses run by smart people who knew exactly what they needed. They just could not find anyone to build it at a reasonable price.
Building What Businesses Actually Need
We started MG Software with a simple idea: build high-quality software for businesses at honest prices. No fluff, no unnecessary features, no buzzword-driven development.
We are developers who talk to business owners, not sales people who outsource the work. When you work with us, you work directly with the people writing the code.
What Makes Us Different
We use the latest technology, including TypeScript and modern frameworks, to work efficiently, which keeps our prices fair. AI tools help us write code faster. Modern frameworks let us build robust applications without reinventing the wheel.
We do not disappear for three months and then deliver something you did not ask for. We show progress weekly. You give feedback. We adjust.
Who We Help
Our clients are typically small to medium businesses with 5-100 employees. They are successful in what they do but held back by manual processes or tools that do not fit. See our features page for what we can build, or try the project calculator for a quick cost estimate.
What they all have in common: they needed something that off-the-shelf tools could not provide, and they found a partner in us.
Conclusion
MG Software exists because we believe every business deserves software that works. Not just the ones with enterprise budgets. One example of what we build: Refront, our own AI-powered workflow platform.
If you feel held back by your current tools, we would love to have a conversation. No commitment, no sales pitch.
