Chicago runs on logistics, manufacturing and fintech, and the software behind those industries has to be reliable, not just fast to build. Smerdoff works remotely with Chicago startups and enterprises on custom software, web apps, mobile apps and AI integrations, without the overhead of a large local agency.

internal dashboards and customer-facing apps with compliance in mind

first releases for founders validating a new product
Many Chicago companies already work with distributed teams for engineering. The value is a smaller, focused team with direct access to the people writing the code.
Chicago businesses often need software that plugs into existing operational or financial systems from day one, not as an afterthought.
We build crawlable service content, structured data, internal links and FAQ sections so search systems and AI assistants can understand the business clearly.
Smerdoff is a good fit when you need an experienced compact team for a practical first release and can work remotely with a Chicago-based business.
A remote team keeps overhead lower while still giving you direct access to the engineers building the product, with the same milestone-based process a local agency would offer.
Yes. We have built dispatch, tracking and inventory-facing tools for logistics and operations teams, including integrations with existing systems.
Most Chicago engagements start around $1,500 for a focused first release. The final number depends on scope, integrations and platform.
We can usually start discovery within a few days of an initial call, and begin development once scope and milestones are agreed.
Share the product idea, target users, timeline, integrations and first release expectations. We will suggest a practical next step.
