We Develop Software Products
Control F5 creates end-to-end software products and provides software outsourcing services.
Depending on your needs we can create a full digital product based on your specifications or we can offer specific software development services in case you want to outsource only a part of the implementation effort.
If you are not a fan of long presentations, here are the main keywords that best describe our services: Web Applications, Saas, Mobile Application, Website, Ecommerce Solutions.
As speficic development services, we offer Backend Development, Frontend Development, Mobile Development, Software Testing, DevOps, UI/UX Design, Business Analysis and Project Management.
Check out the technologies we use and our FAQ section.
For 10 years we have been focusing on dedicated solutions for projects. We design and implement software products on time and that work exactly as they should.
It can be a Web Application, a Saas, Mobile Application, Ecommerce Solution, Website or any other Custom Application to solve your pains and challenges.
We split the development of a full software product into three separate services that can be delivered separately depending on your product stage, or can be delivered one after another as they are three steps that need to be followed in order to develop a new digital product or new functionalities for existing products.
Web Application
Any application that runs on a web server and is accessed via a web browser is called a web application. We are specialised in developing any kind of web applications in different domains, as web technologies are our main area of expertise.
SaaS
Software as a Service (SaaS) products are in most of the cases web applications licensed and delivered on a subscription basis. Many of our delivered products are built on this model, as in it became a common delivery model for many business applications.
Mobile Application
As mobile devices are a constant presence in any user life, mobile applications are a very popular software product with a large spectrum of utility. We develop both native applications for iOS and Android and also using cross-platforms in order to make it more efficient in terms of delivery time and complexity.
Website
Websites need no introduction and our large experience with web technologies includes website development. When developing a website we focus on responsive design, usability, performance and technical SEO (Search Engine Optimization). We adopt the best practices in the field and constantly stay in touch with the latest technologies in website development.
Ecommerce Solution
Even if ecommerce is a complex domain, on the market are many ready to use solutions. We developed many ecommerce products but we like projects with challenging needs where a custom implementation can make the difference.
Plan
Business Analysis, Technology Stack and Strategy
This is basically the planning part from the beginning of every project. It is the step where we understand the product requirements, we understand the pains that your product needs to solve and collect information about requirements.
Your product can be just a Proof of Concept (POC) or a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in order for you to test and validate your idea on the market or for potential investors.
Or, it can be an end to end solution, a complete product.
Based on the product type we choose the proper technologies to build it on.
At the end of this phase you will get a deliverable containing the requirements and the recommended technology stack. It also may include the database structure, infrastructure architecture and other mockups to describe the product that needs to be built in terms of technical aspects. It also includes detailed estimations of effort for each technology used, in order to have a clear vision about the time and costs.
It is the equivalent of an architecture plan when building a house.
You can use this document to work with us in the next steps, or you can use it as a bench document for future actions.
Implement
Product Development
This is the part where we write code to implement your product based on the features and the documents resulted in the previous step.
For this purpose we build a dedicated software development team formed out of developers skilled in technologies needed. Depending on the needs of each project we can include in the team other various roles such as testers, UI/UX experts, DevOps engineers.
We work Agile, so the team in charge of developing your product will be organised by a Scrum Master and most of all, your product development backlog will be managed by a Product Owner.
We work in 2 weeks sprints and deliver small increments of your product in order for you to validate and test features.
Maintain
Adjust, add new features and offer support
Your product is now alive and kicking. You want to adjust some features or add new ones. Or maybe you want support on using specific modules of your product.
Even if your product has been built by us or by another team, we can offer you this service on a long term.
Client profile
When is this service suitable for you?
You have a clear understanding of what your product should do and you need a partner to fully implement it.
You need to find talents and know-how and put them together in order to build your product.
You do not intend to build and manage your own development team and you prefer a collaboration where your input is the product requirements.
Building a software product is a mix of different specific services.
As a company who creates its own product, you may choose to create some of the components in-house. For example maybe you want to create the interface (UI) and define the user experience (UX) with your designer. Or maybe you want to fully own the QA process, or the infrastructure (DevOps). Or, you just want to own the project backlog (and we strongly recommend that), so in other words, the Product Owner will be an internal resource of yours.
But for the rest of the services needed you want to outsource, you want a partner to develop for you specific components.
We specialize in software development services needed on the entire lifecycle of the development process.
Being an experienced company specialized in software development we are also a one stop shop for different development talents and services.
Software Services
Backend Development
It is about writing code that runs on the server side of your application. It can be an API development or integration or any other backend logic. We primarily use PHP as the backend programming language and Laravel as the main choice of framework. We are also open to work with other programming languages like NodeJs or Python!
Frontend Development
Stands for developing the part that the user interacts with. It is about coding user interfaces, styling and writing logic that runs on client side, usually a browser. As technologies used, HTML, CSS and Javascript are an inseparable trio. We use VueJS as the main choice of frontend reactive framework, but we are flexible in working with React or Angular.
Mobile Development
We work both ways, native development or using cross-platforms to develop mobile applications because there is not one correct way. The right choice depends on the project type and requirements. We are experienced with the Swift for iOS and with Java or Kotlin for Android. As cross-platform framework we mainly use Flutter, but we are flexible in using other technologies too.
Software Testing
Quality Assurance (QA) is a vital component in developing any software product. Testing can be done directly on the application and can be manual or automated. There is also code testing known as unit testing or feature testing, which is done by developers who will write code responsible to test an initial part of code or feature. We do both types of testing and for that we use different tools and libraries.
DevOps
DevOps or Development Operations is a set of practices and tools that help delivering products faster by facilitating an integration of the development and operations functions. We offer DevOps services in order to improve speed, agility and quality of software development process.
UI / UX Design
Our UI / UX services consist in user research, creating scenarios and flows, drawing wireframes and mockups and in the end creating the high fidelity design that will be brought up to life by the frontend developers.
Business Analysis
We collect and document requirements and specifications, as this is one of the most important steps in the beginning of every project. In other words our business analysts can translate your vision into a software development specific language.
Project Management
For a team to work properly and in an efficient way it needs to be aligned to certain workflows and procedures. We work Agile, both Scrum or Kanban and we can contribute to ensure a solid collaboration and operational transparency in your product development.
Technologies
PHP Custom Development
Got an idea? Thinking of a digital product? Most likely PHP will be a part of the flexible solution that will allow you to bring your idea to life. Because PHP is a powerful tool in the hands of a pro and it is also great for Content Management Systems, CRM and ERP solutions, eCommerce platforms, APIs, websites of any size – and for many more interesting things. With PHP a myriad of diverse opportunities are at your fingertips!
Laravel Web Development
Want to build an MVP? Fast and secure? Laravel, one of the most popular PHP frameworks, facilitates web app backend and frontend software development, using simple and elegant syntax patterns. It increases overall security of applications and it also allows developers to create applications faster and more secure. Web Development in Laravel is a service that we provide in the Agile outsourcing dedicated team model, but we also develop large web applications from scratch.
Vue.js Development
Do you need something light and unintrusive? Vue.js is the famous JavaScript framework that currently took the world of frontend development by storm. Vue.js is perfect for delivering projects as quickly and as smoothly as possible. Regardless if we are talking about a pure SPA or a backend, it is great to use tools that facilitate the job. Vue.js has a great community of developers and an even greater number of libraries available.
Wordpress Custom Development
In need of a web comprehensive system? Popular but also highly customizable? Then WordPress could be the CMS you are looking for. WordPress is a popular and available CMS (content management system) for creating presentation websites. It is the most common platform (currently, 30.7% of the websites in the world are based on WordPress) built with components, which define the appearance of pages, the properties and also the configuration items.
MySQL Feature Development
Do you need a multiple-platform database solution for an app? MySQL is the answer. MySQL is an open source software product, originally established independently. It is a RDMS (Relational Database Management System) that uses its own version of SQL. As it is freely available, users have traditionally challenged MySQL’s ability to compete with various commercial alternatives. However, over time MySQL has proven to be a highly stable product.

Client profile
When is this service suitable for you?
If you develop some components of your product in-house but you want to scale or speed up the process by outsourcing the other components.
There are many reasons and scenarios where this is a good choice:
Why us?
We build software and efficient teams
We are great at building software but if there is one thing that we are greater at, it would be creating strong and efficient teams. We are always guided by our core values and selecting people to join our family is also the first filter we apply, before any technical skill needed.
Having a great team is not enough. Teams should follow a mix of procedures, best practices, standards, frameworks and should adhere to the same values.
Before building software we build teams with people, teams who guide after strong and tested procedures and workflows.
So, the better the people and the know-how, the better the results will be.
