This is Skalfa

SkaDate is the first and the biggest Skalfa’s effort. Our flagship commercial product quickly wins market share and customers’ hearts.

We develop a lot of SkaDate-based custom projects for customers. Online dating industry experiences a boom, and we help entrepreneurs to take advantage of the new phenomenon.

During the period of several years, Skalfa grows from 6 students/graduates into a team of 25 permanent professionals. We found this to be our sweet spot in size which is maintained for years to come.

We release our first mobile apps and start successfully developing custom mobile projects for customers.

Oxwall, a free open source social platform is launched after 2 years of development. Instantly makes a splash in the social networking platform space.

Custom Oxwall development is in big demand. The flexibility of this open-source platform allows Oxwall to be used for a variety of projects, far beyond the original scope.

Skalfa releases Wall.fm — a SaaS solution for Oxwall. This project operates for several years.

We get to know high-load systems and it helps us develop scaling approaches that we successfully use for the most demanding of our customer projects.

Oxwall is named People’s Choice in the Critic’s Choice CMS Awards as The Best Social Networking Solution.

Our presence in Europe is established.

Due to popular demand, we start developing projects based on various open source frameworks, not only Oxwall and SkaDate. The Agile methodology is now at the heart of everything we do. Automated testing and continuous integration become necessary parts of our process.

Demand in Skalfa’s expertise and services explodes.

As the scale and importance of customer projects grow, we transition to the project manager model. Instead of the traditional “conveyor” support flow, customers are assigned their own project managers, who always stay on top of their projects and lead them within our company from start to finish.

We are opening our branch in Tbilisi, Georgia.

Our Tbilisi branch is being populated with local talent!

We have started several projects for startups exhibiting at Mobile World Congress (Barcelona) and The Next Web (Amsterdam). This is marking the beginning of our wider startup collaboration strategy.
