We built Moovit. Intel bought it for $900 million.

Q: Can you take ownership of a product area?

Yes. We ran Moovit's mobile product for years. We built IBI Smart's product team and ran it for 2 years before transferring. We take full ownership — product thinking, architecture, engineering, QA — not just code delivery.

Q: How do you work with our existing team?

We integrate. Same tools, same standups, same sprint cadence. Our engineers embed into your workflows, not the other way around. When you're ready to bring it in-house, we transfer everything — people, processes, knowledge.

Q: How much does product development cost?

MVPs start around $50,000-$100,000. Full product development with ongoing feature work typically runs $20,000-$60,000/month depending on team size. We provide detailed scoping and transparent pricing during discovery.

Q: Can you help us with AI/ML integration?

Yes. We've built recommendation engines (Shiri), real-time crowd intelligence (Moovit), and GenAI-powered automation. We integrate AI where it creates measurable product value — not as a buzzword feature.

Q: What happens after the product launches?

Most of our hi-tech clients keep working with us. Moovit was years of collaboration. Arad Technologies is an ongoing partnership. We provide product iteration, scale engineering, and team augmentation as long as you need us.

We build products for hi-tech companies and startups — from MVP to category leader. Moovit, Arad Technologies, Shiri. Products used by 1.7 billion people. Products that got acquired. Products that launched #1.

USING ARAD'S IOT PLATFORM WE BUILT

The problems hi-tech companies hire us to solve

First-mover deadlines, architecture that won't scale, product teams that don't exist yet, hardware companies that need software. We've been here before.

[ 01 ]

You need to ship before competitors catch up

Moovit had a first-mover window that was closing. We shipped their MVP in 2 months. If your competitive advantage depends on speed, we've been in that position before — with a $900M outcome.

[ 02 ]

Your product needs to scale — and it's not ready

The architecture that got you to 10,000 users won't survive 10 million. We've scaled products from MVP to billion-user platforms. We know when to refactor early and when to ship now and fix later.

[ 03 ]

You need a team that can own the product, not just code

Moovit didn't just hire developers — they hired Globalbit to build and lead the entire mobile product. We ran their mobile team for years. We do product ownership, not just outsourcing.

[ 04 ]

Hardware company that needs a software layer

Arad Technologies made world-class water meters but had zero digital tools for their customers. We built their white-label IoT platform — now deployed in 60+ countries. Hardware to software transformation is something we've done.

From zero to $900 million

When Moovit came to us, there was no transit app playbook. No competitor to copy. No proven UX patterns. We built the first version in 2 months, invented interaction models that every transit app now uses, and ran their mobile team for years. Intel acquired Moovit for $900M in 2020.

When Arad Technologies needed to turn their smart water meters into a digital platform, we built the entire IoT stack — consumer app, utility dashboard, white-label architecture. It now serves millions of homes in 60+ countries. When Shiri launched, it hit #1 in both app stores on day one. We don't just build products — we launch products that win.

What we build for hi-tech companies

From MVP launch to billion-user scale, we build the products that define categories.

MVP and product launch

We built Moovit's MVP in 2 months. Shiri's music streaming platform launched as #1 in both app stores. We ship MVPs that validate in market, not just pass a demo. Architecture designed to grow, scope designed to learn.

Mobile product development

Native iOS and Android, cross-platform when it's right. We ran Moovit's mobile team. We've built apps used by 1.7 billion people. Consumer-grade UX, performance optimization, and platform-specific expertise.

IoT and connected platforms

We built Arad Technologies' IoT platform — hardware-to-cloud-to-consumer. White-label architecture, multi-tenant B2B2C, real-time telemetry processing. Deployed in 60+ countries for millions of connected homes.

AI and intelligent products

Recommendation engines, intelligent automation, predictive models, and GenAI integration. Shiri's AI-driven music recommendations. Moovit's real-time crowd intelligence. We embed AI where it creates measurable product value.

Product team augmentation and leadership

We ran Moovit's mobile team for years, then transferred everything. We built IBI Smart's product team and transferred after 2 years. We become your team, ship the product, and hand it over when you're ready.

Scale engineering

Moovit processes real-time transit data from millions of users across 112 countries. That kind of scale requires architecture designed for it from day one — not bolted on later. We build products that survive success.

Products we've built for hi-tech companies

These aren't mockups — they're live products used by billions of people, acquired for hundreds of millions of dollars, and deployed in dozens of countries.

Moovit: from MVP to $900M Intel acquisition

We built the first Moovit in 2 months. It became the world's #1 transit app — 1.7 billion users in 3,000+ cities. Intel acquired it for $900M.

Arad Technologies: hardware to global IoT platform

We built the white-label IoT platform that turned Arad from a water meter manufacturer into a digital platform leader. 60+ countries, millions of homes.

Shiri: #1 in both app stores on launch day

We built the national music streaming platform — 40,000 Israeli songs, AI-driven recommendations, 600,000 users.

Who we work with

Early-stage, growth-stage, hardware going digital, and companies that need depth. We've worked with all of them.

Early-stage startups

MVP in weeks, product validation built into the architecture, and a team that's shipped products from zero to acquisition. We built Moovit from nothing to $900M. We know how to move fast without building debt you'll regret.

Growth-stage companies

Your product has traction and now needs to scale — technically and organizationally. We augment your team, take ownership of product areas, and hand everything over when you've built internal capacity.

Hardware companies going digital

Arad Technologies needed a software layer for their smart meters. We built the IoT platform that turned them from a hardware company into a global digital platform. White-label, multi-tenant, 60+ countries.

Tech companies needing specialized teams

Mobile engineering, AI/ML, IoT, real-time systems. When you need depth in a specific area, we bring senior teams that integrate with yours — not freelancers managed by email.
