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, and QA, with code delivery as one part of it.

Q: How do you work with our existing team?

We integrate. Same tools, same standups, same sprint cadence. Our engineers adapt to your workflows. When you're ready to bring it in-house, we transfer everything: people, processes, and 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.

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 help hi-tech companies and startups reach the market first and be ready to scale when the users arrive. We build their products from MVP to category leader. Products used by 1.7 billion people. Products that got acquired. Products that launched #1.

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, and the story ended in a $900M acquisition. If your advantage depends on speed, we help you get to market while your window is still open.

[ 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, so your product keeps pace with your growth.

[ 03 ]

You need a team that owns the whole product

Moovit hired Globalbit to build and lead its entire mobile product, and we ran their mobile team for years. You get a team that owns product thinking, architecture, engineering, and QA, and hands the product over when you're ready.

[ 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. We give your hardware the software layer around it: a consumer app, a dashboard for your business customers, and a platform they can brand as their own.

How we work with hi-tech companies

It starts with a free discovery session. We review your goals and technical challenges and scope the product, so you know the timeline before we start. Then we build the MVP, typically in 3-6 weeks, with a scope designed to learn from real users and an architecture designed to grow.

After launch, you decide how we continue. We can keep improving the product and preparing it for scale, or join your team in your tools, standups, and sprint cadence. When you're ready to bring it in-house, we hand over the people, processes, and knowledge, as we did for Moovit and IBI Smart.

How we help hi-tech companies and startups

From the first MVP to billion-user scale: products that reach the market fast and keep working as your user base grows.

MVP and product launch

An MVP you can validate with real users in the market, with a scope designed to learn and an architecture designed to grow. Shiri's music streaming platform launched as #1 in both app stores.

Mobile product development

Apps that feel fast and natural on every platform: consumer-grade UX, performance optimization, and native iOS and Android, or cross-platform when it fits. We've built apps used by 1.7 billion people.

IoT and connected platforms

One platform that connects your hardware, the cloud, and your customers: white-label architecture, multi-tenant B2B2C, and real-time telemetry processing. The platform we built for Arad Technologies serves millions of connected homes in 60+ countries.

AI and intelligent products

AI where it creates measurable value in your product: recommendation engines, intelligent automation, predictive models, and GenAI integration. In Shiri, AI recommends the next song. In Moovit, crowd intelligence works in real time.

Product team augmentation and leadership

A full product team that works as your own, ships the product, and hands it over when you've built internal capacity. We built IBI Smart's product team and transferred it after 2 years, and did the same with Moovit's mobile team.

Scale engineering

Architecture designed for scale from day one, so your product survives its own success. Moovit processes real-time transit data from millions of users across 112 countries.

Products we've built for hi-tech companies

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, with 1.7 billion users in 3,500+ 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 and keep technical debt under control.

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 work inside yours, with the same tools and the same standups.

[ Why Us ]

Why hi-tech companies choose us

Products that led their category, and the experience that comes with them.

[ 01 ]

A team that took a product from MVP to acquisition

Our team built Moovit's first versions and led its mobile product for years. You work with the people who made those decisions.

[ 02 ]

Experience launching #1 products

Shiri launched as #1 in both app stores. IBI Smart became Israel's top trading app. You work with a team that knows how to launch a category leader.

[ 03 ]

A product you can take in-house

When you're ready, we hand over everything: people, processes, and methodology. We did it for Moovit and IBI. You end up independent, running the product on your own.

[ 04 ]

Scale planned from the first sprint

Over 200 million people use products we've built, including Moovit, Pfizer, IBI, Espresso Club, and Shiri. We know what happens to code at scale, so your product is built for it from the first sprint.

Why Clients Choose and Stay with Globalbit

We hired Globalbit to support our development, and we made a long way since. They always provided us with the necessary assistance in a professional, reliable and thoughtful manner. Working with subcontractors requires a lot of trust and responsibility – with Globalbit we had a great experience of cooperation with highly professional and dedicated people.

Nir Erez
