Syncra Studio · Software & AI studio · Chișinău, Moldova

Idea to launch.
And after.

We design, build and run web and mobile apps, backends and AI features for founders and growing businesses. One senior-led team owns the whole job — discovery, design, engineering, launch and the support that follows.

01Who we help

Most products stall in the handoffs — designer to developer, agency to freelancer, launch to whoever is left. We take responsibility for all of it, so you deal with one team and one plan.

  1. Founders launching a product

    The situation
    You have the idea, the market and a deadline — but no technical team to take it to production.
    What you get
    Discovery, design and a production web or mobile app, with the backend, payments and store releases it needs to go live.

  2. Teams adding AI to a product

    The situation
    An AI feature that looks good in a demo but has to hold up on your real data and with real users.
    What you get
    Assistants, search and automations wired to your own data — with guardrails, evaluation and monitoring built in.

  3. Businesses that need to be found

    The situation
    A real business whose brand, website and search listings don't reflect how good the work is.
    What you get
    Brand identity, a fast multilingual website, Google Business Profiles and hosting we keep running.

A cold-chain carrier, given a brand and found online.

The challenge

Den Il Cris Frigotrans moves temperature-controlled freight between the EU and the CIS, with offices in Chișinău and Vaslui. It came to us without a brand identity or a website — shippers had nothing to find, check or contact.

What Syncra did

We took it from idea to launch. We created the brand identity and logo, then designed and built a trilingual website around it — an interactive coverage map of the routes, a quote-request form and an FAQ. We set up search visibility (per-language metadata, structured data and Google Business Profiles for both offices) and we host and deploy the site.

Our products

We build our own, too.

Building products of our own keeps us honest about what it takes to ship and run them.

Syncra productIn development

iBeep — reach any driver by their licence plate.

A mobile app for drivers: look up a car by its plate, then message the owner privately — no phone numbers exchanged. Syncra is designing and building it in-house; SYNCRA SRL is named as its operator.

  • Local-first architecture
  • Private 1:1 messaging
  • Owned by Syncra
Syncra productPublic on GitHubIn development

Brigadier — a team of AI coding agents, run from your own machine.

A local-first desktop app for long-running AI coding sessions. You talk to one orchestrator; it plans the work, hands tasks to the Claude Code and Codex agents already on your computer, has each change reviewed by the other vendor and lands it as a clean commit. Its source is public on GitHub.

04Process

How a project runs

Four stages, each with something concrete you can review. You always know what's done, what's next and what it depends on.

Discover

We learn the business before writing code: who the users are, what the product must do first and what “done” means.

You getA written scope, estimate and delivery plan.

Design

Flows, architecture and interface decided together with the engineers who will build them.

You getA clickable prototype and a technical plan.

Build

Short cycles with working software early. You review a running product, not status reports.

You getRegular demos on a live preview link.

Launch & support

We ship to production and the app stores, then stay on for monitoring, fixes and the next iterations.

You getA live product, handover docs and ongoing support.

05Studio

Founder-led, on purpose.

You work directly with the person accountable for the result. No account managers in between, no handoff to a team you haven't met.
