McKinsey reports that about 70% of digital transformation programs fall short of their goals, usually on adoption rather than code.
Mobile devices generate roughly 60 percent of global website traffic, according to Statista's mobile traffic reports.
Salesforce's State of the Connected Customer report finds 80% of customers say a company's experience matters as much as its products.
Atlanta is a headquarters and infrastructure city. The world’s busiest airport, one of the largest rail and trucking hubs in the Southeast, and a corridor of distribution centers along the interstates make it a logistics capital. Industry analysts often describe metro Atlanta as a major payments processing center, with a dense cluster of fintech, transaction processing and banking technology companies. Add large hospital systems, universities, film and media production and a long list of Fortune 500 headquarters, and you have a city that buys enterprise grade custom software.
Tepia serves Atlanta from its Tampa office. Both cities are in Eastern time, the flight is about an hour and a half, and in person kickoffs and training are routine. Tepia has been building custom software for thirteen years, with a model it describes as human intelligence: US based leadership, hand picked engineers, and software designed around how people actually work.
This page covers the full software picture. For consumer and workforce mobile specifically, Tepia’s Atlanta mobile app development page goes deeper.
Tepia uses a six phase process on every engagement: Discovery, Design, Development and Testing, Training, Launch and Support. The Tepia process page describes each in full. For an Atlanta logistics or fintech product, it plays out like this.
A system investigation of what you run today (TMS, WMS, core banking, CRM, ERP), user interviews with operators and customers, and a third party integration review. Deliverables are an Investigation Summary, an Interview Summary and User Stories. Discovery typically takes 1 to 3 months and is shorter when you arrive with specs or designs.
A design questionnaire, moodboards, a style guide, detailed wireframes and sample designs. Tepia designs every screen before engineering starts so estimates hold and security reviewers can see the data flows early.
Alpha and Beta schedules with written test plans for functional, user acceptance and non functional testing, including load, security and audit logging where the product handles payments or PHI. Development and QA typically take 2 to 6 months.
Hands on training in person in Atlanta or remote, built on user story scenarios. Launch includes data migration, transition from the old system and Tepia support reps on rollout, about 1 month.
Tepia is US led with individually sourced global talent. Your project manager, design lead and engineering lead are US based. Engineers are hand picked for your project, named on the roster, and work in hours that overlap with Eastern time. Tepia is not a body shop and does not staff projects from a bench.
Meetings run on a fixed rhythm: a kickoff in Atlanta or over video, a weekly status call in Eastern business hours, and sprint demos of working software. Between calls you have a shared backlog, a written changelog and direct access to your project manager. Abraham Agopian, Founder and CEO, Dustin Gordon, Director of Operations, and Brianna Martison, Director of Engineering, stay involved in scoping and escalation.
For enterprise and fintech buyers, this matters during vendor review. Procurement and security teams want named, accountable people in a US time zone, documented practices, and a partner that will still be there in year three. Tepia clients report about 90% customer retention, which is the clearest evidence Tepia can offer on that last point.
Tepia builds in React, Node.js, .NET, Python and PostgreSQL on AWS, Azure or GCP, with Swift and SwiftUI, Kotlin, React Native or Flutter on mobile.
