Building Great Software is What We Do
Sparq provides domestic software development outsourcing, specializing in multidisciplinary agile teams to build, deploy and support mission critical software.
We are experts at designing and engineering critical business applications and digital experiences. Our digital engineering services offer full or shared accountability, Agile and DevOps methodologies, application modernization, cloud migration and system integration.
Scrum-as-a-Service is a unique engagement framework for Agile software development that helps clients develop mission critical software with speed, flexibility, and efficiency. Our approach provides rapid and flexible deployment of multidisciplinary Agile teams via an elastic consumption model with predictable monthly pricing.
Our reliable and efficient domestic delivery model allows us to provide superior manual and automated testing services, including regression testing, unit testing, system integration testing, load testing, mobile testing, and A/B testing. Our consultants are experienced professionals who are capable of solving problems, not simply reporting them.
We provide data management services with data cleansing and validation, data migration and ETL monitoring, master data management, and data integration. We also develop custom analytic and reporting solutions as well as dynamic and intuitive dashboards for real-time decision-making.
We help you improve velocity, increase productivity and deliver a better product to your users. Here’s how:
Throughout the entire software development process, our project teams utilize Agile development to insure both quality and speed-to-market. Our Scrum Masters and Agile practitioners are all familiar with the many nuances of Agile (Kanban, Scrum, Lean Agile, Scaled Agile, etc.)
With remote development centers exclusively located throughout the United States, we leverage untapped, highly skilled technology talent in tier two and three cities to provide world-class solutions to our Clients. Our unique model eliminates the obstacles of time zones, distance, language and geopolitical risk.
We have the scale for mature delivery processes and infrastructure, while still staying proactive and responsive to each client. We’re not afraid to appropriate push back, and won’t just tell you what you want to hear.
We follow a team-based approach that goes beyond the general expertise of Scrum masters, developers, and designers. Varying demands often require the know-how of highly specialized experts. Whether it’s high-powered UI/UX, data, cloud, AppSec, QA or DevOps, you’ll get the ideal team to drive innovation and speed to market.
The accelerating growth of a leading national consumer lender specializing in the home-improvement industry meant they needed to modernize their processes, while enhancing the user experience for both their borrower and dealer network users.
We developed multiple applications to provide a better experience for their users and resolve many of the compliance challenges they were experiencing. One consumer application gave customers more visibility into their loan, leading to improved customer service scores on sites like Better Business Bureau (BBB). It also saved our client over $3,000,000 annually in postage fees.
This healthcare technology and services organization offering solutions for healthcare billing and payments, landed a deal to integrate a New York City-based health insurance provider’s platform into their proprietary billing software. We came in to help with the integration and a successful MVP, while helping to expand their core offering to include out of network functionality.
After completing the integration of the health insurance platform, they experienced an increase in sales and the build-out of network capabilities has increased their potential customer base exponentially.

Our client, a global logistics company, needed to introduce a cloud-based customer-facing application to allow customers to view their scheduled trailer requests and submit ad hoc requests in the event of volume spikes. Speed-to-market was essential as none of their competitors had a similar application, so they wanted to be the first to market with it.
- First to market with an application of this type
- Gained an edge over competitors as well as a unified and corporate branded customer experience
Flexera was looking to quickly and effectively integrate a newly acquired product into the Flexera suite of products. Our team made it happen.
A leading international rental car company recognized that its manual process and paper contracts were resulting in wait times of 20 minutes, rising data entry errors, and declining customer satisfaction scores. We helped design and develop a fast and lightweight application that used the minimal data needed to reduce network traffic to reduce page and data load times. The application was deployed on tablets, mobile devices and desktops and incorporated a paperless contract for better user experience.
