E-SAINATechnology IdeaHow we work
Outsourcing should not mean losing control.
This page describes how an engagement runs on our side. It exists so you know what you are committing to before the first call, not after the first quote.
How an engagement runs
Understand
We start by understanding your need and your organisation.
Scope
Scope, features, constraints and responsibilities are defined before production starts.
Estimate
You receive a detailed quote within three working days.
Develop
The work follows the framework agreed with your agency.
Check
Tests, fixes and sign-off before delivery.
Deliver
Code and deliverables are handed over according to your organisation and procedures.
Evolve
The collaboration can continue with maintenance and new features.
White label, no ambiguity
You keep the client relationship. We never appear in front of your client.
Not in a meeting, not in an email signature, not in a commit, not in a footer credit. The work ships under your name and belongs to you.
We do not approach your clients, during the engagement or after. That is in the contract, not only on this page.
One week, two deliverables, one report
Every week you receive two working deliverables and a written report.
The report is written to be forwarded as-is to your own client. No internal jargon, no mention of us, nothing you have to rewrite before sending it.
That is deliberate. A subcontractor who hands you code and leaves you to write the report is handing you unbillable work. We take it on: it is the part of the engagement your clients actually see.
The lead times we commit to
- Same-day acknowledgement for any request received before 3 pm Paris time.
- Detailed quote within three working days.
We publish no others. A delivery date depends on scope: it is set in the quote, not on a website page.
Time difference, depending on your country
For France, Belgium and Switzerland, Antsirabe is one to two hours ahead depending on the season. Our working days almost entirely overlap: a question asked in the morning is answered the same morning.
For Quebec, Antsirabe is seven to eight hours ahead. A request sent at the end of the day in Montreal is handled during your night, and the answer is waiting for you when you wake up.
A single point of contact, no intermediary. You write your tickets in French, they are read in French.
The capacity we publish
Twenty-two days a month, reviewed each quarter.
We publish it because a subcontractor who accepts everything is a subcontractor who delivers late. If your need exceeds that capacity we tell you at the quote stage, not in the third month.
Confidentiality, including yours
We publish no business data about you or your client without written authorisation. A confidentiality agreement is signed before any access to code or data.
This site applies that rule to itself. The figures we display are our own — performance, architecture, test coverage — never someone else's revenue. An agency that puts its clients on display would put you on display too.
Are we the right partner
You can call on us when
- your team is temporarily overloaded;
- you have won a project that needs more developers;
- you need a specific technical skill;
- you want to avoid an immediate hire;
- you need a long-term technical partner.
Where we are useful
- Evolving an application already in production, section by section rather than in one go.
- Reinforcing an existing team on a defined scope.
- Laravel or Symfony 7, with Vue 3 through Inertia or Nuxt. NestJS when the API is in TypeScript. We take on your stack rather than impose ours.
What we ask of you
- A technical counterpart on your side. We do not replace your technical lead.
- A written scope, however short. We draft it with you if needed.
- Access to the repository and to a staging environment.
How it starts
You describe your need. We acknowledge it the same day, we ask our technical questions, and you receive a detailed quote within three working days.
