Ateliware is a software engineering partner with its European base in Antwerp, Belgium, working with startups, scale-ups, and enterprises across Europe, Latin America, and the United States. Our engineers bring senior engineering judgment with AI already built into how they deliver, knowing what to automate, what to question, and when a shortcut becomes a liability down the line. We build custom software and AI solutions around the problem, not the hype, with close, synchronous collaboration across time zones. To the technical readers: we are fully committed to the Spec-Driven Development paradigm using Open Spec and Claude Code to archive leading edge development performance.
Our teams have helped Prismos build a complex real-time media analysis platform and Timeseer.AI build and scale its data reliability platform. We have also worked with Enersee across Discovery, backend scalability, interfaces, and complex integrations, and with Lucy on the development of its e-invoicing platform.
In Brazil, from our Curitiba headquarters, we implement and migrate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (including AX 2012 upgrades and Brazilian tax localization), modernize legacy systems without stopping operations, build MVPs for startups and apply AI where the return is measurable. We serve manufacturing, agribusiness, logistics, insurance and financial.
Founded in 2011, Ateliware has also built companies of its own. We co-founded Pipefy, a global process management platform; and bootstrapped Trio, a high-volume payments platform and payment institution regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil, born inside Ateliware. That builder experience shapes the judgment we bring to every engagement: what to build, what not to build, and how to protect the business behind the code.
We also work inside our clients’ engineering and design teams, bringing that same judgment, technical depth, and AI-assisted delivery to turn business priorities into working software beyond the backlog.
Ateliware offers competitive pricing, particularly appealing to startups seeking quality development. Clients report project costs around $50,000, emphasizing affordability and value for cost. The company is noted for delivering high-quality results while maintaining budget efficiency.
