Software house · Platforms · AI
Platforms we build, run and stand behind.
francos.io is our software house. We turn an idea into a product people pay for, with AI where it earns its place: discovery, design, build, launch and the operations after.
Brazil · English and PortugueseA software house, from idea to production.
One team takes the product the whole way, so nothing is lost between the agency that designed it and the shop that built it.

Short answers first, then the detail.
Who is francos.io?
francos.io is the software house of Francos Digital Solutions, in Brazil: one team takes a product from discovery to production and runs it after launch.
Who owns the code?
You do. Code, cloud accounts and data are in your name from the first commit, and the documentation lets any team run, deploy and change the product without us.
What does a live demo every 2 weeks mean?
Every two weeks you see the product working, not slides. We build in short cycles, show what is done, and nothing reaches your customers until the tests pass.
What happens after launch?
We can keep running it: hosting, monitoring, support and a monthly plan of improvements. Every contract has an SLA, and what we run stays online at least 99.9% of the time.
Have you built products like this before?
Yes. We designed and built Central Credit and Faxy for our clients, and both are live with real customers.
Can you add AI to our product?
Yes: assistants, smart search and automatic reading of documents and images, built into the product and measured like any other feature.
