Question 1

Who is Globalbit?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit is an award-winning Israeli IT company with over 15 years of experience delivering digital solutions for enterprises, government agencies, and high-growth startups. Our team of 50+ engineers, designers, QA specialists, and product managers operates from two development centers. We've shipped 150+ projects used by over 200 million people — including Moovit (acquired by Intel for $900M), the Israeli Government Design System, and products for Intel, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson.

Question 2

Where is Globalbit located?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, with a second development center that allows us to scale teams flexibly. We serve clients globally across the US, Europe, and APAC regions. Over 60% of our clients are based outside Israel, so remote-first collaboration — daily standups, shared boards, async Slack — is our default mode, not an exception.

Question 3

What industries does Globalbit serve?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit works across healthcare & pharma, finance & insurance, smart transportation, government & defense, retail & e-commerce, high-tech, entertainment & sports, travel & hospitality, and industry & construction. Our portfolio includes products for brands like Moovit, Intel, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Israel Electric Corporation, and Espresso Club. This cross-industry depth means faster ramp-up and fewer blind spots regardless of your vertical.

Question 4

How large are Globalbit's typical projects?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit handles everything from MVP builds (4–8 weeks) to multi-year enterprise engagements. Typical team sizes range from 3–5 engineers for focused product sprints to 15–20+ for large-scale digital transformations. We've delivered 150+ projects to date. Whether you need a dedicated team for 6 months or a long-term technology partner, we scale to fit.

We typically respond within 24 hours, scope your project on the first call, and deliver a detailed estimate with timeline and deliverables within 48 hours. No long procurement cycles — we're built to move at startup speed with enterprise-grade rigor.

Question 6

What is Globalbit known for?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit is known for building high-impact digital products that reach massive scale. Our most recognized work includes Moovit — the world's #1 transit app, used by 200M+ people and acquired by Intel for $900M — and the Israeli Government Design System, which set the national standard for digital public services. We've also delivered mission-critical systems for Fortune 500 companies including Intel, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson. Industry recognition includes named partnerships with Microsoft, Google, and Apple.

Question 7

How long has Globalbit been in business?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit was founded over 15 years ago in Israel. In that time we've grown from a small engineering team to a 50+ person company with two development centers, delivering 150+ projects across 10+ industries. Longevity matters in software — it means we've survived market cycles, evolved our technology stack continuously, and built the kind of institutional knowledge that only comes from shipping products for over a decade.

Question 8

What awards and recognition has Globalbit received?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit has been recognized as a Microsoft Gold Partner, Google Developer Agency Partner, and Apple developer partner. Our work on Moovit won Google Play App of the Year and numerous transit innovation awards. The Israeli Government Design System we built became the national standard for digital public services. These partnerships and awards reflect consistent engineering quality — not one lucky project.

Question 9

What notable clients has Globalbit worked with?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit has delivered projects for Intel, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Israel Electric Corporation, Moovit (Intel), IBI Investment House, Espresso Club, Ma'ariv (national newspaper), and multiple Israeli government agencies. Our client mix spans Fortune 500 enterprises, government bodies, and high-growth startups. 80% of our clients work with us for 3+ years — which says more about the quality of our work than any case study.

Question 10

What is Globalbit's client retention rate?

Accepted Answer

80% of Globalbit's clients stay with us for 3+ years. In an industry where the average outsourcing engagement lasts 12–18 months, this retention rate reflects the depth of our integration, the quality of our engineering, and our commitment to outcomes — not just deliverables. Clients come back because we treat their product as our own.

Question 11

Does Globalbit have case studies or references I can review?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Globalbit has published case studies for Moovit (200M+ users, $900M acquisition), Espresso Club (40% revenue growth through digital transformation), the Israeli Government Design System, and IBI Smart (Israel's #1 trading app). We're happy to share additional references on request. Most of our clients are willing to speak directly about their experience — that's how confident we are in our track record.

Question 12

What engagement models does Globalbit offer?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit offers three engagement models: dedicated team (your own embedded engineering squad), project-based delivery (fixed-scope, fixed-price), and team extension / outstaffing (individual senior engineers joining your team). Most clients start with a project and transition to a dedicated team once they see the quality. We adapt the model to your stage — startup, growth, or enterprise.

Question 13

How much does it cost to work with Globalbit?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit scopes every engagement individually based on complexity, team size, and timeline. We provide a detailed proposal with exact deliverables and a single price after a 30-minute discovery call — no hourly billing surprises. Our pricing reflects senior-level Israeli engineering talent (not junior offshore developers), and our AI-accelerated delivery cuts project timelines by up to 50%, delivering more value per dollar.

Question 14

How quickly can Globalbit start on a new project?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit can kick off a new project within 1–2 weeks. We scope and estimate within 48 hours of your first call, assemble the team within a week, and start delivering working software in the first sprint. For urgent projects, we've onboarded teams in as little as 3 business days. Speed is built into our process, not treated as an exception.

Question 15

What does Globalbit's development process look like?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit follows an agile process with 2-week sprints, daily standups, and weekly demos. Each project has a dedicated project manager, a tech lead, and a QA engineer from day one. We use Jira or Linear for task management, Slack for communication, and Figma for design collaboration. Transparency is non-negotiable — you see every sprint backlog, every burndown chart, and every decision log in real time.

Question 16

What technologies and programming languages does Globalbit specialize in?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit's engineering team covers the full modern stack: React, Next.js, Angular, and Vue for web; Swift/SwiftUI, Kotlin, Flutter, and React Native for mobile; Node.js, .NET, Python, and Java for backend; AWS, Azure, and GCP for cloud; and PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch for data. We don't force a stack — we choose the right tools for your product's requirements, performance needs, and team maintainability.

Question 17

How does Globalbit use AI in its development process?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit has integrated AI into every stage of our engineering pipeline. Autonomous AI agents handle up to 80% of routine tasks — code generation, test creation, documentation, code review — cutting delivery time in half. We also build AI-powered products for clients, including LLM integrations, RAG systems, computer vision solutions, and agentic workflows. AI isn't a marketing buzzword for us — it's embedded in how we work and what we build.

Question 18

Does Globalbit build AI and machine learning products?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Globalbit's GenAI & ML division builds production-grade AI solutions: LLM-powered chatbots and agents, RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) systems, computer vision pipelines, recommendation engines, and custom model fine-tuning. We work with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-source models. Our AI consulting service also helps enterprises identify where AI creates real ROI versus where it's just hype.

Question 19

Is Globalbit large enough to handle enterprise-scale projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Globalbit maintains a team of 50+ full-time engineers, designers, and QA specialists — scalable to 70+ for large engagements through our trusted senior contractor network. We've delivered multi-year projects for Intel, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and the Israeli government — production systems serving millions of users. We're large enough for enterprise rigor but small enough that your project gets executive attention from day one.

Question 20

How does Globalbit handle time zone differences?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit teams overlap with US Eastern, Central European, and UK business hours. We run daily standups at times that work for your team, maintain shared Jira/Linear boards for async visibility, and use Slack for real-time communication. Over 60% of our clients are international — remote collaboration is how we've operated for 15+ years, not something we adopted recently.

Question 21

How does Globalbit protect intellectual property and confidential data?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit signs comprehensive NDAs and IP assignment agreements before every engagement. All code, designs, and documentation belong to you — 100% IP transfer, zero lock-in. We enforce role-based access controls, use encrypted environments, and follow SOC 2 and GDPR-aligned security practices. We've passed security audits at banks, government agencies, and healthcare companies. Your code and data are treated with the same care as our own.

Question 22

What happens after the project is delivered?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit provides full knowledge transfer — documentation, architecture diagrams, deployment guides, and recorded walkthroughs — so your team can maintain and extend the product independently. For clients who want ongoing support, we offer maintenance and evolution retainers with guaranteed SLAs. 80% of our clients choose to continue working with us, but the choice is always yours — no lock-in, no dependency by design.

Question 23

Can Globalbit work alongside my existing in-house team?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and this is one of our most common engagement models. Globalbit engineers embed directly into your workflows: your Slack channels, your Jira boards, your standup cadence. We follow your coding standards, contribute to your repos, and participate in your code reviews. Clients often tell us they forget which engineers are theirs and which are ours — that's the level of integration we aim for.

Question 24

What kind of engineers work at Globalbit?

Accepted Answer

Globalbit hires senior-level engineers with an average of 8+ years of experience. Over 50% of our QA team holds ISTQB certifications. Our developers contribute to open-source projects, speak at conferences, and participate in internal tech talks. We don't hire juniors and train them on your project — you get experienced professionals who've shipped production systems at scale from day one.

Question 25

Does Globalbit have its own product design team?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Globalbit's Design Studio includes UX researchers, UI designers, and product strategists who work alongside our engineering teams. We don't just make things look good — we design for measurable outcomes: higher conversion rates, lower support costs, and better user retention. Our design work for the Israeli Government Design System became the national standard, and our consumer app designs have achieved ratings above 4.7 on both App Store and Google Play.
