Technology is rapidly transforming the way every company does business, regardless of size or industry; however while larger businesses typically have access to large in-house tech teams (i.e., Tier 1), Tier 2 and Tier 3 companies primarily located in smaller metro areas (or those providing specialised service to niche markets) face many obstacles when it comes to taking advantage of emerging tech trends, software development, digital transformation and overall digital strategy.
Codestro has established itself as a trusted offshore development partner by offering custom developed solutions, web-based applications, and mobile apps, as well as full-service technology support for virtually all types of small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) throughout America.
In this post we will look at the growing trend of Tier 2 and Tier 3 U.S. SMEs seeking out Codestro as their preferred tech partner for mobile app development and discuss the benefits of working with an offshore development firm such as Codestro and how we provide value as a strategic partner through our knowledge and experience in the technology sector.
Understanding the Challenges of Tier 2 & 3 U.S. Businesses
In the United States, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Cities provide unique growth opportunities for businesses as they typically offer lower operational costs, abundant unutilized human capital, and emerging local markets. While the potential is great for companies operating within these cities, they typically face numerous technological and operational challenges that restrict them from being able to fully compete against companies located in Tier 1 cities. Examples of the primary challenges include:
- The vast majority of technology positions (i.e., Software Engineers, UI/UX Designers, DevOps Experts, Cloud) are staffed in Tier 1 locations such as Silicon Valley and New York, leaving a significant technical talent void for companies situated in smaller cities.
- Many of the SMBs are considered start-ups and have limited financial resources available to create local technical talent, nor can they afford the expense of enterprise-level software solutions.
- Many SMBs are still utilizing legacy systems, manual processes, and older software applications that inhibit operational efficiency and make it nearly impossible for them to compete with their digitized counterparts.
- Without the ability to apply modern technology solutions, it is nearly impossible for SMBs to expand into new markets, implement additional operational tools or increase their overall operational capacity.
By providing customized, affordable technology services and solutions designed specifically for the needs of the SMB in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, Codestro gives SMBs the necessary tools to remove barriers to growth and efficiently scale their companies.
Codestro: A Trusted Tech Partner for SMBs
There are several reasons why Codestro has become the preferred technology vendor for SMBs. First, Codestro utilizes the best practices used by large corporations (i.e. SalesForce.com, Microsoft, Google, etc.) but at a fraction of the price. Secondly, Codestro has established relationships and partnerships with the leading technology providers. Lastly, Codestro provides personalized, high-touch solution development and delivery services to each of its SMB clients.
1. Customized Solutions for Every Business
With Codestro’s Unique Software Development method, every business can have software that is tailored to meet its unique needs – no matter what size it is! Instead of supplying a generic software solution that fits all businesses regardless of their specific needs, Codestro focuses on providing custom software for each individual client.
- For instance, we develop custom web and mobile applications that help businesses operate their business more effectively and efficiently and increase the level of engagement between the business’s customers and the company.
- Industry-Specific Solutions: Custom software allows businesses to seamlessly integrate custom-built applications into their existing business workflows to enhance their overall operational efficiency.
- Scalable Architecture: In addition to that, we develop custom software that meets the compliance requirements for businesses that operate in specific industries, such as healthcare, retail, logistics, and professional services.
The quality of our software solutions is such that we provide Tier 2 and Tier 3 businesses with the same level of software service and capability as businesses located in larger Tier 1 cities. All of our solutions are built with growth in mind, so we can add features and users and make adjustments without causing disruption to the business’s operations. With Custom Software Solutions from Codestro, every business has equal access to the highest quality of custom software solutions.
2. Access to Global Tech Talent
Codestro is an offshore development agency that provides businesses worldwide with access to a highly talented and skilled group of technical professionals. we allows Tier 2 and Tier 3 businesses to overcome one of the biggest obstacles of finding and hiring quality technical skills locally, which have limited the growth potential of many Tier 2 and 3 businesses, due to the unavailability of qualified technical talent within their geographic area.
Codestro offers expertise in:
- Web and Mobile Application Development
- iOS and Android Mobile App Development
- DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Management
- UI and UX Design
- Quality Assurance and Testing
- AI and Data Analytics
- App Development for the iOS and Android Platforms
By leveraging offshore talent, businesses save significantly on recruitment, salaries, and infrastructure costs, while still receiving enterprise-level software solutions.
3. Cost-Effective Technology Solutions
SMBs are constantly under pressure to keep an eye on costs, which is why Codestro offers cost-effective software development that overcomes the need for costly software purchases or large teams to develop this software internally.
Here are some of the advantages of this cost-effective software development:
- Reduced costs associated with hiring multiple in-house developers and other associated costs such as office space and IT infrastructure are completely eliminated.
- Flexible pricing options that vary from project-based to retainer-based and dedicated team-based models to accommodate your budget.
- Higher ROI from improved products due to customized solutions that improve operational efficiencies, reduce manual errors, and add process efficiencies, ultimately allowing for cost savings over time.
Codestro allows Tier 2 and 3 companies to utilize high-quality technology solutions that are typically not available without the upfront costs of hiring a full-time development team.
4. Faster Time-to-Market
For SMBs, speed is everything. The ability to get a new product out to the marketplace, enter a new market, and implement operational efficiencies quickly can differentiate your company from your competition.
Codestro accelerates product development and deployment through:
- Agile project management

With this technology, SMBs can be just as fast as large organizations when it comes to bringing an innovative product to market.

6. Enhanced Security & Compliance
The threat of cyberattacks is a serious issue for any company, regardless of size. Many Tier 2 and Tier 3 companies do not have dedicated IT security staff, therefore putting themselves at risk for being the target of a cyberattack.
