KNOWLEDGE BASE
The Turkish Custom Software Sector: Who Can Really Deliver?
Table of Contents — English
Overview
Turkey's software sector has grown rapidly over the past decade, with strong ecosystems forming in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir. But not all of the 8,000+ registered software companies have the technical capacity for complex, multi-module enterprise projects. The capacity pyramid matters: micro-agencies and solo freelancers at the base handle websites and simple apps; boutique agencies in the middle handle mid-scale projects; and a small group of 20+ person enterprise software firms at the top can handle complex, long-running systems. PROJX Digital sits at the top of this pyramid, with dual offices in Istanbul (Şişli) and Barcelona, a 60% Senior/Medior team composition, and verifiable enterprise references across logistics, finance, retail, and SaaS.
