Software Development in Atlanta
Atlanta is the tech capital of the Southeast. Home to NCR, Fiserv, and a growing wave of fintech startups, the city processes more payment transactions than anywhere outside of New York. Georgia Tech produces 3,500+ engineering graduates annually. We serve Atlanta businesses from our Dallas HQ — 2-hour direct flight, 1-hour timezone difference, and rates 40-60% below local agencies.
Why Atlanta for Software Development?
Atlanta punches above its weight in tech. The city has more fintech companies per capita than almost any US metro. NCR Voyix, Fiserv (after acquiring First Data), and Global Payments all operate major offices here. Beyond fintech, Atlanta is a logistics hub (Delta, UPS, Home Depot), a healthcare center (CDC, Emory), and a cybersecurity hotspot (thanks to the Army Cyber Center of Excellence at Fort Eisenhower nearby). Georgia Tech's engineering program feeds a steady stream of talent into the ecosystem, and the cost of living keeps salaries more reasonable than coastal cities.

What We Build in Atlanta
Atlanta's economy runs on payments, logistics, and healthcare. We build software purpose-made for these industries.
Custom Software Development
Full-stack applications for Atlanta enterprises and startups. Payment platforms, logistics management tools, and business automation systems. Built to handle the transaction volumes and uptime requirements Atlanta's industries demand.
Fintech & Payment Systems
Payment processing platforms, card management systems, and banking APIs. Atlanta moves 70% of US payment transactions. We build the software that keeps that money flowing — PCI-DSS compliant, low-latency, and designed for massive throughput.
AI & Data Analytics
Fraud detection for payment companies, route optimization for logistics firms, and predictive analytics for healthcare systems. We build AI that processes Atlanta's massive transaction and supply chain datasets in real time.
Cybersecurity Software
Security monitoring platforms, threat detection systems, and compliance automation tools. Atlanta's proximity to Fort Eisenhower's Army Cyber Command has created a strong cybersecurity ecosystem. We build software that protects critical infrastructure.
Mobile App Development
Consumer fintech apps, employee field service tools, and patient-facing healthcare apps. iOS and Android development using React Native and Flutter, optimized for the performance and security that regulated industries require.
Cloud & Infrastructure
AWS and Azure infrastructure for Atlanta enterprises. Legacy system migrations, microservices architecture, and DevOps automation. We help Atlanta companies move from on-prem data centers to cloud without disrupting operations.
Industries We Serve in Atlanta
Atlanta's economy has a few standout sectors that generate huge demand for custom software.
Fintech & Payment Processing
Atlanta is 'Transaction Alley' — 70% of US payment transactions flow through companies based here. We build payment gateways, card issuing platforms, merchant dashboards, and compliance tools for fintech startups and established players like NCR and Global Payments' ecosystem partners.
Logistics & Supply Chain
UPS is headquartered here. Delta's largest hub is Hartsfield-Jackson. Home Depot manages 2,300 stores from Atlanta. We build warehouse management systems, route optimization tools, and supply chain visibility platforms that handle millions of packages and shipments daily.
Healthcare & Public Health
The CDC is based in Atlanta, alongside major health systems like Emory and Grady. We build clinical data platforms, public health surveillance tools, and patient engagement applications. Every system meets HIPAA, HL7 FHIR, and Georgia-specific health data regulations.
Cybersecurity
Atlanta's cybersecurity sector is growing rapidly, fueled by proximity to military cyber operations and a strong demand for security talent. We build SIEM integrations, security operations dashboards, and automated incident response tools for security companies and enterprise security teams.
How We Work with Atlanta Teams
Dallas to Atlanta is a 2-hour direct flight. We're close enough for regular on-site visits, with just a 1-hour timezone offset.
Discovery & Planning
We kick off with a thorough requirements gathering session — at your Atlanta office or remotely. Stakeholder interviews, system audits, and competitive analysis. We identify what needs to be built, what already exists, and where the risks are.
Architecture & Security Design
System architecture with security built in from the start. For Atlanta's fintech and cybersecurity clients, we address PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and specific regulatory frameworks at the design level. Your Atlanta tech team reviews and approves the blueprint.
Agile Development
Two-week sprints with working demos. Your Atlanta product owner controls the backlog. Our India team provides overnight development so your project moves forward 16+ hours per day. Sprint reviews happen during Eastern Time business hours.
Testing & Security Validation
Automated testing, penetration testing, and compliance validation. For payment companies, we run PCI scanning tools. For healthcare, HIPAA audits. Nothing goes to production without passing the full security and quality gate.
Deployment & Launch
We deploy to your infrastructure with zero-downtime deployment strategies. Blue-green deployments, canary releases, and automated rollback for critical systems. We stay on call through the launch window until metrics stabilize.
Ongoing Partnership
Post-launch support with a consistent team that knows your system. Bug fixes, feature development, and performance optimization. We visit Atlanta quarterly for roadmap planning and architecture reviews.

Software Development in Atlanta Questions Answered
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often.
Our headquarters is in Dallas, TX. Atlanta is a 2-hour direct flight away, and we visit regularly for client meetings, kickoffs, and quarterly reviews. The 1-hour timezone difference (CT to ET) means we overlap for the entire business day. Many Atlanta clients find this setup works better than a local vendor because they get lower rates with the same level of access.
