View company profile

At Railroad19, our customers in demanding industries like Media & Entertainment, Finance, and Energy often face the challenge of needing mission-critical software that can operate at enterprise scale and adapt to complex, ever-evolving business requirements. They require robust solutions for scheduling, advertising, streaming, media supply chain operations, regulatory compliance, and energy market distribution. This is why we partner with them to design and build custom enterprise-level applications and cloud-platform solutions. Our customers understand that off-the-shelf software often falls short of their unique needs, which is why they turn to us for our expertise in developing innovative solutions that address these specific challenges. For over two decades, we've been delivering these solutions, specializing in intricate business logic, large-scale vendor integrations, and critical cloud migrations. We recognize that our clients, including Fortune 500 companies, need more than just software consultants; they need a dedicated team of highly skilled developers and architects who bring depth, value, and an unwavering commitment to their projects. Many of our clients have been with us for over five years, a testament to the trust they place in our ability to deliver.

Our customers also face the challenge of sourcing and retaining top-tier technical talent. This is why Railroad19 emphasizes a highly selective, national hiring process, ensuring we bring only an 'A' team to every engagement. We don't rely on freelancers or offshore talent; instead, we invest in very senior, US-based developers who share our passion for quality work and possess a breadth of experience across diverse technologies and development practices. This approach allows us to seamlessly integrate into our clients' existing environments and utilize the platforms that best suit their unique business requirements. Our clients in the Media & Entertainment sector, for instance, have relied on us for over a quarter-century to help them operate at scale. Similarly, our finance clients depend on us to navigate complex regulatory landscapes, and our energy clients trust our specialization in energy markets and distribution. By focusing on these core needs and providing a stable, experienced team, we help our customers overcome their most significant technological hurdles and achieve their business objectives, ultimately generating substantial revenue through the software we build.
