Get to know us.
We are a 24-year young Pittsburgh-based boutique company that provides unique technology solutions across the U.S. When a project is launched, our partnership doesn’t end. As your needs grow and evolve, we’re here to make sure your technology does, too. Our greatest honor is 98% of our clients engage us on multiple projects spanning 5-8 years on average.

Why fivestar*?
Built to the right scale. No too small or too big here. Our consulting, analysis, and project management teams develop a plan that allows us to optimize your budget to get you up and running quickly and efficiently.
Forward thinking. We build the software you need today, with the future in mind. And we provide the support and service you need after the project is complete. As your business evolves, your software and our relationship can, too.
Modified Agile methodology. We look at your project holistically and build incrementally. You get useable code in bi-weekly releases that builds to the final product.
Human-centered design. We go beyond “user-friendly.” Everything we create is driven by your peoples’ needs, using best practice design techniques.
Powered By DevOps. Our development and operations teams work together to continuously develop, test, and deliver our solutions. We use current DevOps practices and tools to respond to your needs to drive results faster and more effectively.
