About 1902 Software

Most of what your project needs, we've built before. That means fewer surprises in your timeline, fewer decisions you have to reverse later, and an expert team that tells you when there's a better way to do it.

1902 Software is a Danish-owned software development agency based in Metro Manila. Our team of developers, designers, testers, and Project Managers works with companies of every size on ecommerce, websites, mobile apps, and custom software, from first mockup through launch and ongoing support.

Everyone who works on your project is an in-house employee, so the people who know your system stay with it. Clients notice the difference, and our 98% satisfaction rating reflects it.

1902 Software, a Danish software company, started out with AutoLISP (programming for AutoCAD) and Visual Basic development in 1998. Over time, we transitioned to web development in response to changing trends and consumer demands in IT.

We started offering Classic ASP development in 1999, .NET development in 2003, then PHP development in 2007. In the past decade, we also built expertise in content management systems like WordPress (2010) and Umbraco (2013). We added ecommerce platforms too, including Magento (2009), WordPress with WooCommerce, and various Umbraco ecommerce packages.

In 2012, we established our Mobile App department, offering native development first for iOS and Windows, then for Android in 2013. We then started cross-platform mobile app development through Xamarin in 2015.

Since then, we have added Shopify and React Native, carried our Xamarin practice forward into .NET MAUI, built WriteText.ai for ecommerce product content, and brought AI-assisted and agentic development into our standard process.

1902 Software works with clients worldwide from its office in Metro Manila, Philippines. Our largest client bases are in Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, the United Kingdom, and across Asia.

Our office hours are 08:00 to 19:00 GMT+8, which gives us working-hour overlap with all of these markets on the same business day.

• Ecommerce solutions (Magento, WooCommerce, Shopify, Umbraco ecommerce)
• Websites (WordPress and Umbraco)
• Custom software and business systems (.NET, ReactJS, and various PHP frameworks, such as Laravel, Slim, CodeIgniter, etc.)
• Mobile applications (native iOS and Android, React Native, .NET MAUI)
• AI applications and agentic AI solutions
• Design, testing, and consulting services

Shape, Build, Care connects three ways to work with us: optional Co-Dev prototyping, a Fixed Price Project, and Continuous Monthly Development. You can start wherever your project fits.

• Co-Dev is an optional route for clients who want to shape a working prototype with us. It can start with a new system, a feature for an existing system using its design system, or a vibe-coded proof of concept that needs to become production-ready.
• Continuous Monthly Development keeps your software and systems moving forward: you simply send your tasks whenever they arise, and we prioritize the work together. Care and Care Plus run at one fixed monthly price with project management and plan meetings included and nothing billed on top; Care Ultimate gives you a fixed price for every task or group of tasks, approved by you before work begins.
• Fixed Price Projects are for larger, well-defined initiatives, one defined project, one agreed price. We define the scope together, agree on the deliverables, and calculate the price before development begins. Large projects begin with Project Scoping, which defines exactly what will be developed, including the price.

Our developers, designers, testers, and project managers use modern AI-assisted tools for planning, design, development, and testing. This results in higher quality and faster delivery. Every solution is still thoroughly reviewed, tested, and verified by experienced software developers and testers before delivery.

Agentic development accelerates research, implementation, checking, and documentation. We support Claude, Codex, Manus, Grok Bot, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Windsurf, alongside our own models, skills, and workflows, and we can work with AI tools the client already prefers.

1902 Software controls access to the development process and decides what is ready for release. The tools assist the work; our experienced people remain responsible for the delivered result.

We're located in the Filinvest business district in south Metro Manila, Philippines. Our workspace is a hub of creativity and collaboration, with continuous in-house skills training and knowledge-sharing sessions. We take every project seriously, but also know how to have fun with activities like after-office workout sessions, team buildings, parties, and challenges throughout the year.

If you want to visit us and get to know our team in person, we'd love to welcome you. We often have clients visit either to 'meet and greet' with the team or to start a new project with us.

Most of 1902 Software's work comes from existing clients rather than new ones. Many began with a single project or a handful of support tasks and stayed on through new platforms, redesigns, upgrades, and entirely new ventures.

That's not an accident. It's the direct result of our mission.

To do repeat business with our clients year in and year out.

We achieve our mission by:

• Retaining our employees for a long time. We can only succeed if we build a harmonious company with dedicated employees, ultimately benefiting clients, company, and employees alike.
• Staying on top of new developments within our business area.
• Refining our products and adding value to them. We don't want to be "just another third world exporter of raw materials."
• Improving the image of products made in the Philippines by making a cost-effective quality product.
• Training our employees to give 100% attention to consistency and detail. Embracing globalization as a once in a lifetime opportunity, and not an adversary.
