What the day rate does not tell you
At equal price, three structural differences separate a dedicated nearshore team from buying days from an IT services company.
You pay for the day produced
Holidays, sick leave, training and time between assignments remain the provider’s responsibility. The volume ordered is the volume delivered.
Staffed in 2 weeks
A team of 40+ Full Stack developers already in place, versus 2 to 3 months of recruitment for a permanent hire in France.
AI-assisted development
Cursor, Codex and automated review built into the delivery chain: the velocity gain adds to the day-rate difference.
Indicative simulation based on market averages, excluding steering fees, licences and travel. Employer contribution rates vary with the collective agreement, company size and salary level. Amounts are shown excluding VAT.
Why augmented development?
More production capacity. No less engineering.
We integrate AI into the development cycle to increase production capacity and focus our teams’ expertise on architecture, business challenges and complex topics.
Code generation
Speed up development.
Code analysis
Understand, explore and diagnose.
Refactoring
Modernise, restructure and simplify.
Tests
Assist with writing and analysing tests.
Documentation
Produce and maintain documentation.
Engineering
Design, decide, check and validate.
Our LLM environment
AI designed for the team, not a collection of subscriptions.
Our developers have a centralised LLM infrastructure with several models, selected according to technologies, projects and uses.
Centralised
A shared environment, used by the whole team.
Controlled
Access, usage and costs managed from a single environment.
Multi-model
Several models available depending on projects and uses.
Sovereign
Hosted in Europe and managed by Pilot Systems, outside US or Chinese platforms.
Build & Run
Complete support across the whole life cycle.
We build, take over, maintain and evolve applications with the same standards of quality and performance.
Design
Scoping, architecture and technical choices.
Develop
Building and producing the software.
Deploy
Environments and go-live.
Operate
Maintenance, support and application maintenance.
Evolve
New features, modernisation and refactoring.
Your dedicated team
A team that truly becomes part of your project.
We put together dedicated, organised and steered teams that fit into your methods and tools. Adjustable capacity to support projects over the long term.
Lead Dev
A single technical point of contact, responsible for the team’s consistency, the work produced and the quality of the deliverables.
Developers
Profiles matched to the technologies, needs and context of the project.
Code Gen / LLM
An AI environment made available to the development team, integrated into its working methods and shared with the other teams on the project.
Adjustable capacity
Capacity that evolves with the workload and priorities of the project.
Steering & tools
Shared tools. Transparent collaboration.
Developers, leads, project managers and client teams share the same tools to integrate better, track progress and centralise exchanges. A way of working together, but also of preserving the project’s memory over time.
Trackr
Structures projects around hierarchies of tickets and tasks, with time tracking, progress tracking and real-time reporting on team activity.
- Tickets and tasks
- Time spent
- Real-time progress
- Team workload
- Reporting and dashboards
Mattermost
Slack-style open source collaborative messaging, operated by Pilot Systems. It centralises the exchanges of hundreds of contributors, across all projects and teams, in spaces organised by channels, with history, search and retention of exchanges.
- Channels per project and team
- Saved history
- Sovereign environment
- A unique URL for every message
- Referenced from a ticket or a doc
