About us

A nearshore engineering partner, not a staffing agency

Val Bonet Consulting was founded to close the gap between ambitious product roadmaps and the senior engineering capacity needed to ship them. We work as an extension of our clients' teams β€” product companies building their own platforms, and consultancies that need trusted delivery capacity for their own client work.

We combine European-based leadership with distributed senior engineers, so every engagement gets close collaboration, cultural alignment with Western Europe and North America, and the schedule overlap that async offshore teams can't offer.

Our mission

Help product companies and consultancies ship reliable software faster, with senior teams that feel like an in-house extension.

Our vision

To be the trusted nearshore partner of choice for European and North American teams building mobile-first, AI-enabled products.

Our values

Transparency, ownership and craftsmanship β€” we treat every codebase like it's going to be maintained for a decade.

Where we work

Team based across Europe with delivery hubs aligned to CET/GMT and EST/PST business hours.

Global Delivery

One engineering team, two continents of overlap

Being a nearshore partner means more than time-zone proximity to Europe. Our delivery model is built so teams in Madrid, London or Berlin β€” and in New York, Toronto or San Francisco β€” get real-time collaboration, not hand-offs across a 10-hour gap.

Daily stand-ups, sprint reviews and product discussions are scheduled inside shared working hours, and every client gets a single point of contact who coordinates delivery regardless of where the engineers on the team are based.

Our services

Full-stack product engineering, mobile-first

From native mobile apps to the backend and AI layer behind them, we cover the full engineering surface product teams need β€” as dedicated squads or focused engagements.

Android & Kotlin Multiplatform

Native Android apps and shared Kotlin Multiplatform codebases that power Android and iOS from a single business-logic layer.

iOS development

Native Swift/SwiftUI apps built to Apple's latest standards, integrated cleanly with shared KMP business logic when needed.

Backend engineering

Scalable APIs, microservices and cloud infrastructure on AWS/GCP, built for reliability and designed to grow with the product.

AI integration

LLM-powered features, applied AI and automation embedded directly into existing products β€” from prototypes to production.

Team augmentation

Senior engineers embedded in your existing team and processes, ramped up quickly without the overhead of direct hiring.

QA & DevOps

Automated testing, CI/CD pipelines and release engineering so quality and shipping speed don't trade off against each other.

Why choose us

Nearshore, without the trade-offs

Companies work with Val Bonet Consulting because we combine the responsiveness of an in-house team with the flexibility of an external partner.

1
Senior engineers only

No junior bench-warming. Every engineer on your team has shipped production software before joining a client project.

2
Real time-zone overlap

Working hours aligned with Europe and North America mean live collaboration, not 24-hour reply cycles.

3
Transparent communication

Weekly demos, shared boards and a single delivery lead β€” you always know exactly what's shipping and when.

4
Flexible engagement models

Dedicated squads, staff augmentation or fixed-scope projects β€” we adapt to how your team already works.

5
Security & IP protection

NDAs, secure development practices and clear IP assignment are standard on every engagement, not an add-on.

Our process

From discovery call to shipped product

A predictable process designed to get a qualified team working on your product within weeks, not months.

1. Discovery call

We learn about your product, team, timeline and the skills you need β€” usually a 30-minute conversation.

2. Proposal & team match

We propose an engagement model and shortlist the engineers whose background fits your stack and domain.

3. Kickoff & sprint 0

Access, tooling and ways of working are set up together, and we agree on the first milestones.

4. Agile delivery

Regular sprints, demos and shared boards keep delivery visible and adjustable as priorities evolve.

5. QA & release

Automated testing and staged rollouts reduce risk before every release reaches your users.

6. Continuous partnership

We scale the team up or down as your roadmap changes, with the same people staying close to the product.

Success stories

Real projects, real outcomes

A track record built on senior engagements with enterprise and product teams β€” spanning cross-platform chat & video, secure access systems, and large-scale backend consolidation.

Enterprise Communications
One2One Chat & Video Platform β€” Indra

Challenge: Indra needed a single, shared business-logic layer to power a secure chat and video-calling product across Android and Desktop (Windows, Linux, macOS).

Solution: Built shared Kotlin Multiplatform services and data layers, Spring Boot microservices and REST APIs, plus the Ktor-based backend powering real-time video call sessions.

Secure Keyless-Access App β€” ONCE

Challenge: ONCE needed a reliable client-side data and networking layer for a secure, keyless-access application used by its members.

Solution: Delivered the Android networking and persistence layer (Retrofit, Room, Hilt) integrated against backend services, under an MVVM architecture and Scrum delivery.

Club Ahorro Vip β€” VipDistrict

Challenge: VipDistrict was maintaining 20 separate client apps against one shared backend, driving up maintenance cost and slowing every release.

Solution: Designed a single, flavour-based codebase architecture to replace all 20 apps, alongside new backend functionality built in Struts2.
