Where did it all begin?

Software Sauna was founded by two Finnish friends who wanted to create a service to meet the needs of modern software development. We merge Nordic business culture with top-notch Mediterranean engineers whose skills are forged on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea.

We work side by side with our clients on the frontier of digitalization and challenge each other to succeed every single day. As people and technology are close to our hearts, we say:

“Happy Programmer – Happy Client.”
