Start a ProjectA senior team in Tirana building products for Europe
Albania's software development sector has grown significantly over the past decade. KRENA is part of that generation — a small, senior team that builds real software products rather than outsourcing the work or hiring junior developers to pad out a headcount.
We work directly with our clients. No account managers, no hand-offs to contractors, no surprises after the contract is signed. You talk to the people writing the code.
Our own product, OTRUP — a fitness marketplace connecting users with personal trainers — was designed, built, and launched by our team. It is the standard we hold ourselves to on client work.
What we build
SaaS Platform Development
We design and build subscription-based software from the ground up — multi-tenant architecture, user management, billing integration, and everything in between. If you have a SaaS idea, we know how to build it.
Marketplace Development
Two-sided platforms that connect buyers with sellers, service providers with customers, or talent with businesses. We built OTRUP — a fitness marketplace — from concept to production. Marketplaces are not just websites; they are products that need the right architecture from day one.
Mobile Application Development
Cross-platform mobile applications that run natively on iOS and Android. We use React Native to ship a single codebase without sacrificing performance or user experience.
Custom Business Software
Purpose-built software that replaces manual processes, connects your team, or serves your customers. Internal tools, management platforms, customer portals, and booking systems — built to your exact requirements.
Why work with a software company in Albania?
European time zone
Tirana operates in GMT+1/+2 — the same time zone as most of Western Europe. Full working-hour overlap with the UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. No async delays, no midnight calls.
Competitive economics
Albanian software development rates are significantly lower than equivalent quality in the UK, Germany, or Switzerland — without the communication barriers or timezone challenges of more distant markets.
Direct communication
We work in English and are experienced collaborating with European teams. Proposals, technical documents, meetings, and handovers — all in clear, professional English.

Yes — the majority of our work is with companies outside Albania, primarily in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. We communicate in English and are experienced working remotely with European teams.
What technologies does KRENA use?
Our core stack includes React, Next.js, Angular, React Native, Node.js, Java, .NET, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. We choose the right tool for the project, not the trendiest one.
