YOU ARE?
DOOR A — AGENCIES & STUDIOS

Your production team, without the payroll.

White label, NDA signed before the first technical conversation. Your clients see your name, ours appears nowhere in the code, the commits or your tools.

Enter on the agency side
DOOR B — STARTUPS & SMEs

Your product delivered, on the date in writing.

A written scope, a public rate, a date. Every day we are late refunds you 5% of the amount, it is in the contract, not in a sales pitch.

Enter on the product side
YOU ARE AN AGENCYA STARTUP OR AN SME

You invoice as before. You no longer carry the payroll.

A written scope, a public rate, a date we keep.

The service and the client price do not change, only your production cost does, in your favour, every month.

A price you can read before the call, and guarantees written into the contract, not argued.

WHAT WE HOLD OVER TIME
WORK

Our white-label references are under NDA. Here are the ones that are not.

The result, in figures. Not the promise.

We show no project built for an agency: that discretion is precisely what you are buying. The three engagements below are partners who agreed to be named on our site.

Three deliveries, three kinds of need: a mobile app published in 19 days, a platform whose features and automation we have run for several years, and a brand and website rebuild carried out in 5 days.

01

M Genesys Innov

MULTI-TECH AGENCY · FRANCE · 6 YEARS+
THE PROBLEM
Repeat clients kept asking for technologies the agency did not cover in-house.
WHAT WE DID
A multi-skilled managed team one developer per missing technology with the same people renewed each year on the long engagements.
THE RESULT
6 years of unbroken collaboration
Team embedded in the agency's rituals and tools
+10 engagements long-term/major delivered, 5 people embedded over the period
Two weeks to get up to speed on a technology new to us. Eg. Spryker

Happy Technologies

IT RECRUITMENT · FRANCE · 3-4 YEARS
THE PROBLEM
The engagements and the enterprise clients are there; access to a pool of technical talent is not.
WHAT WE DID
Across 3 long engagements renewed for 3-4 years, people interviewed and approved directly by the partner's enterprise client.
THE RESULT
Same rate, same margin since day one of the contract
No commitment until the end client approves the person
2 people put forward, 2 approved for the same client
100% validated since the start of the partnership
RECRUITMENT · CLIENT-APPROVED PROFILES
03

Power Digital

DIGITAL AGENCY · IRELAND · SHORT ENGAGEMENTS
THE PROBLEM
Short engagements, too small to justify a hire and conventional contracting too expensive for the size of the job.
WHAT WE DID
A quote within 48 hours for every mission you send our way. Work begins once the quote is approved. Time tracking is provided with every completed task, ensuring transparent validation and reliable billing. For urgent missions and bug fixes, we respond immediately and can start executing tasks within 2 hours.
THE RESULT
Zero hiring on the agency's side
Capacity extended beyond internal headroom, quality unchanged
2 h availability SLA, no monthly commitment
Industry-standard code
STAFFING · 2H SLA · NO COMMITMENT

Koékip

MOBILE APP · RÉUNION, FRANCE · 19 DAYS
THE PROBLEM
The no-code prototype no longer matched what users expected. They needed an app that could be optimised and maintained long term, ready to be judged by real users.
WHAT WE DID
We took over the prototype's features, improved and optimised them, and built the whole app in React Native.
THE RESULT
Live on the App Store and Google Play within 19 days
Full technical and functional documentation, knowledge handed over after sign-off — no dependency on us
0 bugs, 100% maintainable code

Urbidesk

COMMERCIAL REAL-ESTATE PLATFORM · FRANCE · MULTI-YEAR CLIENT
THE PROBLEM
Missing features, performance and SEO to fix. They needed a CRM and automated prospecting — an AI search across social posts (Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn) to surface matching offices automatically and start the outreach.
WHAT WE DID
Fully autonomous development of the new features, and proactive design of automations that give the sales team its time back.
THE RESULT
From 30th to 5th on Google for a number of keywords
A sales task cut from 30 minutes to 5
AI search switched on for visitors

SITE & IDENTITY REBUILD · 10 DAYS
THE PROBLEM
An ageing site, a logo and a visual identity that had fallen behind the company they stood for.
WHAT WE DID
A full rebuild: logo, visual identity, design, prototype and site build — the team working in parallel, delivered in 10 days.
THE RESULT
A modern site, in line with the market
Logo and visual identity matching the company's ambition

What is written into the contract

A remote supplier is not judged on its promises but on what it agrees to sign. Here is what we sign.

NON-CIRCUMVENTION

Immediate Exit and Full Refund

If we approach your end client, directly or through a third party, you can terminate the contract immediately with no notice, and we will refund the full amount already invoiced.
REPLACEMENT

A Profile That Doesn't Fit Is Replaced

At your request or your client's request, with no justification required. Replacement within 5 business days, at our expense. The handover period is not billed.
CONTINUITY

The Profile Stays on One Mission, and One Mission Only

Once approved, the engineer/CM & SMM is assigned exclusively to your client's project. We never reassign them during the mission. If they leave AKATA, we replace them at our expense.
DEADLINE GUARANTEE

5% of the Price per Business Day of Delay

Applied automatically, with no claim required, and capped at 50%. The start date is the date stated in the contract.
GUARANTEED RESULTS

Meets the Specifications, or You Get a Refund

The project is delivered according to the specifications you approved, at a fixed price for that scope. If it does not meet them, you receive a full refund.
INTERRUPTION

100% Refund If We Stop the Project

If AKATA stops the project for reasons attributable to us, you receive a full refund of all amounts paid. The risk of abandonment is on our side, not yours.
TOTAL CONFIDENTIALITY

Nothing of ours shows up at your client

An NDA before any exchange, a non-compete clause, no contact with your end client. Deliverables 100% white label: not our name, not our accounts, not our commits.
ZERO COMMITMENT

You only commit to your client

No fixed fee, no minimum commitment, and no obligation until your client has approved the profile. You only pay for what you actually use.
THE CODE IS YOURS

Paid in 25% instalments, delivered at every milestone

The repository is in your name from the first commit. Payment in 4 instalments of 25%: at each approved milestone the matching code is delivered and becomes yours.
AFTER DELIVERY

You leave self-sufficient, without us

Training included and documentation complete: the knowledge transfer is part of the deliverable, not a paid extra. Your team takes over without us.

The easiest line to resell to a client you have already signed. Fixed scope, dedicated PM, your brand guidelines — nothing of ours shows up at your client.

WHY FIANARANTSOA

A company comes from somewhere. Here is ours.

Founded in 2020 by graduates of the University of Fianarantsoa – National School of Computer Science (ENI), AKATA GOAVANA employs and trains engineers from its own hometown. We are not an outsourced production center: we are a studio with a physical presence, a community, and a vision, to make Fianarantsoa Madagascar’s leading hub for digital excellence.

The faces on this site are ours, not a stock library. Five leads below, thirty employees in all: the number on each photo is the team that person leads.

THE SEVEN QUESTIONS THAT KEEP COMING UP

Answered here, not on the third call.

If your question is not here, it deserves a twenty-minute call, not a form.

Ask it on WhatsApp
01

Why are your prices so low next to a French agency?

A salaried team and no middlemen. Our engineers and team members are our employees. All social security and employer contributions are fully covered by us — never by you. . The rate is published on this page — 136 € per day per person, the same whoever you talk to.

02

How do you work with a team 8,000 km away?

+

Seven to eight hours of shared working day: Paris is 1 to 2 h behind us depending on the season. One steady project manager, fluent in French and English, in your tools and your rituals.

03

Who owns the code?

+

You do, from the first commit: the repository is in your name, and every approved milestone is delivered to you with its documentation.

04

And if you deliver late?

+

5% of the amount is refunded to you per working day late against the contractual date, automatically and with no claim to file, capped at 50%.

05

Can my client find out you exist?

Is my idea protected before I talk about it?

+

No. An NDA signed before the first technical conversation, aliased accounts in your tools, no contact with your end client, nothing of ours in the commits.

Yes. NDA, non-compete and non-solicitation are signed before the brief. Confidentiality is not a paid extra.

06

And if the person assigned is not a fit?

+

They are replaced within 5 working days. The first two trial weeks are billed at −50%, precisely so you can judge.

07

Where is the data hosted?

+

In France: OVH, Hostinger, O2switch or IONOS depending on the project, AWS when the scale calls for it. DPA signed and processing register maintained.

Describe your project. NDA signed before you say a word about it.

A priced quote within 48 h, a written scope, a committed delivery date. If we are not the right studio for your project, we say so on the first call.
