HSTK (Haystack)
Haystack has been a premiere full stack Custom Software Consulting shop since 2014. Our team builds best-in-class custom software, websites and mobile apps. We serve clients just starting out all the way to fully-established corporations. We do some of our best work when partnering with Marketing and Advertising agencies and have produced reliable code as a foundation for their stunning creative. Haystack prides itself on building complex applications with the end users in mind. Our team takes a custom and consultative approach to any new project. We ask why. We provide recommendations. Our clients borrow our experience and expertise to avoid pitfalls. We are a team of tinkerers. A team of problem-solvers. A team of creative consultants who not only want to know how things work, but want to figure out how to make things work better. We treat each other well and that shines through in our work and the client's experience. We are a service-first organization, both internally and externally. Our locations in both Indianapolis, IN and Phoenix, AZ make us never more than a day trip from over 80% of the country and we find that the personal touch from a face-to-face whiteboarding session can often be the difference between a successful project and an extraordinary one.
