Team augmentation for an IoT solution provider
Business context
Our collaboration with IoT Systems (name changed for NDA purposes) started in 2015 when we staffed a remote team to help the company quickly customize their software and integrate with their new customer’s warehouse management system. Since then, we have been helping IoT Systems adjust their platform to meet the demands of new customers and reduce the time to market, shifting from one customization to another and supporting the client’s software.
Throughout our collaboration, we have helped the company:
provide cost-efficient and flexible staffing solutions to reduce time to market
set up a new team to enhance functionality for new customers
effectively manage remote collaboration processes despite time zone differences and development specifics
retain IoT Systems’ corporate values, culture, and productivity within the newly formed Yalantis team
See how we provided staffing solutions, closely matched IoT Systems’ culture and development patterns, and aligned the development processes with our client’s budget and time constraints.
