Challenges

Hiring couldn't keep pace with the roadmap

The client provides a cloud platform that helps manufacturing companies manage production workflows, traceability, planning and shop-floor operations.

As adoption grew across Europe, so did the volume of customer requests, integrations and product enhancements.

01

Hiring took too long

Experienced engineers don't appear on demand but the roadmap wasn't waiting for a six-month search.

02

Cost hit before value did

Recruiting and onboarding required real investment long before a new hire shipped a single feature.

03

Every open seat was a delivery risk

Unfilled roles meant slower releases, more pressure on the existing team, and innovation stuck in the queue.

TechSoft's Approach

Phase 1 - Accelerating Product Delivery

TechSoft embedded 3 senior full-stack engineers (React, Python, PostgreSQL, Docker) directly into the client’s product team to accelerate feature delivery without the delays of in-house hiring.

Working within the client’s Agile process, the team quickly integrated into daily operations and began contributing to new features, integrations, and platform improvements.

Phase 2 - Strengthening Product Experience

As delivery accelerated, TechSoft identified an opportunity to improve how features were designed before they were built.

A UX/UI Designer was embedded into the team to validate requirements, refine user journeys, and align stakeholders before development – reducing ambiguity and minimizing rework.

Phase 3: Scaling Quality & Operations

To support long-term product growth, TechSoft expanded the team with QA and DevOps specialists, completing a multidisciplinary delivery capability.

With engineering, design, quality assurance and DevOps working as one team, the client could scale delivery confidently without building a larger in-house organization.

A Structured Delivery Framework

01

Requirement Intake

Business requests, customer feedback, and enhancement ideas are collected together with objectives and constraints.

02

UX Assessment

Requirements are reviewed against roadmap priorities, user workflows and existing product patterns.

03

Design Validation

Design concepts and proposed user experiences are validated with stakeholders before development begins.

04

Delivery Planning

Approved solutions are translated into detailed implementation tickets with clear acceptance criteria.

05

Development

Developers implement validated solutions through Agile sprint cycles and continuous collaboration.

06

Quality Validation

Completed features undergo design review, testing and stakeholder validation before release.

Results

1. Faster Product Delivery

With additional engineering capacity, the team rapidly cleared the backlog of development tickets and accelerated feature delivery across multiple customer projects. This enabled the client to respond faster to customer requests while keeping the product roadmap on track.

2. Higher First-Time-Right Rate

By embedding a UX/UI Designer into the delivery process, the team validated requirements and user experience before development began. This reduced developer rework, improved the first-time-right rate, and ensured delivered features better matched customer expectations.

3. More Reliable Releases

With dedicated QA and DevOps support, testing and deployment became an integrated part of the development lifecycle rather than a final checkpoint. This improved software quality, reduced release risks and enabled more reliable deployments.

4. Greater Delivery Visibility

Through delivery KPIs, sprint metrics and regular steering reviews, the client gained clear visibility into team performance and project progress. This enabled proactive decision-making, better resource planning and more predictable delivery.
