The full story
A fast-growing Dutch manufacturing execution systems provider had more demand than its engineering team could handle. Here's how an embedded delivery team helped them ship faster, design smarter, and release with confidence.
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.
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
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.
