Your strategic IT partner in Gothenburg

cargotec-kalmar

Trusted by startups and enterprises:

Let's be candid – you're probably tired of IT consultancies that promise the world but deliver generic solutions. Or those that simply nod along and provide developers without questioning if that's really what your business needs.

Here's what we've learned working with CTOs and IT leaders across Sweden: The biggest challenge isn't finding developers. It's finding a partner who will:

  • Challenge your assumptions when needed
  • Help you optimize resources rather than just billing hours
  • Take ownership of outcomes, not just deliverables
  • Bring fresh perspectives to old problems

"I need a designer and two developers for my new project."

We hear this often, but our first response is always: "Tell us what you're trying to achieve."

Why? Because after a decade of working with Nordic companies, we've learned that the initial request often doesn't match the optimal solution. Sometimes, what you think requires a team of five can be accomplished with three highly skilled professionals. Other times, you might need a completely different approach to achieve your goals more efficiently.

Here's what sets us apart:

We challenge assumptions. When a client comes to us with a €100K budget for a single delivery, we often find ways to deliver three iterations of the product for the same investment, maximizing value and reducing risk.

We optimize resources. Our hybrid Swedish-Bosnian model allows us to provide top-tier expertise at competitive rates, without compromising on quality or communication.

We think long-term. Our average client relationship spans 4+ years because we focus on sustainable solutions rather than quick fixes.

Why do Nordic companies choose us as their IT partner?

You know how these stories typically go: A project kicks off with impressive PowerPoint presentations and enthusiastic promises. Three months in, you're watching deadlines slip, budgets inflate, and "unexpected complications" multiply. Before you know it, you're trapped in the familiar spiral of increasing costs and diminishing value.

We've seen this pattern repeatedly with new clients coming to us after expensive lessons:

  • Junior developers billed at senior rates
  • Simple integrations that became six-month odysseys
  • Large teams when smaller, more agile teams would have gotten better results.

The difference between a vendor and a true partner isn't just in the contracts – it's in how we approach every aspect of collaboration. We've developed a framework that transforms typical client-vendor relationships into strategic partnerships.

Our unique Swedish-Bosnian model was built specifically to solve the common frustrations we kept hearing from Gothenburg businesses:

 

"We need high-quality development without Stockholm prices" → Our hybrid team model delivers Swedish quality at competitive rates

"Our previous consultants just did what we asked, never questioning if there was a better way" → We actively challenge assumptions and propose optimized solutions

"We waste too much time managing multiple vendors" → We provide end-to-end ownership from strategy through execution

 

Strategic value creation starts with understanding. When we begin a partnership, we don't just dive into technical specifications. Instead, we take time to understand your business context, align our goals with your KPIs, and design team structures that make sense for your organization. This isn't just about resource optimization – it's about creating a foundation for long-term success.

Communication shouldn't be a checkbox exercise. That's why we've built our collaboration model around direct access to both technical leads and management. No bureaucratic layers, no communication bottlenecks. When you need answers, you get them from the people actually doing the work. Our partners have direct lines to their technical leads, ensuring decisions are made quickly and correctly.

Knowledge transfer is woven into everything we do. Rather than creating dependency, we believe in building your team's capabilities alongside ours. Through structured documentation, regular knowledge-sharing sessions, and collaborative problem-solving workshops, we ensure that your team grows stronger with every project we undertake together.

From project execution to strategic partnership

One of our most telling success stories started with a simple request for 2-3 developers to support an in-house team. Today, that partnership has evolved into a team of seven professionals who don't just write code – they drive innovation and think ahead. The result? Their CTO now focuses on strategic initiatives while we handle the day-to-day execution. It's the kind of transformation we aim for in every partnership.

The numbers behind our promises

While others talk about potential, we focus on proven results:

  • 94% client satisfaction based on our NPS score
  • 100+ successful projects with Nordic companies
  • Zero failed deliveries in our 9-year history

But what matters most isn't our numbers - it's how we help you succeed. When clients come to us thinking they need large teams, we often show them how a smaller, more focused group can deliver better results faster.

Success stories: Real results for Nordic companies

Arvid Nilsson: From days to minutes

From IT support to strategic innovation partner

A leading Nordic B2B ecommerce company approached us with what seemed like a straightforward request: 2-3 developers to support their in-house team. Today, that partnership has evolved into a team of seven professionals who drive innovation across their platform.

"What started as staff augmentation transformed into a strategic partnership that gives me more time to focus on innovation. They don't just execute tasks; they think ahead, propose solutions, and take ownership of our success."

Key achievements:

  • Scaled development team from 2 to 7 without friction
  • Reduced development bottlenecks by 60%
  • Implemented proactive quality assurance processes
  • Developed smart product features that increased customer satisfaction

Building trust through excellence

Skepticism about nearshore development is a common initial reaction we see from potential partners. We addressed this with the leading Nordic B2B ecommerce company mentioned earlier by starting cautiously with one developer. They watched as our team member became integral to their success. This foundation of trust opened doors for expanding our partnership to include product management roles and broader system development initiatives.

Skip the sales pitch, let's solve problems

Finding the right IT partner isn't just about technical capabilities - it's about establishing a relationship built on transparency, realistic expectations, and strategic alignment. The most successful partnerships emerge when both parties approach challenges with honesty and a commitment to mutual success.

Here are the common issues companies face when working with IT partners, and how we address them:

Unclear communication: Too often, projects suffer from information gaps and misaligned expectations. Our solution is straightforward—we maintain consistent communication channels with clear updates on progress, challenges, and next steps. When issues arise, we address them immediately rather than hiding behind technical jargon or delayed responses.

Cost overruns: Budget surprises can derail even the most promising projects. We implement transparent budgeting practices from the start, clearly documenting all expenses and proactively alerting you to any potential changes that might affect the final cost. This financial clarity allows for better decision-making and prevents unexpected financial burdens.

Unrealistic technical goals: Perhaps most importantly, we don't simply execute orders without questioning their strategic value. Instead of just building what you tell us to do, we work collaboratively to determine the optimal approach that will deliver genuine business outcomes. Our decade of experience allows us to challenge assumptions when necessary and identify more efficient paths to your objectives.

This partnership approach may require more thoughtful dialogue at the outset, but it consistently delivers better results: solutions that actually solve business problems, predictable costs that respect your budget constraints, and transparent communication that builds lasting trust.

The difference between a vendor and a true partner isn't found in contracts or capabilities presentations - it's demonstrated in how challenges are addressed when they inevitably arise. That's where our approach truly shines.
