The Zartis developers were able to pitch in their expertise in effective remote working. Working together, Zartis and Kaluza were able to set up highly efficient processes and workflows optimized for remote collaboration. This included establishing proper communication processes to ensure everyone is kept in the loop.

Technical expertise

The Results

We experienced a period of rapid growth and needed to scale up one of our teams quickly. Zartis was pivotal in enabling us to do this, sourcing a team of high-calibre engineers in Madrid and taking care of all of the logistics from interviewing to the provision of office space and IT equipment. The engineers and Zartis in general are professional, reliable and a pleasure to work with.
