Accelerating Development for Strøm – A Danish Digital Transformation Studio

16 February 2025
Strøm, a fast-growing Danish digital transformation studio, was struggling to keep up with development demands across multiple projects. They needed a flexible, skilled team that could step in and accelerate progress without slowing things down with lengthy onboarding.
Challenge
With too few developers and too many tasks, Strom’s projects were falling behind. The lack of versatile full-stack developers made it difficult to deliver features, implement fixes, and respond to client requests on time.

Full Case Study

When Strøm approached us, their situation was familiar: the company was growing, but the development team couldn’t keep up. Their backlog was growing faster than their team could handle, with feature requests piling up and deadlines slipping. The root of the problem wasn’t just the workload – it was the team’s skill set.

Strøm’s developers were highly skilled but specialized. Each person was comfortable with one or two technologies, which created bottlenecks when tasks required knowledge beyond their expertise. Switching context was slow, onboarding new developers was cumbersome, and key projects were lagging.

What We Did

We provided a team of experienced full-stack developers who quickly integrated with Strom’s existing processes. Our developers’ broad skill sets allowed them to work across various stacks, significantly increasing development speed and productivity.

We took on the challenge with a full-scale development approach:

Our solution wasn’t just to add more people; it was to bring in the right kind of developers – full-stack experts who could adapt to Strøm’s diverse technology landscape without missing a beat. Here’s how we approached it:

  1. Understanding the Current Bottlenecks: We started with a deep dive into Strøm’s projects and workflows. We identified which tasks were stuck, which technologies were slowing things down, and which projects needed the most urgent attention.

  2. Deploying Versatile Full-Stack Developers: Our team consisted of developers who weren’t limited to a single frontend or backend language. They were familiar with multiple stacks – from PHP and Python on the backend to React and Vue.js on the frontend. This flexibility meant they could jump into different projects without needing weeks of onboarding.

  3. Improving Cross-Team Collaboration: We helped streamline communication between Strøm’s teams by introducing best practices for code reviews, task management, and knowledge sharing. This reduced context-switching time and kept everyone aligned.

  4. Delivering Value Quickly: Our developers focused on delivering quick wins early – tackling critical bugs, implementing requested features, and reducing the most visible backlog items. This immediate impact helped rebuild client confidence and gave the internal team breathing room.

Why It Was Important to the Business: In software development, speed matters – but so does quality. Strøm was at risk of losing clients due to missed deadlines and slow feature releases. By injecting a team of adaptable developers into the workflow, we not only sped up delivery but also improved code quality and team morale.

Our developers didn’t just work through tasks; they also shared their knowledge, helping Strøm’s team adopt more efficient practices and become more self-sufficient.

The Result

Development velocity increased dramatically, helping Strom meet deadlines, satisfy clients, and reduce backlog pressure.
  • Development speed increased significantly within the first few months.

  • The backlog of tasks was reduced dramatically.

  • Client satisfaction improved as promised features were delivered faster


Lessons Learned & Insights:
This project highlighted the importance of adaptability in a development team. When your developers can move across different projects and tech stacks without friction, your business can respond to market demands faster.

From Chaos to Clarity: How NATALI Transformed Salon Management with a Custom CRM and Booksy automation

NATALI, a well-established hair salon business, was using Booksy for managing bookings, but it lacked advanced features for customer segmentation and automation. They needed a more tailored solution to track salon performance in real-time and gain deeper insights into their customer base.
Challenge
While Booksy handled basic appointment scheduling, it fell short when it came to business analytics and automation. NATALI struggled to segment their customers, track business performance across multiple locations, and implement automated processes to enhance customer engagement and retention. Additionally, their data was scattered across multiple systems, requiring manual merging of reports every month just to get a clear picture of their business performance. This process was time-consuming, error-prone, and prevented them from making real-time decisions.

What We Did

We developed a custom Salon CRM that seamlessly integrated with their existing booking system while providing advanced data visualization dashboards. More importantly, we consolidated all fragmented data into a single, reliable platform, eliminating the need for manual data merging and giving NATALI instant access to real-time insights.

The Result

NATALI now has a fully customized solution tailored to their business needs, enabling them to make data-driven decisions, enhance customer retention, and streamline daily operations.

Developing a Custom BWC System for KTA and the Polish Police

KTA needed a reliable, secure system for managing Body-Worn Cameras (BWC) for the Polish police. The system required custom software and hardware solutions, along with passing stringent government tests.
Challenge
The police needed a platform to record, upload, and manage BWC footage while ensuring secure evidence handling. The solution had to pass rigorous testing at the National Institute of Telecommunications.

What We Did

We built a complete BWC system from scratch, including a custom UI, a secure backend, microservices, and proprietary docking stations for automatic uploads and charging.

The Result

The system passed all government tests, streamlined evidence management.

Strengthening CyberTarcza Security for Fujitsu

Fujitsu, a global tech leader, needed a thorough security audit for their CyberTarcza (CyberGuard) platform. They were concerned about potential vulnerabilities in the system, which was originally developed by an external team.
Challenge
When Fujitsu contacted us, their CyberTarcza (CyberGuard) platform was already in production, protecting sensitive infrastructure. However, the system’s code had been written by a third-party team that, as it turned out, had cut a few corners. The development team lacked experience with secure coding practices, and the software had never undergone a proper security review.

What We Did

We performed a comprehensive security audit, combining manual code analysis with advanced internal tools. Our team identified multiple anti-patterns and critical security flaws that could have compromised the system’s integrity. We then delivered a detailed report outlining each issue, its potential impact, and the recommended fixes.

The Result

The audit helped Fujitsu close security gaps, improve performance, and pass a subsequent external security review with confidence.

Turning Data into Actionable Insights for GuidePoint Systems

GuidePoint Systems, a leader in vehicle tracking and management, needed better visibility into their data. Their teams were surrounded by numbers but lacked a clear, accessible way to turn that data into useful insights.
Challenge
The company had large amounts of data about stock, dealers, and vehicles, but it was scattered across systems and difficult to interpret. Sales teams struggled to use this data to drive conversations with clients, and decision-makers didn’t have a real-time view of performance. Without clarity, growth opportunities were slipping by.

What We Did

We built a custom data visualization solution that made their numbers come to life. Instead of disconnected reports and endless spreadsheets, GuidePoint now had intuitive dashboards tailored to different teams. Salespeople could see live updates on inventory and dealer performance, while leadership could monitor overall business health in real-time.

The Result

While we don’t disclose exact figures, GuidePoint experienced noticeable improvements in performance soon after implementation. Sales teams reported more confident interactions with clients, operations saw better stock control, and leadership could finally make decisions based on current data instead of month-old reports.
