Ongoing engineering capacity for DACH SMEs
Extended Workbench
You get a dedicated engineering team on retainer — without the overhead of full-time hires. Internal tools, automations, and technical support when you need it.
The Problem
The Problem
No internal tech team
You don't have developers, and hiring is slow and expensive.
Ad-hoc doesn't scale
Finding freelancers for each project wastes time and context.
Agencies are overkill
You don't need a full project — you need ongoing capacity.
Tools are breaking
Your internal systems need fixes, updates, and improvements.
No one owns tech
Nobody in your company is responsible for technical decisions.
Growing pains
You're scaling but your tools and processes aren't keeping up.
