How T Comm Telematics accelerated growth by expanding their embedded systems and embedded software development team with Cloud++

Challenge: addressing the shortage of embedded systems and embedded software development expertise

As T Comm Telematics experienced rapid growth, they needed additional developers. Recognizing the critical role of embedded systems in their operations, the company was looking for a suitable partner to address their development needs. It was crucial for T Comm Telematics to find a solution that would not only bring in the needed talent, but would also align with their long-term objectives for success and continuous production.

"At the moment we are growing very fast. So, we were looking for a partner for hard- and firmware development," explains Bert Hendriks, CEO of T Comm Telematics. That was a challenge, as Bert elaborates: “It was very difficult - or even impossible - to find good engineering capacity in the Netherlands."

Solution: expanding the team with skilled embedded systems engineers and embedded software developers.

While searching for suitable embedded systems expertise, T Comm Telematics discovered Cloud++. After an initial meeting to assess T Comm Telematics' requirements, Cloud++ took a deep dive into what it would take to add developers with the right domain expertise who could seamlessly integrate with the team's development philosophy.

Cloud++ sourced embedded systems engineers and embedded software developers within a two-week timeframe. Following a thorough application process, T Comm Telematics started the collaboration and onboarding of the developers. Within weeks, they experienced the benefits of working with the new developers who quickly adopted the T Comm way of working.

Key Results

Time-to-market: within 3-4 weeks, the Cloud++ engineers were fully integrated into T Comm's team and products, immediately adding value.

The expanded team of T-Comm now works across multiple countries, including the Netherlands, Romania, and Brazil, fostering a diverse and skilled workforce.

Mehdi, product manager at T Comm, highlights the effectiveness of the collaboration: "We are very clear on what we want and Cloud++ is very clear on what they are doing. So, we are always on the same page."

Results: Seamless integration and fast added value

The partnership with Cloud++ delivered great results for T Comm Telematics:

Within 3-4 weeks, the Cloud++ engineers were fully integrated into T Comm's team and products, immediately adding value.
Cloud++ provided embedded software (firmware) engineers, delivering T Comm the quality needed.
