Helping push the renewable energy revolution
Problem
A joint venture between Shell and NWG Group intends to secure 10% of DACH's EV charging station and solar panel operation market share. They need fully automated business processes and customer portals to manage their rapid growth.
Solution
In close collaboration, we designed and built a bespoke, cloud-first product suite to meet their needs. It includes a product for storing millions of real-time metering sensor datapoints, one for real-time synchronization between various IT systems, and an integrated customer and partner portal.
Outcomes
The company can now confidently engage with major players in the German market, leveraging automation for data and payment processing. The product suite has enabled the company's growth, effectively managing large volumes of data and traffic.
Revolutionizing professional sports
Problem
A markerless motion tracking system for live professional sports events was developed, necessitating updated on-site application management, tracking processes, and a new analytics portal due to the system's success. The increase in data and tracked events presented significant challenges to maintaining high data quality.
Solution
We established a data warehouse to consolidate tracking data and sessions, generating daily quality reports and alerts. We formulated a containerization and update strategy specific to modern sports facilities, enhanced existing high-performance compute pipelines to accommodate new product requirements, and helped design a versatile analytics portal to process various sports and movement data.
Outcomes
Originally designed for sports labs and professional baseball, the product is now being successfully deployed in numerous contexts, including professional soccer, basketball, fencing, and Olympic events.
Creating a legal and compliance data hub
Problem
Major corporations needed an accessible, user-friendly method for employees to engage with compliance information, usually compiled by a law firm but often neglected due to its storage in hard-to-reach areas. Employees not having access to such information was a huge risk for triggering non-compliance issues.
Solution
We developed a CMS-based progressive web application that is easy to use and capable of offline operation. It features advanced search capabilities, robust security, and efficient user management, enabling quick access to relevant information.
Outcomes
The web app has transformed the compliance landscape within these organizations. The user-friendly design and advanced search functionality have led to increased usage and heightened awareness of compliance matters. The decrease in non-compliance issues and the continuous, offline availability of vital information have fostered a proactive compliance culture across the enterprises.
Helping doctors find better treatment for rare liver diseases
Problem
Despite the range of rare liver diseases, few treatments exist. To address this, the EU has sponsored years of decentralized data collection across European medical universities. To utilize machine learning, this data needed merging into a single schema.
Solution
We partnered with internal engineers and medical staff to define a common schema iteratively. Then, we automated the target schema creation from the agreed-upon human-readable specification and executed the data migration.
Outcomes
This successful data consolidation into a unified schema has advanced analysis capabilities, paving the way for machine learning models that support more accurate diagnoses and treatments. It has spurred medical research and offers promise for new targeted therapies for diverse rare liver diseases.
Building the next generation social volunteering platform
Problem
A non-tech startup required a complete overhaul of their corporate volunteering platform to meet enterprise needs, including a novel chat-based system for linking volunteers and nonprofits.
Solution
Following several event storming sessions, our team created a cost-effective, event-driven, data-centric solution, making use of third-party services. After confirming the user flows via usability tests, we assembled a team of expert engineers for implementation.
Outcomes
We flawlessly launched the platform to multiple enterprise clients, onboarding thousands of users. We then transitioned to economical maintenance mode and prepared for handover to a future in-house CTO.
Overcoming the financial hurdle for forwarders in the logistics sector
Problem
In logistics it is common practice to pay the forwarder only after (t30+) receipt of the goods, while most of the costs for transportation are incurred directly. Especially small businesses suffer from this discrepancy. Often they have the capacity, but there is a lack of liquidity.
Solution
With the Kentra start-up we aimed to close the gap by connecting forwarders and funders and enabling respective lending in a secure and well-rounded way. We developed an API in which the forwarder can apply for loan via his order invoice. The calculation is documented and well prepared for the funder, which enabled next-day transactions.
Outcomes
Due to framework agreements concluded in advance, forwarders got payed loans from their funders within 24h. The fast procedure allowed the them to accept proposal and helped them to consolidate their position in the business.

Let's see how we can be of help !
The CTO-as-a-Service model allowed us to fully focus on our startup business while seeing our IT in good hands. We have been significantly supported during funding and later in IT staffing, planning and implementation including the transition to a scalable maintenance model.
