Challenges faced by CtrlPrint:

CtrlPrint faced hurdles in scaling their product development to meet growing demands. Finding technical talent in Sweden with the right expertise in their technology stack and a deep understanding of their business domain proved challenging, making it hard to accelerate innovation at the pace they needed.

Additionally, CtrlPrint recognised the value of partnering with a product development team in a time zone closely aligned with their Stockholm base to enable seamless collaboration and efficient communication. Alongside this, they aimed to optimise development costs without compromising the high-quality standards essential to their business goals.

The Collaboration Approach

CtrlPrint turned to Creative Software for an extended engineering team to complement their Stockholm-based product development crew. This partnership integrates a skilled team from Sri Lanka, led by a Technical Team Lead, with CtrlPrint’s in-house product managers and engineers in Sweden. The team comprises specialised full-stack software engineers and quality assurance experts who work hand-in-hand with the Swedish team daily.

This setup ensures a smooth, ongoing development process where communication flows effortlessly, and everyone stays aligned on priorities and outcomes.
