Partner with IT consultants who drive real, measurable results

So, here you are. You have a critical IT project that needs to get off the ground, and you're evaluating your options. You've probably heard the same pitches from different consultancies - they'll assign you a team, promise quick delivery, and quote competitive rates.

But let's talk about what actually happens next.

Most agencies will break down your requirements, see how many developers they can assign within your budget, and start billing hours. They'll focus on delivering exactly what you asked for - nothing more, nothing less. Three months later, you're over budget with a solution that doesn't quite fit your needs.

We see this pattern every week when talking to CTOs and IT leaders across Sweden. Their teams are overwhelmed, deadlines are looming, and critical projects are falling behind. Sound familiar?

The typical solutions aren't working.

Building in-house looks straightforward on paper: post job ads, interview candidates, make offers. But in today's market, this process often takes 3-6 months. By then, you've missed deadlines and opportunities. Even worse, you might end up rushing to hire the wrong people just to fill seats.

Going the traditional IT consulting route means paying premium prices for a team that delivers exactly what you ask for - even when that's not what you actually need.

This is where we do things differently.

Here's a story we love to tell. A CTO from one of Sweden's leading B2B e-commerce companies came to us needing "just 2-3 developers" for their platform. Pretty standard request, right?

Fast forward 18 months: our team has grown to seven people, we're not just maintaining their platform but developing innovative products that drive real business growth, and the CTO actually has time to think about strategy instead of putting out fires.

What changed? 

We didn't just nod along and provide developers. We became the kind of partner that spots issues before they become problems, suggests improvements before they're asked for, and thinks about their business success as much as they do.

"I finally have time to focus on innovation," the CTO told us recently, "because I know you're not just coding - you're thinking about our business."

"I was unsure about working with a team outside Sweden," a technical director at a leading manufacturing company told us during our first meeting. Like many decision-makers, he had concerns about quality, communication, and cultural fit.

We started small - just one developer. Three months later, that developer became known throughout the company as "the one who solves everything." Soon, they added a Product Manager from our side. Today, our team is helping them develop next-generation industrial tools that are changing their industry.

What makes this work? Three things:

1. Swedish business insight + technical expertise: We combine Swedish business understanding and project management excellence with Bosnia's exceptional technical talent. Our Swedish team ensures seamless communication and alignment with your business goals, while our Bosnian developers bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions.
2. European time zone advantage: No more late-night calls or day-long delays in communication. We work in the same time zone as you. When you start your day, we're already working. When you have a question, we're there to answer it.
3. Quality that exceeds expectations:  "The quality is better than what we get from our onshore consultants," another client recently told us. Our developers don't just write code - they challenge assumptions when they see better solutions.
    

And yes, our rates are competitive. But that's not why companies choose us - they choose us because we deliver better results, faster! Our efficiency stems from our experienced team and our use of a well-tested codebase for common components such as login and user authentication, ensuring quality and speeding up development.

Now let's talk about a real problem in IT consulting that nobody wants to address: the gap between delivery and actual business impact.

Most consulting companies focus on selling you their technical expertise, methodologies, and certifications. But here's what they rarely discuss: how often IT projects fail to deliver real business value. The industry is full of projects that met technical requirements but missed the actual business goals.

Here's what typically happens:

• Company needs technical help
• Consulting firm assigns developers
• Code gets written
• Bills get paid

But did the business actually improve?

We've flipped this model on its head. Here's a recent example:

A leading Nordic industrial supplier faced a complex challenge: their e-commerce platform managed 35,000+ products, served 4,000 customers, and connected multiple critical systems - SAP for ERP, PIM C4 for product management, and Magento for their online store.

With their Magento 1 platform reaching end-of-life, they needed more than just a technical upgrade. They needed a partner who could understand their business complexities and design a solution that would transform their digital presence.

This wasn't just about moving to a new platform. Their team spent days on tasks that should take minutes - from data indexing to system synchronization. Every product update became a time-consuming process that affected their entire operation.

We started with discovery - understanding their business model, their challenges, and their vision for the future. Then we built a solution that included:

• Custom APIs connecting their critical systems
• Azure-based infrastructure for better performance
• Elastic search implementation for faster product discovery
• Automated processes for data synchronization

The impact? Processes that once took days now complete in minutes. Their sales team spends time serving customers instead of managing system updates. Customer self-service features have reduced manual workload while improving satisfaction.

As their Project Sales Manager put it: 

"The 110% commitment we received from ZenDev was truly remarkable."

This difference in approach comes from our unique background. Having built and scaled our own successful products (like our research tool Avidnote, now used by 70,000+ researchers worldwide), we understand business challenges from the inside.

When you work with us, you're not just getting developers. You're getting a team that has:

• Built and scaled real products in the market
• Experienced the same challenges you face
• Learned what works (and what doesn't) firsthand

This means we can spot opportunities others miss and solve problems others don't even see.

As an experienced IT company in Gothenburg, we've seen firsthand how the traditional consulting model falls short. That's why we've built our practice around delivering business outcomes, not just technical deliverables.

Project management

We don't just manage timelines - we manage outcomes. Our project managers understand both technology and business, ensuring solutions align with your goals.

Mobile development

From native apps to cross-platform solutions, we build mobile applications that users actually want to use. We built a mobile app that digitized a Swedish foster care agency's operations. Now, social workers access documents instantly, contractors manage events digitally, and families get faster support - all through one secure platform.

Web solutions

We specialize in scalable, high-performance web applications. Hidroxa's e-commerce platform saw a 33% revenue increase after our optimization work.

DevOps

Our DevOps team implements automated deployment pipelines and continuous integration practices that help development teams deploy code more frequently and reliably. This means faster updates, fewer errors, and better security for your applications.

QA

We build quality checks into every step of development, not just at the end. This helps us catch and fix issues early. Our work with Greenfee365, a global golf booking platform, shows how good QA practices lead to stable systems that perform well.

Logistics

Our logistics solutions streamline operations and automate workflows. By digitizing manual processes for Cargotec Kalmar →, we improved efficiency by 103% through smart automation and AI-powered solutions. Our custom integrations and automated workflows consistently reduce processing times from days to minutes.

E-commerce

We build and optimize e-commerce platforms that drive real growth. Our recent projects speak for themselves: Magnetlabbet → achieved a 445% increase in paid conversion rates while Greenfee365 saw 121% growth in order values. From healthcare to retail, we create solutions that scale with your business.

Real Estate

We specialize in property management platforms that digitize complex workflows. For a leading Nordic property tech company, we built a smart building platform that unifies control of digital locks, sensors, smart delivery boxes, and intercom systems through a single interface. Our solution helps property managers monitor building performance, manage tenant access, and automate daily operations - all from one platform.

When you come to us with a $25,000 budget for an MVP, we won't just break down your requirements and start coding. We use a Build-Measure-Learn process, explained in our blog post “How we work”, to make the most of your budget. Instead, we'll ask:

• What hypothesis are you trying to test?
• What's the minimum we need to build to test it?
• How will we measure success?

This exact approach helped Meela Health secure €2.6 million in seed funding. We built their MVP focusing on core features that proved their business model, rather than burning budget on nice-to-have features.

How we actually work

We offer flexible engagement models - dedicated teams, staff augmentation, or project-based work – always adhering to our core principles for maximum efficiency and value. We pay attention to:

1. Direct & transparent communication: No account managers or middlemen. You work directly with the team building your solution, with complete transparency every step of the way.
2. Flexible scaling: Start small, prove value, then scale. That's how we've helped numerous clients grow their teams as needed.
3. Knowledge integration: We become part of your team, sharing knowledge and best practices in both directions.

If you're tired of IT consulting that just fills seats rather than solves problems, let's talk. We'll start with understanding your business challenges, not selling you development hours.

To remind you once again, our Swedish-Bosnian setup offers unique advantages:

• Swedish business understanding and project management
• Direct access to Bosnia's top technical talent
• European time zone alignment
• Significant cost advantages without compromising quality

Contact us for a no-pressure discussion about your needs. We'll be direct about whether we can help - and if we can't, we'll tell you that too.

What our clients consistently tell us is that working with ZenDev feels different. Maybe it's time you experienced that difference yourself.
