Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Our partnership with Automat Studio has spanned nearly 20 years. They have acted as our strategic creative partner through three key phases of our company's maturity: 
•Phase 1: Inception (2006 - NesCo): Establishing the foundational identity for our initial IT services business. 
• Phase 2: Transformation (2014 - Bits Group): A complete corporate rebranding when we expanded into a group structure. Automat Studio created a unified visual system that connected our IT sector with our new Security and Construction divisions. 
• Phase 3: Scale & Industrial Application (2019 - Present): A strategic update to support our heavy infrastructure growth. This focused on physical branding—applying our identity to large-scale assets, including our fleet of excavators, trucks, and field equipment. 
Since our operations are deeply integrated with partners like A1 and government contracts, we rely less on a public website and more on this physical brand authority that Automat Studio builds for us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Premium Market Positioning. Automat’s design ensures our physical fleet commands respect on-site. Whether for IT distribution or civil engineering, we now visually compete with top-tier international firms, establishing immediate trust with stakeholders. 
Increased Contract Win Rate. The professionalized identity was a key differentiator in securing high-value government and corporate tenders. The cohesive brand architecture validated our capacity to handle complex, large-scale infrastructure projects. 
Seamless Brand Scalability. Over 20 years, the brand system has effortlessly adapted to our expansion from a local IT shop to a multi-vertical enterprise. This long-term consistency has built cumulative brand equity that a fragmented approach would have missed.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Automat Studio’s workflow is seamless. Despite the complexity of our requests—ranging from digital assets to vehicle wraps for heavy machinery—they deliver on time. We communicate directly, and they operate more like a strategic partner than a vendor, often anticipating our needs before we articulate them.

What was your primary form of communication with Automat?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their ability to practice "Systems Thinking." It is rare to find a designer who can successfully brand a delicate IT product and a rugged construction project simultaneously. Automat Studio managed to create a brand language that connects these opposing worlds perfectly. They don't just make things look good; they understand the business lifecycle.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Automat could have done differently?

Nothing comes to mind. Over 20 years, they have consistently adapted to our growth.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Automat Studio handles our branding and most digital design needs as an extension of our company. Milan can take vague or complex problems and turn them into clear, practical designs – from visual identity and pitch decks to campaign graphics, websites, and other assets we rely on.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Their work has helped us present our projects and partners in a professional and recognizable way. We consistently receive positive feedback on how our materials look, and many designs are reused across campaigns and events because they work so well. Files are well prepared, and the final materials always look professional.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Communication is simple and efficient. We share the idea, context, and deadlines, and they come back with clear proposals that usually need only small refinements. They respect deadlines, understand production constraints, and are flexible when we have to move quickly. We see it as having a senior designer without hiring in-house.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

We’re most impressed by their ability to move between very different contexts – corporate, municipal, cultural, hospitality – while keeping each project visually coherent and appropriate for its audience. They care about details, from typography to print specs, and at the same time bring strong creative ideas that make the work stand out. We also value that we always work directly with Milan as the principal designer, rather than being passed to juniors, so the quality and accountability are always consistent.

If you need a long-term partner who can handle both creative direction and production-ready design across print and digital, Automat Studio is a very good choice.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Automat could have done differently?

The only thing we sometimes wish for is even more of their time, because we tend to send many different requests at once. Overall, we’re very satisfied with the collaboration.
