Grinteq

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Svefi Academy is one of 250 Liberal Adult Education Institutions in Sweden. Svefi's staff consists of 20 teachers and trainers, and we have about 700 students from Sweden and abroad who attend our long-term courses in all types of learning environments. 

I'm one of the project managers responsible for coordinating with other schools, developing new content for Svefi's courses, finding new ways of teaching content, and interacting with students.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GrinTeq?

We were participating in an international project together with other educational institutions from three European countries. For the project, we needed a testing platform to test the students' knowledge before, during, and after completing courses. 

The learning platforms that we were using at the time had in-built testing modules that always came with certain limitations. These were often very frustrating for teachers trying to customize them. That’s why we decided to create a customized solution that would be easy to use for both teachers and students while having all of the functionalities that we needed. 

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to have a testing solution that would work on all kinds of platforms, from phones to desktops. It had to have an attractive and intuitive design/audio-visual experience, and we wanted to be able to add increased functionality as appropriate. It also needed to be easy to use for both teachers and students. We expected it to become a motivating tool for students to test their knowledge and to start or proceed with their studies.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Since none of the participating organizations in the project had adequate developers, we chose from a pool of vendors that we’d worked with before. Out of the three considered, GrinTeq offered the best in terms of quality and cost. We also liked their attitude during the negotiation stage, and our team felt that they were the most reliable partner that we could trust.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

GrinTeq designed and developed a web-based testing platform for the educational organizations that we cooperate with. The project started with the development of the technical specification based on user stories. GrinTeq produced the specs, and we and our partnering organizations approved it. 

After we agreed on the workflows and approved the mockups, we went on to the production phase, which consisted of two-week sprints. After each release, we would test the functionality of the platform, provide feedback, and suggest improvements. With every sprint, new functionality and features were added, and they implemented all of our suggestions until the testing platform was fully operational.

What was the team composition?

From the vendor’s side, there were five staff members involved: a project manager, a designer, two developers, and a tester. The project manager was our primary point of contact. That person was good at channeling communication to the other team members and provided us with feedback.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

As a result of the project, we have received a customized solution for testing students. It was launched on time and met our expectations (e.g., design, intuitive interface, feature set, and functionality). Our teachers now have access to a tool that they are 100% happy with.

In addition, our students are motivated to use it. It is no longer boring to do tests, and the platform can be easily adjusted to meet different needs and learning environments.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We were happy with the project management since we met all of our goals on time. We used Jira to plan and implement project activities as well as monitoring the progress of the project. We used Skype for daily/weekly communication, getting updates and solving minor issues.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Even though we never met, we were still able to plan and successfully implement a rather big web development project using online communication tools. This proves that the GrinTeq’s team is experienced in doing these kinds of projects remotely. We were impressed that all of the project stages were completed in due time, and I appreciated how smoothly the implementation went.

Are there any areas for improvement?

We have no complaints—it was just a positive experience in all the areas, and it feels like we had a perfect project.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Uniqrn is a product design studio which helps clients to identify business opportunities, prepare business model designs, and prepare product-market fit with further solution elaboration and UX/UI design.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GrinTeq?

They provided consulting and development services to support a set of e-commerce projects for our clients. GrinTeq helped to scale up the client's local development team by providing developers on a remote basis.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed to execute the development piece according to the solution and UX/UI we have designed.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We were looking for a service provider in various locations and shortlisted several companies that were ready to set up a team of remote developers quickly. We chose GrinTeq because of their flexibility and affordable rates.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We had a face-to-face meeting at their office, where we described our tech needs. They then arranged interviews with several developers who were experts in the technologies we were most interested in. They helped to scale up our client's local development team by providing developers on a remote basis. They worked on UI/UX design for e-commerce projects.

What was the team composition?

GrinTeq provided us with two software engineers and a QA tester. We also had a dedicated account manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

Before this cooperation, our biggest concern was a lack of time. Their team helped us to boost our development and provided smooth delivery and deployment. They were also very competitive in terms of technical skill and affordability.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We managed the team ourselves. It was very fast and flexible. The team worked according to our internal development standards. We communicated through Slack, Jira, and Skype. With the development team, we communicated during our weekly feedback sessions and during our face-to-face meetings at their office. We have been pleasantly surprised by their strong language skills.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

They’re very proactive. Since the company is pretty young, they care about clients and want to exceed expectations.

Are there any areas for improvement?

They can take some time to prepare their resources—two or three weeks in our case. However, that’s still faster than the onboarding time needed to hire internally.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a co-founder and CTO of StackTome, an SaaS company in the advertising automation space.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GrinTeq?

We wanted them to build our platform’s architecture based on the requirements we provided.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed development resources to build our custom solution in time to launch.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

They were one of the eight staff augmentation providers we sent an RFP to. We liked their approach the most and felt their price was appropriate.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

After visiting our office to better understand the project, including the volume of data we were working with, they set up Trello and Confluence boards for us to collaborate. They built the architecture in parallel with our own development process. They delivered a demo product after 2–3 sprint cycles that we presented to management for approval.

What was the team composition?

I interacted with five developers, a marketing manager, and a project manager who interfaced with the team daily. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

GrinTeq’s deliverables successfully exceeded the expectations set out in our requirements. They incorporated additional features into our product and delivered a week ahead of schedule, despite the project’s complexities. We weren’t sure we’d set them an achievable goal, so we were very pleased by their ability to deliver.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

I held Slack meetings with each team member every Monday as part of our agile process and was aware of every task they worked on. They responded to all issues and were great about communicating and documenting everything. 

We held several brainstorming discussions and had team-building opportunities every month. They brought on additional staff as needed and provided me the option to visit their team in-person every month.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their dedicated developers were highly responsive and flexible in gaining the skills we wanted. I’ve never worked with another team that was as adjustable or cohesive as they were. They contributed original ideas and value for us and were proud of our development results, which made me think of them as a genuine partner. We had a lot of fun along the way.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

Work with their team on an agile basis and be open to their feedback and ideas because brainstorming discussions worked very well for us. Some of the insights they provided from sprint to sprint were better than anything we thought of.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive at NexDevTech, an IT company. We partner with businesses to deliver full-cycle software development, leveraging senior talent and AI-driven processes for efficient, predictable, and cost-effective product solutions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Grinteq?

We had a client who needed a cross-platform mobile app with AI-powered features.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We hired Grinteq to design and develop the full solution from start to finish. The tricky part was making the AI actually useful and not just bolted on. Grinteq built a system that pulls data from our API endpoints, learns what users care about, and shows them relevant information automatically. It sounds simple, but the architecture behind it is what made it work.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from Grinteq.

How did you come to work with Grinteq?

We found them through a referral. We selected Grinteq because they had strong experience in cross-platform mobile development and clearly understood how to approach the AI part of the project. Their communication was also straightforward, and they showed they could handle the project end to end.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from January 2026–March 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We got a fully functional app in just 10 weeks that actually works. The AI features feel natural; users get relevant content without having to search for it. The whole thing is stable enough to launch and scale. Plus, we can easily maintain and improve it ourselves because everything is well documented.

How did Grinteq perform from a project management standpoint?

Grinteq’s project management was well organized. We had weekly syncs, and they delivered milestones on time. The team stayed responsive throughout the project and was quick to adjust when our needs changed.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Grinteq was technical but not preachy about it. They actually understood what we needed, not just “add AI somewhere,” but how to make the whole system work together so users benefit from it. The documentation was surprisingly detailed; we could actually understand and extend the product ourselves after they handed it off.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I’m very happy with the results and would definitely reach out to them again. There’s not much to improve as of now.
