From enterprise to start-ups, we craft high-performance dev teams for end-to-end delivery.
Dev teams fail to deliver all the time.
They fail to deliver for countless reasons. Barriers in culture, time-zone & language. High developer churn, low developer engagement. Too much talk, not enough initiative. Too little skills, too many egos. Too little Agile adoption, too much Agile adoption. Obscure process & poor planning. And that’s just month 2.
Whatever the reason, it’s time they deliver. This is why we exist.
Where form meets function.
Whether you’re navigating a concept to MVP, or MVP to market, innovation takes a village – a village of specialists covering both form and function – from data-driven research, user-centric design and UI/UX, to scalable system architecture and agile development and continuous deployment.
We partner on delivery. We partner in innovation. We are Haefele.
Recently partnered with...
"We have a longstanding relationship with Haefele, and in the almost 20 years that we’ve been working together, they’ve continued to bring valuable advice and knowledge through their experience."
Packaging Product Specialist - Tesco 
“We’ve been really impressed with the work Haefele has been providing. We've been really happy with their capabilities, the high calibre of their team members and their willingness to deliver has been felt from day one.”
Chief Operating Officer – VicAsset 
“Our internal developer was familiar with the quality of South African development teams, so we quickly realised Haefele would be a great fit for what we needed, with competitive rates, friendly time zone and no language barriers”.
Chief Operating Officer – VicAsset
“One of the great things about Haefele is that we have dedicated resources working on our project who we were able to choose through an interview process to match skillset and culture. They feel very much like part of our team.”
Product Owner - VicAsset
“The Haefele Team feel like they're already a part of Tesco. They never fail to impress, from their high development standards, demonstrable technical knowledge and honest advice.”
Packaging Product Specialist - Tesco
“The system modernisation made our artwork approval even more efficient and facilitated transparency and collaboration between all involved parties. After completing the migration to Azure, we saw a significant decrease in infrastructure cost.”
Packaging Product Specialist - Tesco
"Following the BAMS Development with Haefele, we've seen 3,300 users onboarded. Tesco’s team is spending significantly less time on admin tasks and user training and saved a 6-figure cost-saving over 2 years.“
Former Lead Brand Manager for digital assets - Tesco
"We chose Haefele to develop our BAMS System given their long-running experience working in Tesco across numerous projects over the last 10 years. They understand our business and truly work as an extension of our team.“
Former Lead Brand Manager for digital assets - Tesco
How we work
Full-service or Augmented teams
Our partnerships often take the shape of a flexible full-service, cross-functional team providing BA, Architecture, Development and QA talent to deliver on an end-to-end project, or as a collaborative, augmented team, providing just the specific talent or skill missing around your table.
Experienced Agile Development
All our projects work towards the Agile methodology, engaging clients in varying industries at varying degrees of Agile maturity. Our SCRUM literate teams have come to enjoy assisting our clients in that journey towards the more iterative process, higher release frequency, and achieving shorter/faster steps towards business value.
Proven Low Developer
Churn
Developer churn is an important metric in your choice of software partner, not just their cost and quality. In fact, the rate of developer churn will drive your partner’s cost and quality – a software partner who cannot minimise developer churn, cannot maintain cost nor quality. We’re proud that as our team approaches 60 professionals, we record a mere 9 resignations over 14 years.
Specialist in Microsoft & Azure Stacks
As the technology landscape ever changes, we do engage in adjacent technologies, frameworks and languages that add value to the Microsoft & Azure offering, whether that be in Cloud services (AWS, Google) and other language sets (e.g. TypeScript, Python), although balanced to not be at the expense of our depth in Microsoft & Azure.
Offshore, Onshore, Hybrid & Travelling Teams
We realise that many projects benefit from an onshore or hybrid onshore/offshore team most expressed with an onshore Business Analyst able to engage stakeholders onshore while development and testing continue offshore in South Africa.
Challenges Beyond
Code
As we’ve seen with some of our clients, not all software needs point to development resource – and sometimes the partnership is less about writing code, and more about improving the challenges upstream and downstream of that code and adding value in the broader software process.
