Our Approach
Holistic & united.
Solving technology challenges requires holistic partnership and a united team, not just headcount. Many firms will lease you a handful of bodies; at Haefele, we assemble a tailored blend of expertise—development, data, AI, low-code and more—and then tap into our wider team’s insights to guide every facet of delivery.
Seamlessly integrated, fully committed.
Too often, cross-functional, distributed teams stall over flawed processes, patchy agile practice, missing environments or CI/CD, shaky dynamics and high churn—issues that demand more than a few dedicated hands. That’s where our holistic approach adds real value. Whether you engage us for a core squad or a broader crew, you gain access to our collective know-how. We help you strengthen process, nurture teams and tackle technical challenges with confidence—keeping your project moving forward at every step.
How do we approach team augmentation?
1
We are open and transparent
Our estimates & rate cards are transparent and granular, calculated by location, discipline, and seniority of each individual, not to hide behind obfuscated or blended rates.
2
We take a delivery-first approach
We work closely with our clients to understand the desired business outcome, and build a team with that in mind, regularly monitoring our delivery against those outcomes.
3
South Africa as the sweet spot
Our growing core of talent is based in South Africa, presenting our clients with the stronger offshore alternative to the usual suspects in Eastern Europe, India and the Far East. South Africa provides a sweet spot for UK offshore development, providing educated and talented tech skills, at cost effective rates – and our clients enjoy teams strongly aligned in Time-zone, Language, and Culture – aspects greatly contributing to team health, knowledge-sharing, communication, and productivity.

Why should teams augment?
Flexible capacity
Speed to market
Diverse perspectives
Augmenting brings in fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and different approaches to problem-solving, leading to more creative solutions and improved decision-making.
Access to best practice
Augmenting the team provides access to specialized skills and expertise that may not be readily available within the internal team. Additionally, our approach gives our clients access to our entire team for expertise that may not even exist in the augmented team.
Empowered team
When done right, augmenting with external professionals can see existing team members grow in experience, empowering them in their roles, resulting in a more well-rounded and skilled internal team post-augmentation.
Lower attrition and risk
Augmenting with the right external professionals can often reduce an internal team’s attrition/churn due to the increase in team engagement, and reduces the risk of any unforeseen challenges or resignations.
Looking forward to connecting with you.
