Scale your team,
not your risk
With GRAN, you can bridge staffing shortages immediately and ensure your projects are delivered on time.
Our Solutions: The Right Expertise at the Right Time
Core Business Refocus
The Problem: You're a specialized agency (e.g., data engineering), but a key client wants you to build a component, like a REST API, that's outside your core competency. You don't want to lose the project or dilute your brand.
Our Solution: We provide a dedicated team or individual expert to handle the non-core technical requirements. We build the component to your specifications, allowing your team to focus on what they do best.
Expertise Provided: Backend & API Engineering (Kotlin, Quarkus, PostgreSQL), Microservices Architecture, RESTful API Design (OpenAPI), API Security (OAuth, JWT).
Filling The Gap
The Problem: You've won a major tender or project, but the requirements specify a certain number of roles (e.g., two API engineers) that you don't currently have staffed.
Our Solution: We provide experienced engineers who meet the specific requirements of the tender. They integrate seamlessly into your team structure for the project's duration, ensuring you comply with the contract and can deliver successfully.
Expertise Provided: API Engineering, Backend Development, specific skills matching tender requirements.
The Bridging
The Problem: A key technical team member—like your lead engineer—is unexpectedly out of the office for an extended period (e.g., parental or medical leave), putting a critical project at risk.
Our Solution: We provide a senior-level engineer to temporarily step into the role. They quickly get up to speed on the project, maintain momentum, and ensure continuity until your team member returns.
Expertise Provided: Senior Backend Engineering, ability to rapidly onboard onto existing codebases and workflows.
