Challenge

As the publishing industry’s demand for scalable digital solutions intensified, Frisbii faced a pivotal challenge: effectively scaling their development team. Finding a sufficient number of qualified developers, especially in Germany, was particularly challenging, prompting them to explore the option of assembling a global remote workforce. However, their initial attempt at engaging developers from around the world brought forth challenges in coordinating across different time zones and continents, making the organisation of meetings and maintaining a smooth workflow significant obstacles.

Solution

By switching to a dedicated Holycode team, Frisbii gained a more coordinated development setup that complemented their globally distributed team. While their core team remains geographically dispersed, Holycode’s centralised setup helped ease time zone friction and improved alignment. This shift led to smoother communication, faster turnaround times, and a more reliable development rhythm — without compromising the flexibility of their broader setup.
