Safety through quality
Since September 27, 2013, our organizational and quality management has been certified according to the international standard ISO-9001:2015. Total Quality Management System (TQMi) covers all areas of the company and aims to document internal processes, identify interactions and define criteria and mechanisms for quality control of the processes.
As with agile software development, it is important to us to continuously develop our processes for the benefit and satisfaction of our customers, suppliers, and employees. For us, quality begins with clear, transparent processes. These are the foundation for well-trained and self-reliant employees, as well as the use of appropriate tools and resources for quality control.
We attach great importance to quality work and guarantee it as follows:
- Clear and transparent operational processes, certified according to ISO-9001:2015.
- Agile, transparent and economical project management with ongoing success monitoring.
