About TENADO
Rooted in Germany's Ruhr area with more than 80 employees and 30+ years of history, TENADO develops highly professional and effortless CAD software for medium-sized companies. Their mission: make complex technical work easier, faster, and more efficient for customers in trades, traffic planning, and security. With a strongly user-centric, agile development approach, quality is non-negotiable in every release.
The Challenges
Two simultaneous IT challenges, each requiring a different specialist
Test Automation for 2D and 3D Products
TENADO's agile development process for its 2D and 3D CAD product lines required complete test automation to relieve developers of manual testing tasks and consistently improve software quality, but the internal expertise to set it up from scratch was not there.
TYPO3 Website Redesign and Online Store
TENADO needed a complete web presence overhaul: modern design, latest TYPO3 version, and an integrated online shop. A specialized TYPO3 developer was required immediately, with no available capacity internally.
How ElevateX Helped
In-depth expertise and agile delivery, for both projects in parallel
ElevateX proved to be a reliable and innovative partner for TENADO. The goal was not only short-term delivery but equipping TENADO to maintain and evolve both systems independently going forward.
Test Automation
From the first days of the project, our freelance QA engineer was involved and provided critical input for the greenfield setup. The engagement covered: analysis of the existing development process, selection of Ranorex tooling, environment setup, and full implementation. Our expert also enabled TENADO to retain this knowledge in-house.
Website Redesign
Within days, ElevateX provided a highly experienced TYPO3 developer who quickly built excellent working relationships with all internal stakeholders. The site was updated to the latest TYPO3 version, equipped with modern interactive design, and the right online shop system was selected and embedded.
Why It Makes a Difference
Test Automation
Automated testing reduces the burden on TENADO's in-house developers, freeing them for creative development work. More importantly, it enables consistent delivery of the best possible software quality to TENADO's users, automatically and at scale.
Website Redesign
The redesign elevated TENADO's online presence with modernized look and feel, improved UX, and a new online shop that opens an additional revenue channel.
Our collaboration with ElevateX and their freelance specialists works without a hitch. For our challenges in test automation, we were able to quickly and purposefully develop solutions with the freelance expert and started their implementation right away. Especially the straightforward and efficient processes save us a lot of time.
ElevateX's service convinced me through and through. Just a few days after our inquiry we had the first interview with an expert for TYPO3 website development. He was a very good technical fit and we were able to start the project together without any delay. If you are looking for a fast and reliable partner for demanding IT projects, ElevateX is your go-to partner.
