Founded in 1731 in Solingen, Germany, ZWILLING is one of the oldest brands in the world. It is a global enterprise represented in 100 countries worldwide, a brand with 290 years of history that builds a future of kitchen appliances and technologies.
Among other products, the ZWILLING department of innovations develops a mobile application with features like connected devices management, electronics shop, etc. But the development process was complicated: the application was written from scratch three times by different vendors, using different technologies.
By May 2021, the ZWILLING department of innovations had a goal to build new, 4th, stable and user-friendly native Android and iOS applications that would comply with their requirements. They partnered with Brightgrove to extend their internal development team with high-class specialists.

On May 31st, we signed a contract, but our first specialist, Senior iOS Developer, started work already on May 5th. We wanted to start cooperation as quickly as possible, moving forward with mutual respect and trust. To do so, we started thinking about suitable candidates during the pre-sale phase. The client had specific requirements for team setup that we discussed and altered together.
