Engineering Excellence Across Key Industries
When internal R&D is overloaded or hiring stalls — we keep your roadmap on track
Many OEMs and technology vendors face the same challenge: multiple development programs running in parallel, growing product portfolios, and not enough engineers or tech skills to deliver everything on time.

How We Work Together
Your processes, our people — one synchronized workflow
Our dedicated teams are not freelancers or contractors. They are self-managed, full-cycle engineering units aligned with your roadmap and internal standards.
We adapt to your workflow — whether it’s Scrum, Kanban, or a classic V-model — and operate as a seamless part of your organization.
Collaboration formats
– Dedicated Pod: a self-contained team with its own lead and defined scope
– Extended R&D: a team integrated into your engineering department with full transparency.
How integration works:
– 2–4 week onboarding: setup, training, alignment
– Weekly syncs, monthly demos, and transparent progress tracking in your system
– Full responsibility for planning, reporting, and continuous delivery
Time-to-First-Value:
– Software projects: 2 weeks min to first commits
– Hardware projects: 2–3 months to a working prototype
Team Composition & Scaling
Flexible teams built for long-term integration
Each Promwad team is designed for long-term value — not temporary staffing. We build balanced engineering squads led by experienced tech leads and supported by domain experts, QA engineers, and project managers.
Typical team composition:
We can start small — with 2–3 engineers — and scale with your project’s needs — to 10, 20, or more experts. Our average onboarding time is 3–4 weeks, after which the team operates as a self-sufficient unit with predictable delivery cycles.
What makes our teams sustainable:
- Low attrition and strong retention culture
- Structured knowledge transfer during replacements
- Continuous training via vendor SDKs (Qualcomm, NXP, Lattice, Microchip)
- Close collaboration between hardware, firmware, and software specialists
Risk Management & Reliability
Stable delivery in high-pressure environments
Dedicated teams only work when stability and control are guaranteed. That’s why we apply a proven governance model to manage risks and ensure continuity.
How we manage risks:
If project priorities change, we adapt: our agile setup allows quick reprioritization of tasks and smooth reallocation of capacity without disrupting delivery.
Pricing & Engagement Models
Transparent cooperation, predictable costs
We keep pricing straightforward and transparent — no hidden fees or inflated hours. Our clients know exactly what they pay for: skilled engineers, managed delivery, and continuous results.
Time & Material
flexible setup for evolving projects with dynamic priorities
Fixed Monthly Fee (FTE)
predictable cost per dedicated engineer or team
Milestone-based
for hybrid projects where dedicated capacity combined with defined deliverables
You receive full visibility into the project budget, workload, and progress through your selected task tracking system. Also, we adjust the team size or seniority mix when your needs change — scaling up for intense development phases and down when the release is stable.
Case Studies: Real-World Proof
Success stories from our long-term partners
Our dedicated teams are trusted by industry leaders across Automotive, Industrial Automation, and Broadcasting. Here are a few examples of how we help companies keep their innovation pipelines running.
Each project started with a small team and grew into a long-term partnership based on trust, expertise, and measurable results.

FAQ
What’s the difference between a dedicated team and traditional outsourcing?
You get a self-organized team that works within your processes, under your tools and methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, or V-Model). You keep full visibility, technical control, and IP ownership — while we handle recruitment, management, and delivery quality.
How fast can we start?
The onboarding plan includes access setup, domain training, process alignment, and the first sprint or task handover.
Who manages the team on a daily basis?
You always have direct access to every engineer, full visibility in systems like Jira or Azure DevOps, and regular progress demos.
How do you ensure knowledge retention and continuity?
Critical knowledge is stored in internal wiki systems and shared repositories. Our goal is long-term stability — most dedicated teams stay with their clients for several years.
How do you handle sensitive or safety-related projects?
We follow ISO 9001, ASPICE 4.0, and relevant safety standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ISO 13849).
Security and confidentiality are ensured by NDA, access control, and isolated environments.
We can align with ISO 21434 (cybersecurity) and IEC 62443 (industrial networks) upon request.
All code, documentation, and test results are stored in repositories under the client’s ownership.
Can we start with a small pilot before scaling up?
Yes, we can start with a pilot or PoC phase — typically 4–6 weeks — to validate communication, processes, and technical fit. Once results are confirmed, we scale up to a full team.
Several of our long-term clients began with a small pilot that evolved into ongoing collaboration.
How do you manage time zones and communication?
Promwad operates from Central and Eastern Europe — Lithuania, Poland, Serbia, Latvia — which makes collaboration easy with clients across Europe and the UK.
We define overlapping time windows for meetings and provide full async updates through Jira, Slack, Teams, or any other system.
Onsite visits and co-location are available upon request.
What happens if project priorities or scope change?
We manage change requests through formal review and agile planning.
For agile projects, reprioritization happens naturally in sprint planning. For fixed-scope projects, we create a change log and update the delivery roadmap.
Our flexible model ensures no downtime or team disruption even when direction shifts.
How do you calculate the cost of a dedicated team?
We offer two approaches:
- Per-role rate — each engineer’s rate based on seniority and skill set.
- Blended rate — one average rate per team for predictable monthly billing.
You receive transparent reports on hours, tasks, and velocity. There are no hidden costs — only agreed-upon engineering time.
How do you handle project completion or team ramp-down?
When the project ends, we manage a planned knowledge transfer to your internal team or successor vendor. All deliverables — code, documentation, repositories, CI/CD pipelines — are handed over.
We can provide post-project L3 support or maintenance under a separate agreement. If the project winds down early, we smoothly scale down capacity to avoid idle costs.
