Development

From challenge to agility

Customer expectations are ever-changing, making responsiveness critical for organizational success. That’s why we embrace composable solutions-modular components crafted to efficiently address specific IT needs. This approach empowers organizations to remain agile and future ready.

Switching IT infrastructure isn’t a decision taken lightly. Many organizations manage “just fine” for now. But as systems sage, cracks start to show—a website might struggle under Black Friday traffic, or more of the budget goes to maintenance instead of innovation. At some point, change is inevitable. The question is: how? Do you choose another monolithic, all-in-one system or adopt a best-of-breed approach, carefully tailoring components to fit your unique needs?

Last Mile Delivery - One-hour delivery time slot

Route planning is one of the biggest challenges in e-commerce—and one of the most valuable. The Polish online supermarket Frisco.pl offers customers a delivery window of just one hour. We Are North developed Open Routing, a SaaS platform designed to optimize delivery routes for online supermarkets.

`Flexible and pragmatic`

"Sure, IT can do just about anything. But it has to make sense from a business perspective. The key is finding balance: between maintenance and innovation, organization and technology, costs and revenue. You can’t handle everything in-house—especially not software development. Organizations should focus on their core business, not the surrounding distractions."

"At We Are North, we take a pragmatic approach. We start with the business: what’s not working and why? What are your ambitions, and what’s needed to achieve them? What challenges stand in your way? We investigate, we advise, and then we deliver."
