Five years. I have been building my Croatian dream since April 2018. The idea was initially born in my best man’s sauna in Espoo, Finland, in 2017. Therefore the dream got naturally named Software Sauna. It hasn’t been only a beautiful dream filled with marshmallows, great Croatian wines, and smooth sailing by the Adriatic coastline….
Domestic software development outsourcing is commonplace, but things get more complicated when some or all of the action is outsourced abroad. This is a fairly common assumption on the subject. Preconceptions or real horror stories of failed overseas ventures are unfortunate. Software Sauna was initially set up precisely to correct this flaw in the market….
After a full month of 2023, it’s the final time for the annual wrap-up. We all probably thought that everything would return to normal after a couple of “corona years,” but unfortunately, 2022 brought some new dark clouds to the skies of the global economy and a time of peace in Europe. A war in…
After Sauna turned four years the last spring, we made our first move outside of Croatia by starting operations in Skopje, North Macedonia. In August, we finally entered our founders’ homeland and landed in Helsinki, Finland: our Commercial Director, Joona Komulainen, was the first employee at the Helsinki office. But as we know – the…
Yet another “corona year” has come to an end. A year ago, we were all talking about the “new normal” and how remote work is here to stay, but also how things would get back to the “old normal” during 2021. Little did we know back then. Although things have started to look brighter with…

Yet another year came to an end. 2020 will be remembered as the year of Corona pandemia which changed the world in many ways. In Croatia, it will also be remembered, unfortunately for two strong earthquakes. The country has not suffered from them during the last 100 years. The first one hit Zagreb in March,…
From the very beginning, our mission at Software Sauna has been to change the perception of nearshoring. We want to offer our customers such a high-quality service from day one that they would consider us a reliable and trusted strategic partner. Exceeding their expectations helps us to reach the goal. Our concept of combining the Nordic…
The year 2020 has definitely been something different. Many would already like to skip the whole year. Unfortunately it will be mainly remembered negatively due to the Coronavirus outbreak and Covid-19 pandemia. Besides the spreading virus and lockdown, we in Zagreb also experienced the strongest earthquake in 140 years on March 22nd. A wakeup call I will never forget and don’t want…
Spring and especially the beginning of April is a very special time for Software Sauna as our business operations started on April 2nd, 2018. Therefore we celebrated our very first anniversary 2 weeks ago. As Sauna is our beloved child, we celebrated this occasion twice, both in Zagreb and Helsinki. The first year of operations…
