Suunto – Seamless Collaboration for E-commerce Development

In 2023, Suunto faced an urgent e-commerce development need for specific features of their online store, and they started searching for the right talent. They were pleasantly surprised by the quick response from people at Software Sauna.

Finding the right fit

Software Sauna immediately had suitable candidates and presented its best candidates for the upcoming project. Quickly after, parties arranged video chats to assess the technical and cultural suitability of the candidates. This step was crucial in determining how fast the team could start working on the project and whether there is long term business potential for everyone involved.

Testing the Adriatic waters

Before fully committing, Software Sauna offered to conduct a trial run together. Choosing a new tech partner always has its risks. Proposed trial period would help Suunto mitigate those risks and this approach proved to be a big win for both parties..

The value of a trusted Nordic partner

One of the key factors behind such a beneficial cooperation was simple. Suunto was getting a new Finnish partner. Being in the same city, sharing the same language, and understanding the Finnish business values made negotiations and communication smoother and more efficient. This cultural connection significantly improved collaboration throughout the negotiation phase and has continued to do so as collaboration continues to flourish.

High-quality results within the budget

Suunto has been delighted with the quality of work delivered by Software Sauna. Despite not opting for the cheapest developers available, the return on their investment was deemed excellent, instilling confidence in the long term cost-effectiveness and growing value of the partnership.
