WHY US

We help DACH companies access senior engineering talent that their local market can't provide — through a partner that thinks about your problem first, not headcount.

Scale up — or down — in days, not months The right nearshoring partner lets you move fast — in both directions
A partner that solves problems, not just fills seats Most vendors send CVs. We ask what you're actually trying to solve.
The right culture in the right place The cultural fit is real, the work ethic is familiar, and the political stability makes Poland a partner you can count on.
CASE STUDY #1

How Unravel became SENEC's nearshoring backbone across product, design and engineering

TALENT

The people you get are the best we have. And we keep them.

Every engineer you work with has been through one of the most rigorous hiring processes in the Polish tech market — and has chosen to stay.

Hiring is where the bar gets set

Our process filters hard — multiple stages, structured technical verification, and a simple bar: would we put this person in front of a client on day one?

They keep growing — by design

Every engineer gets a personal training budget. Twice a month, Unravel Talks brings the whole company together around a case study or new technology. Once a year, Product Dimensions — our internal conference — is where engineers and product thinkers present projects, challenges and ideas.

A team that actually knows each other

Every year we do a full-company workation — one week together, in person, working and spending time as a team. It sounds simple, but it changes how people collaborate for the rest of the year.

Attrition rate in the last year Low attrition isn't accidental — it's what happens when engineers are treated as people, not resources. When they stay, so does the knowledge, context and trust built on your account.

OUR APPROACH

We start with why. Most nearshoring vendors answer your brief with a CV stack. We start by asking what you're actually trying to solve — and build only what needs to be built.

“Everyone can build a solution even with AI now. Everyone can build a solution, but too little people think what kind of problem they're trying to solve (...) You were the first ones I've ever seen tackling the actual problem space very well.”

NEARBY PRESENCE

Closer than you think

Poland sits right at the heart of Europe — a short flight, a train ride, or a day's drive from Frankfurt, Vienna or Zürich. When you need to meet in person, you can. And that changes everything about how a partnership feels.

CASE STUDY #2

Growing a Swiss energy platform from the inside.
The Enersis partnership

Enersis, a Swiss software company building Gaia — a platform for energy management and municipal administration — needed more than extra developers. As their nearshoring partner, Unravel embedded a full cross-functional team into their product organisation, supporting platform reliability, security, and long-term growth from day one.

CULTURAL COMPATIBILITY

A team that feels like yours

The biggest risk in nearshoring isn't technical — it's cultural. The wrong partner creates friction at every touchpoint: misunderstood requirements, avoiding feedback and a team that never really integrates.

Direct communication — nothing lost in translation Straight answers, clear expectations and feedback that actually means something
Same time zone, same rhythm Your team works your hours, joins your standups and moves at your pace.
The mindset you recognize The quality and ownership you'd expect from an in-house engineer.
“It was very important for me that we have people who are happy where they are.”

Interesting facts

80% of enterprise data breaches can be traced back to human error, often stemming from poor design choices that compromise security. 

Poor design decisions in SingHealth’s legacy EMR system, including outdated interfaces and weak access controls, allowed attackers to access sensitive patient data for 1.5 million patients, including the Prime Minister. (2018) 

74% of companies have experienced security breaches due to insecure coding practices, including poor UX design that leads to vulnerabilities. 

TalkTalk Cyberattack in 2015: Poor web app design allowed hackers to exploit vulnerabilities, exposing customer data and costing the company £400,000 plus 95,000 lost customers, showing that integrating design and security expertise is critical. 

As of 2025, 80% of ransomware attacks are driven by artificial intelligence. AI is utilized to create malware, bypass CAPTCHAs, crack passwords, and automate phishing and social engineering tactics.  

According to a study by the University of Maryland, a cyberattack occurs every 39 seconds, translating to over 2,200 attacks per day globally.  

The financial sector experienced over 20,000 cyberattacks between 2004 and 2023, resulting in approximately $12 billion in direct losses.  

Frequently 
asked questions

What should DACH companies look for in a nearshoring partner?

Look for relevant experience, strong technical skills, stable teams and clear communication. The partner should understand how your organisation works and be able to work within your existing product and engineering setup. DACH references, security standards and the ability to adapt the team are also important when comparing providers.

What is the difference between a nearshoring partner and staff augmentation?

Staff augmentation usually focuses on adding people to an existing team. A nearshoring partner can take a broader role. At Unravel, we first look at the problem, scope and required skills. We then define the team that fits the work instead of starting with a fixed number of experts.

Can a nearshoring team work within an existing product and engineering organisation?

Yes. A nearshoring team can work with your existing processes, tools and internal teams. Unravel uses this model with clients such as SENEC, where our specialists work across engineering, DevOps, QA, product design and Scrum as part of the wider product organisation.

What capabilities can a nearshoring partner provide beyond software development?

Nearshoring can cover more than software engineering. Unravel can provide product strategy, product design, web and mobile development, embedded systems, QA, DevOps, Identity and Access Management, and enterprise security expertise. The exact setup depends on the product and the skills already available in the client team.

How does a nearshoring engagement start?

We start by understanding your current situation, scope, dependencies and risks. Next, we define the required skills, team structure, responsibilities and security needs. After onboarding, the team starts working within the agreed delivery model and existing processes.

How flexible can a nearshoring team be as delivery needs change?

The team can change as the scope changes. This can mean adding a new skill, increasing capacity or moving responsibility to a different area of delivery. The goal is to adjust the team to the work that is actually needed, rather than keep a fixed structure when priorities change.

How are security, intellectual property and access handled in a nearshoring engagement?

Security requirements should be agreed before delivery starts. This includes access to systems, handling of client data, confidentiality and intellectual property rights. At Unravel, these requirements are included in onboarding, contracts and day-to-day delivery. The aim is to make responsibilities and ownership clear from the start.

What nearshoring experience does Unravel have with DACH companies?

Unravel has long-term delivery experience with companies in Germany and Switzerland. For SENEC in Germany, our teams have worked across digital products including the mein.SENEC portal, mobile application and Home Energy Management System. For Enersis in Switzerland, Unravel supports the Gaia energy management platform with a cross-functional product and engineering team.
