The Linde Group is a world-leading gas and engineering company with around 65,500 employees in more than 100 countries worldwide.
In 2016, The Linde Group’s newly founded subsidiary – Linde Hydrogen Concepts, launched the world’s largest and friendliest hydrogen-powered carsharing service – BeeZero®.
BeeZero® is the first hydrogen, zero emission car sharing service in the world. Thanks to its state-of-the-art technology, BeeZero®’s users can help to reduce pollution and traffic noise without having to forego the amenities a car has to offer.
Initially, Future Processing’s role was to create custom modules that would become integrated with the existing off-the-shelf solution, targeting a hybrid organisation. However, as matters developed, BeeZero® decided to have a custom system that would support all BeeZero® function domains built from scratch by Future Processing.
Benefits to BeeZero®
Even though we do a lot of programming work, we are more than just developers to Linde – working in an Agile approach, we participate in the entire service lifecycle, from design through the development process to production support and, acting as a partner, we help them build a hybrid organisation. Linde gained a dedicated team of more than 20 experts adept at a variety of software development-related activities. The engagement of different roles made the project very lightweight for the client.
With less than 100 days of work, BeeZero® now have a system that perfectly suits their ways of working.
I’m very happy with our cooperation. Future Processing delivers a true added value to our project. Team-wise they are offering a true full-stack skill matrix with a great mindset and expertise in agile software development. We accomplished to establish a true lean organization, focusing on high quality and reliability of the system. The lightweight organisation requires only a very small overhead in steering and controlling the project, therefore enabling us to concentrate on the customer-facing business development.
