How Softtek comes into play

Following the launch of seven direct-to-consumer brands through a dedicated product development center, Softtek expanded its role into sales execution. We now lead end-to-end development of sales enablement tools, embedding Agile practices and a product-centric mindset to drive alignment and a unified vision. As of 2025, the engagement continues with a hands-on, cross-functional approach.

Platform architecture optimization: Helped streamline and consolidate overlapping features across sales, forecasting, and reporting tools—improving consistency and aligning with the Enterprise Architecture team’s goals.

Product-centric development and operation: Owned the full lifecycle from intake through development, testing, maintenance, and support—ensuring delivery readiness and seamless handoff.

Agile transformation and enablement: Trained client teams in SAFe, aligned stakeholders on prioritization practices, and improved documentation and cross-team collaboration.

Broad service scope: Provided front- and back-end development, QA (manual and automated), Agile coaching, and release management using feature flag strategies.

Accelerated time-to-value through live in-market testing and an iterative rollout of core capabilities like payment, analytics, and omnichannel readiness.
