CASE STUDY
How eSUB scaled engineering capacity while maintaining product velocity
The Summary
Since 2019, eSUB Inc. has partnered with Telestai Software to expand its engineering capabilities through a dedicated Nearshore Staff Augmentation model.
As eSUB continued evolving its construction management SaaS platform, Telestai engineers became an extension of its engineering organization, collaborating closely with internal teams to support product development, maintain technical standards, and adapt to changing business priorities.
Over the years, this partnership has helped eSUB increase engineering capacity, accelerate development initiatives, and maintain the flexibility required to support a growing software platform.
