From capacity gap to long-term engineering partnership
Client
Wirepas develops decentralized mesh connectivity technology for massive IoT deployments. Its solution enables millions of meters, sensors, and industrial devices to connect autonomously - without centralized infrastructure - delivering scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient IoT networks for industrial and commercial use cases. Wirepas operates at the intersection of hardware, embedded systems, cloud, and large-scale distributed software.
Business Context
After more than a decade on the market, Wirepas entered a phase of accelerated growth. The company was expanding its microservices ecosystem and developing new APIs to support an increasing number of customers and deployments.
The ambition was clear:
- Build and scale engineering teams
- Maintain high technical standards
- Deliver new APIs consistently
- Move fast without sacrificing quality
However, internal recruitment alone was not scaling at the required pace.
The Solution
The collaboration started in 2022 with a dedicated software engineer embedded into Wirepas’ product organization, fully integrated from day one into the engineering team.
From the beginning, the collaboration was designed around integration, not external delivery.
B3 supports Wirepas in:
- Designing and implementing APIs,
- Handling asynchronous events,
- Implementing business logic,
- Managing the data layer,
- Supporting the evolution of the microservices architecture.
Key technologies:
- Node.js,
- React,
- PostgreSQL.
What started as a short-term scaling initiative evolved into a long-term partnership.
“I belive it comes down to the people you work with. B3 has been able to build a lot of confidence. We’ve now been working four years with one partner. That should state by itself that it works.”
— Jouni Mikkonen, VP, Head of Product and R&D, Wirepas
Results
The measurable impact of the collaboration includes:
- Accelerated engineering capacity. Wirepas was able to scale product development faster than through internal hiring alone.
- Stable delivery of APIs. Improved ability to consistently deliver new APIs within a growing microservices environment.
- High team integration. Consultants integrated fully into internal workflows and culture.
- Long-term partnership built on trust. The collaboration has now lasted four years, a strong indicator of performance and alignment.
