How we helped Qcify scale faster, cut costs, and refocus on innovation with a tailored nearshore team

Business impact:

Critical engineering roles filled fast

Qcify needed engineers with hands-on experience in full-stack development, QML, and C++, plus specific AQA expertise for computer vision systems. Profiles like these, with all the required qualifications, aren't easy to find quickly. nCube staffed every role fast with high-fit candidates, saving Qcify months of searching.

ROI increase through nearshoring

Based in high-cost Belgium market, Qcify gained access to elite nearshore talent at a fraction of local rates. Our engineers were integrated into the client team and helped them to deliver solutions with strong technical performance and minimal overhead, helping maximize development ROI without compromising quality.

50% faster time-to-hire

By tapping into our extensive talent network, we onboarded engineers with the right skill set, accelerating the rollout of high-impact features.

Focus shift to innovation

By integrating our engineers and offloading part of the day-to-day development and QA work to nCube’s specialists, we freed up Qcify’s core team to work on product strategy and R&D.

LOCATION

Business context

Qcify is a Belgian-US company developing AI-powered quality inspection systems for the food industry.

Based in the ultra-competitive area, Qcify faced a scarce local market for engineers with niche expertise in QML, C++, and QA automation. Hiring for these roles locally meant long, costly cycles that slowed innovation and delivery roadmap of new products for their clients.

To speed up delivery and reduce pressure on internal teams, Qcify turned to nCube. The goal was to build a small nearshore team with the same level of talent as locally, establish a reliable pipeline of candidates with niche expertise and ensure consistent, high-quality development without the overhead of local hiring.

Challenges Qcify faced

Solutions we provided

Limited access to niche talent at sustainable cost

Qcify needed to scale quickly but struggled to find local engineers with specialized expertise in QML, C++, industrial automation with computer vision – a rare combination hard to find locally. Intense competition in Belgium and high-salary expectations made it difficult to fill critical roles in a timely and cost-effective manner.

nCube delivered highly skilled engineers from outside the high-cost Belgium market

Through our nearshore model, Qcify gained access to top-tier software engineers with the exact technical expertise they needed, at a cost that aligned with their budget, without compromising quality.

Niche hiring timelines delayed the delivery of critical features

Sourcing engineers with this rare skill profile takes months in the local market, delaying the release of essential features needed to enhance and maintain their quality inspection systems.

nCube reduced staffing and onboarding time by 50%

Thanks to our established pipeline of highly qualified engineers, we significantly shortened the hiring and onboarding process, enabling faster team ramp-up and accelerating feature delivery.

Capacity maxed out by daily development

Day-to-day development consumed the internal team's full capacity, leaving no room to drive roadmap priorities or long-term product innovation.

nCube handled daily operations, freeing up the client’s team for strategic initiatives

By absorbing routine development and QA tasks, our engineers allowed Qcify’s internal team to shift their focus to high-impact areas like product innovation, R&D, and business expansion.
