2000+ MDs of team leasing for Konica Minolta R&D AI Division

Project context

Konica Minolta’s R&D uses internal AI tools to accelerate product development across Europe and Asia.

‍

They needed strong UI delivery so their internal teams could focus on AI and core architecture.

‍

What started as a small frontend stream grew into a long-term delivery partnership across several R&D projects and global teams.

Executive snapshot

• Embedded remote team
• 5+ years of collaboration
• 2000+ MDs delivered
• Full UI ownership
• Frontend, QA, and PM roles

We became a trusted partner for Konica Minolta’s internal AI tools.

‍

The need

Konica Minolta decided not to build internal frontend capacity.

‍

They needed a partner to take full responsibility for UI development inside their R&D tools.

‍

They also needed flexibility as priorities and teams changed over time.

‍

What we delivered

An independently functioning frontend unit.

‍

Full UI ownership across multiple internal AI tools.

‍

A senior team that worked autonomously but stayed closely connected to product leadership and backend / AI teams.

‍

We adapted to changing priorities and personnel changes without slowing delivery.

‍

Outcomes

• Stable senior team over 5+ years
• 60–70 tasks delivered per sprint
• No delays or downtime
• Parallel support for multiple development branches
• Flexible scaling up and down based on current needs

The client could fully focus on AI and platform logic.

‍

Benefits for Konica

• Minimal onboarding and low coordination overhead.
• Full integration into the client’s tools, processes, and rituals.
• Regular in-person meetings to keep a shared vision and roadmap.
• A reliable long-term delivery partner that became part of Konica Minolta’s R&D process.

Client testimonial

“What made our collaboration work was their consistency and independence. I never had to micromanage anything; they had the frontend fully under control, which freed up our hands for AI and platform development.”‍
