In this context of crisis, Technology Partner leveraged their skills to urgently develop for the House of Entrepreneurship a national platform for temporary labor lending aimed at managing the emerging flow of personnel needs and that of unemployed individuals, those on partial unemployment, and freelancers.
The project materialized through the JobSwitch.lu platform, which connects companies lacking staff, particularly in the retail and logistics sectors, with employees left unemployed due to imposed lockdown measures. The goal is to facilitate and accelerate the temporary loan of personnel between companies and interested individuals.
“Technology Partner leveraged its expertise to develop JobSwitch.lu in record time. I particularly appreciate their availability, professionalism, and innovative ideas, which allowed us to successfully complete this project within the imposed deadlines.” indicates Laurent Lucius, Project Coordinator at the House of Entrepreneurship.
Technology Partner has indeed developed the project according to Agile methods and Lean Startup, allowing for the launch of a first version (MVP) in less than 3 days and a fully operational version in one week. The dozen or so operators at the Chamber of Commerce were thus able to receive and manage the first requests very quickly. Technology Partner maintained a constant feedback loop with the client and users, allowing for continuous adjustment of priorities and features.
“Innovation and the launch of unusual projects are part of Technology Partner's DNA. Therefore, it's a challenge we've tackled with confidence, commitment, and enthusiasm. This project also demonstrates our ability to manage large-scale projects remotely and thus effectively assist any client who can benefit from an IT application to better manage this crisis or to bounce back more effectively as soon as normal activity resumes. We are proud to leverage our years of expertise and technical skills to help Luxembourg, in our own way, navigate this difficult period as smoothly as possible..”explains Julien Gras, CTO of Technology Partner.
With a dual focus of activities - on one hand IT consulting within numerous local companies (banks, insurance, industries, etc.) and on the other a Software Factory dedicated to developing innovative IT projects - Technology Partner was able to quickly reallocate the necessary resources to meet this urgent demand, assigning a mixed team of experts with the required skills to successfully complete the mission.
In less than a week, the Jobswitch application (launched on the initiative of the Ministry of Labor, Employment, and the Social and Solidarity Economy, the Chamber of Commerce, the Luxembourg Confederation of Commerce, and the House of Entrepreneurship, with the participation of the Ministry of Economy, FEDIL, the Chamber of Trades, ADEM, the Chamber of Agriculture, and HORESCA) has already generated over 500 applications, managed by a dozen dedicated operators for the benefit of numerous companies experiencing a temporary labor shortage.
