When innovation meets high demand, having the right talent in place is everything. Televic, a leader in healthcare communication, partnered with Cactus to scale development without slowing down. This is how a seamless collaboration turned distance into strength and vision into delivery.
Televic is a Belgian technology company with a strong footprint in healthcare, where over 90% of Belgian hospitals rely on its solutions for patient and nurse communication. As the demand for next-generation healthcare products grows, Televic needed to expand its software development capabilities without compromising on quality or speed. This is where Cactus had a role.
Cactus offered a tailored collaboration model: integrating a highly qualified developer into Televic’s team to support innovation and meet evolving product goals. This strategic partnership helped Televic boost development agility while maintaining their high standards.
Televic operates in a fast-paced market where rapid innovation is essential. The company was facing increasing difficulty sourcing top-tier tech talent locally in Belgium.
“We are constantly working on next-gen products. It is crucial that we continue to innovate and that we can quickly build and launch new products,” says Mathias Devos, Software Team Lead at Televic Healthcare.
To keep momentum, Televic needed an embedded developer who not only met stringent technical requirements but also fully integrated into their culture and workflows.
Cactus proposed strengthening Televic’s embedded software development capabilities through its NOW Method, which ensures rapid access to the right talent without compromising on quality. Using the Engage an Expert service, Cactus integrated a highly skilled software engineer who met all of Televic’s technical and soft skill requirements.
To support smooth integration, the developer spent time onboarding at Televic’s headquarters in Belgium. This in-person start helped build trust and a deep understanding of both the team and the product.
“Onboarding improves greatly when developers visit the client’s office at the start,” explains José Laffitte, Head of Engineering at Cactus. “It builds empathy and trust. When someone becomes part of a team full-time, that human connection is key.”
By partnering with Cactus, Televic not only accelerated product development but also overcame the regional talent shortage.
“Over the past decade, it has become increasingly difficult for Belgian companies to find skilled tech professionals,” adds Laffitte. “Cactus offers a valuable pool of talent and a reliable way to scale engineering teams.”
The collaboration between Televic and Cactus demonstrates how strategic talent integration can support innovation without compromise. By embedding external expertise into internal teams, Televic ensured the continuity of their product evolution maintaining their leadership in the healthcare tech market.
