Our Story

Our story began in 2012. We laid our foundations on decade of hands on experiences working in IT industry based on which we identified our vision, core values, goals and ways how to get there. 

Our passion for software and QA engineering in combination with a strong human touch towards clients and employees led us to the point where we are today – reaching 100 team members in 4 countries and 7 cities. From our very beginning we nurture long-term co-operations with our clients and therefor are able to provide in-depth domain knowledge and offer customized services suited to each client individually. On the other side we tend to do the same with our team members, which are our core. ASCALAB is people.

By focusing on details while being able to see the bigger picture, our highly skilled engineers show their true secret powers. We will always go the extra mile to make sure that the service provided by us will be as it should be, professionally executed and supported by up to date knowledge, skills, years of experience and innovative solutions in timely manner.

And we are not stopping there. We are just getting started.

Core Values

Results-oriented mindset. We focus on what our teams can achieve, not just the tasks they are working on. That involves setting clear objectives, tracking progress and taking actions directly contributing to accomplishing those objectives. We identify and address potential roadblocks or challenges that could prevent the team from achieving their goals and this way try to work smarter, not harder.

Sticking together. We talk and listen to each other. We help out when we can. Nobody is just a number with us. We will always make sure that everyone is moving forward in the same direction and no (wo)man is left behind.

Freedom and responsibility. We like our easy-going environment and friendly atmosphere. We like to have the ability to balance our private-work life with an ease, while at the same time we remain commited to getting our job done. 

Continuous learning. The only constant in life is change and we feel that deeply. We adapt to changing circumstances by being open-minded to new ideas and solutions. How do we do that? By being curious, passionate and couragous enough to step out of our comfort zone. We support each other on the way.

Our Vision

Our vision is to build the company to become recognized for providing reliable solution for any software company which lacks certain team members or the whole team for the specific product or service they develop.

Added value for our clients. Providing a service to help clients achieve their goals by providing necessary capacities on a long term basis. We do this by establishing teams which can work within client`s specific environment, considering client`s specific processes and/or client`s product.

Added value for our employees. We provide dynamic environment which allows our developers and QA engineers to acquire working experience in the number of various industries, R&D and/or Service companies. We do this while cautiously tracking our employees` development progress, ambitions and personal goals.

Added value for the world. By providing essential help to various software companies related to capacities, we allow them to focus on their core business only. In this way, we help them to offer better products and make our world a better place in the end.
