I am a computer science engineer from Cluj-Napoca, Romania, where I attended a top-ranked university and received a 5 year training in computer science. From a young age, I excelled in math and tech, and it was natural for me to pursue a career in this field.

After graduating, I began my career as a developer of stock market applications using Java. Since then, I transitioned to Microsoft .NET and have worked for a variety of software development companies, ranging from a small 2-person business to a large firm with 600 software developers. In these roles, I have gained experience in building software components for other developers, full-stack applications for precise measurement, and highly distributed point-of-sale applications.

I then pursued new challenges and opportunities by moving to London and working as a SAP software development consultant. In this role, I had the opportunity to work with clients, design and build solutions, and broaden my skillset.

In 2017, I decided to pursue my own business endeavors and founded a company with a focus on trust and fairness. This is where I developed “scan4sap”, a unique system used by clients such as Aspall Cyder, Muc-Off, and Accsys Technologies. In addition to “scan4sap”, I have also built a wide range of software automation services, including integration between SAP and e-commerce websites (e.g. eBay, Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop), integration between SAP and carriers (e.g. DHL, Smart Warehouse, FedEx), web portals for process simplification (e.g. filter and download to Excel, make changes and re-upload for SAP to be updated), and process automation such as pick list creation, stock replenishment, etc. All whilst maintaining my focus on developing solutions that improve business processes and make them more efficient and streamlined.

My commitment to innovation led me to create “scan4sap pro”, a new system that runs natively on phones, allows users to scan barcodes with their camera, and makes warehouse management much-much easier for businesses running SAP Business One.

I am constantly seeking new ways to improve and innovate, and I am excited to see what the future holds for my career and my business. Have an idea worth exploring? Get in touch, we might build something cool, together.

Let me tell you a short story to provide the context on where I’m coming from. As an employee in various companies, I often found that the ethical values of fairness, transparency, and innovation were frequently ignored in pursuit of profit. This lack of emphasis on ethical values was one of the main reasons I decided to start my own company.

One of the most frustrating experiences I had in the corporate world was witnessing the prioritization of profit over fairness. This could manifest in a variety of ways, such as unfairly distributing resources or opportunities to certain employees, or cutting corners in order to save money at the expense of quality.

Transparency was another value that was often lacking in the companies I worked for. Clients would often be kept in the dark about what they were actually buying, whether it was a product or a service. This lack of transparency not only led to mistrust between the company and its customers, but it also made it difficult for employees to do their jobs effectively, as they were often working with incomplete or misleading information.

Innovation was another area where I often saw companies falling short. Instead of focusing on pursuing new technologies and hearing out ideas for improvement from developers and other employees, many companies seemed content to stick with the status quo. This lack of innovation not only stifled creativity and progress within the company, but it also put the company at a competitive disadvantage in the long run.

As someone who was passionate about building products that prioritized ethical values and fostered a culture of continuous improvement, I eventually decided to start my own company – after exactly a decade of being a software development employee. It was a challenging and risky decision, but I knew it was the right move for me. Now, as the owner of my own company, I am able to focus on building a culture that prioritizes fairness, transparency, and innovation, and I am proud of the positive impact this has had on our small team and our clients. In short, I founded a company because I could no longer find my place in the corporate world as it was.

Innovation is at the heart of what we do as a software development company. We are constantly looking for new technologies and approaches that can help us deliver the best solutions for our clients. We encourage our clients to bring forward ideas for improvement and innovation, and we provide the resources and support needed to make these ideas a reality.

The importance of research and development (R&D) in software cannot be overstated, especially when it comes to integrating SAP Business One with e-commerce websites and parcel carriers, as well as developing new automation products that make SAP smarter.

Integrating SAP Business One with e-commerce websites and parcel carriers is crucial for businesses that want to streamline their operations and improve efficiency. This integration allows businesses to manage orders, inventory, and shipping in real-time, reducing the risk of errors and improving customer satisfaction.

However, integrating SAP Business One with these systems can be a complex and time-consuming process. That’s where R&D comes in. By investing in R&D, we can ensure that the integration efforts are as smooth and successful as possible. This can involve integrating with existing software platforms to achieve the desired results as well as working side-by-side with clients and brainstorm for ideas.

In addition to integration, R&D is also crucial for developing new automation products that make SAP smarter. For example, a warehouse management solution like scan4sap pro, which runs on smartphones and reads barcodes from the camera, can significantly improve the efficiency of warehouse operations. By automating tasks such as inventory management and picking and packing, businesses can save time and reduce the risk of errors.

R&D is a key focus here and all income is used to advance technology. This commitment to ongoing research and development allows the company to stay at the forefront of technology and offer innovative solutions to customers. We use a LEAN approach whenever a new project is built, usually at the request of a client that seeks a solution to a real and practical need. Lean Software Development is a set of principles and practices based on the Lean Philosophy, which aims to maximize value and minimize waste in the development process. The goal of this approach is to deliver high-quality software to customers as quickly and efficiently as possible through rapid iterations of module-addition, immediately testable by a developing partner, usually the client. So, whenever the company is commissioned to build something, we use a general approach to tackle the problem at hand, as the desire is to make it practical and non-specific, or, in other words, re-usable by someone else that deals with the same set of challenges.
