Most CI/CD pipelines aren't broken, just configured to cost you more time than they should. Good news: the fix lives in how the pipeline is set up, not the application code.

In his latest article, Notch's software engineer Marko Štuban walked us through five targeted changes to .gitlab-ci.yml that brought an 8-minute pipeline down to 5. No application code touched.

Managing a massive fleet of vehicles is often a logistical puzzle where a single missing detail can stall the entire operation. In automotive logistics, visibility isn't just an extra feature – it’s the engine of efficiency. ⚙️

For our client, we developed a custom, real-time platform that registers every movement and service, while enabling a complete workflow and user management. Together, we’ve brought absolute control to their operations, thus eliminating bottlenecks and ensuring everything and everyone does exactly what they should. 📈

There’s always that one core system everyone tiptoes around: it runs the money-making workflows, connects to everything else, and is so loaded with cognitive debt that a full re‑engineering sounds terrifying.

Modernized software delivery, powered by coding agents, gives you another option: instead of a multi‑year rip‑and‑replace, AI‑augmented agents plus disciplined engineering let you understand, wrap, and steadily upgrade small, high‑value slices while the system keeps humming.

Our business development manager Nikša Demović breaks it down in his latest article – check out the full piece to learn more.

Are you endlessly curious and bursting with ideas, constantly screenshotting and saving links, only to end up with a chaotic folder of colorful stuff you never look at again?
We hear you – the “digital graveyard” is very real, and far more common than you might think.

For our client – a group of digital enthusiasts – we built an AI‑native knowledge platform that turns scattered digital content into structured, searchable stashes. At Notch, they found a partner that owns the architecture, ex*****on, and delivery end‑to‑end, instead of just shipping isolated features.
Together, we’ve made knowledge management radically simpler through automated capture and enrichment – saving time and, more importantly, keeping ideas genuinely actionable.

Read on to see how we did it.

When “agentic experience” (AX) joins UX and DX, it opens a new space where designers can have even more impact.

In our new Notch blog, our Principal UX/UI Designer Aida Malkić explains how core skills like research, information architecture, and UX writing naturally extend into designing for agents, transparency, and shared control between humans and machines.

When AI accelerates coding, the real question isn’t “how fast are we shipping?” - but rather “what are we quietly paying in tech debt, risk, and burnout?”

When is dropped into sensitive domains like employability without context, it risks turning unique stories into generic output and adding to caseworkers’ workload instead of reducing it.

In our latest article, we unpack how we worked with Candid to do the opposite: starting with workshops, discovery, and a clear understanding of caseworkers’ reality, then shaping a human‑led AI CV platform around their actual workflows.

The piece walks through the process, not just the tech, and shows why designing for empathy and constraints matters as much as model choice.

When is treated as a testing ground for experimentation, teams waste budget on pilots that never make it to production and end up with flashy demos that don’t move the needle.

Spelling out the business case early on shifts the discussion away from model capabilities and toward its concrete impact on P&L, risk, and strategy in the near term.

In today’s article, our Account Executive, Patrik Posavec, breaks down how to avoid the leading cause of AI initiative failures: launching projects without a clearly defined business case.

The real challenge in building quality AI teams is finding the people who can make it work end-to-end.

This chart shows the most in-demand roles. Here’s the important part: they’re not “extra” roles – without them, AI projects stay stuck in pilot mode and never flourish to their full potential.

has blended into everyday engineering. In 2026, the real story is how it changes the way software is built, how fast teams can move without piling up technical debt, and how well they keep governance under control.

Inside the 2026 Notch Tech Trends Report, you’ll find:
· How AI moves from feature to infrastructure, and why data and governance decide who sees returns
· How AI agents impact tech debt and how to keep speed without turning your codebase into a liability
· The 2026 signals leaders need to watch, from regulation and talent gaps to the nearshore value equation

Authored by Marko Štefančić, Darko Špoljarić, and Goran Pugar, it’s for teams who care about how things work in production, not just on paper.

Agentic AI is finally getting hands‑on at TM Forum Accelerate! 🚀

This annual event gathers communication service providers and technology vendors to set their priorities together, spark new collaborations, and make sure concrete plans actually move forward in TM Forum programs throughout the year.

Notch’s Principal Software Developer İrem Gamzeli Aktaş has been actively contributing to TM Forum Open Digital Architecture (ODA) for the last four years. This year, she’ll share a short demo and technical talk for developer contributors, focused on ODA Canvas and how it’s used in practice for component deployment and basic implementation.
If you’d like to join this session and learn from İrem, come by on Monday, 2 February at 2 PM, in Sala VI of the Hotel Cascais Miragem.
