Core values

Together towards one goal: the best software to take your organization to the next level.

Macanta stands for honesty and clarity

"Macanta" means "honest" or "clear" in Irish. And honesty is precisely what we embody: about the best solution for you, about collaboration, about pricing. All our core values are geared towards it: user-oriented, pragmatic, productive, results-driven, continuously improving, reliable. In other words: "Macanta."

We are innovators and specialists. Partners and questioners. We aim to add as much value as possible with our software solutions. Because software solutions aren't just about technology. They are primarily about people. The people who work with them, who use them. Software solutions should be tailored to your business. To your needs and what you require to do your work as effectively as possible.

That's our mission and what we stand for. We strive to excel, so you can excel.

Customer oriented

Customers are sacred to us. We always strive for the best balance between costs and results. Macanta works with clients from various sectors: insurance, logistics, transportation, retail, shipping, and so on.

We always do our utmost to understand the company and invest the necessary time to gather knowledge of your specific business. This ensures that we can focus on solutions rather than problems. It also allows us to consider what the customer truly needs, without getting lost in the details of 'how it should be made.'

We challenge our clients to think about 'why?'. Because some things don't need to be developed from scratch at all. This way, you achieve the best balance between standard and customised software.

Productivity

We always focus on how we can do things smarter, better, and faster. We find satisfaction in creating the best designs and using the best possible tools to execute those designs.

During discussions, we challenge everything. If it's not absolutely necessary, sometimes the quickest solution is to develop nothing at all. We are open to experimenting with new tools and platforms that help increase our productivity (such as Low Code, Robotic Process Automation, and Code Migration tools).

It's not about 'clocking hours' for us, but about giving our clients the most value for their money. And we're secretly quite proud that we manage to do that every time.

Pragmatism

We understand the theory and know how things should be done. However, when we build something, it must have a clear purpose and practical utility.

So, we don't build a 12-tier, load-balanced, distributed application that adds two numbers together. But we do build that for a client with a SaaS application receiving 500 requests per second.

In short, we will never let theory stand in the way of smart, practical solutions.

Continuous learning

Every day, we aim to be better than yesterday. We share knowledge and support each other. You're encouraged to keep going, complete your studies, and expand your expertise.

Macanta supports you in obtaining certifications. You'll receive days off to study and prepare, and we cover the full costs of training materials and exams.

We encourage continuous learning: It's your responsibility to choose what you want to learn, and it's our responsibility to create the best environment for that.

Trustworthy

Reliability is often overlooked. It's not just about your technical skills; it's all about mindset. When our clients or colleagues encounter problems, we're always there to help them.

At Macanta, no one stands alone. We are a team, and we always look out for the best interests of our clients and colleagues. We're there when a problem needs to be solved. No matter the cost. Therefore, we don't take commitments lightly.

We're also not afraid to make them and stick to them.
