Helped Tinybots, maker of the Tessa care robot, ship more every quarter.
Extend your teamHow did InApps help Tinybots?
Tinybots, now Tessa.Care, is a health tech company in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Its Tessa care robot talks people with dementia through their day and is used by more than 150 care organisations. Since May 2024, InApps, a software company in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, has added engineers to its team who build the mobile app's front and back end and new microservices in Flutter and Node.js, and Tinybots now completes more projects each quarter.

About Tinybots
Tinybots, renamed Tessa.Care, builds Tessa, a social care robot developed with and for people with cognitive impairments such as dementia. Tessa reminds, motivates and guides them through the day by voice, so they stay independent at home for longer. More than 150 care organisations use it every day.
The challenge
Tessa runs on more than the robot: an app that carers and families use to set its reminders, and the services behind it. As more care organisations took Tessa on, Tinybots needed more engineers on that software, quickly, without slowing the projects already in flight.
For someone with dementia, a reminder that does not arrive is a missed meal.
The solution
Since May 2024 we have added engineers to Tinybots' own team, and found new developers quickly whenever the work grew. They build the mobile app's front end and back end in Flutter and Node.js and create new microservices for the platform behind Tessa. They work as part of Tinybots' team, over email, messaging and online meetings, reply fast and take feedback, so each project keeps moving and the next one can start sooner.
