A Year in Review and Christmas Greetings from Helsingborg Design LAB
Dear customers, partners and friends,
As we approach the end of 2024, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the past year and celebrate the successes we’ve achieved together. At Helsingborg Design LAB (HDL), this year has been filled with innovation, growth, and strong collaborations.
Expansion of our services:
In 2024, we continued to improve our digital solutions to better meet our customers’ needs. Our sister company Kepler Cloud has expanded its Cloud Hosting offering. At the same time, HDL Commerce, one of our products, has grown with more customers and new modules and is now packaged as a complete suite. We are also launching an upgrade of our PIM system, which we call HavaPIM. In addition, we have developed several SaaS services, including solutions for time reporting, feedback and screen management, and further developed our internal systems, HDL Platform and HDL Offer.
We’ve also refined our agency services in UX/UI Design, adding branding, web accessibility and a deeper understanding of user experience. Our WordPress offering has become more refined and packaged with something we call HDL Tools, making it easier for both clients and us internally, and streamlining our WordPress projects.
Working with Filament PHP has given us the opportunity to offer customized applications with greater freedom and reduced development costs for our customers. We focus on sustainability and longevity in our services, so that our customers can live in their investments for a long time.
Growth and Development of the team:
Over the year, our team has undergone significant changes. We have both recruited new talent and said goodbye to some who sought new challenges in other industries. These changes have allowed us to embrace new perspectives and strengthen our culture of innovation and creativity. Our existing employees have made great strides and many have stepped up into new roles, helping us to continue to exceed industry standards and deliver outstanding results.
One of the highlights of the year was the launch of our internal Academy. This initiative is designed to give our staff a deeper understanding of our company, our products, and to promote a common mindset and working methods.
Challenges and Faith in the Future:
It has been a tough year, and we have done our best to avoid price increases and keep our projects and quotes at the same pricing and models. Instead, we have focused on streamlining internally. The climate is tense and tough, and we are willing to be transparent about it. But with the support we have from all our customers and partners, we know we have each other’s back in the storm! We look forward to a strong 2025 with an equal improvement in services, products, delivery and pricing.
A New Year’s greeting:
As we enter the peaceful time of the New Year, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to you all. Your support and cooperation have been crucial to our success. We look forward to a new year filled with new opportunities and continued success.
We wish you a happy and prosperous new year!
With warmest regards,
The team at HDL
