Motus is a leading Icelandic company working in claims management, debt collection, payment solutions, and lending services for businesses, municipalities, pension funds, and public entities. As the company advanced multiple strategic technology initiatives, they needed a stronger delivery capacity to modernize core systems, launch new services, and improve engineering quality across a growing portfolio of projects.
HBM became a technology partner to support this transformation. Our engagement began around backend modernization and gradually expanded into broader development and testing responsibilities across several Motus initiatives. Our collaboration covered new backend development for payment-related systems, third-party integrations, claims management solutions, and the introduction of structured testing practices across the organization.
Over time, HBM provided a dedicated team that grew up with Motus’s needs, allowing our client to strengthen delivery without slowing active projects. In addition to engineering execution, our team contributed reusable architectural foundations and established testing processes that supported more consistent software delivery across multiple workstreams.
"Working with HBM has been a genuinely positive experience. Their team brings a strong level of professionalism to everything they do, and over time they have become a natural part of how we work — less like an external partner and more like colleagues who understand our business.
They adapt without hesitation, and the quality of their work remains consistent throughout.HBM is a partner we rely on and trust, and we would not hesitate to recommend them."
CPO at Motus
Motus wasn’t solving a single problem. Our customer was navigating a combination of architectural change, product expansion, and delivery pressure at the same time.
Key challenges included:
Motus needed a senior team that could contribute immediately, take ownership, and operate within an evolving technical landscape.
HBM supported Motus through a dedicated team model that combined engineering execution with quality assurance and process development.
HBM engineers contributed to backend development across several key initiatives, including payment systems, claims management solutions, and integrations with external platforms. Our team also introduced a reusable microservice template that helped standardize service development across projects.
A dedicated testing team was embedded into Motus projects to ensure continuous validation of new and existing functionality. Testing became part of the delivery workflow rather than a separate phase.
HBM defined and implemented a test strategy at both the project and organizational levels. This included selecting tools, structuring test processes, planning test efforts, and ensuring consistent quality practices across multiple teams.
Our collaboration resulted in measurable improvements in both delivery capacity and engineering consistency.
Key outcomes included:
Our partnership continued beyond the initial phase, with new projects launched, team capacity expanded, and responsibilities growing over time, indicating a shift from external support to a long-term technology partnership.
