The HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) industry in Europe is on the rise. New rules and a growing demand for modern heating solutions are making it an exciting time for this field. Moreover, climate change and global warming are driving more air conditioning installations.

However, HVAC companies are facing challenges that are stopping them from providing great service to their customers.

In this article, we'll look at these challenges and introduce a custom software solution for HVAC companies that will help you overcome these issues and succeed in the ever-changing market. Whether you run an HVAC business or are a high-level manager, you will learn how to make the most of your HVAC company's potential!

Nowadays, many companies pride themselves on having an excellent workplace and company culture that lets their employees thrive. For some people, it has become a significant factor in choosing their next job, as they look for an organisation that respects and shares their values. 

As a software development company, Evojam provides services to external businesses. We believe that shared team values are the core of employee satisfaction and successful collaboration with our colleagues and clients. The success of any software development project relies heavily on the cohesion and alignment of our values. Possessing technical expertise is not enough.

Our views on core company values and culture differed due to our diverse backgrounds. However, working in a team requires sharing values and principles. In addition to fostering a positive work environment, team values facilitate collaboration and cooperation between members, allowing mutual understanding and guiding decision-making. 

Some of us needed help understanding how Evojam approaches values in our daily work towards our clients and team members. This drove our urge for transparency in company culture and values. We didn’t want them to be just a buzzword; instead, we aimed for something we all believed in.

So, what did we do?

You’ve probably seen the most acknowledged EB campaigns and would love to make something as creative and spectacular.

But then reality kicks in, and you realise your budget and time are too limited to prepare your magnum opus.

I can relate as an HR/EB Specialist who has been working for small companies. Employer branding is only a part of my responsibilities, and I can’t focus solely on it. To use my time wisely, I’ve developed certain practices to effectively show an employer brand online.

As it turns out, you don’t need a big budget or a huge team to start with EB. Even small steps make a difference!

Looking at the title, it's not hard to guess that I'm a QA engineer, and as such, my work quality depends on the synergy with software developers. Let's go one step further — taking care of the collaboration between the QA and development teams influences the quality of the development process.

Let’s explore how software developers could support QA engineers in their daily tasks and get better results while doing so!

While working at Evojam, I got used to everyone having a keep-growing mindset, but not the whole world is like that.

I’ve decided to write this article to help you switch from your way of thinking to a more growth-oriented mindset. And the change is only six steps away!

Ready to discover a way to generate usable Java classes from WSDL files and check how they are structured? That is precisely where this blog post will get you.

Finishing the last line, you’ll be equipped with all the necessary schema files and the ready-to-use service.

Sounds promising? Only if you know what WSDL files are, which will be explained too.

When it comes to data access concurrency issues, skewed writes are about as troublesome as they get. Even explaining how they happen and getting your point across can be a challenge.

With MongoDB and Spring, there is an easy and clean solution. I was excited to find and implement it in one of the current projects at Evojam and would love to share it.

I really wanted to give GitHub Actions a go. Having spent many years using Jenkins setups, the idea of outsourcing CI/CD to GitHub made a lot of sense. Fast forward to a few weeks later, we have a fully functional Continuous Delivery structure. Let me give you a quick tour.

In this article, I'm using an example project to show you how Java 8 Optional can impact the end complexity. It can do so in a positive or negative way as Optional can both simplify and complicate your code. In the long run, the outcome can greatly influence your project. Let's see how it works.
