After more than two years of remote collaboration — across screens, video calls, and shared tools — part of the CertLex AG team crossed borders to visit us at our WATA Factory office in Jerez de la Frontera. And while technology has been a great enabler for steady progress, this visit offered us something that can’t be replicated online: breaking the digital barrier to share ideas, strategy, and coffee — face to face.
For several days, we worked side by side in intensive workshops, making key technical decisions, reviewing strategic functionalities, and most importantly, strengthening the alignment between our teams. It was a truly rewarding experience that allowed us to align our vision, tackle challenges in real time, and define the next steps of development together.
Thank you to the CertLex team for your openness, commitment, and trust. We hope this visit is just the first of many more that will continue to strengthen this outstanding collaboration.
The CertLex Platform: Legal Compliance Made Simple
For those not yet familiar with it, CertLex AG is a German company based in Hamburg that offers advanced digital solutions for legal compliance management in highly regulated industries. Its platform helps organizations stay up to date and compliant within a constantly evolving regulatory landscape, covering areas such as environmental protection, occupational health and safety, energy, and data privacy.
The tool is used by companies across Europe to manage their legal obligations in a centralized, automated, and auditable manner — and that’s where our role at WATA Factory comes in.
WATA Factory: Technology with Purpose and Real Results
Our expertise in custom software development is clearly reflected in the project we’re delivering with CertLex. From the very beginning, we’ve been involved in every detail — from the architecture and functional definition to the continuous evolution of a complex SaaS platform that’s transforming how companies manage their legal and regulatory obligations.
The tool we’re building for CertLex is not only robust and scalable, but also intuitive and user-friendly, helping its users tackle regulatory challenges with ease. Thanks to this solution, organizations across Europe can manage their processes in an automated, secure, and efficient way — saving time and minimizing risks.
A key success factor in this collaboration is our close and transparent communication with the CertLex team. We’re very familiar with German business culture and working styles, which allows us to precisely meet expectations, avoid misunderstandings, and respond quickly and effectively to feedback. And we don’t just react — we actively contribute ideas that enrich the project and deliver continuous value.
Currently, we are further developing an advanced technology ecosystem based on microservices — designed to adapt to regulatory changes, integrate with other tools, and scale with the business. We use agile methodologies, continuous integration, and automated deployment, all while maintaining close communication that ensures real and lasting value for CertLex and its clients.
A Collaboration That Goes Beyond Software
With over two years of joint work behind us, what we’ve built with CertLex goes far beyond a well-executed project: it’s a partnership based on mutual trust, understanding, and a shared commitment to doing things right.
While remote work has enabled us to move forward efficiently and with focus, some dynamics only emerge when sharing the same space. The visit of the CertLex team to Jerez was exactly that: a chance to put screens aside, talk without fixed agendas, make decisions face to face — and enjoy the more human side of work as well.
At WATA Factory, we believe that genuine relationships are what make the difference. These days allowed us to strengthen the closeness we had already been building, deepen our professional connection, and confirm that we’re all rowing in the same direction.
Now, with a solid foundation and a fully aligned team, we’re more motivated than ever to take the CertLex platform to the next level. Because when the vision is shared, the results speak for themselves.
