For years, Kontrolka was part of that ecosystem as a “body rental” partner too. We staffed designers into teams, joined sprints, attended ceremonies. It worked… but it wasn’t truly efficient for our clients.

That’s why I decided we need to change the model.

As of now, we no longer do body rental. Kontrolka works project-based only – fixed price, turnkey delivery.

Instead of renting our people, you buy a finished HMI UX/UI outcome.

What We Actually Deliver (and Why OEM Teams Appreciate It)

We ship development-ready HMI design:

- A complete design system, screens and states

- High-fidelity UX/UI and motion

- Clickable prototypes

- Production-ready assets and specs

My team talks directly with your teams, managers and software developers. We clarify system limits, toolchains and constraints and then we design as if the system were our own.

Clients tell me they love this, because they no longer need to spend hours:

- Fixing unclear designs

- Chasing assets

- Debating edge cases over endless calls

They can finally focus on what they do best: setting up vision.

Why I Moved Kontrolka to Project-Based Only

From my perspective as CEO, the body rental model creates hidden inefficiencies for OEMs:

- You have to think in FTEs instead of outcomes

- Your internal people end up managing external staff

- Responsibilities are fragmented and unclear

So we flipped it:

- You define the goal & scope

- We agree on a fixed price

- My team takes full responsibility for delivering the complete HMI design package

In simple words:

For a fixed price, we deliver everything. You don’t have to worry about anything else.

Clients tell me this is what they value most – they don’t want to manage more people; they want a trusted partner who owns the result.

Less Rework, Smarter Testing – What Clients Experience

Because we staff projects with senior HMI professionals, we design with a first-time-right mindset:

- User testing is there to fine-tune, not to completely rethink the concept

- Big redesign loops happen far less often

- Budgets and timelines are protected from late-stage surprise

OEMs who work with us describe it like this:

Less noise, fewer meetings, and a lot more clarity on who’s responsible for what.

After 9+ years and collaborations with 19+ OEMs worldwide, this is the model that consistently proves the most efficient for both sides.

If you’re tired of managing extra bodies and want to start buying finished HMI outcomes at a fixed price, that’s exactly the collaboration model we’re now offering at Kontrolka.
