The app that simplifies grocery shopping - at home and in stores

Managing around 90.000 indoor parking spots and envisioning continuous growth, Telpark faced a challenge in its expansion due to the high operating and system installation expenses in new spaces. Moreover, existing market systems did not meet Telpark's need for continuous innovation due to their lack of flexibility.

BION single-handedly coordinates and operates all parking lot events autonomously, accelerates operators' ability to fix unforeseen issues, and monitors space occupancy.

Reinventing the parking experience with Telpark

Premium Minds' monthly all-hands meeting is our most sacred ceremony. It is where we get together to discuss important matters on management and strategy. But also where we welcome our newcomers, look back at historical company moments and celebrate team and personal victories.

All hands Meetings

All-hands meeting

Each month, we take a day off our projects and play. It's a time for experimentation, learning, and collaborative creation because we believe that fun adds value. Whether it's a multiplatform mobile tech competition or developing tools to enhance productivity (like a chat command for coffee orders), creativity is at the heart of what we do.

Creative Day

The IT world moves at a fast pace. We keep up with it by making sure we carry on learning and challenging ourselves. Premium Academy is a blend of tech talks and workshops where our team shares insights internally. And now we've extended this knowledge-sharing endeavor to students through our After College Experience.

Learning

We are a team of talented people empowered to do our best work. Our office is lively and playful but also fit for productivity and creative juices to flow. Authenticity is our biggest strength. By leaving out our masks, we can focus on what matters: delivering top-notch software.

Life at Premium Minds

Our office is a reflection of who we are. Besides all the tech, you'll find photos, plants, miniature figures, and all kinds of props. There is also room to play, chill (that's right - we have a zen room), and even shower after a sports sesh.

Office

IIt is no secret that we are big open source advocates. That is why we like to give back to the community by donating to our favorite software and tools. These are just a few of those we've contributed to.

Open Source

Behind every great software lies a great team. At Premium Minds, our recruitment process is human-driven, valuing individuality over numbers. We seek out individuals who bring their unique perspectives and talents, fostering an environment where diversity is celebrated.

Our Story

We work hard to deliver impeccable software. And we are proud that our results come from embracing our authenticity. Here are a few recognitions that showcase the blend of these results and our people-oriented culture.

Recognition

Our summer internship is as hands-on as it gets. A group of interns joins forces as a development team to create a tool Premium Minds will treasure. For two months, these aspiring developers and project managers are challenged to build an app from scratch. And with great power comes the great responsibility of having us as its target users.

Summer Internship

There is so much more than meets the IT. Because we keep on looking inwards, we keep finding subjects that interest a lot of us. Sometimes we can be the experts and do our own talks - on history, travels or management strategies. Other times, we like to invite others to come and share with us, on topics such as  finance, the role of sleep or conscious communication.

Talks

We're quite serious about looking after our bodies and minds - a healthy team is a happy team. It is important to take breaks and give our brains some time to reset. That's why we cherish our mindfulness sessions or a visit to the zen room (and not only to wait for the code to compile). We also spend some time on our yoga mats, playing football or trying new sports together.

Well-being

All work and no play would make us dull. We like to invest some time in hanging out and sharing our non-code-related interests. That might involve grabbing a guitar, a ball, some board games, or hitting the dancefloor. And when stress arrives, these bonds come in handy.
