When we think about modern cars, it’s no longer just about horsepower, sleek design, or even fuel efficiency. Increasingly, it’s about software—the apps and systems that shape the way we drive and interact with vehicles.
At the heart of this transformation is HaleyTek AB, a Swedish software company that develops infotainment systems for Volvo, Polestar, and Geely vehicles. Their work is built on Android Automotive OS, ensuring that drivers can access the apps and experiences they already love—seamlessly integrated into their cars.
To achieve this, HaleyTek relies on collaboration and synchronization across multiple customers. And for that, they turned to Getint.
From Manual Processes to Seamless Automation
When HaleyTek began exploring how to share roadmaps and collect feedback from their customers, the process was largely manual.
“Basically our initial approach was to export and import a roadmap. We took kind of a snapshot export from our system and shared that with our customers. I mean, that works—but our customers didn’t get any kind of real-time information, and it was quite some labor on our side to make this happen,” recalls David Klink, Engineering Manager at HaleyTek.
The limitations were clear: time-consuming manual work, static updates, and a lack of real-time visibility. That’s when HaleyTek began looking for a better solution.
Why HaleyTek Chose Getint
After evaluating different options, HaleyTek chose Getint’s Jira-to-Jira integration. The reasons were simple: control, flexibility, and usability.
“One of the key factors was the fact that this was something we could configure on our side entirely, and it used the APIs in the background. So then we were in control of the integration and the config. We tested others that had more dependencies, but this gave us more flexibility. And I also liked the UI—it was a simple UI to set up,” David explains.
This meant HaleyTek could integrate with multiple customers, each with their own Jira setup, while keeping everything efficient and under their control.
Scaling Across Multiple Customers
HaleyTek’s journey didn’t stop with a single integration. What began as one setup soon grew into a broader network of collaborations.
“We kind of grew the integrations along the way—starting off maybe with a simple solution and then expanding it when the need arose. Basically one company first, and then we expanded it to multiple. We could also reuse a lot of the configurations and knowledge that we had for the previous integrations,” says David.
This flexibility has been crucial for HaleyTek as they support some of the largest names in the automotive industry.
Reliable, Low-Maintenance Performance
Integrations are only as good as their long-term reliability. For HaleyTek, Getint has proven to be a low-maintenance solution.
“When you’ve got it set up the first time, I do very little maintenance. Most of the changes come when there are new fields or new needs, but I’ve seen very little of that kind of deterioration over time. I’m really happy about that, because I would like to avoid maintenance time and rather spend it on things that provide value to us and our customers,” David shares.
Notifications and reporting keep HaleyTek informed, but the integration largely runs in the background—delivering continuous value without demanding daily oversight.
Support That Makes a Difference
While the product itself is critical, David emphasizes that the team behind the product matters just as much.
“At some point, you’re bound to end up in some kind of corner case that you cannot really figure out. I remember one case when we had an issue type renamed in our customer system, which made the UI incompatible. We contacted the support, and we got help from an engineer who fixed it so it was compatible. That really helped us out a lot.”
Importantly, this wasn’t just a fix for HaleyTek—it improved the product for all users. “Every customer benefited from this change because of the feedback,” David adds.
Advice for Teams Still Doing Things Manually
Many teams still rely on copy-pasting issues, sending emails, or updating spreadsheets. For David, the difference after adopting Getint is clear:
“I can understand the hesitation—you know what you get with manual processes. But I would say it’s well worth giving it a try. It’s not that complicated, and it’s nothing like setting up your own scripts. There’s no programming needed. It’s very intuitive. Just give it a try and build your own opinion from that.”
The Road Ahead
HaleyTek is shaping the future of software-defined vehicles, and Getint is proud to play a role in making their collaboration with customers smooth and efficient. With integrations that scale, require little maintenance, and are backed by a supportive team, HaleyTek can focus on what matters most: delivering world-class infotainment systems for the cars of tomorrow.
