The majority of the staff in Timişoara work in the EDI Competence Center. From this central location, Retarus’ EDI services are implemented for companies around the globe. Since mid-2020 alone and despite the pandemic, more than 1,300 EDI projects have been carried out for customers worldwide. In addition, a portion of the testing process and global Retarus software development is also carried out at the Romanian site, with plans to have these technical product managers support the processes in the future. New staff in Timişoara will additionally bolster worldwide support activities, which are provided from the Global Service and Support Center in Erfurt as well as the head office in Munich.

Expansion of the workforce and relocation to new offices

The workforce has already grown to more than 20 employees, reflecting the enhanced range of responsibility and continued positive development in Romania. To reinforce this growth and support the team’s ability to perform their new scope of functions across support, technical product management, implementation, and delivery, the subsidiary in Timişoara is now hiring. As in all its offices around the globe, Retarus has consistently implemented its pandemic strategy in Romania since March 2020. Since the start of the pandemic, all Retarus employees have been working flexibly and successfully from their home offices. Also following the move to the city center, employees have been given the choice of working either in the new, modern offices or from home.

Ongoing investment in the development center

“Retarus is continually investing in the growth of the Timişoara subsidiary,” says Bianca Mot, Chief of Staff at Retarus Romania. “With the expansion of its technical departments and the establishment of a support team, Retarus is a very appealing employer here in Timişoara. We offer our employees a wide variety of personal and professional development opportunities with attractive career paths, both locally and within the Retarus affiliates around the globe.”

During the crisis-hit years 2020 and 2021, Retarus has hired over 100 new employees around the globe. The company never needed to reduce working hours nor furlough staff, as the business continued to develop positively. Accordingly, the various Retarus subsidiaries are searching for new employees, for instance in software development, customer care, partner management, and sales.
