| Smart work and summer reads 🌞
Summer’s heating up, and so are we.
July brought a mix of deep thinking, product momentum and just the right dose of beach time. We launched new podcast episodes, sparked a LinkedIn discussion on calm entrepreneurship, and shared two new case studies: our work with Vueling and a powerful cloud platform for Ecler.
To keep things human, we also asked the Martians what books changed their perspective. The answers might surprise you.
Ready to see what’s been cooking? Let’s go. |

From burnout and imposter syndrome to purpose and passion, Jordi shares the highs, lows, and hard truths of the CTO journey.
🚨 Spoiler: sometimes it just means being the “Chief To-Do Officer”.

| | Automating airport data for Vueling |
|
| We helped Vueling, one of Spain’s leading airlines, streamline their flight operations by automating the analysis of monthly airport reports. Our custom-built solution processes thousands of aeronautical documents, extracts key data with precision, and generates Excel-ready briefings for flight crews, all with minimal manual input.
The result? Faster turnaround times, improved accuracy, and a scalable system that keeps Vueling’s operations flying high.

| | Inside our work with Ecler |
|
| We partnered with Ecler, a leader in professional audio systems, to bring their vision of remote equipment monitoring to life. The result: EclerCLOUD, a robust cloud platform built to scale with their ecosystem.
From validating device connectivity to implementing secure tunnels for remote access, we developed a full-featured, multi-tenant solution that enables proactive diagnostics, usage analytics, and real-time device management through a modern web interface optimized for IoT.
With EclerCLOUD, Ecler’s clients can now manage and maintain their systems remotely, boosting efficiency while reducing support costs.

| | What the Martians are into 👽 |
|
| This week, we asked the Martians to share the books that shifted their mindset, whether about life, work, or even time travel.
Here are some of the thought-provoking picks:
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* was a popular favorite among the team La revolución de la glucosa sparked reflections on nutrition and food industry habits Thinking, Fast and Slow and Outliers offered insights into behavior and success The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan was a turning point toward skepticism Rework helped spark the idea for MarsBased itself The Daily Dad reflected on parenting and leading by example
There were even shoutouts to Game of Thrones and The Name of the Wind, not for their stories, but for teaching us to wait for book series that are actually finished.
