Challenge

As a rapidly growing business (1st place in the “Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Central Europe” ranking for 2020!), Packhelp is expanding into new markets and constantly improving their platform. This creates a steady need to bring in new, exceptional software development talent who can help scale their product. Packhelp’s top priority is finding competent developers that meet their specific requirements. Initially, Packhelp came to us in 2018 with a well-defined, technical problem: they had an inefficient existing system based on Ruby on Rails and needed a sustainable module. The timing was crucial, as the team was struggling to meet the deadline set by the investors. We agreed that we could help Packhelp temporarily, by creating a new module for their system.

Solution

We started our collaboration in 2018 by organizing a workshop with Packhelp to identify their business requirements for the new module. With these details, we determined the required size and specific skill sets for each development team and the ideal project methodology. Here are some of the solutions we created: We implemented an external system module that connects to the main app and exchanges information. We performed a series of technical meetings to build bridges between the system and the new module. We carried out a scrum process that complied with our client's tools.

Results

With the support of our tailor-made body leasing services, they built an A-class dev team that manages a sustainable platform that can handle their growing clients' demands. We have secured Packhelp’s need for team scaling, being able to fast-track developers fit for their needs, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the demand for packaging skyrocketed. Here is a summary of our collaboration so far: Faster system for order optimization Back-end fixes and improvements in the payment and packaging design systems An efficient system within the specified budget Custom-made recruitment process Fast-tracking competent and highly specialized developers for ongoing projects in Packhelp
