Case Study: Successfully Staffing an Entire Team of Developers to Build Enterprise Software

About The Project

One of the biggest player in the Ecommerce Industry struggled to develop an application that would meet the requirements of efficiently managing their inventory. The organization worked with both local and offshore partners that were unable to come up with a creative solution, and as a result, they needed to bring on a new partner who could outline a tech backed solution that would increase the efficiency of managing inventory as well as a supporting team that would enable them to complete the project’s requirements in a timely fashion.
ShoreWise was consulted by the company to prepare a scope of work, including the software framework as well as a variety of tech professionals to develop, design, and implement a highly secured and robust application for their inventory management.

The Challenge

Develop A Robust Strategy: The client needed a new strategy that would allow them to identify a customized ERP solution to deliver the highest quality product by effectively conceptualizing the digital, technical, and operational platforms to manage the inventory efficiently.
Identify Local Resources: In addition to identifying a solution, the client needed to secure local resources that would collaborate with the offshore development teams to provide the customer with ongoing support.
Diverse Innovative Technologies: The client struggled to locate qualified professionals to build their local business model with the technical talent that would allow the workforce team to work remotely and remain as flexible as possible throughout the entire project.

Our Solution

The entire project had to be designed, developed, and tested over a 3-month time frame. Initially, the ShoreWise Technology team presented a targeted recruitment strategy that helped the client determine the Project manager. Within 3 weeks, ShoreWise Technology team screened and interviewed resources throughout North America to recommend candidates that best met the client’s needs based on a variety of criteria.
In order to secure local resources, the ShoreWise Technology team partnered with the company and the new project lead to design the team structure that should be followed once the development teams were in place. Within 7 days, the ShoreWise Technology team identified, interviewed, and hired a team of Developers to support the Project Lead with the back- and front-end development and implementation of the application. After weeks of coding and development, the application was ready to be implemented and tested, so the ShoreWise Technology team provided the client with additional local resources of 15 technical professionals to ensure we met the deadline.

The Outcome

Over the course of the 3-month project, the ShoreWise Technology team successfully staffed an entire team of skilled tech professionals who delivered an enterprise application with minimal bugs and no security leaks or malfunctions that was eventually launched by the company to run its entire inventory life cycle that could also record accounting/financial information. It eliminated the time needed to manually move the transaction data to the accounting system. Due to our ability to provide staff for each level of the project under extreme time and market constraints, we continue to work with this client as a staffing partner and provide an extensive hand with any IT requirement which needs to be completed in a short span of time.
