Developing a Performance Benchmarking Tool for Businesses
The client
Benchify is a startup building automated human resources software, aimed at government agencies, non-profits and commercial businesses alike.
The challengeWhat the teams actually needed
A founder with limited technical capability needed a platform built fast and inside a fixed budget.
Challenge 01Limited technical capability
The founder could not carry the technical side, so the partner had to.
Challenge 02Fast, and within budget
The platform had to be developed quickly against real budget constraints, which shapes what gets built first.
Challenge 03A non-technical client throughout
Support had to run through the whole development process rather than at the start and the end.
What we did
Bespoke development, with the process owned end to end
Netguru provided full-service bespoke software development along with the services around it.
From nothing, in Rails
The product was created from nothing on Ruby on Rails with MongoDB behind it, hosted in Germany.
Every part of it
Development, quality assurance, application support and the project management around them were all owned and supervised by the same team.
Planned against the budget
The feature roadmap was planned and managed carefully to stay inside what had been allocated.
Stable and well received
Users and internal stakeholders alike were impressed by the stability and performance of the solution, and the client kept the relationship going.
Tech stackThe tools that made it possible
Ruby on Rails
