The client
Since 2001 Skrill has been moving money around digitally, with online payment products that let businesses and consumers transact globally.
The challengeWhat the teams actually needed
Fast growth in a payments product puts pressure on the same three things: people, delivery speed and a codebase that keeps getting larger.
Challenge 01Talent for the core team
Growth demanded exceptional people added to the core technical team.
Challenge 02Features built quickly
New features had to be built and shipped at pace.
Challenge 03A large codebase to keep
Maintaining and expanding a big codebase is its own discipline.
What we did
Joined to the Berlin team, on the payment account app
Netguru joined forces with Skrill’s team in Berlin, and the two companies met face to face in each other’s offices during development.
Against the existing API
User workflows were implemented and presented against the API services already in place.
Part of our flow, adopted
Part of Netguru’s way of working was folded into Skrill’s own development process.
Stable and consistent
Key modules were developed steadily, account.skrill.com among them — the app for managing a payment account.
Features and fixes, regularly
New features and steady bugfix releases went out on Google Play and the App Store alike, and the work became part of the new Skrill website too.
