  • “My team is really happy with the results. The website is beautiful. It works very well. It’s very intuitive. And we’re talking about really picky customers, who won’t tell you something is nice if they don’t think so – they work in the finance industry.”

  • “This was very much a collaboration. I was able to contribute my expertise. No one told me to keep out and I think the team enjoyed that. Sometimes, certain things seem easy to do if you don’t know about programming. From that perspective, it was an outstanding collaboration.”

Challenge

The company delivered its MVP, a platform around nature-based solutions, just six weeks after raising funds. The main challenge was building a team that could set up a platform with good quality in such a short time. New features were added during the MVP’s development phase, and we had to adapt to make them happen. The team’s adaptability and dynamics and the constant collaboration with the customer allowed for a swift completion of the project.

Solution

In just one day, IT Crowd built a team of 9 people with the following roles: two front-end developers (React), two back-end developers (Strapi/NextJS), DevOps, QA, a UX specialist, a UI developer, and a project manager. We built the mobile app, a project which usually takes between 3 or 4 months, in just 6 weeks. Part of it was a website which was introduced in COP26 in Glasgow.
