Project Summary

A consultation firm engaged Angry Nerds to provide PHP (Laravel) developers and integration work for its E-commerce Thinking business. Angry Nerds implemented integrations between online stores and other systems, scaling from roughly 40 hours to about 400 hours per month, and worked in mixed teams with the client's staff. Remote collaboration, communication, and rapid scaling were cited as strengths.

Key Challenges

Need for PHP development resources to support growing e-commerce projects
Most work was short-term (one to two months), requiring rapid ramp-up
Integrate solutions safely into production stores without disrupting customers

Project Deliverables

Integrations between online stores and other systems
PHP (Laravel) integration code
Deployment of integrations to production stores
Scalable development resourcing (up to 400 hours/month)

Project Solution

Angry Nerds supplied PHP (Laravel) development resources to integrate online stores with other systems for automated data transfer. Each integration was planned to identify potential issues, carefully implemented in production environments, and delivered through short-term engagements; the vendor scaled resource allocation from ~40 to ~400 hours/month as demand increased.

Project Outcome

Diligent execution and effective remote collaboration
Strong communication and trust established quickly
Flexible scaling of resources up to approximately 400 hours/month
Integrations were implemented in production with minimal issues in most cases
