Project Summary

Bacancy Technology stepped in to continue development on PharmaPlace, a B2B wholesale pharmaceuticals marketplace, after the prior developer left. The vendor rapidly ramped up, provided a dedicated Ruby on Rails coder and supporting team, increased site functionality, and maintained strong communication through daily calls and collaboration tools.

Key Challenges

The original developer left and the client needed a team to quickly continue development for launch
Bacancy needed to get up to speed fast on existing code and push new features rapidly

Project Deliverables

B2B e-commerce marketplace website
Feature updates and new functionality
Ongoing development support and maintenance

Project Solution

Bacancy provided a dedicated Ruby on Rails coder and supporting team to take over the site build, rapidly get up to speed on existing code, and implement significant updates and new features.

The vendor continues to provide ongoing development support for the marketplace.
