Bacancy designed and built a SaaS e-sports platform (Origin.gg) that lets organizations create a web presence. They led design, set up servers with SQL and NoSQL databases, and developed the web application using Node.js and React.js. The engagement has been collaborative and on schedule despite time-zone differences.

The app is web-based with mobile optimization and Bacancy supplied a dedicated core team of three full-time resources plus additional personnel as needed.
