Project Summary

Monterail began as an outsourced partner to build an MVP for Cooleaf and evolved into their full-time development partner, supplying Ruby on Rails and Angular specialists. The vendor provides front-end and back-end development, design, QA, mobile apps via Ionic, hosting support (Rackspace and AWS), and ongoing support under an Agile process.

Key Challenges

  • Need for an additional outsourcing partner to reduce vendor risk
  • Need for expertise in Ruby on Rails development

Project Deliverables

  • Minimum viable product (MVP)
  • Front-end and back-end development (Ruby on Rails, Angular)
  • Ionic-based iOS and Android mobile apps
  • Quality assurance and ongoing support
  • Hosting on Rackspace and Amazon Web Services

Project Solution

Monterail started with a small engagement to build and launch the client's MVP and then became their full-time development partner. They provide front-end and back-end development, design, and quality assurance under an Agile process, working primarily with Ruby on Rails and the Angular stack. They implemented mobile apps via the Ionic Framework and support hosting on Rackspace and AWS. Depending on the project, Monterail supplies between 4 and 6 full-time resources and provides ongoing support.

Project Outcome

  • Monterail executed reliably, leading the client to expand the relationship instead of building an in-house team
  • Provided strategic and conceptual design input and reliable support, including availability outside regular hours
  • Effective project management with a dedicated project manager and frequent Skype coordination
