Project Summary

Netguru redesigned an existing Ruby on Rails booking platform to improve scalability, providing backend, frontend, and QA resources. The first phase has gone live and delivered a stable, high-performing solution; the team maintained transparency, adjusted to scope changes, and provided accurate estimates. The client is a campsite aggregator and booking engine.

Key Challenges

Need to rapidly scale the development team.
Hiring full-time resources was infeasible due to timing and cost.
Require an outsourced partner to supply technical talent.

Project Deliverables

New design implementation
Backend development
Frontend development
Quality assurance testing

Project Solution

Netguru took over development of an existing Ruby on Rails platform to implement a new design and improve scalability. They provided a dedicated team — two back-end and three front-end developers, a project manager, and a QA tester — and worked with the client both through a PM and directly with team members. The engagement involved transitioning from the prior development partner and delivering iterative work toward a major implementation phase.

Project Outcome

The first phase aimed at campsite owners has gone live.
The product is stable, scalable, and high-performing.
The vendor demonstrated strong project management, transparency, and provided accurate estimates.
