Project Summary

Netguru has provided Ruby on Rails development and ongoing resourcing to Premla Capital since 2014, supporting consumer finance products and an algorithmic engine. The vendor acted as an external development team—providing a senior developer and up to three developers at peak capacity—and performed code refactoring and algorithmic work. The client praised Netguru's reliability, flexibility, and ability to deliver on time and within budget, and noted they use JIRA and Slack for project management.
