Project Summary

Netguru provided Ruby on Rails development support to a startup online insurance broker, contributing backend functionality, front-end implementation, and QA as part of a blended team. Over a six-month engagement, Netguru’s three developers helped build and take the client’s main app live. The product was featured in the New York Times, and the client praised Netguru’s project management, communication, and the usability of the solution.

  • Secure high-quality Ruby on Rails programmers
  • Replace or improve upon a prior, less-successful outsourcing engagement

Project Solution
