Project Summary

Nomtek supplied engineers and QA testers to augment an e-commerce company's in-house team and build a native marketplace app for buying and selling secondhand goods on iOS and Android. The vendor integrated with the client's processes (daily standups, code reviews) and the engagement began in February 2019 and remains ongoing. The client reports fast ramp-up, responsiveness, and a flexible, collaborative partnership.

Key Challenges

Rewrite the product experience in new technology and get started quickly.
Augment the in-house team with engineers and QA testers rather than use traditional outsourcing.

Project Deliverables

Project Solution

Nomtek provided engineers and QA personnel who joined the client's in-house team to build a full-native mobile marketplace. The vendor contributed iOS and Android development (native stack using Swift and Kotlin), performed code reviews in an intermixed workflow with the client's engineers, and participated in daily and weekly planning meetings to integrate with the client's processes.

Project Outcome

Continued ongoing engagement due to positive assessments of quality and development speed.
Fast ramp-up, with the team able to start within a few weeks.
Responsive collaboration with the in-house team, including participation in dailies and Slack communication.
