Project Summary

Pwrteams (formerly Skelia) provided staff augmentation to help develop a yield/pricing system for flights and hotels for the client. The vendor supplied senior developers and QA who delivered a system built with AngularJS, C#, SQL (and RabbitMQ per the client) and worked closely with the client's business analysts and architects. Deliveries were on time, quality was good, and the vendor supported smooth recruitment and team integration over the engagement.

Key Challenges

Quickly scale up development teams to meet high-priority projects
Build a system to yield and adjust hotel and flight prices based on business rules and automatic adjustments

Project Deliverables

Yield management system for flights and hotels
AngularJS and C# application
SQL database integration

Project Solution

Pwrteams supplied a small augmented team—three senior full-stack developers and one QA—taking responsibility for scrum master duties and working closely with the client's business analyst and application architect. They developed a yield system for pricing hotels and flights, implemented using AngularJS, C#, SQL and RabbitMQ, and followed agile practices with daily standups and Azure DevOps for planning and tracking.

Project Outcome

Delivered one major project and several minor projects on time with good quality
Successfully integrated and adapted to the client's ways of working with effective long-term collaboration
Smooth recruitment and replacement processes when team members changed, with good pre-screening of candidates

Quality of Deliverables

“Pwrteams (formerly Skelia) has helped deliver on a major project along with some minor ones. They're able to adapt well to client feedback and treat the relationship as a two-way street. If demand requires more resources, they're able to source additional qualified talent.”
