Project Summary

Sombra built a front-to-back database solution for a B2B SaaS software company, transforming rudimentary UI mockups into a working product using React and Java. They delivered an MVP under a tight deadline, producing high-quality, largely bug-free code and demonstrating fast turnaround on stylistic and functional changes. The client praised the competence of developers and the expertise of the team lead, and subsequently hired additional developers from Sombra.

Key Challenges

Build a new database under a tight deadline
Lack of internal resources to complete the project
Delivery of the database was contractually required for new business

Project Deliverables

Front-end application built with React
Back-end database and API built with Java
Partner-facing interface to manage clients, business profiles, and subscription information
MVP delivered under a tight deadline

Project Solution

Working from rudimentary UI mockups, Sombra constructed both the front- and backend of a database-driven application using React for the UI and Java for the backend. They built an interface that enables partners to manage enrolled clients, business profiles, and subscription information. The vendor was given latitude to reuse existing components to expedite delivery, committed to delivering an MVP within the client’s deadline, and later provided additional developers for ongoing maintenance and separate projects.

Project Outcome

Delivered the product on schedule
High-quality, largely bug-free code with fast turnaround
Team accommodated abrupt changes and provided extended Slack support
Client retained one developer and hired additional developers from Sombra
