Project Summary

SumatoSoft provided outsourced Ruby development to accelerate a Russian automotive company's ERP/dealer management (DMS) project. The vendor worked alongside the client's internal developers to build functions and models, with parts of the system already deployed to production. Their engagement increased development speed, improved customer satisfaction, and contributed to staff development through knowledge transfer.

The engagement was contractual and ongoing, billed at approximately 3 million rubles per month.
