Project Summary

Synodus provided IT staff augmentation to Sellsy, a CRM and invoicing solutions company, supplying temporary contractors skilled in Java, Angular, and mobile SDKs to accelerate feature development for the client’s CRM platform. The vendor integrated into the client’s channels (Slack), managed budgets effectively, and demonstrated strong technical expertise, transparency, and reliable communication. Engagements were transitional (typically 3–6 months) with an eventual transfer of development to the internal team.

Key Challenges

Expand product development resources to accelerate new feature delivery for the CRM platform.
Establish a flexible team structure and smooth workflow to scale while maintaining quality.
Integrate external contractors into existing internal processes and channels.

Project Deliverables

Provide temporary contractor staffing for product development
Form a dedicated product team (product owner, Scrum master, QA leads, developers)
Deliver Java backend and Angular frontend development
Provide iOS and Android SDK expertise
Manage work using Agile principles and sprints

Project Solution

Synodus supplied temporary contractors to fill team gaps and accelerate feature development, typically on 3–6 month transitional engagements. For a recent project they collaborated with the client’s French office to transition development to headquarters and formed a dedicated product team including a product owner, Scrum master, QA leads, and developers. Synodus contributed senior developers skilled in Java for backend and Angular for frontend, along with iOS and Android SDK expertise, and managed work using Agile practices and sprints. The intention is to eventually transfer development to the client’s internal team.

Project Outcome

Increased capacity to deliver more complex products and integrate them into the client’s ecosystem.
High client satisfaction and reliability, making contractors difficult to remove from projects.
Successful integration of an external product owner into the client’s internal team.
Consistent budget management and seamless collaboration via Slack.
