Project Summary

Vinta tested and extended a coffee-trading startup's investor-facing web platform, writing scripts and building previously missing features while advising the client's CTO on priorities. The vendor's collaborative approach, responsiveness and flexibility led to repeat work and referrals.

Key Challenges

  • Needed full testing and scripts to ensure investor-facing platform worked reliably
  • Required building multiple missing feature sets
  • Needed rapid onboarding and prioritization guidance to handle unexpected growth

Project Deliverables

  • Test scripts
  • New feature sets
  • Consulting and prioritization guidance
  • Bug identification and fixes

Project Solution

Vinta worked directly with the client’s CTO and one lead developer to test the existing investor-facing platform, write automated/manual test scripts and deliver missing feature sets. They provided consulting on prioritization, diagnosed problems in the JavaScript frontend and MongoDB-backed stack, and implemented fixes and enhancements. The engagement included ongoing testing and ad-hoc development over the engagement window.

Project Outcome

  • Retained after initial engagement and received referrals
  • Generated additional business through introductions in WeWork and a visit to San Francisco
  • Demonstrated high responsiveness and produced work that required no recoding
