The challenge

What was going wrong

The business had a clear plan for a digital lending product, but only a small in-house engineering group. Hiring was slow, and every month without a team pushed the launch further out while competitors moved ahead.

Lending software is unforgiving. Credit decisions, repayments and customer records must be correct, auditable and secure. A rushed team of short-term contractors would have created risk that the business could not carry.

Our approach

How we worked it out

  1. 1

    Agree how we work together

    We met product and engineering leads to settle roles, tools, meeting rhythm and what done means, so the team felt like part of the client from day one.

  2. 2

    Assemble the right people

    We picked engineers, a tester and a delivery lead with fintech experience, and introduced them to the client team before any code was written.

  3. 3

    Build in short sprints

    The team planned, built and demoed in sprints with the client product owner. Automated tests ran on every change, so quality never waited until the end.

  4. 4

    Review and adjust

    After each release we held a short review on speed, quality and priorities, then adjusted the team shape and the plan to match what the roadmap needed next.

What we built

The solution

  • Dedicated cross-functional team

    Engineers, a tester and a delivery lead worked only on this product.

  • Shared sprint process

    One backlog, one set of ceremonies and one release calendar with the client.

  • Built-in quality checks

    Automated tests and code review gated every release to production.

  • Clear reporting

    Plain weekly updates on progress, risks and decisions needed from the client.

What changed

The results

  • Roadmap delivery became predictable

    Leadership could plan launches around sprint demos instead of guessing at dates.

  • In-house staff freed for core work

    The client engineers focused on credit logic and partners while the team built the product.

  • Fewer defects reached customers

    Tests in every sprint caught problems early, so releases needed less rework.

Technology

What it was built with

  • React Component-based user interfaces for web apps.
  • Node.js JavaScript runtime for fast web services and APIs.
  • PostgreSQL Dependable database for complex business data.
  • AWS Amazon cloud hosting and services.
  • Docker Packages software so it runs the same everywhere.
