FreshPrep, a leading online meal service provider, faced significant challenges as it scaled to meet increasing customer demands:
Providing quality customer service reinforces loyalty and retention as the customer base grows.
Due to the heavy demand for mobile apps and websites, there was pressure to handle more users, especially during peak hours.
The internal team was stretched thin, struggling to keep up with new features and system maintenance demand.
These challenges encouraged FreshPrep to tap into IT staff augmentation, IT with skilled software developers, and e- commerce specialists to support their efforts.
The primary objectives of incorporating IT staff augmentation were to:
Accelerate integration of new developers to align with the existing development process by following similar steps and bottom lines.
Reduce the development time of new features & adaptations of products.
Focus on creating software that could retrofit the systems with powerful features to enhance usability and keep users coming back.
Expand the diversity and effectiveness of the platform.
