Lending Platform

A leading lending platform sought to accelerate product development during a critical phase when their internal hiring process was too slow to meet expanding demands. With the pressure to scale their engineering team rapidly, the client turned to Sonatafy Technology as a trusted nearshore partner to augment their existing capabilities. This collaboration was initiated during product development, with Sonatafy tasked with sourcing and integrating top-tier talent from Latin America to bolster software engineering and quality assurance efforts.

The
Challenge.

The client was facing significant recruitment challenges and was unable to hire qualified candidates quickly enough to support the fast-paced development of their lending platform. They needed a partner capable of rapidly increasing their pool of skilled engineers and streamlining the development process. This urgency was driven by the need to maintain a competitive edge by reducing the time between defect identification, notification, maintenance, and deployments.

Our
Solution.

Sonatafy Technology responded by quickly sourcing a robust engineering team from Latin America that met the client’s high standards. The team was assembled to work closely with the client’s existing staff, and their performance proved so critical that the client exercised their buy-operate-transfer clause, converting the Sonatafy team into full-time employees. This flexible business model allowed the client to obtain the right talent at the right time, and the successful collaboration has led to further engagements, including a full code rewrite to consolidate the purchased technology.

Key Technical
Contributions.

Sonatafy’s engineers developed and integrated core system components using .NET, C#, and JavaScript, ensuring a seamless connection between front-end and back-end operations. They streamlined deployment processes on Azure, significantly reducing the time required to identify, notify, and resolve defects. UI/UX improvements were facilitated through advanced design tools such as Sketch and Figma, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. These technical efforts collectively improved the development cycle, leading to faster maintenance and deployment cycles.

The
Outcome.

The collaboration with Sonatafy resulted in a significant reduction in the time between defect identification, notification, maintenance, and deployments. The rapid scaling of the engineering team not only met the client’s aggressive development targets but also led to a strategic buyout of the outsourced team, integrating them fully as part of the client’s core workforce. The client’s positive experience has paved the way for a full code rewrite initiative, underscoring the long-term value and reliability of the partnership.
