Involvement
Railsware has taken over Partners Platform project at the early development stage. We rescoped the product based on its goals, benefits it should provide and issues it should solve, and we moved through production to releases in a number of countries.
Our team was handling front-end and back-end development for this product, as well as graphical and UI design. At the same time, our engineers worked closely with the internal development team at 4finance that was responsible for the API development.
