Engagements that started as added capacity.
One of our clients has a platform that supports providers in getting patients on therapy faster. BLA provided a tiger team for a two-month MVP build. This MVP was used by the client to get funding to continue to build out the product vision with the support of the BLA team.
Our client has a platform that manages excess inventory and provides optimized solutions to move its inventory quicker. BLA provided support for both the legacy system (built in PHP) as well as the build for the NextGen system built in Golang and React, and worked with this client for over two years.
One of the largest suppliers of building materials in the world was struggling with their development pipeline due to a bottleneck with design and business analyst resources.
