Case Studies
Healthcare
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. The majority of developers, tech leads, and designers are BLA members, while the client provides Engineering leadership, product management, and process definition. The ratio is around three BLA members per client member.
B2B
Our client has a platform that manages excess inventory and provides optimized solutions to move this 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. The BLA team of backend developers, frontend developers, QA engineers and business analysts were able to keep the legacy system functioning while building out the NextGen system and worked with this client for over two years.
Building Materials
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. We engaged with them to provide resources for a year and a half to help them launch features faster and increase the efficiency of their development team.
