About the Customer

Our client is a fast-growing company specializing in customized signage solutions. Since its founding in 2008, the company has developed its own e-commerce and production-related software using Ruby on Rails, which has successfully scaled over the years. Now, they are transitioning towards enterprise-level solutions, starting with an ERP implementation, followed by potential upgrades to CMS, CRM, and e-commerce platforms. Their goal is to enhance operational agility and efficiency by improving automation and optimizing workflows.

About the Team

The development team consists of:

• 5 developers
• 2 testers
• 2 product owners

The team follows a Scrum-like methodology with four-week sprints, including a cooldown period dedicated to bug fixes and additional improvements. Testers primarily focus on manual, user-perspective testing, while developers handle automated testing. The team operates in a distributed setup, with key locations in Tartu, Estonia, and Gothenburg, Sweden.
