The customer is a well-established business founded in 2009. The co-founder and CEO of thredUP Inc., James Reinhart, had a noble mission of bringing innovation into retail, the apparel industry, and the environment. So he decided to build a platform where consumers could sell gently used items they no longer needed or wore.
thredUP is a complex technology solution. Its technology stack includes many advanced proven programming languages, frameworks, and tools. They are PHP, Node.js, Ruby, and Ruby on Rails. The latter has become the main backend technology that made the company’s operations scalable, automated, and streamlined.
Required team extension
With the company’s growth, James Reinhart felt the need to expand his Ruby on Rails development team. After careful consideration, he found outsourcing his project to some remote development team the most suitable option.
The primary search criteria was profound knowledge of Ruby on Rails technology. Apart from that, having a development team ready to take on their project was a deal maker for thredUP’s owners.
Our current customer recommended Syndicode as a reliable software development company focused on building custom marketplaces with Ruby on Rails.
James Reinhart came to our office in Kyiv to have a personal meeting with our development team. As a result of this meeting, thredUP hired several dedicated Ruby on Rails developers from Syndicode for full-time employment.
