Swiss P2P Lending Platform: Dedicated Scala Team
FinTech

A Swiss peer-to-peer lending platform with more than 20,000 loyal customers partnered with Beetroot to solve its shortage of Scala developers. Starting with two developers, the dedicated team grew to seven and now outnumbers the client’s in-house team.

  • TECHNOLOGIES

    • Scala
    • React

  • TEAM COMPOSITION

    • Scala and React Developers (7)

Background

The client is a Swiss online platform for financing private and business loans, with more than 20,000 loyal customers.

It combines deep experience in banking and investment with state-of-the-art technology to make the credit process more efficient.

Project Recap

  • The client struggled to find skilled Scala developers in Switzerland and wanted a dedicated team rather than project-based outsourcing.

  • Beetroot built a team in Ukraine, starting with two developers and adding five more after the model proved itself.

  • A loyal, high-performing team that has grown larger than the client’s in-house team.

Challenge

Finding skilled Scala developers in Switzerland proved difficult, so the client decided to hire tech talent abroad. Instead of project-based outsourcing, it wanted a dedicated team that would support it every day.

The client faced several challenges:

  • A shortage of Scala developers in Switzerland
  • Past outsourcing that delivered only “acceptable” results
  • Helping a remote team understand the Swiss credit business

Facing a similar challenge? We're ready to help!

Solution: Dedicated Team That Grew from Two to Seven

The client began with two Beetroot developers and, after successfully testing the dedicated team model, brought five more people on board.

  • Strong Technical Competence

    From the start, the client valued the Beetroot team’s deep technical expertise.

  • Business Knowledge Through a BA

    A business analyst helped the team understand the specifics of the Swiss credit business and improved task formulation.

  • HR Support and Community

    Beetroot’s HR team fosters relationships with the developers and builds a community around them.

What’s really nice about Beetroot is people are happy there. Beetroot does not only provide us with the resources we need but also builds a community around them. That really helps our business.

Results

Since the cooperation began, the client has enjoyed smooth, high-level performance from the dedicated team and met the project’s initial objectives.

  • “In the very beginning, we were a little bit concerned with Beetroot’s ability to build such a big team, and with our own ability to manage it. However, it all turned out great. HRs are doing a great job.”
