Initial Situation & Challenges
The rapid scaling of the platform required more development capacity and management expertise than was available in-house. Funding was also a challenge – the team needed to grow cost-effectively without compromising on quality.

Specific Requirements
- Full-stack development team with a broad technology stack
- Engineering management and tech lead
- Quality assurance
- Fast onboarding of new team members
- Attractive daily rates for a startup budget
Desired Outcomes
- Scalable development team without in-house recruiting processes
- Management relief through outsourced engineering management
- Continuous platform development
Our Solution
L-One provided initial developers within four weeks in 2020. The team now consists of 3 developers, 1 engineering manager, 1 tech lead and 1 QA manager. Since 2023, L-One has been coordinating the entire team in an outsourcing model.
Methodology & Process
The team works in an agile setup with close coordination with agriBORA's product owner. Regular sprint reviews, transparent planning and a structured QA process ensure high software quality.
