Flexa came to Ivy Tech with a need for a mobile development team to create their first mobile application. Flexa engaged an existing mobile team Ivy Tech had available almost immediately due the fantastic skill set and culture alignment. This meant Flexa could move its roadmap forward quicker than anticipated.

Success Case

Establishing the first mobile team within the organisation to accelerate the project roadmap

Industry

Digital payments/crypto currency

The Client

Flexa is a Series A funded digital payments platform, which is headquartered in New York. The platform offers the fastest, most fraud-proof payments network in the world and integrates with several digital currencies.

Recruitment

Ivy Tech efficiently formed a team of two Senior Mobile Developers for Flexa ahead of Flexa’s internal timeline. The mobile team autonomously designed, developed and successfully launched Flexa’s first mobile app and maintains it to date.

Feedback

These results highlight Ivy Tech’s commitment to delivering not only exceptional technical solutions, but also a seamless integration of our services with our clients’ values and vision.

Flexa Today

The lead developer still heads up Flexa’s mobile team to date and has become a valuable part of Flexa’s success story, maintaining and re-defining Flexa’s mobile app to stay competitive and ahead of the market.

The Challenge

Flexa presented part of its product roadmap to Ivy Tech, which included the development of its first mobile application for both iOS and Android. Flexa had neither an existing mobile development team, nor any internal prior experience in this specialised area. To make matters even more challenging, the highly competitive US job market made it improbable to secure local talent within the client’s preferred time frame.

Ivy Tech was the solution they needed to navigate the absence of an in-house mobile development team, the flexibility they needed as a pre Series-A startup at that time and the constraints imposed by the demanding job market.

Client Since

The Solution

An experienced senior mobile team was coming off a Fintech project at that time and Ivy Tech was able to integrate these two engineers into Flexa’s organisation seamlessly, addressing the client’s immediate need for mobile expertise without the delay of extensive recruitment. The culture fit between the lead developer and Flexa was a match made in heaven from day one.

Ivy Tech took full responsibility for payroll, benefits and all HR overheads, relieving Flexa of the administrative burden associated with managing a dedicated mobile development team.

-

To expedite the development process, the team was given autonomy, decision-making authority and leadership responsibilities, ensuring a smooth and agile workflow and fast results. This comprehensive solution not only met Flexa’s needs, but also ensured a seamless and efficient development process for their project.

The mobile team was fully aware that Flexa was a fast moving startup located in the US, and they adjusted their working hours accordingly without complaints, rather with pride of being a part of such a wonderful journey.

The Result

Ivy Tech’s mobile team provided robust technical leadership throughout the project, successfully overseeing the development and successful launch of Flexa’s first mobile app. This achievement marked a significant milestone for Flexa, allowing them to enter the mobile app market with confidence and competence within the anticipated time frame.

The lead developer still heads up Flexa’s mobile team to date and has become a valuable part of Flexa’s success story, maintaining and re-defining Flexa’s mobile app to stay competitive and ahead of the market.

Our dedication and cultural alignment with Flexa were evident throughout our partnership, fostering a collaborative and harmonious working relationship. These results highlight Ivy Tech’s commitment to delivering not only exceptional technical solutions, but also a seamless integration of our services with our clients’ values and vision.
