We needed to innovate quickly to meet the demands of our enterprise clients. Developers.dev augmented our in-house team with their specialized IoT and UI/UX pods. Their expertise was instrumental in launching our new features on an aggressive timeline. The new gamified dashboard has seen a 60% increase in daily active users.
Sarah Jenkins, Chief Product Officer, WellCorp.
WellCorp is a B2B SaaS company that provides corporate wellness solutions to Fortune 500 companies. Their platform helps employees improve their health through various programs. To stay competitive, they needed to enhance their mobile app with seamless wearable integration and engaging gamification features to drive employee participation.
WellCorp's platform relied on manual data entry by employees, which was tedious and resulted in low engagement. Their enterprise clients were asking for better device integration and more engaging features to motivate their workforce.
Reliably syncing data from a diverse ecosystem of employee-owned fitness trackers.
Designing gamification features that were motivating but not distracting in a corporate context.
Ensuring all new features complied with stringent data privacy and security requirements (SOC 2, GDPR).
Seamlessly integrating the new developer pod with their existing in-house engineering team and processes.
We used our Staff Augmentation POD model to provide WellCorp with a team of specialists who worked as an extension of their own.
Our Embedded-Systems / IoT Edge Pod built a robust data synchronization engine that connected with Apple HealthKit, Google Fit, and the Garmin Health API. This allowed employees to connect their preferred devices with a single click.
Our UI/UX experts designed a sophisticated gamification system focused on team-based challenges and personal milestones rather than individual competition. This included departmental leaderboards, collaborative goals, and achievement badges tied to corporate values.
The entire development process was governed by our SOC 2 compliant practices. All data was encrypted, and we implemented granular consent management to ensure GDPR compliance.
Our pod integrated directly into WellCorp's Jira, Slack, and GitLab environments, participating in their daily stand-ups and sprint planning sessions to ensure a cohesive one-team approach.
Our team was onboarded within two weeks, following a 2-week paid trial.
The project was broken down into two main epics: Data Sync and Gamification.
Our developers worked in pair programming sessions with WellCorp's engineers to facilitate knowledge sharing.
We built a comprehensive automated testing suite to cover all new API endpoints and UI components.
The gamification engine was built to be highly configurable, allowing WellCorp's clients to customize challenges.
A phased rollout was planned, starting with a beta program for a select group of clients.
The new features led to a 60% increase in daily active users and a 300% increase in the number of employees syncing a wearable device.
WellCorp secured multi-year renewals with three of its largest enterprise clients, who cited the new features as a key reason for continuing the partnership.
The platform is now seen as a market leader in terms of technology and user engagement.
WellCorp's developers gained valuable knowledge in IoT and advanced data sync, enhancing their internal capabilities.
Our POD model was the perfect fit for their need to augment, not replace, their team.
We provided niche expertise that was difficult for them to hire locally.
We understood the unique demands of building for enterprise clients.
Our SOC 2 and GDPR expertise was critical for their business.
