With OutSystems, they built five apps for staff, clients, and brokers in under a year, streamlining the way it delivers its working capital and factoring solutions.

Overcoming bottlenecks in a small dev team. With a focus on resourcefulness and convenience, Chicago-based Lendr provides fast working capital and factoring funding for small businesses across the US. But with just four developers and one architect serving the whole organization, developer resources quickly became a significant bottleneck.

Our team delivered a two-week consultancy project to support the team as they learned about the architecture and OutSystems development best practices. Attending a boot camp to get up to speed with OutSystems quickly. Within 3 months Lendr was able to build two apps: one portal for clients and another for its broker partners. The client-facing app allows Lendr’s clients to check balances, review their information, request renewals, and more through a single portal.

Impact

The benefit of using the OutSystems platform was rapid and cost-effective development solutions that empowered their professional devs and business devs. Easy to build a solid architecture than in traditional development environments.
