Swipex

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive at Woub B.V., a software company. We offer a project communication app that helps companies manage all communication around projects in an organized and straightforward way within a single platform. This way, teams can collaborate more efficiently and reduce failure costs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Swipex to accomplish for Woub B.V.?

We engaged Swipex to provide additional software development capacity for our company during periods of increased delivery demand. The primary objectives were to quickly scale the engineering team, accelerate feature development, and support ongoing product maintenance without increasing long-term internal headcount.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Swipex’s developers are expected to integrate with our existing engineering processes, collaborate with internal team members, and deliver production-ready code in line with our quality standards and timelines. They work as an extension of our internal engineering team, primarily covering backend and frontend development tasks within our existing product roadmap.These tasks include implementing new application features, contributing to bug fixes and technical improvements, and supporting ongoing maintenance work. The deliverables consist of production-ready code, feature implementations aligned with defined specifications, and contributions to sprint-based development cycles, including code reviews and documentation where required.

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 teammates from Swipex.

How did you come to work with Swipex?

We found them on Weblancer.net. We chose them over other options because they had high ratings, a great culture fit, and good value for the cost.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in November 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The main measurable outcome of our engagement with Swipex is increased development capacity, which allows us to maintain delivery velocity during periods of higher workload. With their developers embedded in the team, we’ve been able to complete planned sprint work on schedule, reduce pressure on internal resources, and keep ongoing feature development and maintenance moving forward.We’ve also seen success in consistent sprint throughput, timely delivery of assigned tasks, and the ability to address bugs and improvements without creating delivery bottlenecks, rather than in isolated standalone milestones owned solely by Swipex.Although we don’t track Swipex’s contribution as a separate set of quantitative KPIs, their developers are fully embedded within our existing team. However, after engaging Swipex, we’ve been able to sustain our planned sprint scope and delivery timelines during periods of increased workload, rather than reducing scope or extending deadlines.In practical terms, this means that sprint commitments are consistently met, backlog growth is controlled, and feature development and maintenance tasks continue without delays that would otherwise require reprioritization or additional internal hiring.From a qualitative perspective, feedback from our internal team indicates that Swipex’s developers integrate well into our existing workflows and help absorb peak workloads. Their presence reduces pressure on core team members and makes it easier to maintain focus on planned sprint goals.

How did Swipex perform from a project management standpoint?

Swipex’s developers operate within our existing project management structure rather than running a separate project management process. We manage planning, prioritization, and timelines, and Swipex’s resources align with our sprint planning and delivery cadence.We communicate via virtual meetings, emails, and messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What stands out most about Swipex is their ability to provide developers who can quickly integrate into an existing team and adapt to established processes and codebases. This makes it possible to scale development capacity with minimal onboarding overhead.Moreover, their flexibility and responsiveness during periods of increased workload are notable, as they allow us to maintain delivery momentum without committing to long-term internal hires.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any.
