Quartz Network approached ProCoders to enhance an existing B2B Social Learning Platform. They aimed to evolve their platform by creating from scratch and integrating a unique feature akin to Tinder for businesses. Their goal was to establish a one-stop online destination where professionals could network and learn collaboratively.
Faced with a slow and costly development team in California, Quartz sought a more efficient partnership. ProCoders swiftly upgraded their platform, adding the innovative features needed to position Quartz Network as a pioneering force in the market.
Quartz Network’s idea for the new solution for their product was nothing short of ambitious. They envisioned the result as a dual-purpose solution:
Additionally, the platform handles payments and awards, among the myriad of other features to offer.
The ProCoders’ team helped implement all of this, making sure the process resulted in a revolutionary product.
Quartz Network was established by a management team known for successfully launching online businesses. While they were skilled at rapidly expanding their business through effective networking, bringing all their ambitious plans into an online platform in a short amount of time, felt like an almost impossible challenge.
Based in the US, they sought an adequately large coding team locally but faced challenges in assembling a team quickly enough to meet their needs. That’s where ProCoders came in. Thanks to our extensive pool of engineering talent in Europe, we could quickly assemble the crew Quartz Network needed to bring their idea to life.
