Open Ferry · Frontend and backend team augmentation
TL;DR
Nerds extended Open Ferry’s engineering team with frontend and backend development support. Working within the client’s existing processes, we helped move product work forward and adapt to changing priorities.
Context & challenge
Open Ferry is a UK-based ferry booking platform that brings together routes, schedules and fares from multiple operators.
As the product grew, the client needed additional developers who could understand the travel domain, work closely with its engineering team and respond to changing requirements. The collaboration needed to fit the way the team already worked.
Our role
We joined the client’s engineering team through team augmentation, contributing frontend and backend development to the existing platform. Our role was to extend the team’s delivery capacity and support ongoing product development.
Solution & delivery
We worked in short development cycles, agreeing priorities and reviewing progress with the client. Regular feedback guided implementation and adjustments as requirements evolved.
Our developers worked within the client’s established workflows, contributing to product discussions and keeping their work aligned with the wider team’s plans.
Results
Open Ferry gained additional frontend and backend capacity within its existing engineering team. The collaboration supported ongoing product work and gave the client flexibility to respond to new requirements.
