Leading Insurance And Financial Platform Case Study
Empowering Thailand’s Insurance Tech Future
- 10Developers added in two weeks
- 1,500+Insurance types compared
Project Overview
Thailand’s No.1 insurance and financial product comparison platform needed to scale its engineering team fast to keep up with growth. Savvycom added 10 developers to the client’s dedicated team in two weeks, including Go-Lang specialists supporting the platform’s move from PHP.
About The Client
The client is Thailand’s No.1 marketplace for insurance and financial product comparison. It is trusted by customers, partners and venture capitalists in Southeast Asia, including BTS Group and Samsung. Its platform provides advice and comparisons across more than 1,500 insurance types (life and non-life) and financial products (loans and credit cards), generating more than $100 million in insurance premiums for 2023.
Challenges
- Immediate Expansion Needs: The company’s performance in 2023, up to 1500+ insurance in premium generation, meant it had to scale rapidly. More customer data, claims and interactions strained existing systems and staff, risking data errors, processing delays, poor customer service, and downtime or slow performance if the technology infrastructure failed to scale.
- Demand for Specialized Skills: The platform needed staff with in-depth insurance and financial sector knowledge, proficient with digital comparison tools and able to quickly meet high service standards, a niche skill set that limited the applicant pool.
- Vendor Selection: The client needed a partner that could deliver qualified personnel quickly, understood the insurance and financial sectors, and had a history of scaling teams without sacrificing quality.
Solutions
- Rapid Team Expansion: Savvycom grew its dedicated team of 10 developers in just two weeks, so the client could meet growing customer demand without sacrificing service quality.
- Specialized Expertise: Savvycom provided a team of leading Go-Lang developers to support the transition from PHP to Go-Lang, a strategic move to enhance the platform’s efficiency and scalability, crucial for financial applications. The ability to manage both PHP and Go-Lang ensured continuity and improvement of existing systems.
- Strong Vendor Partnership: Savvycom established a steering committee to manage and oversee new team members, helping new recruits quickly adapt to processes and standards and keeping each individual aligned with company goals and values during the rapid expansion phase.
Results
Savvycom expanded the client’s dedicated team by 10 developers in just two weeks, giving the platform the capacity to keep pace with growing demand without lowering service quality.
A team of Go-Lang developers supported the strategic move from PHP to Go-Lang for better efficiency and scalability, while a steering committee kept every new team member aligned with the client’s processes, standards and goals.
