Bindr

Challenge

Bindr is a virtual library where you can study together with people from all around the world.

Students can schedule a study session and other students can join or sign up for them. In the sessions, students are on mute, so they don’t disturb each other, but they get to know their study partners by texting encouraging messages in the group chat.

Bindr’s first business idea was a study buddy platform where students could mentor each other. After measuring and analyzing the user behavior, Bindr pivoted and changed their plans to develop a silent study platform.

Solution

Bindr engaged BringOnBoard to extend their development team and needed a trustworthy partner in the process. BringOnBoard provided quality developers with a great attitude at a fair price.

BringOnBoard helped with recruiting, onboarding and the establishment of a great work environment to grow and maintain the team in the long run.

Back then, Bindr needed to organize its development process. BringOnBoard created a SCRUM system to deliver features week-by-week in a predictable way.
