Our client is a flooring company from the USA selling their offerings from door to door. Sales representatives come directly to clients with flooring samples, do the measurements and take care of the installation.
Since the client has a vast customer base, there was a need to automate operations in order to increase sales and improve customer service. The company was looking for resources to extend their inhouse team.
Engineers from Sombra extended in-house development team working on CRM for company employees, which streamlines the selling process. Later on, our team was responsible for building a mobile application called to simplify the day to day activities for sellers.
We have been cooperating with the client for 8 months. During this time the client has received:

Since every company is unique and has its own way of building software, our engineers adapt and learn the client’s approach to software development. We always manage to stay productive within the client’s development methodology.
