About the Client

Everstox is Europe’s leading fulfillment and shipping network. Its Logistics as a Service (LaaS) platform enables commerce businesses to access smart warehousing, data-driven fulfillment, and fast shipping through smart software and an integrated logistics network.

Challenge

Everstox needed to hire an additional Scrum team to support delivery of everstox’ ambitious roadmap. The company already had offshore tech talent in Croatia but wanted to lower the risk of having multiple teams in only one location. On top of this, Felix required a top-notch team at a cost-effective rate that would integrate well into his core engineering team in Munich on a long-term basis.

Our approach

MVP Match worked closely together with everstox to determine requirements for the new Scrum team. Match provided a suitable team of remote, Europe-based experts with the right tech and culture fit for everstox. The team members had worked together before and were committed to a long-term project. Within 4 weeks, everstox hired 2 backend engineers, cutting their average time-to-hire by 80% (in Munich, hiring this level of talent takes up to 6 months). Since, they have recruited 6 additional Scrum team members through Match.

Results

The MVP Match Scrum team has proven to be a perfect technical and culture match for everstox with a 100% successful hire rate. By providing remote-located professionals, MVP Match has saved the company approximately 40% in staffing costs while securing the best talent on the market. In addition to that, everstox was fully compliant as they were partnering with MVP Match, a German entity.
