Case Study: Slice launches a 3D rewards pilot in 15 minutes with Contra

Launching a pilot program with expert on-demand talent

Slice, a platform supporting independent pizzerias, needed to create a compelling prototype of 3D badges for its customer rewards program to secure executive approval. The internal team lacked the specific 3D design skills in Spline required for the project and had no available bandwidth or budget, making it challenging to justify the novel idea and find the right full-time talent quickly.

The solution was implemented by Contra, which provided on-demand access to a pre-vetted Spline expert. John Allen, a Senior Product Designer, found and hired a suitable professional on the Contra platform in just 15 minutes. This partnership allowed Slice to quickly develop a high-quality prototype that won CEO approval, saving an estimated four weeks compared to upskilling an internal employee and successfully building an internal case for using flexible talent.
