Case Study: Cyclando simplifies cycling holiday planning with Redberry

Cyclando scales with Redberry for 13 months and a 2-person team

Cyclando, an Italian startup that simplifies planning cycling holidays across Europe, faced significant challenges scaling its technical team after its initial MVP proved unstable. Finding skilled and affordable Laravel developers in Italy was difficult, which slowed their progress. They turned to the vendor Redberry for a staff augmentation solution to integrate developers directly into their existing team.

Redberry provided flexible staff augmentation, integrating a senior and a junior Laravel developer directly into Cyclando's team without a project manager intermediary. This approach allowed Cyclando to maintain full control over their project's direction. The collaboration, which lasted over 13 months, was highly successful, with Cyclando's CTO reporting perfect communication and quality that exceeded expectations. Redberry's flexibility allowed them to later adjust the team composition, replacing a senior with another junior developer to optimize costs while maintaining high development standards.
