Case Study: a global retail lending company boosts platform performance and European expansion with Sombra

Global Retail Lending Company reduces operational costs by 27% with Sombra

The customer, a global retail lending company providing a Buy Now Pay Later platform, faced challenges with its legacy IT infrastructure, including significant technical debt, slow application performance, and an inability to scale for expansion into new European markets. To address these issues, they engaged the vendor Sombra for custom software development services.

Sombra implemented a solution focused on optimizing the platform's performance and reliability. This included improving transaction management to prevent data corruption, optimizing SQL queries to drastically reduce data load times from 30 seconds to under 1 second, and implementing precise cash transaction calculations. As a result, the vendor helped the client expand its operations to nine countries, increase its number of partners to over 1,000, and reduce operational costs by 27%.
