Case Study: Big 4 Consulting Firm achieves 50% faster feature rollout with Swimm

Big 4 consulting achieves 50% faster feature rollout with Swimm

Big 4 Consulting Firm worked with Swimm after struggling with undocumented code, long onboarding times for new developers, and the need for engineers to repeatedly relearn parts of the codebase after time away from a project. The team was building complex, technical products, but lacked an effective way to keep documentation close to the code.

Swimm introduced Playlists and an IDE plugin to surface relevant documentation directly in developers’ workflow, making it easier to understand specific areas of the codebase and complete work faster. With Swimm, implementation time for certain tasks was cut in half, new joiners became independently effective in about 7.5 days instead of 15, and average documentation search time dropped from 15–30 minutes to under 5 minutes for half the team.
