ModCloth
www.modcloth.comCrowd Interactive started working with ModCloth in 2007. Since then, Crowd built a custom Ruby on Rails e-commerce system, and has been helping with its development ever since. Today, the Crowd team supplements ModCloth's growing internal team, helping the company continue to innovate even as revenues soar past $75 million per year.
We've worked onsite and offsite, have hosted the owners of ModCloth in Colima, and have enjoyed many late nights of World of Warcraft with the ModCloth dev team.
LESSONS LEARNED
ModCloth's growth has been incredible. We learned so much - as developers and as business people - in the process. We learned how to scale Rails to serve millions of users. We learned which vendors to work with. We learned how to find housing in cities throughout the US on short notice, the fastest route to the airport, and that winter in Pittsburgh is tough.
How ModCloth Utilizes Crowd
ModCloth provides the vision and designs while our team focuses on implementation and QA. Crowd participates in daily standup meetings and shares responsibilities for all development tasks with the ModCloth internal team.
ModCloth hires Crowd developers on a month-to-month basis to supplement their own team. Developers are hired for 100% of each month. A small number of developers are on site, while the majority of the team is offsite in Colima.
Crowd fills gaps for modcloth while it looks for developers to hire. In some cases, Crowd employees were hired by ModCloth through a unique agreement between Crowd and ModCloth.
