The challenge
A funded fashion marketplace with traction but no senior tech leadership. Their existing developer had left mid-project. The codebase needed a full audit, the checkout flow was broken, and a Series A was contingent on demonstrating product velocity within 8 weeks.
What we built
Literesults deployed a 4-person pod within 72 hours: two senior engineers, a product designer, and a PM. The PM ran a 2-day codebase and roadmap audit on day one. By end of week 1, the broken checkout was fixed and the backlog was prioritised. By week 8, the team had shipped three major features including a vendor onboarding flow, a buyer review system, and a WhatsApp-native order notification system.
