Case Study: Maergo

Maergo, an innovative logistics startup, specializes in optimizing supply chain and delivery services with cutting-edge technology. As their operations expanded, they needed to scale their engineering team efficiently to keep up with product development and market demand.

Project Outline

Maergo’s rapid growth as a logistics disruptor created an urgent need for skilled full-stack engineers to enhance their technology stack and meet the increasing demands of their clients. The company wanted to optimize their budget while accessing high-quality talent and scaling quickly to meet development deadlines. Traditional hiring models were costly and slow, prompting Maergo to seek a more agile and cost-effective solution.

The Project



Coltech deployed its Virtual Bench model to address Maergo’s requirements. This approach provided:

  • Immediate Access to a pool of pre-vetted nearshore engineers with specialized expertise in Golang and full-stack development.
  • Cost Efficiency, reducing the spend by 40% compared to other staffing suppliers while maintaining top-tier quality.
  • Scalable Resources, allowing Maergo to adjust team size as needed to match project requirements without overcommitting to long-term costs.

The Virtual Bench model ensured that engineers were seamlessly integrated into Maergo’s workflows, enabling a rapid ramp-up to full productivity.

  1. Cost Savings:
    Nearshore resources from the Virtual Bench model delivered the same level of expertise as onshore teams at 40% lower costs, optimizing Maergo’s budget allocation.
  2. Expertise Alignment:
     Engineers with strong proficiency in Golang were specifically selected to meet the technical requirements of Maergo’s projects, ensuring immediate value delivery.
  3. Rapid Deployment:
     Maergo could onboard the necessary engineers quickly, avoiding project delays and maintaining their competitive edge in the logistics sector.
  4. Flexibility:
     The Virtual Bench model allowed Maergo to scale the team dynamically, adapting to shifting project needs without unnecessary overhead.
  5. Seamless Integration:
     The engineers integrated effectively with Maergo’s in-house team and tools, ensuring continuity and alignment with ongoing projects.

The Conclusion

Coltech’s Virtual Bench service enabled Maergo to scale their engineering team with precision, efficiency, and cost savings. By leveraging nearshore resources, Maergo not only saved 40% on staffing costs but also maintained the quality and expertise necessary to deliver on their ambitious goals. This partnership empowered Maergo to enhance their logistics platform and sustain their rapid growth in a competitive industry.
