Introduction: A Platform for Progress
At Full Scale, we pride ourselves on our ability to understand and address the unique challenges faced by our clients. Our collaboration with LendingStandard exemplifies our commitment to providing bespoke software development solutions.
As a software platform for commercial real estate lenders, LendingStandard has significantly impacted the industry by processing approximately 30% of affordable multifamily property loans nationwide.
Our partnership began when they sought to expand their development team to continue their mission of facilitating excellent, affordable living spaces.
Scaling Up the Challenge
LendingStandard encountered a pivotal challenge: the expansion of its development team with high-caliber developers.
Despite their success, finding and integrating skilled developers locally in the Kansas City area became increasingly challenging. They explored various alternatives, including hiring from vocational tech programs and direct recruitment from colleges. Yet none provided the seamless integration or quality they sought.
This challenge led them to consider working with Full Scale to meet their growing needs.
The Full Scale Solution
Full Scale’s approach differed fundamentally. Rather than treating software development as a mere transaction, we adopted a fully integrated team model.
This approach not only improved the quality of output but also ensured that our contributions perfectly aligned with LendingStandard’s expectations and company culture.
By treating our developers as an extension of their own team, we facilitated a seamless collaboration that fostered innovation and efficiency.
Results That Speak Volumes
The collaboration between LendingStandard and Full Scale has been characterized by significant achievements.
The integrated team approach allowed LendingStandard to not only scale their development capabilities but also maintain and, in many aspects, enhance the quality of their software.
This strategic partnership enabled them to continue their mission without compromise, supporting more affordable housing projects across the nation.
A Testimonial of True Partnership
“Our journey with Full Scale has been transformative. Waking up each morning to collaborate with the Full Scale team has become the highlight of my day. Their work ethic, pride in craftsmanship, and the sheer quality of their output have not only met but exceeded our expectations. The most significant impact, however, has been the seamless integration of their team with ours, making every challenge surmountable and every success sweeter. Working with Full Scale is not just about scaling; it’s about elevating your entire operation to new heights.”
