Case Study: Transforming Operations with Fraction's Expertise
Founded in 1999, a leading SaaS company in the insurance industry set out to revolutionize the sector with a comprehensive solution targeting claims management surges or volume. Drawing on the founder’s decade-long experience as a claims adjuster, and manager who specialized in catastrophic personal property events, the company understood the industry and issues first-hand.
While the company had enjoyed over a decade of success, it encountered numerous obstacles in expanding its operations, streamlining processes, transitioning into a product-driven enterprise, and fostering seamless team collaboration. These hurdles threatened to impede the company's ability to meet evolving market demands and sustain its position in the claims management solutions landscape.
To address these challenges, the company connected with Fraction cofounder, Praveen Ghanta, on LinkedIn, to discussing effective bootstrapping strategies. Ghanta's experience in hiring fractional developers for his previous startup, which led to a successful nine-figure exit in 2021, proved invaluable.
