Consulting services leads to increased technical reliability and scalability
Who Is Classly?
Classly provides class scheduling software to businesses offering in-person teaching sessions. Their clients include mainly pottery, martial arts and yoga studios. These businesses typically have rolling class openings with consistent traffic to the scheduling pages. Classly's software is customized for each of their clients. Their team works with clients to determine what custom features they need for their software solution.
Challenge
As Classly worked to build new services, fine tune their product and build a technical infrastructure set up to aggressively scale, the team ran into complicated engineering issues using the Elixir programming language. The small team at Classly needed strategic consulting and problem-solving services to help get past their programming roadblocks and improve their product offering.
Solution
Classly hired Binary Noggin on a consulting retainer to address their challenges. Classly presented the challenges, previous work and client knowledge, and the Binary Noggin consulting team provided feedback and guidance to resolve the issue. Through their consulting services, the Binary Noggin team guided Classly's development team to create a more reliable and scalable product.

Unique Two Heads Consulting Approach
Binary Noggin's Two Heads Consulting service for product development allowed Classly to improve the reliability and scalability of their product and make meaningful changes to their typical procedure and problem-solving exercises.
