The Challenge

Fragmented systems, expensive infrastructure, and unstructured engineering delivery.

Ferry faced significant challenges that impeded growth and efficiency. Their fragmented, insecure legacy codebase created technical bottlenecks, while high infrastructure costs averaging $7,000 per month strained their budget. Frequent product issues resulted in a 60% customer support contact rate. Additionally, unstructured engineering processes led to project delays, threatening go-to-market timelines.
