Cutting Cost of Development Salaries by 50%
Challenge Heggerty, a company committed to improving literacy through quality educational resources for teachers, encountered difficulties in optimizing their CRM system as they grew. Given the high expense of hiring Salesforce developers in the U.S., Heggerty looked for a budget-friendly alternative that would not sacrifice quality.
Solution As an expanding organization focused on promoting literacy, Heggerty needed to emphasize product development rather than high staffing expenses. However, U.S. Salesforce developers demanded salaries over $70,000, which posed a financial challenge. Heggerty aimed to lower overhead costs while still improving their CRM for future expansion.
Implementation After a thorough evaluation led by CoDev, Heggerty brought on a dedicated Salesforce developer. This offshore developer provided the necessary technical expertise and integrated well into Heggerty’s workflow, aided by compatible work ethics and values, as facilitated by CoDev.
Results The collaboration produced immediate and significant advantages: Cost Efficiency: Heggerty secured a proficient developer at about half the cost of U.S. rates, allowing them to reallocate funds towards developing educational resources. Operational Efficiency: With the new developer on board, Heggerty was able to alleviate operational challenges and concentrate more on their primary mission. Scalability: The success of this collaboration paved the way for the potential expansion of the offshore team, enhancing Heggerty’s growth opportunities.
Client Testimonial Shawn from Heggerty commended the contribution of the Salesforce developer, saying, “Having a dedicated Salesforce developer has relieved a lot of our workload. We appreciate the value this collaboration with CoDev has brought.”
Future Engagement Heggerty and CoDev are maintaining a close partnership as they look to further grow their team. This collaboration exemplifies CoDev’s commitment to offering affordable, high-quality staffing solutions that help clients like Heggerty achieve their objectives.
