We provided the technical leadership, heavy-lift engineering support, and advanced development platform to put their key initiatives on the fast track. 👍 The result? In 60 days, truDigital had a solution to the performance problems in their platform and their sales team was earning revenue faster than ever. After 90 days, their current clients noticed a dramatic improvement in the speed and availability of their digital signage solution. Now: ✅ The sales team is confident in the product. ✅ The customers are expanding their use and investment in the product. ✅ The business is scaling and thriving. ✅ The investors have earned the returns they knew were possible.
