BigCommerce is an IT product company with outstanding e-commerce solutions for powering successful brands. Launched in 2009, the company currently has over 500 employees and offers its product in 120+ countries.
In 2018, BigCommerce raised approximately $64 million from Goldman Sachs, General Catalyst, GGV Capital and Tenaya Capital. With $155 million in prior investments from names like Telstra and SoftBank, BigCommerce has gained vast financial resources to develop their platform.
Issue
Our client wanted to take a more aggressive approach for developing their product and this required extensive investments in human resources. Given the shortage of software developers in the United States BigCommerce have been seeking more accessible as well as cost-effective solutions (without compromising on quality).
For some time, BigCommerce had been working with outsourcing companies from Romania and Ukraine; however, they soon understood that they needed developers to focus solely on their product - and that is why they opted for creating an R&D team in Ukraine.
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT OUTSOURCING IN UKRAINE
Among Eastern European countries, Ukraine takes a leading position in software development outsourcing - and high competition in the market keeps Ukrainian developers at the top of outsourcing rankings.
Solution
Alcor provided BigCommerce with comprehensive support for their entry into the Ukrainian IT market. We assisted them in opening an R&D center from scratch and took care of the real estate, recruiting, legal, and operational activities.
OFFICE AND REAL ESTATE
We found an office in a co-working area to house BigCommerce R&D team; after a thorough search, we offered an option that perfectly fit our client and met their expectations. Our team also negotiated all terms with the landlord to ensure that our client got the best conditions.
RECRUITMENT OF DEVELOPERS
At the same time, Alcor’s experienced recruiters took care of finding the right tech specialists. When entering Ukraine, foreign companies usually struggle to engage the best professionals (as they are new and unknown here), yet with our help BigCommerce had already started working with its first developers in around a month.
LEGAL SETTLEMENTS
Our legal specialists have accompanied all aspects of BigCommerce activities in Ukraine. We organized all processes in compliance with the best national and international practices and the client enjoys entirely legitimate, transparent operations.
PAYROLL AND ACCOUNTING
We have also taken care of all payments so that BigCommerce doesn’t need to deal with all local pitfalls of finance and taxes. Our accountants ensure that all activities flow properly in what concerns the remuneration of IT specialists.
