Overview
Sika is an American company that simplifies healthcare purchases by facilitating payments through HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) systems. As a vital platform for both healthcare providers and patients, Sika ensures a smooth, user-friendly experience that integrates seamlessly with healthcare benefits programs.

Objective
Sika Health was on a mission to fasten product development and launch by expanding its in-house team capabilities. However, hiring an onsite team in the United States proved to be cost-prohibitive. Sika needed a solution that would allow them to meet their growth demands while remaining within a sustainable budget. They sought a cost-effective, remote team of Product Owners, UX/UI Designers, MERN Full Stack Developers, and Shopify Developers with the technical expertise required to drive innovation for their platform.
Challenges
- High costs associated with hiring and maintaining an onsite team in the USA.
- Tight deadlines for onboarding a highly skilled team capable of handling the complexity of the Sika platform.
- A need for expert developers and designers proficient in modern technologies to ensure the platform’s continued growth and competitiveness.
