Partnership overview

Backed Inc. teamed with N-iX to develop and support its two major fintech solutions. Thus we provided a dedicated development team specializing in such technologies as Python, Vagrant, Docker, JavaScript, and others.

Firstly, our engineers have built CompareFirst, an online consumer credit platform which helps borrowers compare offers from multiple lenders and choose the best deal. The solution consists of various co-related services based on RPC over TCP/IP protocol. It was built on the basis of Google Cloud Platform using its data virtualization and data storage features.

This allowed N-iX team to effectively store, process and retrieve data within the platform. As a result, CompareFirst provides the borrowers with a variety of credit options enabling them to choose the best financing plan.

Additionally, the team provided support and introduced a number of new features to Backed, the client’s main platform, and worked on the Credium solution. Thus N-iX has delivered a wide range of services, including software product development, architecture design, DevOps, quality assurance and testing.
