Co-development of METRO B2B online marketplace for the HoReCa industry.

Product / Service Description Digital solutions company Ciklum developed the METRO marketplace as strategic partner together with METRO Markets. The platform was developed from scratch within 9 months. Both, Ciklum in Kiev and METRO Markets in Dusseldorf, ramped up development teams with almost 100 specialists on both sides. The multinational teams were structured in a Spotify framework, around end-to-end features, which eliminated dependencies and bottlenecks. A real-time data-driven delivery forecasting system - based on JIRA data and former team performance - was set up, to meet the launch date. Ciklum’s fully automated CI/CD pipeline allows to deploy code and add to new and existing features multiple times per day.
