YieldGuru Investments, operated by Thread Needle Capital OÜ, is pioneering a crowd-investing platform for E-mobility assets with quarterly yields. Investors gain fractional ownership in public transport E-Buses, taxi EVs, and a network of charging stations. Their platform delivers specialized stakeholder interfaces — an EV-Operator Dashboard to monitor fleet performance and optimize operations, and an Investor Dashboard to manage diversified EV portfolios and track returns.
Challenge
Before partnering with Kontorva, YieldGuru had faced repeated delays and inefficiencies after working with independent contractors and local dev shops. Their EV tokenization platform required a complete technology overhaul — from architecture redesign to codebase organization — to meet security, scalability, and agile development needs. Without a cohesive technology strategy, execution of their 6-month roadmap was at risk, and operational focus was diluted by ongoing tech issues.
Solution
Kontorva delivered its CTO-as-a-Service enterprise solution, taking full ownership of YieldGuru’s technology function.
Solution Highlights:
- Website Refactor — Modernized and optimized the front end for speed, security, and user experience.
- System Architecture Overhaul — Designed a comprehensive, scalable, and secure architecture to support the EV tokenization platform’s future growth.
- Security Enhancements — Implemented advanced protocols to safeguard investor data and operational systems.
- Codebase Reorganization — Structured repositories for modular, agile development, enabling seamless collaboration and sprint execution.
- Agile Delivery — Executed sprints with consistent communication and timely delivery, aligned with the pre-agreed 6-month roadmap.
Results
- Full Technology Outsourcing Achieved — YieldGuru confidently handed over the CTO function, allowing leadership to focus on operations and fundraising.
- Operational Efficiency Boost — Product roadmap execution accelerated, with all deliverables met within timelines.
- Organized, Scalable Infrastructure — Platform now supports agile iterations, reducing time-to-market for new features.
