Smart Data and Winsupply leaders standing together in an office

Winsupply, a national leader in wholesale distribution, sought to expand its global operations through the creation of a new Global Development Center (GDC) in Hyderabad, India. Winsupply expanded its partnership with Smart Data to build the team, which has since grown past 100 engineers, and Smart Data led the initiative, from recruitment and onboarding to training and process improvement.

The challenge

Beyond hiring, Winsupply needed help establishing infrastructure, aligning development practices with its U.S. teams, and getting the offshore team contributing across operations, inventory, marketing, AR and AP.

Five team leaders standing together in an office, one holding a welcome bouquet

The solution

Smart Data deployed a full lifecycle delivery model to establish and grow Winsupply’s Hyderabad operations:

  • Team building: Recruited and onboarded 40+ engineers across core technical roles
  • Mentorship: Delivered SDLC workshops and process alignment activities
  • Technical leadership: Focused efforts across five business domains: Ops IT, Inventory, Marketing IT, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
  • Technology: AS400, RPG, DB2, Java, Angular and Selenium for QA automation
  • Culture alignment: Promoted communication, shared learning and flexible collaboration across time zones

The results

  • Offshore center established and fully operational within one year

  • Built from zero: 40+ engineers hired in the first year, since grown to 100+

  • SDLC integration achieved, with cross-team collaboration and mentorship

  • Scope expanded beyond staff augmentation into process improvement and developer training

  • Ongoing partnership

“Winsupply has partnered with Smart Data to augment our software development teams for many years. More recently, our partnership has expanded on a worldwide scale to meet ever growing business demands. Smart Data offers more than the typical staff augmentation or software development company. They go beyond just delivering our projects or expanding our teams. For Winsupply, they have gone above and beyond. Rather than just delivering our projects, their team has taken a step further by providing mentorship and training to our developer and project teams… Smart Data is flexible and a good partner to work with when you’re trying to solve your company’s unique business problems.”
