Client: NTMA

Period: Feb-2016 to Jan-2017

The NTMA IT Department were tasked with providing a loans management application to an internal stakeholder.

Client: Popdeem

Period: Jan-2015 to Oct-2015.

It was immediately clear to see that a) they had a truly innovative business and b) plenty of work on their plate to make it a success. They were looking for somebody to steer the technical direction of their sophisticated platform and bring it from a proof-of-concept stage to a robust production-ready platform for their customers.

Client: Linked Finance

Period: Jan-2015 to Jan-2016

The Product Works are proud to have advised the team at LinkedFinance on technology matters. In early 2015, LinkedFinance founder, Peter O'Mahony, asked The Product Works to come on-board to advise on the technology driving the company's peer-to-peer lending platform. We were able to apply our experiences gained from leading a mobile payments company to assess LinkedFinance's current systems. And to make recommendations on future that would ensure that the technology could adequately scale to match LinkedFinance's rapid growth as Ireland's leading business-lending. We're delighted to be a contributor to the growth of indigenous Irish companies through LinkedFinance.
