The Problem

Switch Automation is a US-based software company helping large property portfolios become smarter and more sustainable through building performance data. Their platform gives real-time visibility into energy use, equipment faults, and more, enabling better building operations.

As their client base grew, Switch needed to accelerate product development. But their in-house engineering team was already stretched. Hiring locally would take months, and they needed results fast. So they turned to Coder Trove to quickly bring in skilled engineers who could hit the ground running.

• Client: Switch Automation (USA)

• Industry: Building IoT / PropTech

• Business Type: Enterprise SaaS

• Service: Staff augmentation with software engineers

• Goal: Scale up engineering capacity and speed up product delivery

 🖥️ The Challenge

Switch’s platform was growing rapidly, and so were the expectations of their customers. To keep up, they needed to:

1. Expand their engineering capacity — fast
2. Ship new features without disrupting existing operations
3. Maintain enterprise-level quality and security
4. Integrate new team members seamlessly into their workflow

They weren’t just looking for developers to write code.

They needed product-minded engineers who could think critically, collaborate closely, and deliver fast, without long onboarding or steep learning curves.

The Solution

   Coder Trove provided a dedicated team of full-time software engineers, handpicked to match Switch’s tech stack and working style. These engineers:

1. Embedded directly into the internal team’s standups and sprints
2. Contributed to architectural and product planning discussions
3. Delivered high-quality code with minimal oversight
4. Adapted to Switch’s agile workflow and culture
5. Communicated clearly across time zones and teams

Our developers weren’t external contractors. They acted like Switch team members from day one, bringing strong technical execution along with deep collaboration and ownership.

The Result

With CoderTrove’s support, Switch Automation was able to:

1. Speed up the delivery of key product features

2. Avoid the delays and costs of local hiring

3. Increase capacity without growing headcount permanently

4. Improve collaboration between product and engineering teams

5. Stay flexible — scaling up or down as needed

The partnership allowed Switch to meet strategic goals while staying lean, fast-moving, and responsive to customer needs.

“CoderTrove’s engineers integrated quickly and added real value from the start. Their ability to think beyond the code — about the product and the end user — made them a true extension of our team.” — VP of Engineering, Switch Automation
