Manushare, a startup founded by Markus Herold and Patrick Hausmann, envisioned a digital marketplace to address challenges in the manufacturing industry, such as skilled labor shortages, intense competition, complex supply chains, and secure resource procurement. Initially, they collaborated with freelance developers abroad, but faced issues due to quality concerns, communication barriers, and a lack of understanding of the German market. Seeking a reliable development partner in Germany, they engaged WeAreGroup to complete their Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and professionalize the application's operations.

WeAreGroup swiftly assembled an interdisciplinary team to address the project's challenges. Given the urgency for a rapid market entry to validate the MVP and engage initial customers, the focus was on efficient and effective development. The team navigated the complexities of existing, inconsistent code from previous freelancers, identifying and rectifying issues, including missing security mechanisms in file handling. Despite these hurdles, they successfully implemented the desired features and resolved identified errors within a short development timeframe.

Through this partnership, WeAreGroup overhauled significant portions of the platform's user interface and advanced the software to a functional MVP. This included implementing typical functionalities of a digital marketplace, such as user registration, profile management, and a search feature to connect suppliers and seekers within the manufacturing industry. The successful launch of Manushare's MVP has positioned it as a potential disruptor in the sector, offering transparency and networking opportunities that address the industry's pressing challenges.
