Accelerating digital healthcare transformation without disrupting delivery
Client
BeeHealthy is a digital customer engagement platform serving healthcare operators across both the public and private sectors. Part of the Finnish healthcare group Mehiläinen, BeeHealthy is the digital front door to healthcare services. It offers appointment booking, patient management, e-prescriptions, and system integrations. At this junction of healthcare, SaaS, and regulated digital infrastructure, the company must scale up but keep reliability, compliance, and a great user experience.
Business Context
Scaling capacity in a dynamic product environment. Digitalization of healthcare moves quickly, but hiring engineers does not. This was a necessary challenge for BeeHealthy to expand engineering capabilities to fuel certain projects and quickly ramp up transformations to a new technology stack. The challenge was not the steady headcount growth but scalable capacity in critical stages of the development process.
The key requirements were very unambiguous:
- Rapid ramp-up.
- Smooth integration into distributed teams.
- A keen command of SQL and full-stack abilities.
- Support in the journey of transformation and technical stack migration.
- Reliability of the delivery system, and cultural fit.
The Solution
B3 provided a dedicated team of full-stack specialists supporting the development and transformation of BeeHealthy’s SaaS platform.
The engagement focused on:
- Supporting migration to a new technology stack.
- Optimizing and maintaining complex SQL infrastructure.
- Full-stack development using Node.js, React and PostgreSQL.
- Contributing across multiple teams as transformation specialists.
Rather than operating as an external delivery silo, B3 consultants worked inside BeeHealthy’s existing distributed team model. Remote collaboration was already standard practice, and the one-hour time difference between Finland and Poland ensured operational efficiency.
“There is a tradition of doing Nearshoaring in Poland. You have people who have used to work with the foreign projects within the foreign teams. It's kind of inheritance.
The talent you get via B3 fits well into the team, so there's quite easygoing process on that. B3 is very convenient and good partner for the building up and ramping up the extra capacity on the teams.
— Marko Maunula, Chief Technology Officer at BeeHealthy
Results
The engagement evolved into a long-term, two-year and still ongoing partnership. At peak delivery, the team successfully scaled to four highly skilled consultants, ensuring consistent support, rapid knowledge transfer, and continuous optimization of the client’s SQL infrastructure.
