Client Overview

Skipr is a leader in corporate mobility solutions, empowering companies to optimize their employees’ travel strategies through a seamless, efficient, and sustainable platform.

Skipr simplifies everything from commuting options to travel reimbursements, helping businesses implement eco-friendly mobility strategies.

For the past four years, Nightborn has proudly partnered with Skipr, providing continuous technical expertise to help them evolve into a key player in the mobility tech industry.

The Challenge

As Skipr grew, they needed to stay at the forefront of performance and user experience. Their front-end codebase required a complete revamp to keep up with modern technologies, while their back-end systems needed to scale with their expanding user base.

At the same time, Skipr faced a leadership transition, where Nightborn stepped in to provide CTO-level leadership, guiding the team through this critical period.

The key challenge was maintaining technical continuity and driving platform innovation, all while ensuring smooth leadership handovers.

In addition to strategic oversight, Skipr needed ongoing full-stack development support for their front-end, back-end, mobile, and API layers to ensure their platform could scale without disruptions.

Our Solution

Nightborn has worked closely with Skipr for over four years, delivering hands-on development and strategic guidance across all aspects of their platform. Key elements of our solution include:

  • Next.js Front-End Revamp: We rebuilt Skipr’s front-end using Next.js, providing a modern, scalable solution that dramatically improved performance and user experience. The upgrade delivered faster load times and smoother navigation while supporting new features with ease.
  • Long-Term Full-Stack Development: Our team of front-end and back-end developers provided continuous support across all areas of Skipr’s platform, ensuring seamless integration between web, mobile, and backend infrastructure. From API development to technical support, we’ve ensured Skipr’s platform remains stable and scalable as they grow.
  • CTO as a Service & Leadership Transition: During a period of leadership change, Nightborn provided CTO-level leadership to ensure the technical roadmap stayed on track. We guided the team through the transition, ensuring strategic continuity between the outgoing CEO and the new CTO while maintaining a strong focus on growth.
  • Strategic and Technical Support: Nightborn has continuously offered technical consulting and support, helping Skipr solve complex backend issues, choose future-ready technologies, and ensure long-term platform scalability.
