This adaptability and leadership solidified Full Scale as Lytho's core offshore engineering strategy.
AMC Theatres
AMC's engineering organization faced challenges scaling at an enterprise pace, with an annual three-month budgeting process across 175 projects that quickly became obsolete. The company needed to expand engineering capacity rapidly without incurring the 30-40% overhead and vendor layers typical of traditional outsourcing. Additionally, they required a team structure that maintained alignment and ownership to respond swiftly to high-value opportunities, such as a $70-million idea with only a six-week execution window. To address these issues, AMC implemented a strategy centered on integrated global teams, moving away from transactional outsourcing. This involved engineers in the Philippines becoming fully integrated team members, participating in the same standups and using the same tools as their US counterparts, which helped eliminate the 30-40% overhead of traditional vendor models.

This hindered their progress and left them searching for a dependable partner who could understand and advance their vision. Full Scale approached Facility Ally's situation by focusing on enhancing and improving their existing platform instead of dismantling it. This innovative strategy not only conserved resources but also valued the effort Facility Ally had already invested. Full Scale provided clarity and simplicity, implementing solutions designed to advance the platform without unnecessary overhauls. The collaboration led to a remarkable transformation, with development solutions streamlining operations and management for Facility Ally. This partnership established a scalable foundation that supported sustained business growth and innovation.

Their internal development team was dissolving, creating a critical dilemma: hire new talent or seek an alternative solution. Previous negative experiences with offshore resources made the decision daunting, leaving them at a crossroads regarding their development strategy. Full Scale assembled a dedicated team of English-speaking developers from the Philippines to address NavMD's challenges. This strategic decision aimed to overcome previous communication barriers experienced with offshore teams. The approach focused on seamless integration with NavMD's operations, ensuring communication was foundational to success. This methodology accelerated development processes and built trust and efficiency. The collaboration resulted in significant success, marked by zero issues in web development. This outcome underscored the synergy between the teams and the effectiveness of the solution-oriented mindset.

Unlike previous experiences, Full Scale's developers demonstrated quick learning and delivered quality work efficiently. Their distinct internal systems for developer training and project management ensured that any expertise gaps were rapidly addressed, fostering a streamlined onboarding process and an environment of continuous improvement. This collaboration successfully catalyzed the redevelopment of PMI Rate Pro's technology infrastructure, enabling them to exceed product expansion goals and achieve greater success. The seamless integration of the Full Scale team underscored the value of their structured and system-driven approach. Working together ultimately resulted in high-quality deliverables and a significant acceleration in the company's development timeline.
SOTA Cloud
SOTA Cloud faced significant challenges in scaling its engineering team due to a scarcity of specialized technical talent in the Philippines, despite rapid growth in a niche medical imaging space. Their lean one-person HR team and senior engineers were overwhelmed by the extensive process of filtering, interviewing, and evaluating candidates in a globally competitive market. This resulted in a slow, expensive hiring cycle and a risk of losing continuity in an industry with high engineer job-hopping. To overcome these hurdles, SOTA Cloud partnered with Full Scale, adopting a staff augmentation model that integrated pre-vetted engineers from the Philippines directly into their team. Full Scale rigorously screened candidates for both technical capability and cultural fit before SOTA Cloud even saw them, effectively pre-qualifying the hiring funnel. This approach liberated SOTA Cloud's HR and senior engineering team from time-consuming initial candidate filtration, significantly streamlining the entire recruitment process. The partnership successfully brought in top-performing engineers who quickly became integral members, taking ownership of critical product areas like legacy system conversions, patient bridging tools, and secure imaging pipelines. This pre-vetting model drastically reduced hiring overhead, saved expenses, and accelerated the time to integrate qualified talent. Furthermore, Full Scale actively supported engineer retention, even intervening to prevent the loss of a key engineer mid-project, ensuring critical continuity for the platform serving over 1,000 dental locations.

Watson co-founded VinSolutions, the #1 CRM in the auto industry which was acquired for approximately $150 million, and founded Stackify, a developer tools company. Full Scale was born from Watson's personal experience hiring offshore developers for Stackify in 2018, when he established a team in the Philippines that became central to the company's eventual exit. Full Scale provides staff augmentation services by placing senior Filipino engineers directly onto U.S. client teams as dedicated, full-time members. Unlike traditional offshore outsourcing models, Full Scale's engineers work in clients' repositories, attend their standups, and report to their engineering leadership while Full Scale handles recruiting, payroll, benefits, HR, equipment, and retention in the Philippines. The company has placed over 1,000 engineers and delivered 5+ million development hours since 2018. The company differentiates itself through its Product Driven engineering methodology, training engineers on the five pillars of Vision, Focus, Clarity, Ownership, and Courage from Matt Watson's book. Engineers are also trained to use modern AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude, and Cursor as thinking partners while maintaining engineering judgment. This approach has resulted in 93%+ annual employee retention, compared to the offshore industry average of 30-50% churn. Full Scale serves 200+ U.S. companies across SaaS, fintech, healthcare, and enterprise sectors, including Fortune 500 clients like AMC Theatres.

SOTA Cloud
SOTA Cloud faced significant challenges in scaling its engineering team due to a scarcity of specialized technical talent in the Philippines, despite rapid growth in a niche medical imaging space. Their lean one-person HR team and senior engineers were overwhelmed by the extensive process of filtering, interviewing, and evaluating candidates in a globally competitive market. This resulted in a slow, expensive hiring cycle and a risk of losing continuity in an industry with high engineer job-hopping. To overcome these hurdles, SOTA Cloud partnered with Full Scale, adopting a staff augmentation model that integrated pre-vetted engineers from the Philippines directly into their team. Full Scale rigorously screened candidates for both technical capability and cultural fit before SOTA Cloud even saw them, effectively pre-qualifying the hiring funnel. This approach liberated SOTA Cloud's HR and senior engineering team from time-consuming initial candidate filtration, significantly streamlining the entire recruitment process. The partnership successfully brought in top-performing engineers who quickly became integral members, taking ownership of critical product areas like legacy system conversions, patient bridging tools, and secure imaging pipelines. This pre-vetting model drastically reduced hiring overhead, saved expenses, and accelerated the time to integrate qualified talent. Furthermore, Full Scale actively supported engineer retention, even intervening to prevent the loss of a key engineer mid-project, ensuring critical continuity for the platform serving over 1,000 dental locations.
The capability of the folks that Full Scale has brought to our team has been phenomenal. The Full Scale team has staffed us with top performers in our company, even relative to some of the folks that we have here in the US. We really highly value retention, and so Full Scale has been a great partner on the retention front to ensure that we have continuity with the folks that we really value on our team.
