Summary

In 2019, RemitBee, a Canadian FinTech startup, chose the open-source content management system Strapi to help scale their operations from a team of 5 to 50 members over three years. The decision to use Strapi, despite its beta status, was driven by the need for a flexible, modern, and customizable solution compatible with Node.js and React. This choice enabled RemitBee to develop essential features like scheduling, content internationalization, and an SEO system independently, leading to significant growth in their organic traffic from 10k to 200k monthly visits and an increase in brand searches fivefold. The implementation of Strapi allowed different teams to efficiently create and manage content, reducing webpage creation time from days to minutes and resulting in a website with over 1500 pages. This adaptability in customizing and adding functionalities has been pivotal in the company's growth, facilitating seamless content creation and page building across various teams.
