Auth0 Frees 2–4 Developers to Focus on Nutmeg’s Core Mission
Nutmeg’s lean engineering team is relentlessly focused on serving customers and expanding the company’s services. They estimate that without Auth0, they’d require a team of two to four engineers to maintain an authentication solution.
But thanks to Auth0, Vadgama says, “our engineers and developers can focus on building out our products, as opposed to worrying about ‘Are we up to date with the latest standards in our authorisation service?’” This has a direct impact on Nutmeg’s ability to establish partnerships. “A partner would ask, ‘Do you support OAuth2 authentication?’ And my engineers would have to go and build that for months on months,” Vadgama says. “Whereas now we can say, ‘Yes, we do. Send us across your configuration,’ and off we go. Auth0 has opened the floodgates to B2B partnerships.”
Not having to worry about IAM has also freed up Nutmeg to focus on launching new products, like the Junior ISA offering they debuted earlier this year. “With Auth0, given that our team didn’t have to focus on managing authentication, they were able to put the majority of their capacity behind launching the Junior ISA,” says Vadgama. “That’s a big achievement for our D2C business. It’s brought a whole new audience of customers to Nutmeg.”
Over the coming year, Nutmeg plans to use Auth0 to continue expanding its integrations and explore more advanced authentication and security features, all in the name of serving their customers. “We’re very proud of the technology we’ve built, and we’re proud to continue evolving that,” says Vadgama. “And we’re always leveraging expert platforms, where we can, to ensure that we’re providing the best service to our customers. That’s where our journey with Auth0 began, and it’s important we continue to think in that way.”
