The challenge

Bounteous builds digital services for restaurant and convenience-store clients, serving 13,000 locations that process large volumes of transactions. Writing and maintaining custom API tests and coordinating between QA and software engineers was slow.

The solution

Bounteous adopted Postman, using Collections, Environments, and Monitors with a Slack integration to standardize test development and pinpoint when problems entered test environments.

Postman is the ideal partner. It is by developers for developers, so there's a mutual respect.

Bounteous serves 13,000 restaurants and convenience stores that process 160 million digital transactions worth $2 billion annually.
