Introduction
At Interfell, we believe that consistent, high-quality work starts with connecting companies to the right professionals, no matter where they are located.
One example is our success story with Síntesis S.A., a Bolivian company with more than 23 years of experience in the digital payments ecosystem. Síntesis provides services such as fund distribution, collections, insurance policies, electronic sales, remittances, bonuses, and biometric transactional systems.
Through Interfell, Síntesis found the specialized remote biometrics talent it needed to optimize its platform and reach a processing capacity of 100 biometric verifications per second.
The Objective
Síntesis needed to improve the biometric services offered through its platform, including technologies and environments such as AFIS/ABIS, Java, J2EE, Apache, and Tomcat.
The goal was clear: modernize the biometric infrastructure, improve platform performance, and provide more complete and secure services to its clients.
To achieve this, Síntesis required a professional with deep experience in biometric software development and transactional systems.
The Challenge
Hiring for this project was not simple. Síntesis needed a highly specific technical profile with experience in both systems development and biometrics.
The main challenges included:
Finding a Highly Specialized Professional
The project required an experienced developer with knowledge of biometric technologies, transactional systems, and infrastructure modernization.
Updating the Biometric IT Infrastructure
Síntesis needed to adapt, modify, and update its existing platform to make it more versatile, scalable, and compatible with the local technology market.
Meeting Strict Performance and Security Expectations
Because the platform supported payment-related services, reliability, speed, and security were essential. The system needed to support secure biometric transactions at scale.
The Solution
After several months of local searching, Síntesis partnered with Interfell to expand its access to specialized professionals.
Using its extensive database of vetted remote talent, Interfell led a search and selection process focused on identifying a qualified biometrics expert who could meet the technical and operational needs of the project.
As a result, Síntesis was matched with a specialized remote developer capable of supporting the modernization of its biometric transactional platform.
The project included the development and implementation of a functional, modular software solution designed to update the biometric platform and improve its compatibility with Síntesis’ existing services.
How to Optimize a Biometric Payment System with Remote Talent
To optimize a biometric payment system with remote talent, companies should first define the platform’s technical requirements, including verification speed, security needs, biometric capture methods, and compatibility with existing infrastructure.
Next, they should identify professionals with experience in biometric verification platforms, AFIS/ABIS systems, Java, J2EE, Apache, Tomcat, and secure transactional environments.
With the right remote expert, companies can modernize biometric infrastructure, improve system performance, strengthen transaction security, and scale digital payment services without being limited by the local hiring market.
Voices behind the Project
Andrés Alberdi, Payments Business Unit Manager at Síntesis S.A.
“After several months of local searching, Interfell became the solution we were looking for to meet our talent needs. They found the right professional — someone who met the requirements in systems development and had experience in biometrics.”
Abraham Mousalli, Business Consultant at Interfell
“Síntesis has shown me that any company can trust our services. Even though this was a profile with highly specific and specialized skills, we managed to find talent that exceeded their expectations. This was possible thanks to the constant and effective communication we maintained throughout every stage of the recruitment and hiring process.”
Williams Carrasquero, Computer Engineer and Biometrics Developer
“Although this is my first time working remotely, I find it very comfortable. The biometric transactional platform I am working on allows fingerprint, document, and facial capture and verification through the Neurotechnology Biometric SDK 10.0 system. Thanks to this, the platform is currently capable of performing 100 checks per second.”
The Results
With the support of specialized remote talent, Síntesis improved the versatility, compatibility, quality, and security indicators of its biometric transactional platform.
The platform became capable of supporting fingerprint, document, and facial capture and verification using the Neurotechnology Biometric SDK 10.0 system.
Most importantly, Síntesis reached a processing capacity of 100 biometric checks per second.
This improvement helped the company carry out economic transactions with greater speed, reliability, and security.
Key result: Síntesis optimized its biometric payment platform with specialized remote talent from Interfell and reached 100 verifications per second.
Why This Success Story Matters for Latin American Tech Companies
