OVERVIEW
Who is Smartsight?
Our client is a consultant belonging to a similar industry who conceived of a platform for top management to calculate and analyze project profitability. The client needed to build a SaaS application where companies purchased accounts to use the software online. The project began as a concept when the client approached us to build the web application and an iPhone app.
Challenges
Complex Processes
Due to the complexity of the process flow maintaining user experience across the site provided a challenge. Since this was a one of a kind application special coding needed to be done for functions the reporting API did not support. A third party reporting tool would be integrated into the application. We also needed to create a custom definition and discovery of the process flow mechanism for the web application.
User interface and payment gateway
This application turned into an evolving project with changes in functionality after the initial understanding of the concept. A payment gateway was needed that could process payment transactions for businesses outside of the country. Graphical representations of reporting features would become a challenge. Reporting features added complexity to the mobile device compatibility.
Solution and Execution
Project Discovery and Design
A proper discovery phase was given to define the process flow. Designs and custom development for the online platform was done using the .NET MVC framework. Resource allocation was dedicated to the project with timely reporting by an account manager, project manager, senior designer, HTML developer, senior developer, and a testing analyst.
Implementation Process
We developed an SEO friendly website on an AWS server with EC2 for project scalability. The website was done with future scalability and future addition of modules. Third party integration for the graphical reports, a payment gateway using Paypal for a successful out of country payment transaction, and ‘Fusion Chart’ was used for graphical representation of reports.
Browser Compatibility and Maintenance
Testing of browsers for smartphones and iPhone application was completed. Maintenance of the whole project is an ongoing item for our client.
