Challenge
The Island Bargains software system had up to 30-second page loading delays and an outdated PHP and Java codebase with no frameworks. They needed a new product development partner to step in, identify the most critical issues, and fix them to boost the platform’s operation performance. They also needed a partner to take over the management of the entire project on a long-term basis, helping to expand the business through business process software automation and introducing new customer-facing software solutions.
Solution
For the initial phase, we assigned a dedicated development team, who then conducted a detailed code review to identify all the code performance and security problems that needed to be addressed. Our development team also conducted load and performance testing, identified the code bottlenecks, and outlined a shortlist of critical issues and a long-term code improvement plan. We also introduced PHP and JS frameworks with support work, code improvements, and implementation of new features.
The initial phase of the engagement lasted over a year, after which we assigned a mobile app development team. We built a new mobile app for both the iOS and Android platforms, enabling Island Bargains’ customers to benefit from a highly performant platform and a streamlined user experience.
In addition, our web development team implemented a new Point of Sale (POS) system, integrated various services for better customer service, and helped link the software warehouse system with the company’s new IoT product scanners, which drastically increased operational efficiency.
Results
We are happy to report that Island Bargains’ software platform and mobile products are on a solid and successful growth trajectory. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration going forward and seeing their business grow as a result.
