The Client


Summary
The Challenge
The internal USFCR IT team didn’t have the capacity to achieve the application rewrite and needed a partner that could work with them to define a backlog of requirements, mock up a user-friendly UI, and architect a robust solution that would allow for scaling and customization as their client base grew.
The legacy platform was hosted on DigitalOcean and needed to be rebuilt and moved to AWS for faster and better data management. In addition, new data sources needed to be added to give the platform an edge over competing platforms.
The system also needed to be closely integrated with Salesforce for a more seamless customer acquisition process. To manage the new platform fully as a SaaS product a brand new administrative portal also had to be designed and built so that different subscription tiers could be configured and sold by the sales team.

What We Built

We then went through a UI design phase, defining system requirements and creating a completely new user interface that was easy to navigate, while providing access to a wide range of contracting data needed by the users.
New functionality was introduced enhancing contract searchability and giving more in-depth opportunity management to follow, save, and bid on contracts. Greater customization was also built into the system through the addition of an administrative portal allowing USFCR admins to easily toggle on and off user features based on their subscription level.
Greater Salesforce and data source integrations were also introduced to give the platform access to more information, increasing its usability and usefulness.
Through our AWS architecture upgrades, we were able to improve monitoring through CloudWatch and CloudTrail, reduce operating costs by hosting over S3 and using RDS for the storage of operational and transactional data, and provide more secure user management using IAM and Cognito.
