Project Summary

XSolve built the MVP of a customer portal for sonnen using React, delivering a visually improved frontend that visualizes energy data and activity. The portal is hosted on Amazon Web Services (using CloudFront and Elastic Beanstalk) and uses libraries such as Highcharts. The product is live, has received positive user feedback, and the vendor continues to work with sonnen on further development.

Key Challenges

Build an MVP frontend for a customer portal within a few months.
Make the portal visually appealing and easy to understand to engage customers and create ambassadors for the product.
Ensure stability, fast page loading times, easy integration of new features, and minimal downtime.
Achieve a high user satisfaction target (aiming for an average score of four out of five or higher).

Project Solution

XSolve developed the MVP frontend of sonnen's customer portal using React. They implemented visualizations using libraries such as Highcharts and hosted the portal on Amazon Web Services (including CloudFront and Elastic Beanstalk).

Project Outcome

The product is now live and has received incredibly positive customer satisfaction survey responses.
The client observed early results and continues to work with XSolve on further portal development.
The vendor became a trusted partner and was selected to collaborate on a new flagship project.

Quality of Deliverables

“XSolve contributed to the speedy and successful completion of the portal. The portal is live and garners positive feedback from users. Through the accomplishment of this project, the team became an invaluable partner for future projects. They offer strong technical expertise and high engagement. The XSolve team worked on this project prior to the merge with Chilid Agency in September 2018 that formed Boldare.”
