Project Summary

A Chicago-based property management company engaged Calibraint to build custom software including prototypes and a full-stack production platform. Calibraint delivered phased work — prototypes, an initial production release, and a live production deployment — and redesigned the backend to improve devops capabilities. The launched product onboarded eight customers with fewer than 10 reported issues and no customer attrition; the team managed work via Confluence, Slack, Jira and biweekly sprints.

Key Challenges

Custom software development to support property management workflows.
Difficulty estimating timelines and addressing backend performance problems that required an overhaul.

Project Deliverables

Software demos and prototypes
Full-stack production software with restricted capabilities
Redesigned backend with improved DevOps capabilities
Live client production deployment

Project Solution

Calibraint developed the product in phases: phase 1 delivered demos and prototypes for idea testing (Node and Solidity mentioned), phase 2 produced an initial full-stack application using Node.js, Vue.js, SendGrid and PostgreSQL, and phase 3 delivered live production software with a redesigned backend and improved DevOps capabilities implemented in Python and deployed on AWS. The vendor managed the engagement with biweekly sprints and standard tooling (Confluence, Slack, Jira).

Project Outcome

Successfully launched product and onboarded eight customers.
Fewer than 10 customer-reported issues and no customer attrition.
