Project Summary

A German financial firm (Bita) hired Capicua to augment their team with senior front-end developers to build a complex UI for a financial-index product. Capicua delivered a pixel‑perfect front end using React.js and Redux, integrated it with REST and WebSocket back ends, and provided a Node.js service for automated PDF visualizations. Stakeholders praised the UI as beautiful, intuitive, and responsive, and the developers also contributed QA and product-management support.

Key Challenges

Needed senior front-end developers because the internal IT team focused on back-end and quantitative development
Lacked personnel to implement a complex front end that visualizes large amounts of financial data
Had designs and back-end in place but required front-end expertise to create pixel-perfect views

Project Deliverables

Front-end UI with 10+ complex views
Integration with back-end via REST API and WebSocket
Back-end Node.js service generating automated PDFs with financial data visualizations

Project Solution

Capicua provided a small team of senior front-end developers to implement a pixel-perfect UI consisting of more than 10 complex views using React.js and Redux. They integrated the front end with the client's back-end via REST APIs and a WebSocket server. Additionally, Capicua delivered a Node.js back-end service that generated automated PDFs with financial data visualizations, and the CEO provided product-management support.

Project Outcome

Front-end praised as beautiful, intuitive, and responsive
Developers integrated seamlessly with the client's project management and provided QA/testing consultation
