Project Summary

Capicua provides a dedicated development team to a training and data analytics company (APX Platform), supplying full-stack developers, a QA engineer, and a UI/UX designer. The team uses Figma, PostgreSQL, React, Node.js, and TypeScript to redevelop inherited components, build a training module, data analytics features, and a BI dashboard. Capicua helped move the product from a proof-of-concept to a beta in production and supports ongoing releases for ~300 customers, collaborating via Slack, Jira, Zoom, and GitHub.

Key Challenges

Find affordable, high-quality full-stack developers who work within the client's time zone
Provide a flexible team that can scale up and down to meet startup needs
Redevelop and fix components of an inherited, barely functional software environment
Move the development process to a design-driven workflow requiring mock-ups before implementation

Project Deliverables

Training module with video assignment and progress reporting
Data analytics feature with financial and operational calculators
Business intelligence (BI) dashboard for KPI consumption
Redeveloped/refactored software components inherited from a previous vendor
UI/UX mock-ups and design assets
API integrations

Project Solution

Capicua supplied a team of full-stack developers, a QA engineer, and a UI/UX designer to act as the client's development team. They redeveloped problematic components inherited from a previous vendor, implemented new features across a training module and data analytics system, produced UI/UX mock-ups (using Figma) to enable design-driven development, and built integrations and a business intelligence dashboard. The team used PostgreSQL for data, React for frontend, Node.js (with TypeScript) for backend development, and collaborated with the client via Slack, Zoom, Jira, and GitHub.

Project Outcome

Transformed a barely functional system into a fully functional product now in beta/production
Enabled ~300 customers to use the platform
Reduced development time and improved alignment by introducing UI/UX mock-ups
Ongoing development and regular releases supported by the vendor
