Project Summary

Ceiba Software is building an e-commerce webstore for an entertainment-park client that includes a time-slot booking engine, inventory rental tied to venue availability, online waivers, and safety videos. The team uses Vue 3, TypeScript, Figma, Zeplin, and AWS Cognito to implement the site. With Ceiba’s assistance the client has increased development velocity and consistently completes projects faster than anticipated, taking on about 14% more story points on average per sprint. The client is a project manager at a live entertainment company that provides technology solutions for entertainment parks.

Project Solution

Ceiba Software developed the architecture and a demo for an e-commerce webstore targeted at entertainment businesses. The vendor implemented a booking engine with time-slot scheduling and ability-level differentiation, an inventory-rental system tied to each venue's supplies and availability, online waiver forms, safety video delivery, and guest account creation and authentication. The team used Vue 3 and TypeScript for development, Figma and Zeplin for UI, and AWS Cognito for authentication. Work proceeded from product documentation supplied by the client's product department, and the vendor expanded the team from six to eight developers to increase capacity.

Project Outcome

60% of sprints ended with more story points than originally committed.
Average story points per sprint increased by 14%.
The client reports improved production speed and that projects are completed faster than anticipated.
The vendor is regarded as an agile, flexible, responsive partner with strong communication and documentation.
