Project Summary

Codal supplied and managed a team of engineers to build a data-driven business intelligence web portal for school transportation using an AngularJS frontend and a Python/Django backend. The vendor used Agile practices, met a tight schedule for the initial release, and continued supporting the platform on retainer.

Key Challenges

  • Develop a national business intelligence portal for school districts across the US and Canada
  • Present complex analytics in an accessible starter kit for non-technical transportation directors
  • Meet a tight timeframe and short deadline

Project Deliverables

  • Custom web portal / business intelligence platform
  • AngularJS/HTML5/CSS3 frontend
  • Python/Django backend
  • APIs for integration with other providers
  • Dashboards with ~40 elements and ~60 data points
  • Modular 'LEGO-like' modules released incrementally

Project Solution

Codal integrated the client's analytics into a custom web portal, building an AngularJS/HTML5/CSS3 frontend and a Python/Django backend and delivering APIs for third-party integration. The team used Agile practices and an incremental, modular release plan (a new module approximately every 10 weeks), producing a starter kit of about 60 data points and ~40 dashboard elements and enabling white-labeling for other industries.

Project Outcome

  • Adopted by 4 U.S. states, 2 Canadian provinces, and one Middle Eastern country.
  • Platform launched Nov. 6, 2016 after a 5-month build; delivered on time and within budget.
  • Ongoing retainer engagement and additional modular expansion planned.
