Project Summary

DevTeamSpace refactored and optimized a logistics company's two-part software (internal administration and Agent SaaS). They identified performance, security, and structural issues, performed load and performance testing, introduced PHP and JavaScript frameworks, and reorganized the codebase. The engagement resulted in dramatically improved responsiveness and project management practices, and the client plans to continue working with the vendor.

Key Challenges

Complex two-part software (Internal administration and Agent SaaS)
Outdated codebase and significant time lag/performance issues
Need for a long-term product development partner to identify issues, fix them, and manage the project

Project Deliverables

Extensive diagnostic report and prioritized issue list
Load and performance testing results
Introduced PHP and JS frameworks
Refactored codebase and removed 800 unused files
Phased project management processes (weekly sprints, daily communications)

Project Solution

DevTeamSpace produced an extensive diagnostic report that prioritized code-structure, security, and performance issues. They performed load and performance testing to identify bottlenecks, outlined a long-term plan for improvements, introduced PHP and JavaScript frameworks, and executed code improvements and cleanup. They also implemented phased planning and ongoing project management, taking over management of the product on a long-term basis.

Project Outcome

Significantly increased software performance (some SQL queries reduced from up to 360 seconds to under 5 seconds)
Removed over 800 unused and poorly organized files and vastly improved the codebase
Software is much more responsive and better organized
Client adopted new project management practices and plans long-term collaboration
