Project Summary

A fintech startup (Syncedbeans) engaged Extrawest GmbH to supplement its team with technical engineers to build a B2B accounting platform. Extrawest co-designed and implemented front- and backend systems (built largely on Fireface and Google Cloud technologies), developed the UI, and delivered an additional manufacturing module while also providing ad hoc testing, UX, and marketing support. The client praised the team's technical skills, work ethic, and proactive approach, though business growth was affected by COVID-19.

Key Challenges

Supplement the client's technical skills to build systems quickly
Integrate suppliers' accounting systems to eliminate manual invoice recapture
Deliver both front-end and back-end functionality plus a manufacturing planning module

Project Deliverables

B2B platform connecting customers and suppliers
Invoice extraction and integration module
Front-end user interface
Manufacturing module
Frontend and backend implementation

Project Solution

Extrawest co-designed the system with the client's system designer and implemented both front- and backend components. Most development was performed on Fireface and Google Cloud technologies (including Google Functions) using JavaScript and related web technologies. The vendor built the user interface, implemented an invoice extraction/integration feature to pull invoices from suppliers' accounting systems into customers' accounts, and delivered an additional manufacturing module. They also provided ad hoc testing, UX, and marketing support and supplied developers and an account manager embedded with the client's team.

Project Outcome

Clients praised the software as an excellent accounting tool used by accountants and business owners
The product received strong positive feedback, though business growth and further progress were impacted by COVID-19
