Project Summary

GLOBALDEV (formerly SteelKiwi) built a web-based delegate training platform for a UK engineering consultancy to manage delegate registration, profiles, training history, and accreditation. The vendor delivered wireframes, visual design, and a Django/Python backend with MySQL and AWS integrations, and their work led to ongoing development and design engagements. Reviewers praise the team's code quality, responsiveness, and ability to adapt to changing requirements.

Key Challenges

  • Need for a platform to manage delegate training on internal renewable energy standards
  • Requirement to replace manual processes and spreadsheets for data collection and reporting (traffic surveys)
  • Lack of in-house expertise for custom platform development, necessitating an external partner

Project Deliverables

  • Web-based delegate training platform
  • Delegate profiles and training history
  • Employer search and compliance verification features
  • Paperless accreditation issuance for training providers
  • Internal traffic survey application
  • Wireframes and UI visual collateral
  • Backend implemented with Django and MySQL
  • AWS S3 storage and SES email integration

Project Solution

SteelKiwi developed a web-based platform that enables delegates to register, obtain profiles, and view their training history. Employers can search for delegates, verify that training is up-to-date, and confirm compliance; training providers can issue paperless accreditation globally. The vendor provided requirements, wireframe sketches, visual collateral, and implemented the system using the Django Python framework with a MySQL back end and AWS integrations (S3 for file storage and SES for email). SteelKiwi also built an internal traffic survey application to replace manual spreadsheet processes and staffed the engagement with an 8–10 person team including a project manager, QA personnel, developers, and a designer.

Project Outcome

  • Provided professional service with strong software engineering and quality
  • Team was responsive and quick to resolve issues
  • Project management was straightforward with regular show-and-tell reviews and Jira for tracking
  • Delivered results within budget and on time
  • Engagement led to ongoing development work and additional projects in the pipeline
