Project Summary

RAD4M developed a B2B survey-oriented web platform for GoGift that lets consumers complete quizzes or surveys to earn gift cards. The vendor implemented an Angular 2 frontend and a .NET/MVC backend and set up a CI/CD pipeline using Git, TeamCity and Octopus. The client praised RAD4M’s efficiency, adaptability and cost-effectiveness despite documentation gaps and some language barriers. The engagement began in December 2016 and is nearing completion.

Key Challenges

Create a B2B platform enabling consumers to complete quizzes and surveys to receive gift cards
Lack of prior documentation for the existing system
Backend technology changes and shifting feature requirements during development

Project Deliverables

Frontend built with Angular 2
Backend implemented on .NET MVC
Continuous integration pipeline (Git → TeamCity → Octopus)
Test-environment deployments and QA support

Project Solution

The vendor built the platform frontend in Angular 2 and implemented the backend on .NET using MVC. They established a continuous integration and deployment pipeline where code pushed to Git flowed through TeamCity and was deployed to a test environment via Octopus. RAD4M managed changing requirements, adapted to unexpected technology shifts from the client, supported QA and testing, and coordinated delivery through project management and developer leads.

Project Outcome

Codebase reviewed and functioning with some logical issues being corrected
Project nearing go-live pending completion of fixes
Effective Slack-based communication and dedicated vendor support
Delivered a cost-effective solution significantly cheaper than competitor quotes
