Project Summary

Ideamotive took over a kitchen and bath remodeling company's custom SaaS platform, improving UI/UX, refactoring and cleaning backend code, upgrading Ruby on Rails, and developing new features, with plans to integrate calendars and email. The engagement began in Jan. 2020, went live with a new version in Aug. 2020, and continues with some remaining work; the client praises Ideamotive's communication, testing rigor, and collaborative project management.

Key Challenges

  • Need for software to manage customer information, contracts, accounting, and inventory
  • Previous developer-built SaaS could not continue to scale and required a takeover and refactor

Project Deliverables

  • UI/UX enhancements and wireframes
  • Backend refactor and bug fixes
  • Upgrade to the current Ruby on Rails version
  • New feature development
  • Calendar and email system integrations (planned)

Project Solution

Ideamotive performed full custom software development: they enhanced UI/UX with wireframes and screenshots, cleaned and refactored a messy backend, upgraded the application to the current Ruby on Rails version, and implemented numerous new features. The vendor maintained a dedicated core team (including a project manager, designers, and developers), added resources when necessary, and managed the engagement through frequent meetings and tools like Jira, Slack, and Zoom. The work went live in August 2020 and some further items remain in progress.

Project Outcome

  • The transition to the new software version was much smoother than previous experiences and the platform is now far superior
  • The client reports improved platform quality, strong testing, quick response to issues, and superior communication
  • The new version went live in Aug. 2020 and most work is complete, with some ongoing items
