Project Summary

Innowise Group implemented new features for a consulting firm's internal LMS used for license management, invoicing and billing, including rewriting an old PayPal merchant services library, adding REST endpoints, and building a PDF templating system. They partnered in sprint planning, worked from a shared Trello queue, and deliver new functionality weekly. The vendor delivered higher speed and code quality than the client's internal team and provided useful recommendations and professional communication.

Key Challenges

Single internal developer and slow release cadence
Need to decrease enhancement cycle time from two months to one week
Need for external perspective and recommendations on the codebase and third-party libraries
Desire to increase code quality

Project Deliverables

Rewritten PayPal merchant services interaction library
Additional REST endpoints
PDF templating system

Project Solution

Innowise began with a scoped test project and then became a partner in sprint planning. They worked from a shared Trello queue and integrated into the client's processes (Google Docs, Trello, Slack). Their development work included rewriting the legacy PayPal merchant services interaction library, adding REST endpoints, and implementing a PDF templating system, delivering new functionality on a weekly cadence.

Project Outcome

New functionality is delivered weekly instead of months
Operations team receives enhancements that speed their work
Increased exposure to new libraries and ideas, enabling record-rate efficiency improvements
Effective project management using Google Docs, Trello, and Slack
