Project Summary

A multi-year engagement to modernize a flagship import/export software (SmartBorder) by migrating core systems to the web using Angular and SignalR. Kaizen delivered customer profile and export modules and is completing import and security-filing functionality; two applications are currently in beta with customers. The client praises Kaizen’s ability to ramp on new technologies and the team’s responsiveness. Engagement started in Feb. 2017 and is ongoing.

Key Challenges

Needed development help.

Project Deliverables

Customer profile system
Export software (web)
Import and security-filing system
Web frontend built with Angular (Angular 2/5)
API integration with client's Web API

Project Solution

Kaizen upgraded the client’s flagship product to a web-based stack, using Google Angular (2.0 then 5.0) for front-end development and Microsoft SignalR for real-time features. They integrated with the client’s existing backend Web API, delivered customer profile and export modules, and are building import/security-filing functionality for port reporting. The engagement is multi-year and Kaizen has a pipeline of additional projects with the client; they provided a small prototype earlier that led to expanded work.

Project Outcome

Two applications moved to beta with customers
Client reports high satisfaction and praises Kaizen’s technical ramp-up and problem-solving
Kaizen integrated into the client’s workflow using Jira and TFS and provided reliable development support
