Project Summary

Kellton designed and developed a cloud-based, multitenant equipment-maintenance platform for a gas detection equipment provider (MSA Safety). The solution included a PHP/Laravel backend, an Angular frontend, and a MySQL database, plus an administrative portal and reporting engine to support regulatory compliance. Kellton architected the greenfield product, delivered it according to milestones, and provided two years of maintenance support while the client brought the project in-house. The vendor was responsive, communicative, and met deadlines throughout the engagement.
