Project Solution

KindGeek supplied cross-functional development teams and specialists to design and build a white-labelled SaaS platform: they delivered web self-service interfaces (Angular), native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) apps, back-end microservices in Java with MySQL, and integrations to multiple third parties. The infrastructure was cloud-agnostic and initially deployed to AWS, using KeyCloak, HashiCorp Vault and Elasticsearch. The engagement also included business analysis, QA (manual and automation), DevOps, and 1st/2nd line support.

Project Outcome

High-quality delivery of the platform and features.
Occasional minor timeline slips due to in-depth business analysis revealing uncovered functionality, which the team addressed.
Strong project management and communication via daily stand-ups, weekly delivery calls, Slack and Jira.
The team provided valuable product insight and suggestions beyond implementation.
