Project Summary

KitRUM took over development of an outdated transportation management system (TMS), performed a detailed code review, migrated customer and shipment data, fixed bugs, and released the product into production. The team set up user stories in Jira and a CI/CD pipeline in GitLab and continues to support and iterate on the system with frequent production pushes. The client praised timely bug fixes, strong communication, and a project manager who keeps the team aligned.

Key Challenges

Replace or complete an outdated TMS that could not meet current business needs.
Recover from a previous vendor's 100% budget and timeline overrun.
Identify and correct bugs to enable a stable production release.

Project Deliverables

Project Solution

KitRUM performed a detailed code review and requirements deep-dive, created user stories in Jira, and set up a CI/CD pipeline in GitLab. The team completed development work, migrated existing customer and shipment data, fixed bugs, implemented improvements, and released the TMS into production. Development proceeded in two-week sprints and later more frequent production pushes, and KitRUM continues to support the system and deliver weekly feature updates.

Project Outcome

Successfully launched TMS into production.
Rapid bug fixes enabled weekly feature releases.
Core team continuity (nearly two years) improved familiarity with the codebase and reduced unintended regressions.
