Project Solution

After a formal RFP and due diligence, Mainsoft delivered a 4-month MVP using Scrum (7 two-week sprints) with requirements documented in Atlassian/JIRA. The team developed frontend components in React.js, backend services in Java Spring Boot, used PostgreSQL for storage, and deployed the platform on AWS. Each ticket was estimated, tracked, and tested daily; the vendor supplied a cross-functional team including backend, frontend, QA, DevOps, Python development, and a senior project manager.
