Project Summary

MindK serves as the dedicated development team for an ongoing, client-facing cloud platform used by a construction-industry content provider and software firm. The vendor developed and maintains a complex platform that supports company profiles, catalog management, integrations with other business systems, full transaction capabilities, and business-intelligence dashboards. The engagement uses MongoDB and MySQL for data and PHP, JavaScript, HTML and CSS for frontend work; project management is handled via Jira and Agile/Scrum. Customers have responded positively, and the platform has enabled migration from a legacy system and continued product expansion.

Key Challenges

  • Needed frontend development support because internal team was focused on data operations
  • Migration from Microsoft SharePoint and prior poor outsourcing experience required a reliable new partner

Project Deliverables

  • Client-facing cloud platform
  • Company profiles linking employees and businesses
  • Catalog management for material content
  • Integrations with external business systems and data transfer
  • Full transaction capability with business intelligence and reporting dashboards
  • Frontend web pages implemented with PHP, JavaScript, HTML and CSS

Project Solution

MindK established a dedicated, scalable team and led specification workshops with the client to define requirements. They built and continue to develop a complex client-facing cloud platform that supports company profiles (linking employees and partner businesses), a catalog of material content, integrations to external business systems for data transfer, full transactional functionality, and business-intelligence dashboards for reporting. For data storage they used MongoDB and some MySQL, and they implemented the frontend using PHP and JavaScript; MindK handled slicing and implementing provided designs in HTML and CSS. The team uses Jira for project management and follows Agile/Scrum processes.

Project Outcome

  • Product positioned to carry the client company forward
  • Majority of customers migrated from a legacy client-server application
  • Positive reception from existing customers and ongoing rollout of new capabilities
  • Improved transparency and faster releases via Jira and Agile/Scrum processes
