Project Summary
Monterail enhanced an existing Ruby on Rails crowdfunding platform for a German equity-based crowdfunding firm, reworking its investment flow and building a CMS and additional features. The engagement ran from September 2013 to March 2015 and concluded after Monterail recommended a local Berlin agency to continue support. The client praised Monterail’s responsiveness, communication, and integrity.
Key Challenges
- Develop two websites: one for African doctors to collaborate and one for patients to perform an online diabetes risk assessment
- Deliver high-priority digitization projects for Africa that were a top-management priority at Merck
Project Deliverables
- Two websites (doctors collaboration site and patient diabetes risk-assessment site)
- Reprogrammed investment flow from an auction model to a first-come, first-served model
- Content management system (CMS)
- Additional platform features
Project Solution
Monterail further developed the client's Ruby on Rails platform, reprogramming the investment process from an auction model to a first-come, first-served model and building a CMS along with other platform features. The client used an in-house graphic designer while Monterail provided the development resources exclusively for the build. The engagement began after an initial contact at a conference and continued from September 2013 until March 2015.
Project Outcome
- Trusted partnership with smooth communication and clear process
- Monterail recommended a local Berlin agency and transitioned the project in 2015
- Client reported fast performance and strong developer recommendations
