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
