Project Summary

OAK’S LAB provided white-label development services to a fintech company, building two cashback-focused platforms: a website that presented digital discounts to affiliation members and a credit-card cashback platform. They retired an existing Java platform and implemented a .NET/C# backend with MySQL and a React frontend. Despite shifting customer requirements, the vendor remained flexible, delivered on schedule and budget, and maintained diligent project documentation.

Key Challenges

Importing content from third-party providers and displaying it to members
Building individual wallets to hold clipped discounts until redemption
Managing movement of cash and cashback flows
Creating a significant admin portal for tracking purchases, redemptions, and cash

Project Deliverables

Project Solution

OAK’S LAB developed two fintech platforms focused on cashback redemption. They replaced an existing Java platform by building and deploying a .NET/C# backend with MySQL for the primary hosted site and used React for the frontend. Deliverables included a website that presented digital discount content to affiliation members, individual user wallets to hold clipped discounts until redemption, an admin portal to track purchases and redemptions, and a credit-card cashback platform that awarded cashback when registered cards were used at partner merchants.

Project Outcome

Delivered work on schedule and within budget despite shifting customer requirements
Architecture proved robust, accommodating 3–4 makeovers and added pieces
Strong project management with documented sprints, regular calls, and use of Trello and Confluence
