Project Summary

Openweb Solutions developed TeachersInTouch, a communication platform for teachers, parents, and administrators, delivering components such as document tracking, data analytics, mail, and address-book integration. They completed roughly 70–80% of the work and delivered stable code during beta, with reports and modules functioning reliably. The vendor was receptive to feedback and contributed strong logical thinking, though speed and developer depth were noted as areas for improvement.

Key Challenges

Need to build and integrate a reports section with the address-book module
Early-stage product development required outsourcing core coding work

Project Deliverables

Reports section
Address-book integration
Documentation-saving feature
Data analytics module
Email/communications module
TeachersInTouch platform and multiple supporting modules

Project Solution

Openweb Solutions was responsible for approximately 70–80% of the TeachersInTouch development, building and customizing core modules including the reports section and synchronizing it with the address-book functionality. The vendor implemented the system using AngularJS and PHP, hosted via Laravel Forge on DigitalOcean, and integrated third-party APIs such as Twilio, Stripe, and Spark. They handled substantial customization, ongoing development, and collaborated with one other external coder on specific components.

Project Outcome

Software has been stable in beta and does not break after release
Reports and various modules have been functioning reliably
Client reports high code quality and responsive issue resolution
