Project Summary

PLANEKS was hired by a large third-party ship management company to develop a web application that provides performance updates to customers. The team built the app in Python using the Django framework and followed an Agile, iterative process with prototypes and weekly/bi-weekly updates. Communication was handled mainly via Slack and video meetings, and adoption has been growing as more customers use the web application. The vendor was described as communicative, adaptable, and considerate in working with the client.

Key Challenges

Build a major web application to provide ship performance services to customers.
