Project Summary

Pragmatic Coders developed two applications for a SaaS trading-provider: a trading platform and an execution management tool, building the backend in Java and the frontend in React and hosting the system on AWS. The engagement began in September 2018 and remains ongoing. The vendor has delivered complex features on time, demonstrated strong project management using agile practices, Trello and Jira, and communicated effectively within the core team, though there were some handover issues between Krakow and Warsaw teams.

Key Challenges

  • Find a firm with domain expertise in building trading systems.
  • Deliver both a trading platform and an execution management tool to meet regulatory partner needs.
  • Compensate for the vendor's lack of internal UX/UI resources by coordinating with a third-party design firm.

Project Deliverables

  • Trading software application
  • Execution management tool for a regulatory partner
  • Java backend services
  • React frontend applications
  • AWS-hosted environments (development, demo, production)

Project Solution

Pragmatic Coders built both applications from scratch: a trading software system and an execution management tool for a regulatory partner. They ran a 2–3 week discovery, then developed Java backends and React frontends, recommended a third-party UX/UI vendor (they lacked in-house design), and deployed the system on AWS with separate development, demo, and production environments. The vendor staffed the project with a core Warsaw team and temporarily ramped a second team in Krakow to run parallel work; the team included a product owner (serving part-time as project manager), backend and frontend developers, and a DevOps engineer.

Project Outcome

  • Product in beta and approximately five weeks from launch.
  • Significant progress and swift delivery beyond initial expectations.
  • Excellent project management and agile practices; backlog tracked in Trello and tasks managed in Jira.
  • Some communication and handover issues occurred between the Krakow and Warsaw teams.
