Client

eCAT

Ireland

Project Summary

RadixWeb completely redeveloped the client's flagship electronic compliance tool (eCAT), modernizing the backend and converting mobile apps from PhoneGap to native Android and iOS. The project included scoping, report optimization, and client onboarding. The result is a faster, lighter platform with a lower cost of entry and measurable client migration progress (45% migrated at the time of review).

Key Challenges

Modernize a legacy product after five to six years without simple retrofit options
Add support for foreign languages/localization

Project Deliverables

Redeveloped flagship eCAT platform
Native iOS app
Native Android app
Upgraded backend system
Consolidated and streamlined reporting (reduced number of reports)
Client onboarding and migration support

Project Solution

RadixWeb proposed and executed a full redevelopment of the legacy eCAT system rather than retrofitting the old codebase. They spent 8–9 months scoping requirements, rebuilt approximately 80% of the backend, migrated and reimplemented mobile clients as native Android and iOS apps (replacing PhoneGap), optimized the report set by bringing forward the most-used reports, consolidated several functions for performance, and supported client-specific projects (notably a separate engagement for Sodexo). They also handled onboarding of existing clients to the new platform.

Project Outcome

The system is quicker, lighter, and easier to start using
Lowered cost of entry with smaller upfront fees and per-user monthly licensing
Sharper frontend and noticeably faster operation
Reached 45% of target client migrations and approaching 70% user adoption
Sodexo's implementation is live and used daily with no reported complaints
