Project Summary

A plumbing company hired Requestum to design and develop a custom LAMP-based central hub that manages client data and integrates office operations with field technicians and QuickBooks billing. Requestum built the initial dataset and database and has continually added features and enhancements since the project's start in December 2015. The solution automated many processes, reduced the client's payroll needs, and became essential to the business's operations.

Key Challenges

  • Integrate the office with field technicians and multiple data sources
  • Consolidate customers' databases, QuickBooks billing, and disparate systems into a single central hub for communication
  • Build highly custom functionality not available in off-the-shelf products

Project Deliverables

  • Custom LAMP stack (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP)
  • Central hub for data and process integration
  • Initial dataset and database to process and house client data
  • Integrations with field technician workflows and QuickBooks billing

Project Solution

Requestum designed and built a custom LAMP stack from the ground up and wrote custom code to handle the client's specific business needs. They created the first dataset and database to process and house data, built a central hub integrating office systems with field technicians and QuickBooks, and have continuously added features and enhancements. The engagement included multiple developer specializations (full-stack, iOS, WordPress, ML/data) and ongoing support.

Project Outcome

  • Enabled continued business operations; the client states the company could not operate without the custom solution
  • Significantly reduced staffing needs and payroll (software plus three people vs roughly ten employees)
  • Ongoing cost savings reinvested into software enhancements
