Project Summary

Simform serves as the tech team for Equilo, a data analytics SaaS platform. They developed a web-based application and use Python to sync millions of records into a MongoDB backend, build data visualizations and match-making features, and provide ongoing feature development and troubleshooting. The vendor is praised for responsiveness, planning, and delivering on time and within budget, with a reported 100% success rate fixing crashes or errors.

Key Challenges

Previous teams and combinations (4–5 attempts) failed to meet the company's needs.
Need for a full-stack development team to deliver backend relational databases, frontend website design and UI, and complex Python-based algorithms.

Project Deliverables

Web-based application
MongoDB backend database and data synchronization pipelines
Dashboard with dynamic data visualizations
Match-making functionality for investors
Multiple product modules/features (approximately 10 product areas)
Ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, and feature development

Project Solution

Simform acted as the client's full tech team, first cleaning up legacy work and then building a web-based application separate from the client's public website. They implemented a MongoDB backend and Python-based processes to sync millions of data records, created dashboards and dynamic data visualizations, and developed match-making functionality and approximately ten product modules. The team also provides ongoing feature development, troubleshooting, customer-response work, and is integrated into the client's workflows via Slack and Asana.

Project Outcome

New products and features launched successfully under aggressive timelines.
100% success rate addressing crashes and errors.
Deliveries completed on time and within budget with proactive communication about potential time or cost increases.
High client satisfaction, continued investment, and strong ongoing partnership.
