Project Summary

SoftLabs partnered with FP McCann, a UK construction materials company, on multiple software projects from Jan. 2014 to Jan. 2016, contributing to custom ERP module development and web and mobile applications. The vendor delivered mobile (Android/iOS) and web-based solutions and provided two allocated resources who worked onsite in Ireland and remotely from India. The two-year engagement produced working apps and ERP components still in use, though the client later selected a different vendor for subsequent work due to ROI considerations.

Key Challenges

Build an internal registration and billing management application for customer management.
Ensure the application communicates correctly through a regulated data transfer network using required industry rules and configurations.
Integrate and extend ERP modules for both web and mobile platforms.

Project Deliverables

Mobile applications for Android and iOS
Web-based applications
Custom ERP system and ERP module development
Integration with industry data transfer network
Onsite collaboration and knowledge transfer (resources spent time in Ireland then continued work from India)

Project Solution

SoftLabs developed a mix of web-based and mobile applications (Android and iOS) and contributed to a custom ERP system for the client. The vendor implemented ERP modules and integrations using C#, .NET, ASP.NET, and jQuery. Two resources were allocated to the engagement; they spent time onsite in Ireland to collaborate with the client's team and then continued development from India, with regular meetings and an India-based office setup to support the work.

Project Outcome

Mobile apps and app-management system functionality remained in use.
Vendor was responsive and delivered work, though deadlines were sometimes missed.
The client concluded the engagement after two years because another vendor offered better ROI for subsequent work.

Quality of Deliverables

“The client decided that another company had better expertise for their specific needs moving forward, but over the course of the two-year partnership, SoftLabs showed ambition and proved very willing to work within the client's various constraints.”
