Project Summary

Spiral Scout served as the software and UI/UX team for a spatial intelligence company, building and refactoring a data-heavy dashboard and client platform. They implemented backend services on an AWS stack and used JavaScript, HTML, Node.js, and Python where appropriate. The engagement began in January 2020 and is ongoing; the vendor reduced dashboard load times from over two minutes to under 30 seconds and maintains regular communication via email, video calls, and Jira.

Key Challenges

Needed full-stack support including website development, UI/UX design, backend development, API connections and servers
Hundreds of sensors produced large volumes of data causing performance and occasional crashing issues
Required refactoring of previously built internal features due to time constraints and maintainability

Project Deliverables

Dashboard system built from scratch
Client-facing platform with maps and visual visualizations (donut charts, historical views)
Refactored existing features and backend services
Backend/API services implemented on AWS
Ad hoc troubleshooting and bug fixes

Project Solution

Spiral Scout acted as the client's outsourced software team: they reviewed requests, discussed design and backend requirements over 2–3 calls, provided estimates for time, effort, team size and cost, and delivered prioritized milestones. They built new features and refactored in-house code, performed ad hoc troubleshooting and bug fixes, and implemented backend services on the AWS stack using JavaScript, HTML, Node.js, and Python. They designed and delivered a client dashboard platform with maps, donut visualizations and historical comparison views for sensor data ingestion at 5–10 minute intervals.

Project Outcome

Reduced dashboard load time from over two minutes to under 30 seconds
Delivered a popular dashboard product offering used by clients
Maintained budget discipline with only occasional minor cost overruns
