Project Summary

toughlex updated and improved the frontend and backend of a SaaS advertising product, using C# on the backend and a JavaScript framework on the frontend. Their engagement allowed the client to increase delivery capacity without hiring full-time staff. Communication was constructive and iterative; some timeline delays were caused by the client's internal UX review process rather than the vendor's work.

Key Challenges

  • Need to increase delivery capacity without hiring full-time staff
  • Limited hiring possibilities at the time
  • Multiple small projects that could be outsourced

Project Deliverables

  • Rewritten frontend subsystems
  • Backend system updates
  • Frontend UI facelift using a JavaScript framework

Project Solution

toughlex rewrote a couple of subsystems and performed a frontend facelift while also updating backend systems. They implemented frontend changes using a JavaScript framework and backend work in C#. The team operated in short iterations, with a team lead visiting the client for acceptance reviews weekly or biweekly and daily communication via Skype. The engagement involved a small team (about 3–4 developers assigned) and included both UI and backend deliverables related to self-service banner management.

Project Outcome

  • Reduced the client's need to hire full-time developers
  • Delivered expected functionality despite UX-driven delays
  • Established constructive, iterative communication and delivery processes

Quality of Deliverables

“toughlex’s resources eased the need for full-time hiring during the project, and they were knowledgeable and adaptive throughout the engagement. They could increase their team size to improve regular communication, but they delivered as expected and any delays were due to internal issues.”
