TRNSACT

The client came to us with the request to improve a platform that helps individuals and businesses to get loans for machinery purchase by connecting lenders and dealers. The expanding business demanded the platform's optimization for better functionality and performance.

The main requirements included:

• Development of the stable product infrastructure in the cloud.
• Introduction of basic testing: development of testing documentation and structure, outlining scope, types of testing, responsibilities, and schedule. Writing scenarios that cover different functionalities and potential errors. 
• Creation and application of development and testing processes. Online Credit Application and Dealer & Lender Portal functionality improvement, running tests, bug tracking, and resolution.

Our team of experienced web development experts followed the client's requirements and advanced the financial platform. We reduced and optimized the number of active resources, such as tools and services, which has led to savings on infrastructure by 80%.

The key improvements include:

• Optimized website hosting by transferring applications to the modern cloud platform and introducing lighter technologies. We moved the website by using modern programming languages;
• Upgraded Dealer and Lender Portals, each with a set of restrictions on displaying both loan requests and some information inside the application;
• Improved customizations for online application forms, highlighting client’s personal approach to the dealers;
• Significant backend technologies upgrade with the implementation of modern database engines and serverless technologies;
• Set CI/CD cycle, which allowed to speed up the development of services and made these services Jira-connected; 
• Introduced shift towards full Agile development methodology;
• The fully automated process of development and delivery of releases to production servers brings a substantial competitive advantage to our client.

Altogether, we have improved the product's architecture and conducted thorough testing. We continue working on the project, providing technical support and developing disaster recovery planning and business continuity plans. We are also working on ensuring the security of applications and personal data on the project, conducting security assessments, and security penetration testing. Additionally, we are planning to introduce DevSecOps practice on the project.
