The solution: smart, phased engineering for real impact
We began by conducting a discovery phase to identify key technical and user experience issues.
Based on our findings, we created a phased plan to modernize the platform using cloud-native AWS services. This included both backend improvements and a redesign of the user interface to make it more modern and intuitive.
The upgrades were rolled out in stages to minimize disruption, with feature toggles used to test and compare new functionalities with legacy features.
Throughout the process, we closely tracked performance and user satisfaction to ensure improvements were effective.
