Regulatory Compliance Gap Quickly Closed for Large Industrial Services Provider
A leading provider of industrial services worldwide needed to fill a critical labor law compliance gap with their HR payroll processing. We created a highly usable and efficient platform to track the massive amounts of data for its 15,000+ American employees. In just 9 months, the company reached regulatory compliance.
Large Logistics Company First to Market With Innovative Customer-Facing Application
Our client, a large logistics company, needed to introduce a cloud-based customer-facing application to allow customers to view their scheduled trailer requests and submit ad hoc requests in the event of volume spikes. Speed-to-market was essential as none of their competitors had a similar application, so they wanted to be the first to market with it.
Today sourcing professionals are faced with new challenges and new priorities in finding and maintaining a healthy chain of suppliers. The emphasis has moved away from negotiating the lowest price to negotiating the best value, and this includes environmental and social value, as well as best value in terms of results on the financial balance sheet. Commercial real estate leader Colliers needed to adapt to alternative models to maintain and accelerate pace to accommodate new client needs. And immediately as a part of that strategy, adopted impact sourcing through its relationship with Sparq.
Consumer Lender Cuts Costs and Improves Customer Ratings
The accelerating growth of a leading national consumer lender specializing in the home-improvement industry meant they needed to modernize their processes, while enhancing the user experience for both their borrower and dealer network users.
We developed multiple applications to provide a better experience for their users and resolve many of the compliance challenges they were experiencing. One consumer application gave customers more visibility into their loan, leading to improved customer service scores on sites like Better Business Bureau (BBB). It also saved our client over $3,000,000 annually in postage fees.
Financial Services Client Expands Customer Portfolio and Increases Sales Through Product Integration
This healthcare technology and services organization offering solutions for healthcare billing and payments, landed a deal to integrate a New York City-based health insurance provider’s platform into their proprietary billing software. We came in to help with the integration and a successful MVP, while helping to expand their core offering to include out of network functionality.
After completing the integration of the health insurance platform, they experienced an increase in sales and the build-out of network capabilities has increased their potential customer base exponentially.
New Financial Services Digital Product Drives Business Expansion
A leading financial services provider specializing in money transfers had traditionally provided its services on a cash only basis through its walk-in retail storefront locations. However, shifting consumer demand and online offerings from competing institutions created the need for an online money-transfer service.
Our team quickly stepped in to help our client bring their online platform to the market. We conducted an assessment of the existing application and code and provided a roadmap for readying the site for an internal soft launch, then completed the necessary enhancements and readied the site for initial launch. Following a successful soft launch, we developed further enhancements required for international operation.
SaaS Company Achieves Better Scalability and Stability
Ninety.io is a SaaS product that helps customers optimize their investment in the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). The product was having issues with scalability and stability, along with difficulties in tracking where and how cost was being allocated.
Moving to AWS Organizations with AWS SSO helped reduce the blast radius of the account structure and increased the ability to track spend. Now that the application has been broken out into serverless Lambda functions in conjunction with API Gateway, stability has improved immensely and the application is able to easily scale alongside rapid business growth.
Improved Processing Time and Better Security Thanks to AWS Solution
A SaaS company catering to clients in the home building industry wanted to build a new payment system that would allow bank transfers, payments to and from clients, vendors and banks that met compliance and security requirements, while also improving the user experience.
We developed a cloud-native application using AWS and AWS services. The solution uses AWS API Gateway, AWS Lambda, AWS CloudFront, Step Functions, Cognito, CloudWatch, S3 and various other supporting services. The application was deployed and maintained by using CI/CD and DevOps concepts to allow a microservices approach to developing and updating specific components over time.
A major US-based airline needed help testing and launching a new application that would ensure FAA requirements compliance for aircraft Extended Operations (ETOPS) flight standards. Not meeting the deadline meant the airline would have to push back the launch of their new routes, therefore leading to lost revenue. Our team partnered to conduct Unit, Business Driven Development (BDD), Test-Driven Development (TDD), integration, component and performance tests and ensuring that everything was deployed on time and at the highest quality.
Through its Engineering Unleashed online platform, The Kern Family Foundation works to instill a entrepreneurial mindset in undergraduate engineering students across the country.
