Challenges

The Customer's multiple development teams continuously improve various software components. The corporation opted to hire an outside team for one of their recently acquired customer relationship software due to a lack of in-house expertise. They were specifically looking for a team of experienced developers who would be accessible for long-term collaboration and could take responsibility for the constantly changing demand. They found the required resources at Zediant.

Solutions

When the Zediant team joined the project, they initially worked on responsibilities involving the IT infrastructure:

  • For a speedy on-demand failover in the event of a service failure, they put up an AWS-powered backup and disaster recovery solution.
  • Reverse engineering was used to break the current software down into its component parts and explain how each one functions. They delivered a developer's manual for use in future portal development after a month.
  • The developers were tasked with developing unit and functional tests, including integration tests, as the project was expected to proceed without a testing team. Overall, the developers enhanced test coverage from 70% to 93%, which enabled fail-safe continuous delivery of the portal's new features and contributed to the introduction of DevOps methods.
  • Before the deployment, we set up a staging environment to check the quality of the portal software in a setting similar to production.
  • Our team also helped with the manager portal's front-end development to modify the workflow of scheduling Reps day.

Despite having a website with flexible design previously, the customer wanted to ensure customer loyalty by delivering an even better mobile user experience. The customer wanted to complement mobile applications to their website but lacked the necessary skills to do so. The strict security requirements were also a requirement from the customer. Zediant was chosen to carry out the project because of its extensive knowledge of the financial sector and experience developing iOS and Android apps.

The Zediant team joined the software's development, and as of right now, our developers have incorporated the following features:

  • Automate Reps tracking and planning the call with clients close to their location.
  • Managers can evaluate the performance of Reps on a monthly basis.
  • Managers can spot clients who make smaller purchases.
  • Integration of automated invoices with customer DaaS systems.
  • Module for tracking customer issues.
  • Information exchange between Reps to boost productivity.
  • A dedicated login for marketers to upload their content, such as deals, news, etc.
  • Prediction of the sales value for the upcoming month based on a graph of historical performance data that is adjusted daily with an improvement graph to arrive at a realistic figure for the month's conclusion.

Cooperation

The project managers and developers at Zediant have been assisting with the development of the customer's software for 3+ years.. The work has been organised into 2-week sprints with required sprint planning meetings because the customer supports an agile approach to software development.

Zediant team involved with the Customer accounts willingly ensured the ownership of the software and actively participated in new features development and support.

The Result

The customer's CRM software is always being improved. Every little accomplishment, such as the ability for managers to schedule the day of their Reps or the capacity to establish goals for each rep based on their performance in the past, boosts the competitiveness of the customer's software on the market and guarantees the loyalty of their long-standing clients. They identify fresh potential for process automation, and Zediant aids in making those ideas a reality.
