request background

Error correction

The client requested us to complete the development of the platform. Since the previous vendors did not meet the deadlines, the system was full of bugs and could not go live into production. The client was looking for a reliable team that would be able to “pick up” the development in its current state, find solutions, fix bugs and release a working version for further development.

challenge

Trace after predecessors

Client has already invested a lot from the financial side, but did not get a solution that could work and bring income. Accordingly, the client has already lost a significant amount of end-users. Moreover, there was a significant failure while calculating the customer cost on the server due to which the client has lost up to 32% of profit monthly.

goals
