Tech consultancy firm
Design, development, and deployment of a series of B2B dealer/customer portals in Liferay for their automotive clients worldwide.
The Challenges
Mismanagement of data
Data collation was a challenge because the client’s customer's reporting system was not efficient enough to provide accurate reports and subsequent forecasts of their financial data.
Complexity of data
The data storage & analytics layer required many optimizations using a dedicated cache layer and optimized Oracle Database to deliver the responsiveness required by the end users.
Big data processing
As the client's customers had a large set of data to process, the risk was that this would result in inaccurate reports or a lack of clear data for the business to make use of.
Challenging timescales
Proventeq had a short timeframe to deliver the project, so the scope was locked to control timelines. The end customers had to continue using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to review sales data throughout the build to ensure business continuity.
Proventeq's Solution for the Client
Gap analysis & documentation
We analyzed the requirements of the client's customers and created user interface wireframes which guided the development of the interface in Liferay.
Improved internal processes
The re-design of the portal platform organized the customer’s content, segments, and user journeys on one unified platform and enhanced the business capabilities.
Design of the solution
Our experts worked closely with the client's technology team to design and implement a solution to enable a smooth transition to the target platform. This included a robust deployment process allowing for continuous integration, deployment of fixes and updates all of which could be managed in JIRA.
Liferay platform roadmap
We helped the client to upgrade the Liferay version to the latest DXP 7.x version, which was the biggest update since the inception of the platform. This included updates to components written in Spring MVC, which provided more flexibility and improved features for the end user.
