THE CHALLENGE

While experiencing exponential growth, the company still relied on a complex and obsolete set of Excel spreadsheets to manage the finances of their worldwide projects. With limited resources in-house, they needed to bring in an independent and experienced Agile team of UX/UI designers and developers to help optimize their workflow and build a custom solution that would give them better visibility and control over their projects’ finances.

TOPDEVZ’ SOLUTION

Within a week of engagement, TopDevz took ownership of the project and assigned two senior resources - a project manager and a software architect - to review the current system and workflow and make recommendations for a streamlined solution. After two weeks, a scalable custom solution was approved and two additional senior engineers came on board to build the Minimum Viable Product.

THE OUTCOME

The multi-user project management and approval system was completed in 3 months and the Project managers’ productivity has increased by 42% within the first months of usage. The TopDevz team is now planning Phase II and based on the success of this first collaboration, TopDevz is now a preferred third-party IT vendor for the #1 investment management company in the world.
