The challenge.
- The client needed a dependable product to run a specific workflow end to end.
- It had to work cleanly for everyday users across their devices.
- Data had to be captured and stored consistently.
- Edge cases in the workflow had to be handled explicitly rather than left to workarounds.
Our approach.
- Built the web app with React.
- Backed it with Django REST Framework over a persistent store.
- Modelled the core workflow so data is validated and consistent.
- Kept the interface simple for everyday use.
- Handled the workflow's edge cases explicitly in the model, not in workarounds.
The outcome.
- Users run the core workflow from one web app.
- Data is stored consistently instead of living in spreadsheets.
- The product is straightforward to extend.
- Edge cases are handled by design rather than by workaround.

One of their strengths is quickly building out a multi-disciplinary team to work on the development and delivery of features with different technical requirements. Their support has allowed us to accelerate our development work without building an internal team. They have also worked seamlessly with other third parties both during the acquisition of Dragonfly and development of our mobile app.
