About the Client
Track'em is a software solution specializing in optimizing productivity and reducing waste in the mining and oil & gas sectors. With a cloud-based tracking platform, Track'em effectively manages assets, workforce, and materials using barcode, RFID, and GPS technology. Their Time module is specifically designed to simplify the planning, recording, reviewing, and approval of blue-collar workers' time and tasks, resulting in major cost savings and improved project efficiency.
Challenges
Lack of documentation
The client's lack of documentation made it difficult to fully understand the project requirements, particularly due to the interconnectivity between multiple projects. This complexity posed challenges for smoothly integrating and managing the Admin Portal, which was crucial for tasks such as user and asset management, analytics, tracking history, and generating reports.
Data migration and technology upgrade
Integrating two separate projects, each with its own database, proved to be a difficult task. Transferring data into a single, cohesive database and upgrading the technology stack from .NET Core 3 and Angular 7 to .NET Core 6 and Angular 13 required strategic planning and precise implementation to maintain data accuracy and optimize system efficiency.
Adoption of new technology
The team's unfamiliarity with IONIC technology presented a major challenge in creating the mobile app. To overcome this lack of expertise, we had to quickly learn and adapt to meet the project's requirements and deliver a functional and dependable mobile application.
Solution
Effective time management
Our team implemented strong project management tactics to meet a demanding deadline and cope with the challenges of integrating multiple project elements. We prioritized tasks, allocated resources effectively, and maintained clear lines of communication to ensure all project components were completed within the agreed-upon timeframe.
Proactive documentation
To address the issue of insufficient project documentation, our team took a proactive approach by creating comprehensive documents from the ground up. This helped us better understand the project and provided a blueprint for future developers to navigate its complexities.
Embracing new technologies
Our team faced the challenge of adopting a new and unfamiliar framework, IONIC. But we tackled it head-on by investing in training and knowledge-sharing initiatives. This helped us quickly become proficient in IONIC, meet the project's requirements, and enhance our capability to handle similar technologies in the future. Through dedication and hard work, we turned a potential setback into a valuable opportunity for growth.
