The challenge
Finding the perfect vendor to do translation is sometimes a tough nut to crack for XTRF’s clients. That requires research, multi-step communication, and fee negotiations.
XTRF needed to solve this problem to provide a faster service and become an irreplaceable solution in the market.
The company also had an aging chat system that needed an update. While not earning its keep, it was the perfect potential platform for this new vendor solution.
This project needed a team with Node.js and React Native experience that could construct a serverless system.
Partnership goal To design and implement an interactive chat feature that helps clients recruit vendors faster
Before
XTRF’s clients wished finding vendors through the platform would be faster than in hours or days. They had to go through a manual, time-consuming vendor acquisition process.
After
Our team transformed XTRF’s old chat tool into a marketable solution for vendor management.
The Software House’s developers worked with XTRF’s team under a hybrid model
We worked on
Team formation
The Software House formed a team of 3 Node.js and 1 React developers, QA Engineer, and a Project Manager for the project, providing the technology support that XTRF was missing.
Once we delivered the software on time, XTRF’S QA took over the project for testing.
We worked in Scrum methodology, participating in all refinement, planning and daily standup meetings with the TSH team. This ensured very good communication and understanding of our requirements and priorities during development. But for me as the product owner, the most favorite meetings were the review meetings, combined with a live demo of the new functions.
Our partnership
This new chat module is ready for launch. It will let XTRF monetize the chat tool by providing time-saving features that help to manage vendor work funnels. XTRF now has a unique, marketable product that elevates them among competitors.
Technology choice
Node.js (fronend/backend), React (frontend), GCP
What XTRF achieved
We built the solution architecture from scratch, allowing XTRF clients to find the best vendor for the job, depending on required vendor competencies and their availability. We designed it to notify only eligible vendors, using a bot in the chat we had previously built.
The interface we built makes it easy to check the vendor selection status at any time on a summary page conveniently available from the chat or XTRF’s interface.
Additional functionality allows this solution to be presented to XTRF’s potential customers as an interactive demo.
Easily accessible, our chat tool is available as:
- A standalone web application
- An embedded application within XTRF’s Home Portal
- A standalone mobile application
