The Client

Our client is an IT consulting firm delivering smart mobility tech solutions to both public and private enterprises, based in Belgium. Their innovative solutions are kye for businesses driving continuous improvement.

The challenge

Amid a local talent shortage, the client faced difficulty in securing software engineers with the expertise needed to handle their complex systems over an extended period. They required a skilled team capable of contributing to the sophisticated software they deliver to their customers.

As we joined this project mid-stream, our team needed to quickly adapt to the project’s complex architecture, understand its wide-ranging functionalities, and seamlessly integrate with the existing development teams. It was crucial to collaborate with various stakeholders, understand their responsibilities, and align with client’s work methodologies - all while rapidly getting up to speed on the intricate software.

Harnessing the power of Big Data and Analytics

Our engineers became fully integrated into the client’s existing teams, working on a CEP platform that leverages big data to enhance vehicles’ continuous development process. Through this platform, users can:

Data Collection: Capture the data from a vehicle for real-time analysis.
Data Preparation: Enrich collected data with external sources and fill any missing values to ensure completeness.
Analysis and Training: Utilize advanced pipelines for big data analysis, auto-generate analytical results, and share/publish validated models.
Exposure: Via CEP UI, visualize results through customizable dashboards, expand queries by geographic location. Integrate seamlessly with R&D tooling via APIs, additional metadata, and download in multiple formats.

Collaborative Development Process

To ensure the project’s success, we embraced a structured and collaborative development approach:

Daily Standups: To keep all teams aligned on progress and priorities.
DevOps Teams: Established CI/CD pipelines to streamline updates and deployments.
QA Teams: Guaranteed that each feature met the client’s high standards through rigorous testing and validation.
1-on-1 Meetings and Performance Reviews: Supported individual growth, ensuring the team was motivated and continuously improving.
Team Spirit: Our culture fostered an environment where every member could count on support from their peers, ensuring that challenges were overcome together.

Key Results

Our team’s integration and contribution led to several key outcomes:

Accelerated Development: Our team’s involvement increased the velocity of software development, allowing our client to meet deadlines more efficiently.
Improved Collaboration: The synergy between our engineers and the client’s internal team strengthened communication, resulting in smoother coordination across all project aspects.
Innovative Solutions: By expanding the platform’s capabilities, we helped the client to optimize the platform, enhancing the user experience for their customers.

Through effective communication, dedication, and a solution-oriented mindset, we helped transform the client’s platform, allowing them to harness the full potential of big data and analytics in vehicle development.

The collaboration has been marked by attention to detail and continuous support. They have worked closely with us, maintaining open communication and addressing challenges promptly.
