Case study

The assumption of the project was to build a system for collecting contact details from potential customers. A new web application was intended to focus the user on opportunities and implicitly seed a need to ask for a more attractive loan offer.

Our task was to develop a complex digital solution including design, web app development and cloud infrastructure from scratch. We delivered a complete system in 5 weeks with a strong focus on clear, light design from one side and also end-to-end data security provided by end-user on the other side. We built an application to be scalable and deployable on the AWS infrastructure.

SCOPE OF WORK

Our client set the following hypothesis of digital web solution available on every digital device, everywhere and anytime:

  1. Moving into the digital world will mitigate and simplify the current selection, approach and consultation process as it is highly manual and laborious.
  2. Providing digital solutions will increase competitive pressure - an earlier approach, simple and attractive renewal options, automation.
  3. Individual customer needs are not currently taken into account in the information and consulting offers which may be pushed to a completely new level.

Our task was to create a system for collecting contact details from potential customers, taking into account all these essentials for our client’s hypotheses.

Services we did for them:

1. Design:

  • A new approach based on the guidelines that it should be clean and light, but at the same time convergent with the company's brand

2. Implementation:

  • A frontend application that implements asymmetric encryption for security which resulted in an “A” score provided by Security Headers!
  • PGP library was used for encryption

3. Analytics:

  • In accordance with business requirements, we introduced analytics with custom events that were necessary to analyse specific sets of events on the website

Collaboration development

Data security is our speciality

We’ve been working on the Talk To Loop project together since 2020. Sonder Collective was responsible for the design and UX Design of the platform, which of course is consistent with the whole visual identity. We as Elite Crew were in charge of the implementation, security of the web application same as provided data, and the final QA part. Our specialists were involved in the project since the very beginning to help untangle complexity, advise designers on feasibility, and achieve an optimum user experience. Data security is our speciality. We built Talk To Loop to the highest standards of data privacy.

To learn more about what we did in this project, see the Talk To Loop case study.

Sharing our knowledge in transparency

In 2022, we started working on the next project which was the Pathways project. Once again, Sonder Collective as a Product Owner was responsible for the design and UX Design part, and we then successfully implemented the design. We were involved in the early stages of the project to share our knowledge and experience. During the whole process, we closely collaborated with designers to make sure we understand each other in terms of proper design and further implementation.

Project development

01

We designed a new, fresh and light web application compliant with the original client’s design trend but not overloaded with information. A new web application was intended to focus the user on opportunities and implicitly seed a need to ask for a more attractive loan offer. The expertise and experience of our designer Valentina in this phase covered UI and UX Design with a mobile-first approach.

The expertise and experience of our designer Valentina in this phase covered UI and UX Design with a mobile-first approach.

02

Having direction and high-fidelity design we moved to the next phase and developed a responsive web app with a mobile-first approach. However, as this is a fintech industry, the main challenge and requirement was a strong focus on security.

We built the backend and frontend parts with the assumption of implementing end-to-end encryption. The important thing was infrastructure independence from platforms on which this solution can be hosted.

Our client benefited from a great experience we had from the other fintech project, which was a payment solution led by our CEO Marek in cooperation with one of the two leading payment card providers in the world.

03

In the next phase we designed and developed cloud infrastructure and, as security was on top of our requirements, Marek made a decision to go with AWS. Amazon invests a lot of effort in security and this was a natural and obvious direction and decision to make.

The key elements that were included in the infrastructure, apart from end-to-end encryption, were also additional security by data retention.

04

By closing the feedback loop and finally being able to verify, we added analytical tools integration accordingly to requirements and were collecting necessary users’ behaviour for further business analysis/verification.

Working with EliteCrew suited our complex project set up very well. We had many uncertainties to solve and timelines were unclear, but Elitecrew managed the development so smoothly alongside our design process. The interaction with the team was always super positive and friendly. Their independent work style and continuous communication via slack really made a difference in our busy schedules. Thank you for being such a reliable partner in this project.

Insights from the project

During the implementation of the project, I act as a backend developer. Working on the project allowed me to expand my knowledge due to the fact that we use tools with which I had little contact so far. I believe that the described project is of great value because it serves people who really need this help.

Krzysztof Kura

Back-End Developer

This is the first in my entirely carrier so innovative initiative, that engage so many, so different to each other disciplines to explore social, cultural and environmental risk factors impacting Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child Health and Nutrition (RMNCH+N).It combines research done across Northern Nigeria, Kenya and Bihar, India to further expertise analyses of researched data to in final step exposed ready to use results via web platform to global health practitioners to stratify households based on social, economic, cultural and environmental vulnerability factors that are associated with poor health outcomes.

Marek Wrzosowski

CEO

I deal with the development of the application on the backend layer. The implementation of solutions in the discussed application is invariably a big challenge for me. The fact that the introduced functionalities really help many people and organizations scattered all over the world gives additional satisfaction from the work performed. I am proud to say that I am working on an application that gives opportunities that I have not encountered in other applications. For example, our solutions can be used freely by users who cannot read and write.

Krzysztof Kura

Back-End Developer

Loop as a platform that I had to test was a huge challenge in terms of the functionalities used. In this application, we can make many combinations that we do not even know about, each time this application surprises me, very often it finds errors, for example from translations to usually search fields, with IVRR I had the pleasure to work from the very beginning, I spent many hours during testing the application itself in terms of functionality and design in Inbox and Outbox. Additionally, testing the scheduler for an automatic option that calls back the user when they cannot answer it was quite a challenge, and so far it is. Social bots are also nice to remember. A lot happened before the defects were removed from the flow. What I can say is that the platform is quite large and the application is constantly developing :))

Wojciech Błądek

Quality Assurance

What I can say about this challenging project is that it’s a well secured landing page for collecting contact details from potential customers. I had the pleasure of testing this application for desktop and mobile versions - it’s responsive, intuitive and eye-pleasing. It’s worth adding how such data is secured, thanks to data encryption, a person who does not have the key will not be able to read the customer's data. I am glad that I had the opportunity to participate in this project, it was another positive experience for me :)

Wojciech Błądek

Quality Assurance

I met the  project from the front-end side. In my opinion, the key challenge, because of the banking industry, was to provide a very secure experience. We had to be sure that every piece of information remains confidential and we achieved that by using end-to-end encryption. Also, we had to prevent cross-site scripting attacks by following Content Security Policy. On the other hand, user experience was improved by creating step by step form and implementing input validation.

UX/UI Designer

"I remember working for the red cross very pleasantly my task was to create a clean and simply design along with dedicated icons. The whole process went without much difficulty if there is an opportunity I will be happy to do future projects related to the Red Cross."

Hubert Cep
WordPress Developer

"It was a pleasure for me to work on this project. Throughout the duration of the project, each of the team showed great commitment and attention to the smallest details. Rarely is it possible to combine the involvement of the team with the involvement of the client, who is responsible for providing the necessary materials and accepting changes. In this case, the two parties worked very well together, which resulted in a quick and comprehensive implementation with full professionalism. For me as a WordPress Developer it was a very valuable experience."

Natalia Boyko
Junior Project Manager

"This project taught me that the relationship in the team plays a key role in the realization of any task. Thanks to the good communication with the client and the team’s agreement we managed to refresh the page for Red Cross in two weeks. Of course, the organization of working hours is an important aspect, and the process of organization was easier due to the good atmosphere."

Wojciech Błądek
Quality Assurance

"Polish Red Cross is a humanitarian institution that helps people in need, I am glad that I could contribute something from myself to this project and it will help many people. As Quality Assurance I was responsible for the quality of this project, what more can I say is definitely the application is very intuitive and user friendly."
