Business solution

„One Basecamp” is a concept to build a comprehensive business platform that connects various IT and digital systems into one consistent network of connected business solutions. Some parts of the concept are implemented, integrated via bespoke solutions and some of them come from the enterprise world. Fream together with Basecamp Student Group has developed a substantial part of “One Basecamp” platform that enables creation and management of customer facing applications.

Development process

Apart from simply following instructions given by the client we were participating in every stage of the development. We were truly collaborating – each part has made valuable contributions and presented ingenious ideas. It was a dynamic process in which we have shown amazing flexibility and were adjusting our actions to meet all the needs of our client, even those which sprung up after some time.

In both projects we started off by preparing an extensive documentation in compliance with client’s requirements and our internal workflows. We were working on a fixed-price basis and that is why it was more clear what we should achieve and what tasks awaited us. We also made sure that all the issues and plans were talked-through and thoroughly discussed before setting out the work. To avoid mistakes in budget planning and execution both sides ensured that we developed effective methods of communication and management.

We were having several types of regular meetings with the Basecamp team. Given that we were progressing quickly, we established daily meetings to inform each other internally about the most recent breakthroughs, obstacles, and current tasks regularly. In addition, our project manager was attending weekly update meetings with Basecamp representatives to progress the project and discuss open points. Interestingly, at the beginning and at the end of the realisation process a group of stakeholders and beneficiaries was invited which helped us immensely in understanding demands of the market and business needs.

A project aiming to integrate a range of solutions is highly demanding and innovative. We can proudly say that we are specialists in this field and we don’t settle for a simple delivery of the technical solution.

ic_challenges
Challenges we faced in the process

Integration of numerous technologies required many different suppliers to be involved. It could compromise both time of the development process and efficiency. It involved a lot of quality control, change management and effective communication across multiple parties to avoid delays, crossing the budgets and dissatisfaction.

Given the short realisation time, we have proven (not without effort though), to be extremely disciplined and bring out-of-the-box solutions at the same time, which let us meet the deadlines and requirements, and occasionally impress with extras. It demanded outstanding prioritizing and decision-making skills, especially when defining the product’s final outline.

What made our work special

A project aiming to integrate a range of solutions is highly demanding and innovative. We can proudly say that we are specialists in this field and we don’t settle for a simple delivery of the technical solution. We take care about all the details that might play a part in a resounding success of our client. We enriched the mobile locks with user-friendly animations. We put a great deal of effort into UX and UI design and the results are amazing.

When it comes to Paperless Document Management, we came up with the idea of introducing a separate Single-Page Application for signing the documents. Thanks to that, we gave our client the possibility of signing documents by using a disposable code from the mobile app which identifies the user in a stateless way without the necessity of a full login process usually handled by the device accessible at the reception. Moreover, the selected technology and implementation approach has given the Client flexibility to deploy the solution on various types of devices.
