Byteminds

The NAIS website that is built on Kentico is used to attract new members, promote organization events, and provide helpful information for members & parents.

The project vision was to redesign Members Directory page based on the new branding and replatform it on Xperience by Kentico. In the future, this Xperience by Kentico instance would become the base for the re-platforming project.

Byteminds provided web development services for a school association. Using the CMS, the team revamped the client's directory, replaced the Salesforce Lightining-based search, and revamped the user journey.

QJ League approached us with their vision to solve a key problem: the lack of a structured training and progress-tracking system that often led to the stagnation of promising young athletes. Their idea was to create a specialized product to address this gap.

The product’s concept was not just to provide coaches with an interface for managing training sessions, but also to systematically develop young players in Kazakhstan. The ultimate goal: consistently preparing young athletes for Kazakhstan’s youth and junior national teams.

The first stage of development was product design. We delivered a comprehensive product vision, including prototypes, a clearly defined tech stack, and interface designs. Each system feature was broken down into smaller components, after which we developed a timeline roadmap and aligned it with the client’s goals.

After approval, we optimized workflows to ensure convenience for both our team and the client. We implemented shorter sprint cycles — one week instead of two — while maintaining all necessary artifacts.

The client acted as the product owner, regularly syncing with us to clarify their vision and guide development.

We designed the service architecture to scale seamlessly over the next two years as the number of teams, coaches, and players in the league grows. The system is also built to accommodate potential adoption by other leagues in Kazakhstan and abroad.

Since the system handles a moderate load, we chose a classic monolithic architecture for the backend, built with Nest.js, TypeScript, Sequelize, PostgreSQL, and Minio. Resource-intensive operations, such as PDF generation for training plans and logs, were handled by a separate microservice.

We developed the frontend as a single-page application (SPA) using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. To accelerate the launch, we used the Ant Design component library and customized it to fit project requirements.

For backend access, we used the Hey API library to generate client code based on OpenAPI specifications, automatically generated from the backend codebase.

KIFFIX empowers artists, labels, PR agencies and music professionals with fully-integrated cutting-edge tools and analytics, designed to streamline your creative and business processes.

KIFFIX decided to engage Byteminds team for defining, developing, testing and launching KIFFIX Portal - the new version of the existing web-based software which is currently in use by KIFFIX customers and in essence is the core KIFFIX product.

The development tasks included:
- To make the product to be less dependent from Next Cloud platform
- To have ability to develop the product on its own codebase
- To have ability to introduce GA4 and other possible analytics into the product

Byteminds redeveloped the frontend of a web-based software solution for a digital creative tool. The team created a new UX/UI to work with the client's codebase and integrated GA4 and other analytics.

Seller Drive is an Emex DWC system for working with suppliers within their personal account. It acts as a kind of bridge between the supplier of auto parts and their customer. 

We had to create a new version of Seller Drive to replace the one that had existed in the company for the last 10 years and had not been updated for a while. It was necessary to adjust Seller Drive to the current business processes of Emex DWC and their technological system.

The new Seller Drive was based on the foundation of an existing system. We have kept successful solutions and improved them, and also added new features to the system, removing outdated and useless functionality.

Buddy is a virtual tutor for children, available in a desktop application and on iOS and Android mobile devices. The company focuses on developing its main product along with supporting services, one of which is the buddy.ai website. This website introduces the product, highlights its benefits, and offers users a trial.

The buddy.ai website launched in September 2022. Initially built on Webflow, the site later faced scalability issues, so the decision was made to rewrite it using Vue, with functional localization and one-time payment capabilities. However, after relaunching on Vue, the client realized they lacked the resources to maintain and further develop the site. This led Buddy to partner with ByteMinds to handle primary tasks, freeing up Buddy’s team for scaling the main product.

Based on the audit, we decided to split the work into multiple phases.

In Phase 1, we prioritized critical refactoring tasks that directly impacted site performance, particularly website speed. Less critical issues, as well as new feature implementations, were addressed in Phases 2 and 3.

After these updates, the site's performance improved by 16 points - a good result, especially given that performance optimization wasn’t the main goal.
