"I’ve sent Redwerk a number of complicated architecture and design tasks, and they’ve pretty much delivered on every one of them provided that I wasn’t asking for something that isn’t technically possible" - Ira Bell, Founding Board Member at Recruit Media

NEED
Recruit Media reached out to the Redwerk team with an idea of an innovative recruiting platform focusing on media and relevant search. Our task was to develop a solution that would become a perfect fit both for recruiters and candidates, combine search and apply features, and stand out among other recruiting resources.

SOLUTION
Here are some of the most prominent features we developed for Recruit Media:

• Search
• In-App Messaging
• Video Recording
• Teleprompter
• Video Conversion
• Machine Learning
• Content Filtering
• File Sharing
• CV hiding and many others

We also we created, updated, and maintained all the project-related documentation as it is an essential part of our delivery approach. 

RESULT
Our partnership with Recruit Media resulted in a robust SaaS giving recruiters and job seekers a modern, comprehensive, and highly convenient way to tell their story and showcase all aspects of their professional lives. Whether integrated into existing software or further developed as a standalone solution, Recruit Media represents a shift in how we work, how we search and apply for jobs, and how we hire.

My Bike Valet (Sommerville, MA, United States): Intelligent Bike Parking System developed by Redwerk from the ground up
 

"Having worked with many external service providers in my professional life so far, I can clearly say that Redwerk comes out on top. Redwerk’s customer-facing team is very professional, and besides that, it’s also fun to work with" - Walter Zahn, Founder of My Bike Valet

NEED
Our task here was to finalize the requirements before initiating fully-fledged development and factor in possible adjustments while keeping the cost of change low. Another milestone on our roadmap concerned building the architecture for Android and iOS MVPs. At this point, our primary goal was to lay the ground for essential functionalities while keeping the app scalable as more features are to come in the future.

SOLUTION
Our client was looking for an open-source and cost-effective solution for backend development. We selected .NET Core Framework as a powerful, open-source, and cross-platform framework for building modern, cloud-based web apps on Windows, macOS, or Linux. As for mobile apps, we advocate for native development as it allows us to guarantee great speed, performance, and UX. Native mobile development is also the right fit for apps with broad functionality, and our goal was to deliver an app with upcoming features in mind.

RESULT
The software we delivered complements the complex engineering My Bike Valet invested in to build a secure, convenient, and reliable bike parking system. With native iOS and Android apps, My Bike Valet users can receive an all-around experience, feeling prepared and having peace of mind when it comes to bike parking. We are immensely proud to have contributed to a solution that promotes a healthy lifestyle and brings awareness about sustainable traveling.

AWE Learning (Chester, PA, United States): E-Learning SaaS Used by 50% of US Public Libraries developed by Redwerk from the ground up

"The development/ IT teams at Redwerk were amazing to work with. They are highly skilled, quite professional, and passionate about their work. They helped us build Platinum Online, a cloud-based version of our All-in-One Early Literacy Station, in record time. I highly recommend them as an off-shore developer and look forward to working with the team on our next project" - Deborah B. Sorgi, President and Chief Executive Officer at AWE Learning

NEED
AWE Learning turned to Redwerk to help them build a SaaS platform for young learners, ages 2-12, from the ground up. They wanted to make their educational resources that were previously hosted through proprietary workstations installed in public libraries accessible to a broader community.

Our major task was to take the AWE Learning Early Literacy Station to the cloud and extend it with must-have SaaS features like reporting, role-based access, subscription and content management.

SOLUTION
We developed the whole platform from the ground up, including the designs for each of the STREAM areas, new icons and avatars. While the SaaS has a neutral cartoonish design, the app for touchscreen devices has a distinct emphasis on inclusivity, depicting children of different ethnicities, skin colors, and children with disabilities.

RESULT
AWE Learning Platinum Online is a one-of-a-kind e-learning solution that mirrors years of early education experience in a modern tech platform. We are immensely proud to have helped AWE Learning equip 50% of public libraries in the US and broader parent communities worldwide with a handy addition to homeschool and micro-school curriculums.

Change & Innovation Agency (C!A) (Kansas City, MO, United States): Innovative web app for Government systems built by Redwerk from the ground up

NEED
Our biggest challenge was to build a fully-functioning product with robust functionality that can be easily customized to the needs of government agencies across the USA. Realizing how ground-breaking this solution can potentially be, we felt immense responsibility to deliver the highest quality app within the set timeframe. We were inspired by C!A’s mission to impact the lives of millions of people dependent on various state-administered programs and took on the challenge.

SOLUTION
Working closely with the C!A team and leveraging the insights contributed by 10th Magnitude, we managed to develop Current – a powerful web app for government agencies to process citizens’ requests within a range of state-administered programs in the USA. With this app, government agencies can deliver public services in an innovative and much more efficient way.

RESULT
With a consolidated effort of the C!A and Redwerk teams, an innovative e-government solution was born. Current is not just a web app for processing citizens’ requests; it’s a powerful platform with the functionality meticulously designed by award-winning change agents – public servants by experience and at heart. We managed to build a positive rapport with C!A, win their trust, and use our expertise to help them transform government systems through the right tech solutions.

Kooky (Zurich, Switzerland): Software ecosystem for innovative green business built by Redwerk from the ground up
 

"I need to be sure that developers are truly involved and support our vision. This is what I get from cooperation with Redwerk" - Torge Barkholtz, Co-founder, Kooky

NEED
Kooky is the first user-oriented and fully digitalized system to cover metropolitan areas with its reusable cup solution. The team behind the idea thinks big, so our main challenge was to deliver a coherent system that would shoulder all the requirements to realize the ground-breaking ideas of the project’s founders.

Our task was to design & implement its technical side. Given the complexity of the system and overwhelming deadlines, we started drafting the most advantageous architecture solutions already during the requirement gathering and analysis phase. To embody our client’s idea, we stayed flexible yet demanding to deliver a comprehensive product.

SOLUTION
Redwerk professionals timely delivered a highly responsive solution to run the Kooky project. Our software package included:

• Web app
• API for Kooky Boxes
• API and backend development for a mobile app

Redwerk professionals digitalized the entire process of monitoring and managing system elements such as Kooky Boxes and Kooky Cups, no matter what scale.

KB&G (Dunedin, New Zealand): #1 automated smart pricing solution worldwide built by Redwerk from the ground up
 

"I have nothing but great things to say. The quality of work is great, it’s very very fast and the team always come up with suggestions on how to improve things" - Barry Hudson, Co-Founder and CEO at KB&G

NEED
KB&G needed someone who would be ready to fully immerse into the industry specifics, do a lot of math, and write tons of algorithms to select the most suitable ones. On top of that, we were expected to develop a solution that would assure data communication between KB&G’s innovative product and their clients’ legacy systems, often lacking proper documentation.

SOLUTION
Automated smart pricing is a SaaS product designed by construction materials experts for construction materials companies. It’s a robust web app that can be further enhanced and customized to suit KB&G clients’ needs. Its functionality cannot be condensed to one case study, but here are some of the modules we have successfully implemented:

• Quote Generation
• Pricing Tiers
• Competitors View
• Heat Maps
• Data Import & Export

We also built a mobile version of the automated smart pricing app for sales managers to be able to generate quotes on the go.

RESULT
The outcome of our close partnership with KB&G is a modern, scalable, and easily maintainable solution helping construction materials companies achieve sustainable revenue growth. It perfectly complements KB&G’s long-standing consultancy expertise, allowing them to stay at the forefront of the competition and continue to be the industry pioneers and change agents. The automated smart pricing solution is already used by large construction materials companies in the United States, France, and New Zealand.

"In-house developers were able to take over code easily, a testament to its quality. Redwerk communicated consistently and delivered the project on time and on budget. Their direct, professional approach is evidence of their honest business practices." - Iason Dimitrakopoulos, Director of Engineering at Encode

NEED
Our major task was to help Encode upgrade one of their products, namely, Enorasys Security Analytics. This SaaS platform is a proprietary software “designed by security analysts for security analysts.” Also, Encode wanted to future-proof their product and prevent any challenges. Redwerk turned out to be a perfect match.

SOLUTION
Having combined Encode’s cybersecurity expertise with our software development prowess, we extended the functionality of their security and response orchestration platform, performed comprehensive API refactoring, and switched to a better-performing database.

RESULT

"There's a real commitment to get the task done in a timeframe that is expected. The quality of the work is very high. I would certainly recommend working with Redwerk's team" - Robert Severn, VP of Engineering at Evolv Technologies

NEED
At the initial stage of our cooperation, we were tasked mostly with coding UX improvements designed by Evolv’s growth team. Witnessing our commitment, expertise, and timely delivery, Evolv decided to expand the scope of the services we provide and fully engaged our team in developing its core product – a pioneering optimization platform consisting of Web Editor and Manager.

Mass Movement (Foxboro, MA, United States): Solution for Clear-Cut Fitness Logistics, developed by Redwerk from the ground up
 

"All software you did was amazing! If we ever decide to create any custom software development, it's going to be Redwerk. I have already recommended you to all of my colleagues." - Chris DiStefano, Operations Officer & National Account Manager at Mass Movement

CHALLENGE
Mass Movement came to Redwerk with one big challenge – to build a custom IMS that would be a perfect fit for their current workflow. To implement such a system, we had to dive deep under the hood of Mass Movement’s internal work processes, so that we clearly understood the logic and value behind every feature we develop. 

SOLUTION
Combining Mass Movement’s industry experience and clear product vision with our technical expertise, we managed to build a comprehensive IMS fully matching our client’s workflows. Moreover, we developed a custom Resource Planner iOS and Android versions and created Windows service and Excel macros for quick data manipulations.

RESULT
The positive feedback we received from the Mass Movement team proves one more time that the solutions we deliver are actually used and appreciated by users. Our cooperation started with a relatively small project for a couple of months, yet it grew into a long-standing partnership. 

Exit: Acquisition. J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. acquired the assets of Mass Movement in November 2020.

OpenTeams (Austin, TX, USA): B2B Marketplace Making Open Source Thrive, refactored and further developed by Redwerk
 

"I really enjoyed it, I think that the team worked really well together. They were diligent and considering not just what I had asked for but what we were trying to accomplish with the product." - David Charboneau, CTO at OpenTeams
 

CHALLENGE
OpenTeams turned to us with the idea of further developing and enhancing a web product dedicated to open source, and we joined forces to bring this bold idea to life. The challenging part was that OpenTeams had a vision for the platform, but clear specifications were missing. Another challenging task was to implement the possibility to engage unregistered users which required quite a complex logic in implementation. 

SOLUTION
We built on the existing idea and performed code refactoring and website redesign to make the OpenTeams platform fast, modern, and SEO-friendly. With our assistance, OpenTeams has gained an improved functionality and appealing visual representation.

RESULT
With Redwerk’s effort, the OpenTeams community keeps growing and sharing the experience of working with open source. It covers more than 20.000 users, and we are happy to be among them.

Fanmetrix (Montreal, QC, Canada): Interactive Platform for Hockey Fans, conceptualized by Redwerk

CHALLENGE
Fanmetrix decided to arrange a design contest and invited us to participate in it. The entire project was in the early initiation stage; therefore, specifications for product visuals were not fully worked out. Although we know that lack of specific design requirements is rather a challenge than an advantage because there is always a risk of miscommunication.

SOLUTION
We took the time to conduct thorough research on the product and its target audience to better understand the platform’s mission and its possible functionality. We carefully studied all the resources that hockey fans use to include the features they really need. We created two different versions of the landing page – one with a more serious appeal and the other with trendy 2D illustrations. While creating the landing page designs, we relied mostly on Fanmetrix’s brand style, yet we slightly expanded their existing palette with some extra colors. We used those colors that are commonly used in hockey and related platforms and that are usually implemented in masculine themes.

RESULT
Our desire to win the contest coupled with the professionalism of our design team brought the needed result – the victory was ours. The Redwerk team continued cooperation with Fanmetrix and created multiple design versions for almost every page on their website. We also compiled a comprehensive style guide for Fanmetrix to use in their brand awareness campaigns.

BengalFox (Oakland Park, FL, United States): Solution for Warehouse Efficiency, developed by Redwerk from the ground up

"Redwerk helped us create an internal app from ground 0 from the app logo, home screen, login capability all the way to the finished product. They continually help us with updates and immediately respond to us if we have questions or notes for changes we want to make." - Justin Avery, Shipping Manager at BengalFox

CHALLENGE

BengalFox needed a solution to optimize its shipping operations by cutting down monotonous and repetitive tasks of warehouse employees. Our major challenge was reducing the time needed to process one order to an absolute minimum; otherwise, the app would defeat its purpose. 

SOLUTION
Redwerk helped BengalFox streamline its shipping operations by building a handy app for warehouse employees. We carefully thought through every step of the user flow, which allowed us to reach the desired speed of the app, cover all possible non-standard cases, and implement intuitive UI.

RESULT
BengalFox employees now process orders in a much more convenient way. We achieved 3 seconds duration of a standard user flow, reducing the time and effort spent on the manual processing of each order.

Cakemail (Montreal, Canada): Solution for Efficient Email Marketing, enhanced by Redwerk

“My team worked with Redwerk as we needed to push to produce our new software quicker than our resources permitted. Their team was quick and reliable, always communicating clearly when something was missing or needed more information. They molded their way of working around ours in order to facilitate production and communication even though we were not in the same time zone and they felt like they were part of the internal team. The team of developers we worked with was exceptional and listened to our every need. Would definitely work with them again in the future when we have new projects to deliver quickly.” - Yanna-Torry Aspraki, Project Manager at Cakemail

CHALLENGE
Cakemail asked us to redo the frontend part of Forms to align this section with the rest of the upgrades applied to the Cakemail v5 app. Cakemail had completely changed their Contacts module, which affected the way users captured their contacts through online subscription forms. As a result, the original Forms section no longer worked with new Contacts; therefore, it required a brand new code. Apart from working with the tight deadline, we also had to prepare the frontend without the backend because it was not ready when we started.

SOLUTION
Our main task was to replace the old Forms section that had limited functionality with new Forms built with React so that all features of the Cakemail v5 app worked in sync. First things first, we performed precise sprint planning, which allowed us to minimize any deadline risks. We used mock objects agreed with the client’s backend team to ensure further backend-frontend compatibility.

RESULT
We managed to deliver the project on time. With our assistance, Cakemail can complete the transition from Cakemail v4 to Cakemail v5 without compromising the app’s functionality.

Freenet (NY, USA): Open Source Solution for Anonymity Online, enhanced by Redwerk working closely with the core team

“Redwerk improved the styles of our main theme. It now works much better for small devices like phones. Thanks to Redwerk, Freenet 0.7.5 build 1485 adds checking for Ogg Theora video files and Freenet can now display video safely. There is also a "Send confidential message" button on the friends page, so these messages are no longer hidden in a dropdown list. Also thanks to Redwerk, Freemail_wot is updated to v0.2.7.4 with better detection of contacts missing from WoT.” - Arne Babenhauserheide, Freenet Development Team

NEED
Freenet was the first to apply the P2P approach to Internet anonymity, designed with a mission to ensure freedom on the Internet. When Redwerk was offered to contribute to the project development, we were eager to pitch in. We took over part of software upgrade, maintenance, QA, and user support tasks to relieve the workload of the Freenet core development team. Overall, our major goal was to improve Freenet software making it faster and easier to use.

EXECUTION
The main functionality of the project is written in Java and we were glad to apply our expertise. When we started studying the project, we focused on its core, which is Fred (Freenet REference Daemon). It’s the most important part of the software, without which Freenet forums, plugins, and mail would not exist. We also worked on improving the functionality of Freenet’s plugins such as KeepAlive, Library, and Freemail. We managed to enhance the overall software quality and upgrade the plugins that were of special interest to our sponsor.

RESULT
Redwerk helped Freenet enhance its core features and make several plugins fully functional again. All the improvements we have made are essential for retaining existing users, attracting new participants, and spreading the word about the platform and its purpose.

M3 Glass Technologies (Texas, USA) - M3 Glass Product Customization Tool, designed and implemented by Redwerk

CHALLENGE
M3 Glass Technologies came to us with the idea of implementing an interactive design tool that would allow customers to visualize the look of their space after applying the desired glass designs. One of the main requirements was to make the design responsive, focusing on a large Mac, the latest versions of iOS and Android tablets, and a regular laptop. Of course, we wanted to make the interactive tool mobile-friendly as well. We also had to make sure that all the patterns look neat in different versions of the following browsers: Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox.

EXECUTION
The design team created separate 3D images of a glass wall and floor so that later the patterns from the client’s menu could be superimposed on these transparent backgrounds. M3 Glass provided us with the patterns catalog, and our part was to enable the transfer of the pattern onto the glass model with the help of HTML and CSS. We also had to consider the image perspective for the glass design to look realistic. To make the graphics perfect regardless of the transformation, we used the SVG format. On top of that, our designers created an interface for the interactive tool so that M3 Glass consumers could easily visualize their glass-design ideas and customize the available pattern to their liking.

RESULT
The product we developed allows customers to experiment with the selection of patterns for their glass floors, walls, commercial or private spaces. Now, this interactive tool is an important part of the website as it catches consumers’ attention. While M3 Glass clients enjoy their artistic freedom, the company reaps the benefits of increased user engagement that, in turn, drives sales.

NEED
The company needed to develop the mobile application for tutors. Gooroo team had a clear vision of how to ease the lives of tutors and students willing to obtain knowledge in various fields of study requiring offline lessons with experienced tutors. Redwerk gladly agreed to help Gooroo with mobile application development services.

Searchturbo (Berlin, Germany) - Lighting fast mobile browser with advanced Omnibox, developed by Redwerk
 

“Redwerk helped us scale our mobile development resources and deliver successful android projects. I found them to have the skillset and ability to understand what our needs were - both business and technical - to support us in delivering a complex application. The team was always proactive with questions and issues and put in every effort to provide a high-quality product. I can highly recommend Redwerk to hire for web and mobile software development if you need reliable and professional development.” - Michael Boecher, Co-Founder & COO, SearchTurbo Ltd

CHALLENGE
Searchturbo came to us having an idea of an advanced mobile browser and tasked Redwerk with creating an Android application. The main idea was to create the most accessible and sharing-oriented mobile surfing experience for Android. One of the biggest challenges was to optimize and improve build assembling, as the size of the source code exceeded 30 GB and took hours to compile when we just started.

SOLUTION
First of all, we added cache and wrote bach-scripts to accelerate and partly automate version assembling. After that, we created our own git-flow to simplify working with Chromium, and resolve conflicts faster. As to the visible part of the app, the bottom Omnibox got all the possible features for comfortable usage. The main app screen got three tabs – Start Page, Search History and Favorites. Start screen in its turn offers users weather, news and a daily selection of videos available for over 18 languages.

RESULT
Start app has been installed over 100 000 times, getting numerous positive reviews. Unlike most browsers in Google Play, Start doesn’t drain your memory or battery and offers smooth, comfortable browsing with controls right on your fingertips. Our mobile app development company is proud of those achievements.

SpamHound (Germany): Spam-blocking app featured at Collision ideated & developed from scratch by Redwerk

NEED

Redwerk has several in-house mobile applications on its account and dozens created for our clients worldwide. To be on a trendy wave of app development we always advance our knowledge of new technologies and abilities of mobile platforms.

The idea of our next pet project appeared when Apple showed iOS 11 early beta with spam filtering functionality. As almost every person who has a phone receives lots of annoying spam messages from services you never subscribed to, our iPhone software development specialists decided to dig a bit deeper and use the shiny new options of iOS for Redwerk’s next app.

But it wouldn’t be us if we didn’t research all the opportunities the functionality offers and then port it to Android.

CHALLENGE

The main challenge for our team was to create a tool that helps to protect from spammers, which usually are telemarketers, taxis, shops, and effectively blocks messages from them, with flexible filtering rules & settings.

In the development process of both iOS and Android apps, we dealt with:

• Database structure
• Multiple filtering
• Filter overlapping
• Back-ups storage

RESULT

We’ve done a great job on the way to launch SpamHound to App Store and Play Market. Both applications reached their audience and now protect people all over the world from annoying spam.

Furthermore, SpamHound was presented at Collision’18 conference in New Orleans as Alpha startup and reached many positive reviews! After the success of SpamHound, we understood that there are also many other spheres where antispam protection is needed and decided to create SpamHound’s successor – CallHound Unwanted Call Blocker to overcome unwanted and spam calls.

Quandoo came to us having a multifunctional restaurant management platform, and tasked Redwerk with creating a mobile application for restaurant owners and admins.

Development

Together with Quandoo team, our software developing company decided to create a native application for iOS platform, as it offered better stability and performance than a cross-platform solution. The logic of the app was separated: one part was responsible for all the things server, and the other one was dedicated to front-end or interface. Server side was built on a platform belonging to Quandoo company, which we have modified for the needs of the application. All front-end was created from the ground-up.

Design

Besides the development, we also worked with the UI/UX part of the project. Our team thrived to create the design that can be utilized easily by both new and existing users of Quandoo solutions. We also ensured the compliance with style guidelines and general principles of the brand.

At the initial stage, we created an interactive prototype, that was tested by our team first and then passed to the beta users. The results of this testing helped us to move in the right direction and achieve clean and intuitive interface design with the traditional accents of Quandoo.

The main purpose of our work was to help clients interact with the Quandoo platform fast and efficiently both on the front-end and on the insides. The complexity of the project had been growing with each additional feature. But we had several solutions for each problem, giving the ability to choose the most appropriate out of all. In order to achieve desired results, we used powerful libraries like Alamofire, SwiftyJSON, JTAppleCalendar and many others.

Results

During the time of our partnership, we have succeeded in assembling a cooperative team and optimized all project management and development processes. Due to our productive teamwork and lingering experience in custom iPhone app development, we were fully able to deliver a quality product within the deadline.

Redwerk team has successfully delivered a fully functional app for Quandoo. Now, this app helps with the management of over 18,000 restaurants around the globe.

These accomplishments prove that software projects outsourcing allows software development with the greatest business value, enabling tight cost management, work scope, and time.

Like Labs is a handy iPad application allowing visitors in public places to instantly create and share a review with others via social media, email, and SMS.

The discovery effort of our business analysts resulted in a full-scale scope document including detailed business logic specifications. It allowed us to accomplish Like Labs project within the defined timeline and precise budget.

Throughout LikeLabs’s development process, our engineers focused on creating a high-quality, object-oriented design. Redwerk developed the code to be maintained and extended with ease, while the overall architecture is domain-driven design (DDD). Our solution developers used several design patterns for enterprise applications including multilayered architecture, rich domain model, Model-View-Controller, Gateway, etc. All the sources were thoroughly reviewed and JUnit tests were used to check the functionality.

As a result of Redwerk's development efforts, a rich and robust architecture model was promptly designed. The first fully functional version was built in only 2 ½ months. Users proved the iPad application was very intuitive and easy to use. In the end, the client got an application letting users share reviews via an on-site communal iPad.

Digitair Servicii Informatice SRL is a leading Romanian mobile application developer and provider of integrated mobile marketing solutions, as well as a premium content creator and publisher. Digitair became a BREW Authenticated Developer with Qualcomm in 2003, making it the first software development firm in Romania to adopt BREW. Nowadays development competencies have been extended to most important mobile platforms, including iOS and Android. Digitair mobile application clients span major newspapers and magazines, big international and domestic consumer brands and various local artists.

Digitair needed a reliable, competent software development partner to bring to life their ideas on next-generation mobile advertisement. This project’s challenge was to build a robust, scalable, flexible and future-proof advertising solution, easily adjustable to the ever-changing fast-evolving mobile ecosystem. Being an experienced company in providing Android outsourcing services, we certainly accepted this challenge for our team.

Redwerk business analysts сomposed full-scale documentation which kept detailed business logic specs. Next, the project assessment was amended, finalized and presented to Digitair.

Adfectious is currently used on popular Romanian sites like meteoromania.ro and fhm.ro, in Arbomedia’s portfolio sites including m.hi5.com, and serving in-app ads in software solutions on iOS and Android. It goes to show how custom iPhone app development is capable of providing options that help in fostering business growth.

All of Worldnow apps for local news channels show banner ads. These were always an important part of the apps, and it was Redwerk’s task to modernize their implementation and make them even smoother in order to have a solid foundation for future app upgrades. The banner ads were displayed via UIWebView and web snippets, which meant that the apps needed a browser component to be able to display banners.

We decided to implement an even more efficient advertising solution using Google DFP (Doubleclick For Publishers). DFP is a SaaS-based advertising software by Google. It is used to display banners anywhere: on websites, in mobile applications, etc. It has a flexible selection of banners: e.g. they can be sorted by tags or by the location of a banner on a page. DFP users can easily configure the list of banners via a web interface.

After the migration to DFP was completed successfully, the next step was to configure the banners view properly. Ads had to be resized and configured for individual apps, and the user’s location info had to be taken into account.

This process required migrating all advertisement data (more than 300 affiliates, around 10,000 advertising campaigns, 100,000 banners) from the old platform to the new system.

Redwerk's task was to resolve an Important Video Streaming Issue with closed captioning for major TV channels in the USA.

The technology used by Worldnow for re-streaming and displaying live streams on their clients’ websites was provided by Akamai Technologies, a U.S. network which specializes in Internet content delivery. While this is one of the largest distributed computing platforms in the world and currently serves between 15 and 20 percent of all web traffic, the display of closed captions proved to be a problem as they just disappeared once a video signal containing CC data was uploaded to their servers. Redwerk's software experts quickly identified the source of the problem: Flash media live encoder (FMLE) actually deleted all CC data when encoding the video signal to AAC/H264.

Redwerk’s experts had to go through a lengthy testing process with a great number of different configurations for ffmpeg before finally achieving the project’s goal of sending CC data to Akamai and avoiding the loss of such data during encoding. 

As a result, all streamed content is now displayed correctly through Flash Player (RTMP, HDS streaming) and also on iDevices (HLS streaming). The customer’s problem was solved in a satisfactory manner, and the great video experience is now guaranteed for all end-users.

Universal Music Group (UMG) is the global music leader with strong market positions in recorded music, music publishing, and merchandising.

The challenge for Redwerk’s software engineers was to update a Facebook application by Universal Music which searches your friends’ “likes” and the music they are listening to and suggests music based on their preferences. This ass pulls music data from an artist database and then syncs the user’s lists with their friends in order to obtain “compatibility scores”, and then music recommendations are displayed according to these matches. The following changes needed to be done to the Facebook app in order to launch it on the American market:

1) Updating the algorithm for compatibility score. In order to show the appropriate list of artists we had to develop a compatibility scoring algorithm.

2) Extending links list. The existing application supported only two links for downloading from the online stores: iTunes and GetMusic. Our task was to extend this list with Spotify and other external resources.

3) Updating the design. We were given clear instructions by the client on how the layout had to be adapted to update the look and feel of the app. 

4) Updating the Database. The database had to be updated with a new list of artists, album art and music download links.

5) Creating the updated Facebook app. And the most pleasant result for us was a happy client and a lot of Facebook users with much larger record collections!

Business Momentum is a Dutch provider of an ERP based on the open-source OpenBravo project.

The client’s product was an enterprise resource planning system (ERP) based on the open-source Openbravo project. Redwerk’s software experts were tasked with extending the functionality of this software by adding one more screen to the user interface. For this, it was essential that we took into account the context of the given solution, and a custom business logic needed to be added. Our team had to create the application’s business layer and adapt the new UI to the existing UI of the software.

All new functionality was designed to fit in seamlessly with the rest of the system by keeping in mind Openbravo’ UI design principles. All ended well, and the extension was built according to the client’s requirements. Redwerk’s solution fit in perfectly with the existing structure and the general look and feel of the system.

When the Openbravo software finally reached its end customers, it was implemented in two companies of very different sectors, one a heavy industry company specialized in buying and selling torque and tensioning systems and the other a retailer and online shop focused exclusively on Apple products.

Green Valley BV is one of the top e-government solutions providers in the Netherlands and Belgium. Their specialized, government standard-compliant CMS is used by hundreds of cities and counties, non-profit organizations and companies, as well as in the foreign missions of the kingdom of the Netherlands. The Belgian branch of Green Valley BV contracted Redwerk to customize its main product, the CMS, for the town of Maasmechelen in Belgium. They provided Web page designs approved by the town’s local authorities’ employees, as well as the website’s functional requirements.

Additionally, a new module had to be developed for the CMS product. It had to allow citizens and civil servants to make online listings or reservations for events. An event can be anything — a book, a car, a meeting room, officer appointments and more.

The reservation process had to be represented visually with a calendar displaying occupied and free time slots marked by different colors. Monthly, weekly and daily views had to be available. To authenticate users, the module had to be user profile-aware and be available on both the intranet (for civil employees only) and the Internet sites (for citizens).

Having worked side-by-side with Green Valley’s core CMS developers before, the Redwerk team easily customized it to the town of Maasmechelen’s needs and requirements. Photoshop mockups were created. Templates were put in their places. JavaScript programming was performed.

All of Worldnow apps for local news channels show banner ads. These were always an important part of the apps, and it was Redwerk’s task to modernize their implementation and make them even smoother in order to have a solid foundation for future app upgrades. The banner ads were displayed via UIWebView and web snippets, which meant that the apps needed a browser component to be able to display banners.

We decided to implement an even more efficient advertising solution using Google DFP (Doubleclick For Publishers). DFP is a SaaS-based advertising software by Google. It is used to display banners anywhere: on websites, in-mobile applications, etc. It has a flexible selection of banners: e.g. they can be sorted by tags or by the location of a banner on a page. DFP users can easily configure the list of banners via a web interface.

After the migration to DFP was completed successfully, the next step was to configure the banners view properly. Ads had to be resized and configured for individual apps, and the user’s location info had to be taken into account.

This process required migrating all advertisement data (more than 300 affiliates, around 10,000 advertising campaigns, 100,000 banners) from the old platform to the new system.

Green Valley developed a plugin called DSOI (Discovery Server Office Integration) for their CMS product that is used by a wide variety of government authorities, as well as corporate customers.

The plugin allows easy access from Microsoft Word to the document tree and dramatically improves user experience. It allows accessing, modifying, and uploading new documents to the CMS directly from Word and to also set

metadata. It opens Word files stored in the CMS. All of these actions are performed via the plugin’s menu added at installation.

DSOI was written in C++ and it communicates with Office using COM and OLE technologies, so it could only be used with certain versions of MS Office libraries. Therefore, Green Valley was maintaining several plugin builds for each version of MS Word. And once users upgraded their Office version, the plugin became non-functional.

The challenge was to create a next generation plugin that would meet the following requirements:

- Easy to install

- Require no admin rights to install

- Be as independent from a MS Office version as possible

- Support multiple languages and be localized at least in English and Dutch

The technology proposed and implemented by Redwerk makes it easy to port the plugin to OpenOffice should there ever be a need to do so. Its modular architecture allows adding support for other storages, types of authentication and XML handling without changing the rest of the code.

- We had to implement standard features of a CMS like the ability to modify text, add pages or write blog posts.

- Create a persistent option to subscribe to a news bulletin throughout the website.

- Migrate from the previously configured mailchimp to mailgun, as this was supported by the Rackspace cloud service.

- In addition to the shop itself we were responsible for a full re-design of the website based on WordPress system, while maintaining the general layout and flow of actions. This had to be developed in a short amount of time, and based on a general description of the desired look and feel.

The ready website made by Redwerk included the following features:

- Wine shop

- Blog with news

- Coupons and account management functions

Redwerk's task was to develop Citizen Requests Processing System for local government authorities in partnership with Green Valley BV.

European Union e-government laws define a clear matrix for government clerks processing citizen inquiries. Every time a person requests permission to perform certain property upkeep actions, update their address, request a new ID card, etc., they must follow a specific submission

 process. All requests must be answered within an established time period.

Green Valley BV is one of the top e-government solutions providers in the Netherlands and Belgium. Their specialized, government standard-compliant CMS is used by hundreds of cities and counties, non-profit organizations and companies, as well as in the foreign missions of the kingdom of the Netherlands. Green Valley BV delivered a system featuring a scalable multi-component architecture with Redwerk’s support. It can be installed on one PC or on multiple servers to withstand a heavy load.

Together, Green Valley and Redwerk developed the application installer that automatically detects an LDAP type and schema, allows database type selection and automatically updates the DB in upgrade mode saving field engineers’ valuable time.

The first beta was delivered 3 months after development began. Soon, Web Intake became one of Green Valley’s key products, used and loved by many government offices and end-users across the Netherlands and Belgium.

In this project, Redwerk has automated professional sports operator's tedious manual search. The client was a company providing professional sports software solutions.

Redwerk was tasked with developing a solution, which combined automated web searches and web crawling. Additionally, we were asked to build a data storage solution in order to be able to sort information and run queries.

For the end-user, this means that the software makes it now easier to find tournaments and events and to get all the relevant tournament information and contact details.

Being a one-stop-shop for software development, Redwerk has implemented this automated sports tournaments crawling solution from the ground up. We went through every phase here: requirements analysis and discovery, UI/UX design, development, testing, deployment, maintenance, and support.

Redwerk’s team soon realized that is was very difficult, cost-ineffective and time-consuming to merely replicate our client’s manual algorithm of our customer with automated processes. Instead, we focused on implementing a search structure with a fixed set of data sources, of which Facebook was used in the prototype. This kind of system was much easier to implement and maintain and met the initial requirements perfectly.

With this solution, Redwerk managed to save its client valuable time and money, and our engineers found an elegant solution to a tricky problem, from which many professional sports operators should be able to benefit in the future.

eNomad is an Intuitive mobile geolocation Android app for travelers helping them find the places of different categories – shops, restaurants, gyms, co-working, etc.

Being a one-stop shop for software development, Redwerk has taken the concept and designs from the customer, implemented and tested the Android app from the ground up, suggesting solutions and best practices on 3rd party API usage. After downloading the

app, the user can select multiple categories of services needed through a wheel picker, set a distance radius and then check at a glance the respective listings on the map, around his current location.

In the map view mode, the user can select each listing to check the respective reviews left by other users, save the listing or get the directions. Saved places can be accessed later from the app’s header. The user can also change the current location, by inputting a new address in the search box, in order to check the available listings around it.

The app concept and full UX design was designed by our client Camilla Bonanni, a mobile publisher who chose Redwerk for the development of her proprietary project. Redwerk took on the development of the app upon the directions of client’s given interface and navigation design. The challenge of the project was to reflect precisely what the client had already in mind in terms of UX and implement the combined geolocation functionalities that were behind it.

Incling specializes in building online communities to solve marketing, innovation and communication challenges. Incling came to Redwerk with a developed Java applet for screencast recording, which needed to be upgraded to a cross-platform standalone app.

At Redwerk, we like to keep our builds automated and our code clean and minimalistic – fewer lines means fewer bugs. Therefore, our obvious first step after a

detailed code review was to implement Gradle-based build scripts and use Maven repos to fetch dependencies. With just a few hours’ cleanup, we were able to shrink the code base by almost 15,000 lines. This also allowed us to execute the entire build process with a single console command.

After the initial setup, our Java developers began work on creating the application, writing installation scripts, and fixing the translation infrastructure, all simultaneously. As the applet was already written in Java, it took almost no time at all to retool the existing code into a standalone application. We wrote our package and installer scripts using NSIS, launch4j, fpm, pkgbuild, and packr. Our solution automatically installs Java on the user’s machine if necessary and registers a custom URI handler which lets users launch the application by clicking a link on the web page.

We also implemented a way to seamlessly deliver version updates to users: whenever a user starts a new screencast, the app communicates with the backend to check if there are any updates available and updates itself in the background if necessary.

PlusPlus is the entertaining chatbot written for Slack. It allows scoring things your friends say and do on Slack by addressing to objects and users with ‘@’. It has a global leaderboard and every action influences the overall results.

The task for Redwerk team was to completely rewrite the bot, originally made in Python, by using Ruby as the core technology. The challenge was also to increase stability,

 make it possible to scale and optimize the overall performance of this high load project.

When the infrastructure was planned, we based our assumptions about the load on the average statistics of old Python bot usage: approx. 500-700 thousand user actions per minute. Our team extended this load level up to ~1 million user actions/minute in order to have some extra capacity and provided a set of tests on staging. And suddenly it turned out that Slack limits testing to 1 message per second and doesn’t have the functionality to test high load projects. The actual live load of PlusPlus performed over 20-50 million actions per minute, so the existing infrastructure couldn’t support it. In order to resolve these issues, Redwerk team developed functionality that uses multiple CPU cores on each server, along with a specific Bot Manager, which routes each bot to a specific node (Server + CPU core).

We also switched from Ubuntu to CentOS. CentOS in its turn provided a more stable environment while working with MongoDB and supported the excessive action load.

EUREL was founded in Rome in 1986 by a group of electronic and computer engineers with the aim of creating computer systems for the Public Administration. 

Redwerk, as a software development outsourcing company, was assigned the task of upgrading part of the EUREL EUGI platform used by the European Parliament, taking care of integration, quality assurance, deployment, and bug fixing. The scope of the project was to migrate a legacy JBoss-based application to a modern, easy-to-maintain Spring/Tomcat-based one.

• Thanks to our extensive experience in Java EE and Spring development, we were able to quickly decompose our work into smaller subtasks and plan further actions. This allowed us to easily coordinate work and manage EUREL expectations while keeping things organized.
• At the very start of the project, we established efficient lines of communication between all involved parties across the globe. People in Ukraine, Italy, and Belgium were coordinated and aware of current progress and challenges at all times. We also moved task and issue tracking from email and instant messaging to modern bug tracking software for easy management.
• One of the first things we did was set up a testing environment in our office. Developers made use of integration and unit tests to ensure that business logic and APIs functioned according to the EUREL project design.
• We also organized a workflow where code could be written in Ukraine and tested in Brussels the same day, allowing developers to receive instant feedback from future system users.

These measures allowed us to deliver a high-quality project, on schedule and fully tested, in spite of the limitations and constraints we faced.

We also proved once again that the option to outsource Java development to Redwerk can help every company to receive the best result.

Caesium is a startup freelance marketplace that helps clients, individuals, and teams to find each other and work on joint projects.

Caesium was built with Laravel, Postgres and Firebase at the backend and Angular and SCSS at the frontend, so we continued to use these technologies for further development. As a prominent JavaScript development company, Redwerk used Angular to provide dynamic elements of the app interface. During the working process, we continued the development of the product and even fixed several functions that did not work correctly according to the design.

Our team also faced the issue with SEO abilities of pages that are loaded by JavaScript. It was because Google’s crawler does not process elements in Angular, so we found the way to solve it by using a proxy server that goes through the page content, make the HTML copy and displays static copies of the pages to Googlebot.

Justin Alexander is a world known bridal dress fashion brand with over 1500 retail stores and huge multi-brand online platform, created by Redwerk. Our talented team of developers, QA engineers and project managers applied all their skills and experience to make this project perfect. We implemented a built-in page builder, developed functional search and filtering systems, and have achieved pixel-perfect magazine layout on multiple screen dimensions. Now the website is a global showroom that allows to choose dresses and search for retail stores in one place.

School Observation app helps to control the quality of education in a simple way.

Animatron is a service for creating animations, cartoons, 2D games, and presentations. The process of working on this web application was laborious, so the development was divided into several stages. As a result, in Animatron Redwerk team implemented a system for logging in, registering, creating and managing content, and now users can seamlessly export their projects to the social networks and share them with friends.

Cleanagents is a useful Android application for searching cleaning executors. With this app, customers can place announcements and manage them, and cleaners can view orders and photos of cleaning objects, as well as use the map to build a route to the workplace. The developed application has made the process of booking cleaning services easier, and later, it was bought by Helpling.de.

PageFreezer is a service for archiving and storing websites and social network pages. Redwerk team strong development skills allowed us to create this product from the ground up. A network adapter for scanning social network profiles and a modern web crawler enable PageFreezer to store and replay the content in real time. After long years of development and improving, this service became the most technologically advanced solution in its field.

We could not help but get very excited to work on the project for the famous Georgian brand Borjomi. This time our designers were challenged to create a UI/UX design for Borjomi project Restoguide - a web version and mobile app for local restaurants, that would keep the strong association with the brand.

Branding is of highest importance when you talk about visuals. It is always the part, that is being remembered by user - non-verbal images and corporate fonts and colors. Our designers did their best by bringing up imagery evoked by Borjomi brand, combining a familiar mountain with cutlery.

Then our designer team created wire frames to get to know our client better and map out the functionality of the pages. Further, custom styled, brand matching Google map was integrated into the project in order to support brand assistance idea. We are very proud of this project results!

Our design solution was based on the client’s brand book and documentation. The user-journey map was elaborated to showcase the logic of the mobile and web application dynamics and user flow between screens.

We created Art design in accordance with positioning compliance, relevance, creativity, trendiness, and innovation while maintaining overall simplicity and comprehensiveness. Custom styled, brand matching Google map was integrated into the project in order to support brand assistance ideas.

Our specialists offered a working solution on the architecture of an iOS app, Wireflow, Wireframes, UI Design of the main screens, including canter- and left-aligning layouts, and possible variations of the brand promotion within Georgian Restoguide.

All work was made in accordance with Borjomi brand and based on the thorough analysis of the existing Borjomi products and Georgian Gastroguide.

Structure of the project includes:

• List of restaurants

• Search and filtration of the restaurants on the following filters: dishes, cuisine offers based on the season, location, price and rating. Moreover, the following solution was offered: the main screen content changes depending on the user’s location. If the user does not enable geolocation, or she is outside of Georgia, the content provided is general for Georgia. If the region/city is indicated, restaurants are recommended depending on the location.  

• Application page (function description, FAQ, links to the online store)

• Articles with TOP-10 restaurants guides

• To each element analytics tools:

• Google Analytics (Internet and Programs)

• A complete understanding of user interaction with application elements.

Results

Redwerk high-skilled designers delivered a commendable result and reached the final of the tender competition, which proves our outstanding expertise and creativity. In addition to the UI/UX part of the project, our marketing specialist elaborated on the native integration of Borjomi products into the Gastroguide application.

Redwerk introduces a brand new mobile application for travelers. From now on the wanderlusters will not forget to update visas and will not exceed the permitted period of stay in the country.

Redwerk's Founder and Chief Executive Officer Konstantin Klyagin says of the solution: "Travelling is not only my passion but also my work. I am a businessman, and by virtue of my activity, I am obliged to travel frequently to meet with my clients or to visit various international conferences.

I have dozens of visas in my passport and it always puzzles me when it comes to visas’ due dates. Besides, I have alway to keep in mind the number of days I am allowed to stay in a particular country for not to breach the law.

There are tones of travel app to any taste that one can find in the stores, but when you have to travel from county to country on a daily basis, it is crucial to be aware of laws and your visa statuses in order to be an upstanding traveler, so I was trying to find the app that would help me to keep track of all that. I hadn’t found the one, so I decided - if there isn’t such a convenient tool yet - I must create it!”

In order to develop a smart on-hand digital travel assistant, the Redwerk team took into account the needs of both avid voyagers and businessmen, as well as professionals of the world-class level, who are often on their way from country to country completing their work contacts.

TripFrog is designed to warn in advance about the visa expiration date and the need to visit an embassy to renew it. The app automatically tracks travelers’ locomotion around the countries and prevents visa waivers in case they are going to exceed the allowed length of stay.

Besides, collecting the geomarks data of photos one makes on a trip, TripFrog shapes the detailed travel history and groups the photos from each visited location.

The client hired Redwerk to modernize their web application for automation of workflows related to audit and statistics.The existing application had an outdated interface and was not too user-friendly. It only worked on Windows operating systems and required an installation. The idea for the new application was to have a modern, convenient interface, to be easier to use and to be extendable with additional functionality in the

 future.

The main task we've done was to re-create the desktop application as a web app in the cloud, making it accessible from anywhere and from any device, without the need for installation. The new application was redesigned to be usable by more than one user at a time, and also Redwerk's team updated all data in real-time. 

Also, Redwerk has updated the app's design, which was prepared by our UI/UX designers and subsequently approved by the client. Logical functions were separated from the UI so that coding could be finished as soon as possible. The design followed a minimalistic concept.

Among other tasks, Redwerk has implemented some new required features and functionality (for invoices and client data, some new reporting features).

Redwerk’s engineers are known for providing high-quality Java outsourcing services and this project was no exception. As a result, a modern, dynamic web application was developed, mirroring the functionality of the desktop application while adding new features. The new web app automates a number of things, which had to be done manually before.
