Product
Team model
The client is a Japanese company that provides education-related software to a broad category of users. The customer offers next-generation solutions based on significant expertise in the domain of educational technologies, along with the understanding of user needs.
The customer decided to launch an application that issues and verifies educational badges. The main aim of the platform is to validate academic records of its users, which improves their employment opportunities and academic perspectives.
The company decided to build its product with the help of the Blockchain technology in order to ensure its maximum security.
The client had a clear vision of the secure, Blockchain-backed product that would issue educational badges. They wanted to find a reliable partner with the required knowledge of Blockchain and other technologies applied for software development. They also needed to find a partner capable of using such knowledge in practice to build a product that works.
Binariks provided a dedicated team composed of architect, backend developer, frontend developer, UI/UX designer, QA, and a project manager. On the customer side, there was only a product manager.
Our experienced software specialists developed architecture for the client’s web platform. We created an MVP with Java backend and React frontend. We continue our work on the first version of the product
The client searched for an agile technology partner in the Ukrainian market. After continuous communication and interviews, the customer remained satisfied with the technology expertise of Binariks software engineering specialists. They were also attracted by our agile approach to management, along with a broad range of services all over the software development lifecycle. After starting a technology partnership with our company, the customer decided to assign one of their top-priority projects to our company.
Due to their significant industry expertise, the client was familiar with the most valuable trends and demands peculiar to the Asian market of educational technologies. The customer realized that a secure and trustworthy platform, fortified with Blockchain technologies, would aid both educational facilities and their students.
The work on the project started from a discovery phase in May 2020. At this stage, our architect provided a basic architecture for the upcoming MVP. We suggested the most appropriate technology stack for the project and started developing a UI/UX design for the application.
After all the main functionalities and technological features of the product were decided, we started our work on the MVP. Our developers used Java stack to create the application backend. React became the main solution for frontend development. During the active development phase, Binariks technology specialists continuously communicated with the client via Slack. We also had weekly meetings and demonstrations that updated the client regarding the status of a project. Jira was chosen as the best solution for task management. Our professionals also provided the client with technology notes and weekly status reports.
After the MVP was ready and the list of platform requirements and functionalities was updated, our dedicated team started working on the first version of the application. Our software engineering professionals ensured the integration of Blockchain technologies in order to promote top-notch security of educational badges. We also enriched the web platform with multiple new functionalities. One of the main challenges faced by our team is that we have to ensure the integration of the platform with the customer’s account management software, which is also in the stage of development. It requires us to align some of our efforts with the client’s software development specialist working on the account management application.
At this point, we have provided the customer with the first version of the application. We will continue our cooperation in order to optimize the product, ensure its GDPR compliance, and expand its functionalities in accordance with the emerging client requirements.
We have provided the customer with an MVP that incorporates the basic functionalities of the Blockchain-powered edutech platform. The provided product is a highly-scalable and feature-packed web application with Java backend and React frontend. We continue our cooperation with the customer to deliver a demand in the market of educational technologies products.
The main values to which we adhere while working on this project are the following:
Japan
“The team at Binariks is vibrant, proactive, and efficient. Their autonomous nature complements their open approach.”
