Focusing on People, Not Just Processes

The Problem

Cargoclix, a distinguished provider in transport management systems, was set on transforming their offerings by developing a cloud-based omnichannel version of their transport system. With an ambitious team of 20, they were at a critical phase of scaling and needed structured processes to manage this transition effectively. The challenge was to establish a workflow that could support the development and launch of their new platform efficiently.

The Solution

Leapify was brought on board in the middle of the omnichannel project to accelerate progress and introduce robust project management methodologies. Here’s how we contributed to the project's success:

  • Project Management: We provided expert project management to keep the project on track, ensuring that all team members were aligned with the project goals and deadlines.
  • Jira Setup: We configured their Jira instance to optimize it for both the product and engineering teams, creating a central point for task management and progress tracking.
  • Confluence Implementation: Implementing Confluence using industry best practices helped maintain thorough and accessible documentation, which is crucial for project continuity and knowledge transfer.
  • Agile Practices: We introduced Agile methodologies such as Sprints, Scrum, and Agile Artifacts, which transformed the workflow into a more dynamic and responsive environment.
  • Bi-weekly Management Reporting: We initiated bi-weekly management reports that provided clear insights and helped in making informed decisions swiftly.
  • Empirical Software Development: By introducing estimation techniques and an empirical approach to software development, we enabled the team to better predict outcomes and improve efficiency.

The Results

The collaboration lasted for a focused period of three months, during which Leapify’s involvement became a catalyst for success. The transition to a cloud-based web solution was accomplished on time, showcasing the effective adaptation and management of new practices by the Cargoclix team. This timely delivery, facilitated by the structured and strategic processes we implemented, was a significant achievement for Cargoclix and a testament to our partnership.
