Situation
BaseBox is an innovative tech start-up with the goal to become an easy-to-use online service, that allows non-technical users to create data-driven applications and host them in the cloud.
BaseBox started as a proof of concept but soon gained the potential to grow worldwide. Because of the way it was designed, however, the app was not yet ready for this. BaseBox first had to be secure and ready to scale. This is where the Valcon experts came in. The challenge for them was to reach the quality level and deliver the defined feature set that would give BaseBox a good starting position with the early adopters.
This defined feature set will be the basic – the one that will provide value for the users and make them want to use the product. From there on, BaseBox will be able to move into phase 2 – building on top of the existing foundations, broadening feature set, and acquiring third-party integrations.
Approach
First of all, our expert team in the Netherlands worked in collaboration with BaseBox to collect all the data necessary to get this project running. We always focus on the business requirements and goals, and we define the scope and timeline. Re-phrasing current functionalities into solutions that are more aligned with UX best practices were part of this.
With the goals aligned and an appointed project owner, our top-class engineers and designers were able to start building the application from scratch as a robust application with the potential for expansion. To reach that goal, a new architecture and public-facing APIs were a big part of the solution provided by Valcon.
Results
The BaseBox application is now a secure and scalable platform that allows non-technical users to create data-driven applications and host them in the cloud. BaseBox is ready to scale because of the architecture of the application, the security, and the possibility to integrate with third parties because of the public-facing API. BaseBox is now ready on all fronts, to be used worldwide.
