Our client, an energy company called Winder, needed to enhance the security and operational efficiency of its critical facilities. Computools assisted in developing a customised system that performs real-time calculations, integrates various devices, and uses advanced algorithms for predictive analysis. This solution elevated the client’s safety standards and improved operational efficiency.
The client builds and maintains dedicated systems that secure critical facilities and systems. It operates on a global level.
The main challenge was to provide accurate calculations to meet security standards in large physical facilities. Existing systems were complex, with many customisations, and often required expert investigations as they could not perform real-time calculations. Connecting various modern devices into a single network posed information sharing and communications challenges.
Computools solved these problems by creating a customised system that can handle energy-related devices and use the latest algorithms to predict events and make intelligent decisions in different situations. This system can also predict how devices can be better placed and configured to work better in terms of performance and safety. With this approach, the level of security and performance of large physical facilities has improved. It is now possible to meet security standards more confidently and allocate resources.
The system improved the level of security in large physical facilities, which was critical for a client working in secure systems. It allowed for more reliable compliance with security standards and timely response to potential threats.
The solution also clarified and improved resource management. Resource allocation optimization became more accurate and data-driven, increasing operational efficiency and ultimately reducing costs.
The choice of Computools to carry out the project was justified by several key factors:
Initially, the client analysed the IT services market and identified several potential candidates for the project.
This stage included assessing the companies’ experience, technological expertise, and reputation. The client then compared all candidates, considering their backgrounds in secure systems, technology solutions, and global experience. Computools caught the eye with its broad range of technologies and successful project cases.
We carefully considered every stage of this project, starting with extensive consultations with experts and subject matter experts. Our team made a research to understand the challenges we faced better and developed a comprehensive discovery strategy that was our guide for the project.
We explored device API capabilities, field communication strategies and algorithm development to ensure our solution would work in practice. We developed detailed specifications, focusing on the user interface and user experience to make the system user-friendly and functional.
After completing the discovery phase, we implemented the system. We also provided ongoing maintenance and updates to ensure that the system remained responsive and able to adapt to changing needs.
The main design goal was to visually present information about the project, make it understandable and attractive to the target audience and create a positive visual perception of the company and its product.
Creating detailed user profiles for design guidance.
Structuring the website's layout and navigation.
Drafting visual layouts for web page design.
Crafting the interactive elements of the website.
Java
Java was chosen to build the system's foundation due to its robustness and efficiency. It enables fast data processing and facilitates the development of powerful algorithms essential for handling the system's complex calculations.
GO
GO was utilised for parts of the system where high performance and scalability were crucial. Its efficiency in handling concurrent tasks and its strong support for parallelism made it suitable for components requiring rapid processing and scalability.
Angular
Angular was selected to develop the system's front end to ensure a great user interface and easy navigation. Its comprehensive framework offers features like two-way data binding and modular development, enhancing the user experience.
Flutter
Flutter was employed to develop mobile applications, enabling customers to access the system seamlessly on their mobile devices. Its cross-platform compatibility and fast development cycle ensured efficient mobile app deployment.
C++
C++ was used for specific tasks related to optimisation and performance, particularly for critical system parts. Its low-level capabilities and efficient memory management enhanced the performance of these components.
Docker
Docker was chosen to package applications and their dependencies into containers, simplifying deployment. Its containerisation approach ensures consistency across different environments and streamlines the deployment process.
Kubernetes
Kubernetes managed these containers, providing load balancing and fault tolerance. It facilitates rapid deployment and efficient management of containerised applications across multiple environments, ensuring scalability and reliability.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL was selected as the database solution due to its structured and reliable storage capabilities. Its support for complex queries, data integrity, and scalability made it suitable for storing structured data efficiently.
MongoDB
MongoDB stores unstructured data, providing flexibility and scalability. Its document-oriented data model and distributed architecture allow for the seamless handling of unstructured data, which is essential for certain aspects of the project's requirements.
Scrum was chosen for the project because it provides regular reviews and feedback, enabling the team to improve performance in practice. Scrum also supports the involvement of experts and stakeholders by ensuring their participation in the development. Changes and updates to the project are easier to manage using Scrum, as it provides a flexible, iterative development model.
The Computools team was very rapidely operational despite the complexity of the situation and the need for the team to adapt to our development methodologies. The Computools team could also work very remotely with very good inter-communication with the SBFinance team ensuring good efficiency despite off-shoring.
Computools are experts and act professionally, with lots of guidance on technical recommendations and with easy to understand explanations of what the technical choices mean and why one can be a better website than another. As a result, the development was completed on time and exceeded our expectations. The feedback from our customers was very positive and compared to our previous results we doubled our turnover.
Computools was selected through an RFP process. They were shortlisted and selected from between 5 other suppliers. Computools has worked thoroughly and timely to solve all security issues and launch as agreed. Their expertise is impressive.
