Web Design & Development for Geothermal Energy Company

For what projects/services did your company hire Buildable Custom Software, and what were your goals?

Our online real-time data broadcasting was built in the .net framework and broadcast our data using microsoft silverlight which only operated on the internet explorer browser. We needed to update our online platform to broadcast across all browsers and on all devices.

We hired Buildable to build, design, and maintain our new web platform for our data stream. Our goals were to go live with the first version of our site after 3 months and then make updates and add functionality to it in the following couple months.

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Buildable had a strong reputation and was located in close geographic proximity our web design project manager. We figured this would allow for better communication and ultimately less hiccups in the process.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We had a few meetings to discuss the scope of work that we were requesting. From there, Buildable designed a comprehensive outline of their sprints and what could be expected from them.

Since Buildable was tasked with building a site that tied into our onsite data acquisition streams, the first step in the project was diving into our code and understanding how to design the site to fetch/recieve the JSON packets.

Secondly, they had to figure out how to design the real-time charting of our data to stream vertically (since this is an industry standard) rather than horizontally which is the more common type of charting.

Thirdly, Buildable had to develop a navigation menu that created different users and user groups that each had unique roles and permissions to access the data site. Each with their own specific login and password. Sprint 4 dealt with building out the web interface and the general layout of our data site.

It also dealt with the admin set up which allowed us as admins to create and manage new drilling wells and clients as needed. They also created a platform for us to upload PDF, word, and excel reports to be viewed online as needed.

Finally once these were all achieved, we underwent a testing period on the QA site before officially going live with our live streaming data on our website.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked with 5 members of the Buildable staff. A senior software engineer, two junior developers, a frontend designer, and a business development manager.
