Online Collaboration Platform Development for Remote Teams

For developing this platform, the client had contacted Capital Numbers.

As a leading digital solutions company, Capital Numbers always aims to create meaningful differentiation for all its clients to drive their business forward. With this project, too, we wanted to offer best-in-class solutions that can help the client unlock meaningful outcomes.

For starters, we held a kickoff meeting with the client to understand the project scope.

The key idea behind launching this platform was to transform the way remote teams collaborate. However, the challenge was to create a centralized tool that:

• Reinforces open communication
• Makes workflows fully visible
• Eliminates information silos
• Aligns far-flung teams

In essence, we had to develop a web app that offers a 360° visibility into both strategy and software delivery.

We moved ahead with the project by leveraging our proactive R&D. We conducted in-depth research to develop a solution that streamlines cross-department collaboration and lowers the risks of tasks falling through the cracks.

Our engineers leveraged the following tech stack to develop this tool:

For the frontend, we used Angular because it has an MVC architecture that simplifies developing large-scale applications. Plus, it comes with all JavaScript functionalities that keep code clean and help pages load fast.

To make the web platform visually appealing, we used the Froala editor. Besides, we leveraged mxGraph because this JS library comes with all the essential functionalities to draw the application’s architectural flow.

For the backend, we used NestJS because it’s perfect for writing scalable server-side apps. Plus, it offers enormous flexibility to use other libraries that helps create an adaptive ecosystem.

To ensure data security, we used MySQL. We went ahead with this database solution because it provides round-the-clock uptime even with large datasets. We also used MongoDB because it helps manipulate data without disrupting operations.

We integrated Stripe to make in-app monetary transactions risk-free. Plus, Stripe is PCI-compliant, which helps protect sensitive customer data without storing card details.

Finally, we chose AWS to host this team collaboration platform. Apart from offering unmatched scalability for apps, AWS’s pay-as-you-go pricing model helps pay for only the services used, thereby reducing overspending.

Capital Numbers successfully implemented the above tech stack to create a robust tool that serves as a hub for enterprise-level collaboration. The platform we created can provide companies a visual overview of multiple projects, tasks, metrics, and progress - all within a single space.

Our vetted engineers added custom features to ensure that the app offers end-to-end business agility and functions perfectly well, even if there’s a meteoric growth in the user base.

Our key contributions were in the following areas:
