National Union of Road Hauliers from Romania
UNTRR is an organisation – professional and employers, non-governmental, independent, apolitical – founded in 1990 on democratic principles, promoting and defending the interests of road transport domestically and internationally.
Challenge
Old platform with legacy code and a lot of new features required by their customers.
The old platform was having performance, design and usability issues that needed to be improved and also a significant backlog with new features that needed to be developed.
Being written during many years and by a series of different developers, on a deprecated framework, the volume of time and effort needed to develop new features was significantly large.
Also, being a service used by hauliers always on the road, there was a need for a mobile application.
Last, but not least, the company had two different services on two different domains, that needed to be merged under one robust application.
UNTRR was looking for a long term collaboration with a software company to outsource development effort to add new features.
Solution
Create a new and modern version of the platform including existing services and adding new features for their customers.
Built 100% on Vue JS framework and with a responsive design, the frontend application offers customers a friendly and easy to use interface to issue and pay Road Tax and Toll Tax.
This is a secured zone from where the team behind the platform can see and manage the orders, customers and also view different complex reports about product performance.
Because many of the end customers are most likely on the road, an application for Android and iOS was a must. So we created an app with the same features available on the web version, but in this way the customer is always at a tap distance to pay the road tax.
Having many partners who resell this service, we had to implement and document a modern REST API to serve different applications that use the platform services.
Some of the features built on this application are:
You just select your vehicle, choose the tax type and pay. Or simply put Order -> Pay -> Drive.
Find out if you have a valid RO-vignette and avoid the fines.
Create an account, save all your vehicle data, and buy road and bridge fees, all in one place.
Once you paid the fee you will instantly be notified both on SMS and email.
Quick and safe purchase by Credit Card or Payment Order. You can also save your cards for future fast payments.
For vignettes valid for more than 30 days, the platform alerts you before they expire.
How we worked
Offered consultancy regarding technical and architectural solution. Implement the project with an internal team of developers, in an Agile way.
Our role in this project was in the first place to offer consultancy and a technical solution to solve the initial challenges. After setting up the architecture and plan, we created a team dedicated to this project in order to deliver a complete solution.
The development team was made of backend developer (PHP, Laravel), 1 frontend developer (Vue JS and Javascript), a QA engineer, the Product Owner and the Scrum Master. In the first stage of the development process, a UI/ UX designer drew all the app screens in collaboration with the Product Owner.
We worked using the Agile methodology, with regular status meetings of the whole team and basic ceremonies for Sprint Planning and Sprint Review. We used Slack for internal communication and Jira as the task and backlog management tool.
Being a large and alive project we offer support as needed.
