ColiMinder is an IoT solution for water quality monitoring and reflecting probing results in real-time. Overview Vienna Water Monitoring needed radical improvements to their microbiological water quality monitoring system called ColiMinder. Because of the system’s complexity, most of the devices had been previously maintained by the client’s support team. The amount of collected data was so great  that our client had to keep an entire R&D team to be able to manually process those data. And because of that, the bandwidth was somewhat limited and Coliminder couldn't obtain real-time results of data probing. We were hired to create a web application that would turn ColiMinder’s hardware into a market-ready product and help the support team to maintain the system. Challenge When we were starting the project, our development team faced several issues: - big batches of raw data – the system collects data on more than 40 water-specific parameters and each has its own variations. Altogether, it creates a vast data layer that updates every 10 seconds; - complex telemetry system – ColiMinder also has a telemetry system, the information from which has been provided by the middleware in a form of machine codes that only the client's R&D team could understand. Solution Considering the importance of the collected data and the lack of tech capabilities of the existing ColiMinder system, our team defined weak spots and developed the range of significant improvements for smooth platform operation. Results Our development team successfully delivered the ColiMinder web platform, and it was gradually integrated into the existing network. As a result, the massive part of all the processes was automated, and the amount of manual work was so significantly decreased that it made our client consider launching this IoT solution to the market which they successfully did.

Winnerosity is a web charity platform where everyone can make a small target donation and get a chance to win a cheering prize. Overview The client came to Limestone Digital with an idea of creating a charity platform. The main essence was to encourage young people to become more socially responsible and give them a little nudge to support those in need – homeless people and animals, exotic  creatures in zoos, victims of disasters and epidemics, etc. For a small donation, participants can get a chance to win some prizes, e.g., movie tickets, dinner in a restaurant, game console, or a roller coaster ride. So, we assembled the team of developers to convert the idea into a custom-coded solution. Challenge During the development process, the biggest challenge we faced was shifting project requirements. The product vision kept changing so our team had to manage adjustments that also required extra development time and efforts. Despite this, we managed to deliver the project according to the deadlines while having the product quality as the highest priority. Solution When all of the requirements were finally defined, the Limestone Digital team started to design, code, and deploy the Winnerosity web application. The app was being developed for two types of participants: affiliates (companies that collect money and provide prizes), and contributors (individuals who make donations). It was decided to incorporate two main aspects to the platform – the ability to raise money for different purposes and to encourage clients to donate by drawing prizes. Results Despite the assembled team is still working on this project, our client already has a straightforward and powerful tool that performs its functions. And the first couple of thousands of dollars for charity have already been raised via the platform. Read More

Ingenetix is a web-based application for internal logistics management and raw materials & product quality control in the BioMed industry. Overview Our client, Ingenetix, is a team of molecular biology specialists. They produce real-time PCR-based tests and conduct laboratory experiments to design serums and vaccines. They faced the necessity to improve lab procedures, reduce the impact of a  human factor, and shorten the manual workflow. Ingenetix required a system that could manage internal logistics and ensure compliance with the industry standards of quality. This is where the Limestone Digital team came up with the idea of an integrated logistics & quality management system. Challenge When started working on the project, the Limestone Digital team had to deal with several challenging aspects. First of all, the complexity of the all-inclusive logic to provide the accuracy of all formulas, measurements, and calculations. Our client develops vaccines and medicines, so there is no margin for an error. In the second place, the solution had to be very simple and intuitive so Ingenetix employees can use it effectively with minimum training required. Solution After the business and requirements analysis, the assembled team crafted the product concept, worked out the UI/UX of the app, developed design, and coded the top-notch software application, which meets all of the requirements. The most crucial is that our web solution fulfills its primary goals – to automate processes, reduce time consumption, and improve quality control management. Results As a result, Ingenetix got a simple and convenient custom-developed desktop application that helps to reduce time consumption for routine operations and exclude the possibility of mistakes due to the human factor.

2B Direct is a logistic B2B marketplace that connects cargo owners (customers) and freight forwarders (carriers). It’s often labeled as “Uber” for cargo transportations on the web. Overview Initially, A2B Direct had a basic functionality that included only a possibility to book forwarders and give them ratings. However, after some testing, it appears that more sophisticated features are required  for the platform to work effectively. Limestone Digital was responsible for delivering some ports of the extensive functionality of this platform. Challenge A challenge here was to create a system that would be able to communicate effectively with multiple third-party service providers. Considering the amount of data needed to processed, it was particularly important to create a system that would be extremely resilient. Solution To tackle the challenges, the decision was made to focus on three main areas. First of all, the system needed a great variety of algorithms on the backend to create different scenarios and features. Secondly, it’s needed to create different user roles (customer, carrier, and admin) so that different users can have access to different platform features. And finally, for those features to function, the system needed a durable architecture. Read More

mBanc is a non-qualified loan provider that can help provide a loan, basing on alternatives methods, in case someone doesn't qualify for a traditional one. Overview To get a loan from mBanc, an application must be filled out online. Millions of applications need to be processed each month. Because of this, mBanc needed a system that would be able to automate the application  process. Challenge The team first worked to rebuild the landing pages. Then they moved on to the biggest concern: decrease the amount of manual work and increase the mBanc’s capacity to process online applications. Solution Limestone Digital automated the process by designing a questionnaire an applicant must fill out to see the kind of loans they qualify for. Once done the applicant is provided with loan rates calculated by using the information they gave.  Read More

Powered by Toco is an affiliate platform where Toco Warranty's partners can register as affiliates and sell their warranties for auto repair coverage. Overview The concept of a referral program first came to be when Toco Warranty, a provider of vehicle service contracts for auto repair coverage, realized how beneficial that could be for their business. Limestone Digital team quickly accessed the  idea and suggested creating an affiliate platform where the users (affiliates) can take ownership over and be proactive about the selling of warranties. Challenge When faced with the business growth concerns of Toco Warranty, Limestone Digital quickly realized that a system they were about to build had also to be very secure. The very fact that people shared through the platform sensitive information to create their accounts implied a greater level of privacy and security that needed to be provided. Solution The team at Limestone Digital built a software application that is able to accomplish all the required objectives. Although the project is still ongoing, Toco Warranty has already had a chance to highly appreciate all the benefits that Powered by Toco has provided to their business. Read More
