Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope evolved into building an AI-powered internal copilot, tightly integrated with our systems. 
Key deliverables included: 
1. A secure retrieval-based AI system connected to our internal knowledge base, API documentation, and country-specific compliance rules 
2. Context-aware query handling so team members could ask natural language questions and get precise, structured answers 
3. Role-based access control, ensuring that different teams (support, engineering, compliance) only saw what they were supposed to 
4. Workflow automation triggers for repetitive internal tasks, like responding to common partner queries or guiding onboarding steps 
5. A feedback loop system where responses could be corrected and improved over time, which was critical for trust

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The impact became visible within weeks of internal rollout. Support and onboarding teams stopped digging through scattered documents or Slack threads just to answer routine questions. Instead, they could query the system and get a clear answer tied to actual documentation. 

We saw a noticeable drop in internal back-and-forth messages, especially around country-specific compliance queries. Tasks that previously required escalation to senior team members could now be handled by mid-level staff confidently. 

Another key shift was consistency. Previously, answers could vary depending on who responded. Now, responses were more aligned with our official documentation and current regulations.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They didn’t overpromise timelines, but they consistently delivered what was agreed upon in each sprint. When we had shifting priorities, which happens often in a compliance-driven environment, they adapted quickly without creating friction. 
Communication was direct and useful. Instead of long reports, we got working demos, clear updates, and honest feedback when something needed rethinking.

What was your primary form of communication with Acquaint Softtech Private Limited?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

A lot of vendors can build AI features, but Acquaint focused on whether people would actually use it daily. They paid attention to how answers were structured, how fast responses came back, and whether the output made sense to non-technical team members. 

Also, their handling of data security constraints was solid. They didn’t treat it as an afterthought, it was part of the architecture from the beginning.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Acquaint Softtech Private Limited could have done differently?

No, they were responsive.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Instead of trying to patch the existing system, Acquaint proposed a more forward-looking structure. They designed a headless commerce setup, where the frontend and backend were decoupled.

On the frontend side, they built a Progressive Web App using React. This made a noticeable difference immediately, pages loaded quickly even when browsing heavy product categories like architectural lighting collections.

On the backend, they developed a Node-based API layer that handled:

Product catalog management with flexible attributes (important for lighting specs).
Campaign logic (bundles, discounts, promotional rules).
Integration with our ERP and inventory systems.
Marketplace synchronization.

They also introduced structured workflows for product updates, which meant our internal team could manage listings without worrying about breaking something.

Key deliverables included:

A fully functional PWA storefront.
Centralized product and inventory API.
Campaign management system.
Integration layer for ERP, shipping, and marketplaces.
Migration plan that preserved existing URLs and SEO.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

One of the most noticeable changes came from our internal team before even customers mentioned it. Product pages that used to take time to load became instant, especially on mobile devices.

During one of our seasonal promotions, we typically had issues with stock mismatches between online and in-store inventory. This time, the system held up. Orders were processed smoothly without the usual manual corrections afterward.

Customer behavior also shifted, users were browsing more categories in a single session, which wasn’t common before. That told us the experience had become more intuitive.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

What stood out was how they handled communication during active development.

We had weekly check-ins, but more importantly, they were responsive in between. There were moments when our marketing team needed last-minute adjustments before a campaign launch, those requests were handled quickly without turning into delays.

They delivered major milestones when expected, but what I appreciated more was their flexibility. They didn’t treat the plan as something rigid, they adapted when our priorities shifted.

What was your primary form of communication with Acquaint Softtech Private Limited?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

First, they understood that e-commerce is not just technical, it’s operational. They didn’t just build features; they considered how our internal team would actually use them day-to-day.

Second, during active sales periods, they monitored how the system behaved. It wasn’t a build and disappear situation. They stayed involved to ensure stability when it mattered most.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Acquaint Softtech Private Limited could have done differently?

If I had to point out something, it would be the initial discovery phase.

They were thorough, but at times we had to revisit certain business rules around product categorization and campaign logic after development had started.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Acquaint approached the project by first mapping out how our workflows operated in reality—not how they were documented, but how people actually used them.

They then designed a custom platform using the MERN stack, focusing on flexibility and real-time interaction.

The system they built included:

1. A visual workflow builder that allowed us to define stages, assign responsibilities, and configure approval paths
2. Role-based access controls, ensuring that different users only interacted with relevant parts of a workflow
3. Real-time notifications powered by WebSockets, so users were immediately informed when actions were required
4. Activity logs that tracked every action within a workflow, giving full visibility into progress and decision history
5. A configurable admin panel where we could adjust workflows without needing developer involvement

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The impact was felt almost immediately after rollout.

Approval cycles that previously stretched across multiple days became significantly shorter because tasks no longer got lost in email threads. Team members received instant notifications when their input was needed, which reduced idle time between stages.

We also noticed a reduction in process errors. Before the system, it wasn’t uncommon for steps to be skipped or duplicated because responsibilities weren’t always clear. With structured workflows in place, those issues became far less frequent.

Another important improvement was visibility. Project managers could now track progress across multiple workflows without needing to check in with each team individually.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management was one of the strongest aspects of the engagement.

Our requirements evolved frequently as we started seeing early versions of the platform and realized new possibilities. Instead of pushing back, Acquaint adapted quickly and incorporated feedback into subsequent iterations.

They worked in short development cycles, allowing us to test features early and refine them before moving forward. Even with frequent changes, they maintained consistent delivery timelines.

Communication was clear and direct. We always knew what was being worked on and what to expect next.

What was your primary form of communication with Acquaint Softtech Private Limited?

• Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their ability to stay flexible without losing structure stood out. Many development teams struggle when requirements change frequently, but Acquaint handled it in a way that felt controlled rather than chaotic. They kept the core system stable while still allowing us to experiment and refine workflows.

Another impressive aspect was how well they understood real operational challenges. They didn’t just build features, they built solutions that matched how teams actually behave in a working environment.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Acquaint Softtech Private Limited could have done differently?

If anything, we would have appreciated more predefined templates for common workflows during the early stages. This would have helped teams onboard faster instead of building everything from scratch.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Acquaint Softtech approached the project as a complete AI-powered analytics overhaul. They first assessed the various data sources we had, from website traffic logs and CRM systems to campaign performance metrics, and designed a modular pipeline to clean, preprocess, and standardize this data.

Key deliverables included:

• Automated ETL pipelines that consolidated data from multiple platforms into a central database.
• Machine learning models predicting user engagement trends, campaign effectiveness, and potential client churn.
• Dynamic dashboards that allowed our teams to explore insights interactively without relying on technical expertise.
• Scheduled reporting tools that delivered automated summaries to leadership, highlighting anomalies and trends.

They worked in close collaboration with our in-house analysts, ensuring the models and dashboards were intuitive and actionable.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The outcomes were tangible across multiple areas of our operations:

• Time savings: Weekly reporting tasks that previously took our analysts several days were reduced to a few hours, freeing them to focus on strategy.
• Predictive insights: Campaign managers could now anticipate drops in engagement or potential churn, allowing proactive interventions.
• Data democratization: Leadership could access meaningful insights directly through dashboards, without waiting for manual summaries.

A particularly memorable moment was when our team spotted a drop in engagement on a high-profile campaign. The AI models flagged the pattern hours before we would have noticed it manually, allowing us to tweak messaging in real time.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Acquaint Softtech followed agile principles, attending sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and review meetings with our team. They adapted quickly when our priorities shifted, such as needing new predictive metrics for a specific client campaign.

Deliverables were consistently on schedule, and the team was responsive—any clarification or change request was addressed within a day, demonstrating high flexibility and commitment.

What was your primary form of communication with Acquaint Softtech Private Limited?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What stood out was their ability to translate complex AI and ML concepts into practical business tools. Our non-technical marketing managers could understand trends, test scenarios, and make informed decisions without needing to dive into code.

Their iterative approach, building prototypes, gathering feedback, and refining models, ensured that the final system was highly usable, not just technically impressive.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Acquaint Softtech Private Limited could have done differently?

If there was one minor suggestion, it would be to provide a short, structured onboarding session at the start for our broader team, so everyone could understand the AI models and dashboards from day one. Once the team was familiar, adoption was smooth, but an earlier session could have accelerated initial usage.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The engagement included two parallel workstreams: embedded engineering support through staff augmentation and a data-driven fraud detection initiative built using Python.

Engineering Support and Web Development

Acquaint Softtech provided developers who integrated directly into our internal product squads. These engineers contributed to several ongoing initiatives across the platform.

Their work included:

• Enhancing the web interface used for managing investment portfolios
• Optimizing performance for transaction history and account dashboards
• Supporting secure API integrations between backend financial systems and the web platform
• Improving responsiveness and reliability of the platform during periods of increased trading activity
• Assisting with refactoring certain legacy components to improve maintainability

The developers worked within our sprint cycles, participated in stand-ups and code reviews, and collaborated closely with our internal architects and QA teams.

Fraud Detection and Risk Intelligence (Python-Based)

In parallel, Acquaint helped develop a more advanced transaction monitoring layer that could identify suspicious behavior patterns.

Key deliverables included:

• A Python-based risk scoring engine capable of analyzing transaction behavior in near real time
• Statistical models designed to detect unusual activity patterns across user accounts
• Behavioral analysis based on device usage, transaction timing, and trading activity
• Internal dashboards allowing risk analysts to investigate flagged transactions more efficiently
• Automated pipelines for retraining models as new data became available

The goal was to enhance our existing monitoring framework with predictive intelligence while maintaining system performance and regulatory compliance.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Several positive outcomes emerged after the implementation.

On the development side, our engineering teams were able to deliver new platform features more consistently. The additional developers helped reduce backlog pressure and allowed internal engineers to focus on strategic components of the platform.

From a product perspective, improvements to the web interface made portfolio management more responsive and easier for users to navigate. Internal support teams also reported fewer tickets related to transaction visibility issues.

The fraud detection improvements also delivered meaningful operational benefits. Compliance analysts began receiving alerts that contained richer behavioral context, making investigations faster and more focused.

In particular, the adaptive risk scoring system helped reduce unnecessary transaction blocks while still highlighting suspicious activity patterns.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The collaboration was well structured and aligned with our agile development practices. Acquaint’s engineers adapted quickly to our workflows and integrated smoothly into our existing teams.

Deliverables were completed according to sprint schedules, and their team maintained open communication whenever priorities shifted. In a fast-moving fintech environment, requirements can evolve quickly, and their developers handled those adjustments professionally.

The fraud analytics project also included structured checkpoints where our risk and compliance teams reviewed model outputs before deployment.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Acquaint Softtech served as an offshoring partner of our core team of engineers. They are an Official Laravel Partner, which is why they used the advantages of the framework to create the logic of our backend anew.

The Key Deliverables were:

• Asynchronous Queue System: They introduced the step of processing our orders as a Laravel-based queue system instead of a wait-to-complete model. This enabled the system to receive the order of the customer in real time and the heavy lifting done in the background.
• Redis Integration: They introduced a high-performance Redis caching layer that held product metadata and inventory particularly so that the main database was not being accessed by thousands of simultaneous users.
• Query Optimization / Database Refactoring: They have profiled all our current SQL queries and re-written them to be faster, especially our complex filtering system (size, brand and discount depth).
• Atomic Locking Mechanisms: To address our duplicate order issue, they came up with a bespoke solution based on atomic locks to give a user the impression of being able to three times during a lag spike and only one transaction would be ever made.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The physical outcome was the most evident, and this was the stability of the site at the time of high traffic. In the past, whenever a big brand was unveiled the checkout process would slow down or stop intermittently. Following the implementation, the spinning wheel during check out disappeared.

When we were on promotion periods, the number of orders that were processed successfully per minute increased by very large margins. Moreover, our customer services on the issue of Duplicate Charges or Order Not Found dropped to almost zero. The system now manages the fast selling sales in a composed and stable pace.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Acquaint Softtech used a very strict Agile approach. They were very receptive to our Slack channels and very well adapted within our Jira workflows.

Timelines: They met all the key milestones, especially the most important deadline of our mid-year End of Season event.

Responsiveness: their key feature was the proactive communication. In case they discovered a bug on a legacy feature they were working on they did not simply ignore it, they marked it and suggested a fix and usually had a patch ready before it could affect our sprint.

What was your primary form of communication with Acquaint Softtech Private Limited?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their superpower is that they have an in-depth understanding of Laravel. A variety of agencies employ a plug-in or quick-fix, but Acquaint Softtech knows the framework on a nano level. They could make the backend logic to suit our needs and constraints, such as the need to retain our current payment provider, without the typical it-is-not-possible reasons. They are real problem solvers and they know the business cost of technical debt.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Acquaint Softtech Private Limited could have done differently?

No
