Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
Scope of Work
CodingCops was contracted to lead the complete redevelopment of Relay, an enterprise SaaS application purpose-built for automotive dealerships. The scope included full-stack software engineering, UX/UI design, mobile and web development, API integration, data architecture, and system deployment. The project required rebuilding the existing codebase into a scalable, secure, and production-ready platform capable of handling dealership-level transaction data, multi-user workflows, and real-time communication between departments.
Project Objectives
- Redevelop the Relay application from the ground up with modern architecture and clean, maintainable code.
- Create a unified system for both web and mobile (iOS/Android) users.
- Integrate multiple third-party systems (CDK/Fortellis, RouteOne, Reynolds & Reynolds, Persona ID Verification, AWS).
- Deliver a seamless and intuitive UX that supports multi-department dealership operations (Sales, Finance, Accounting, Management).
- Ensure compliance with automotive data security standards and platform certifications.
Key Deliverables
Full Application Rebuild:
- Re-engineered the entire backend using scalable architecture to support dealership operations and large data sets.
- Implemented database schema, user authentication, and secure role-based access controls.
- Built all major modules: Deal Process Management, Finance Daily Work Plan, Task Assignment, Collaboration and Messaging, Production Analytics, and Verification Systems.
Web Application Development:
- Developed a responsive, cloud-based web platform hosted on AWS.
- Integrated dashboards, task management, audit tracking, and analytics features.
- Enabled real-time deal updates, notifications, and cross-department communication.
Mobile Development:
- Built native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) applications.
- Achieved parity with the web platform for functionality and performance.
- Prepared both apps for deployment to Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
UX/UI Design:
- Created a clean, intuitive user experience optimized for dealership workflows.
- Designed interfaces for Sales, Finance, Accounting, and Executive users.
- Produced consistent, user-friendly layouts for both mobile and web versions.
System Integrations:
- Established real-time API integrations with DMS and Credit Portals (CDK/Fortellis, RouteOne, Reynolds).
- Integrated AWS hosting and security protocols.
- Connected third-party systems for ID and customer verification, document tracking, and compliance modules.
Testing & Quality Assurance:
- Conducted multi-stage internal testing cycles and code reviews.
- Implemented pre-beta validation, feature testing, and error resolution.
- Delivered a stable version ready for beta dealership deployment.
Infrastructure & Deployment:
- Configured AWS infrastructure for scalability, security, and data redundancy.
- Managed environment setup (development, staging, and production).
- Ensured continuous deployment and version control for future module expansions.
Outcome
The result is a fully functional, enterprise-grade platform that connects every stage of the dealership’s deal process — from sales to funding — with real-time visibility and accountability. The system is ready for beta rollout and commercial launch, with mobile and web platforms synchronized under a single cloud infrastructure.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Measurable Outcomes Demonstrating Process and Success
The project achieved multiple measurable milestones that validated both the technical and operational success of the development effort:
- Full Product Redevelopment: The system was completely rebuilt into a stable, production-ready architecture, improving load times by over 60% and ensuring reliability across platforms.
- Cross-Platform Synchronization: Web and mobile (iOS/Android) applications now share real-time data, ensuring alignment between dealership departments.
- System Certification: Achieved CDK/Fortellis certification and pre-certification for RouteOne, enabling live beta deployment.
- Operational Efficiency: Early testing indicates a 35–40% reduction in process completion times due to improved workflow automation and interface design.
- Scalability and Stability: Successfully supported 200+ concurrent users during stress testing with no performance loss.
- Security and Compliance: AWS infrastructure, encryption, and access control protocols implemented to meet DMS and credit portal standards.
Equally significant was the process improvement achieved through disciplined collaboration. The CodingCops team maintained constant communication via Slack, Trello, and scheduled standups — initially daily, later reduced to two per week as the project matured. This approach created a shared understanding of project goals, allowed issues to be resolved quickly, and ensured that development remained on schedule and on budget. Their ability to anticipate needs and adjust priorities in real time directly contributed to the project’s overall success.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Project Management and Responsiveness
CodingCops demonstrated excellent project management and accountability throughout the development of Relay. The project was structured around defined sprints, which allowed us to assign tasks, track progress, and hold both teams — theirs and ours — accountable to deliverables and timelines. Each sprint included clear objectives, measurable outcomes, and review checkpoints to ensure alignment and maintain momentum.
Deliverables were consistently provided on or ahead of schedule, even as requirements evolved. When technical challenges or new priorities surfaced, the team responded quickly and with multiple solutions, clearly explaining the impact of each option so informed decisions could be made without delay. Their organized sprint approach and transparent communication made it easy to track status, manage dependencies, and maintain focus.
CodingCops’ responsiveness has been exceptional. Communication through Slack, Trello, and scheduled standupsensured real-time collaboration and quick resolution of any issues. Adjustments were made seamlessly as new modules, integrations, or refinements were introduced, demonstrating a high level of adaptability and shared commitment to the project’s success.
Their disciplined yet flexible project management style has been a key factor in keeping the development on track, maintaining code quality, and achieving every milestone leading into beta deployment.

This level of honesty and accountability is rare in software development and speaks to the strength of their leadership and company culture. It created a relationship built on trust, mutual respect, and confidence that every task — large or small — would be handled with professionalism and follow-through.
Every deliverable met or exceeded expectations in functionality, design, and stability. The team’s attention to detail and commitment to clean, scalable code was evident throughout the project. The structured sprint process and proactive communication ensured that progress was steady and predictable, with no surprises or missed deadlines.

Areas for Improvement
At this stage, I honestly cannot identify any significant areas for improvement. The CodingCops team has been consistently professional, transparent, and dependable throughout the entire project.
