Qoob.dev

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder of an IT services company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Qoob.dev?

We needed software development support.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Qoob.dev provides us with custom software development support. We started the engagement by providing them with documentation of the system they will be supporting, which includes information on how it’s set up, its database structure, and the naming convention inside the database, so they know which objects to query. The solution is a data platform that helps our client monitor their business performance better and provide them with analytical solutions using the data in the system. 

The project was divided into multiple phases: data acquisition, data processing, and then the preparation of data for visualization and consumption. Qoob.dev has helped us build the interface and program how the data is processed internally in order to provide a meaningful outcome in the dashboard analytics for the client. The technologies we use are AWS, Python, and MySQL.
