Teleton Uruguay was established in order to provide a pediatric rehabilitation service available to everyone in the country. Their technical objective is the comprehensive rehabilitation of children and young people (up to 18 years) with a disability of neuro-musculoskeletal origin, in order to favor their family, school, work, and social inclusion.

Because of the pandemic, the motto of this year's event "Dar lo mejor de nosotros" urged people to help and keep in touch even from a distance. For this, they wanted to give the community the option to join and share their photos, forming hearts from a distance. The main problem was the time and manual labor of joining those images.

The proposal consisted of a system that would allow a user to join their photo with another taken from the community. This option would offer a simple edition made by the user himself, who could see the result in real-time, in addition to being able to share it on social networks.

Despite the short time available, we were able to create the system on time. This avoided manual editing of hundreds of images, allowing Teleton volunteers to dedicate their time to other tasks on the most anticipated day of the year.
In total, we have a repository of images and information of hundreds of users who used the system for a few hours. After the event, it stopped being used, but the intention is to renew it next year to use it for other purposes.

The work was done for an American IT, based in Philadelphia. They are dedicated to helping non-profit organizations and it is something that motivated us to make contact.
The project seeks to encourage people to perform acts of goodwill, called "acts of peace" The goal is to achieve "1 billion acts". The website has quotes from people like the Dalai Lama, Greta Thunberg, and some Nobel laureates.

The team was distributed among different countries (US, Mexico, Uruguay, Hungary) and little connected. There was only one formal meeting a week, and there were no dailies. With all this, the incorporation of new people took a lot of time and effort due to the lack of intense communication.
The inequality in the implementation of the code carried out by different freelancers was notorious, which caused difficulties when advancing the system's functionalities.

We tried from the beginning to manage a more fluid communication with the team, without distorting too much the current work dynamics. In addition to being as autonomous as possible, also relying on Frasal's internal team, to use our own knowledge and avoid obstructing the daily communication of the project.

The integration within the team was achieved in a few weeks, which allowed a good adaptation to work with a very slight learning curve.
A process of standardization of the source code was successfully started, improving the quality of the solution together.

Tiarg is a technology company with more than twenty years of experience in the technology market. It currently has facilities in Argentina, the United States, Spain, and Brazil.

One of their products had a major launch planned in a short time involving a large number of users.
It was expected that with this event, sponsored by the Government of Buenos Aires, the use of the application would take off from normal values.
The biggest challenge involved the short learning time, the continuation of a legacy solution, and the large volumes of data.

The most important thing was the immediate incorporation of our team into the project.
Strong communication was maintained from the beginning, intensifying learning.
We also worked together with the rest of Frasal to provide external support to the team, so that the obstacles were less and easier to solve.

All Gifted is an online platform founded in Delaware in 2014 which through the use of technology, provides affordable and transparent literacy and numeracy programs to students to prepare them for tertiary education or career, whatever their socio-economic background, will reach individualized education.

The main challenge on this project was not only the technical aspects of the migration but the communication challenge which arises from the time difference (Singapore is 11 hours ahead of Montevideo).

Our proposal was to promote an environment of transparency in the state of the project, reporting positive progress with the same haste as tasks blocked by decisions that the client should take. As the biggest challenge identified was communication, the focus was there.

Emerita Legal is a platform that allows the promotion of lawyers and law firms according to an AI ranking based on the judicial decisions that are updated on the website.

Although many of the freelancers may have the undoubted experience, their problem lies in the lack of homogeneity in the results, in the lack of metrics, future visibility and scalability due to not having a work team. In addition, the lack of support service after delivering the projects carried out is a problem that falls directly on the quality of the product and on the internal work of the company.

Our proposal was from the beginning to offer a team with the knowledge and skills to improve this situation. A team was built that, in addition to implementing the developments, helped in the organization of the projects. Our work is done through agile methodologies always aimed to achieve valuable results in a short time and to have early customer feedback, which required more than anything a partner to accompany them in learning to be a startup.

Agileworks was dedicated for a long time to offer software services to different travel agencies in Uruguay. These services included hosting their websites, updating their promotions, maintaining travel packages, and integrating with other systems.

In the beginning, when it had a couple of agencies, there was no problem in keeping a few separate websites.
But thinking about increasing the number of clients, we had to think of a solution that would allow it to manage the information of each web agency separately while maintaining a single website.

A multitenant system was implemented where the web agency could be distinguished according to the URL of the website. That tenant allowed to establish the styles so that they were different for each agency.
Here, part of the Frasal team worked as members of Agileworks, using the tenant to distinguish the data to be displayed and the packages offered.

WO is a product that aims to make travel planning easier for end-users. It also offers easy ways to share information and travel with other users. 

One functionality of WO is to offer a summary of the existing POIs comments and provide them to the user in a simple and direct way as a real data, just as if he had summarized it himself.

For that, an NLP pipeline was created where the information from the reviews would pass, extracting entities and the polarity of each comment

Betrained was a platform designed to teach courses to company employees. The companies that bought the product created the courses and their multimedia content through Raccoon and then provided the dictation to the different employees according to their roles.

Among the functionalities that were most used were the reports of all the information collected during the courses. This could be of approval percentages, correct answers, permanence in each course, etc. In addition, aggrupations were requested according to different criteria in each report. The challenge lay in the volume of data, which made it impossible to query in real-time.

Working within Raccoon, part of the Frasal team designed an architecture that would allow for these queries.

It was about processing the information from a mirror database of the transactional (because the processing was also expensive), transforming it into a particular model for each report. This processing was carried out periodically, keeping the information in the reports with just a few hours oldBetrained was a platform designed to teach courses to company employees.

Part of our team has been working for them for several years, integrated within the Uruit team. As part of the provided solution, the team work on their website, managing all back-end functionalities and other web functionalities for things like sales. That's done always maintaining agile methodologies, either from the evolutionary channel or from the support. Coordination with their digital channel coordinator is also carried out, maintaining fluid and regular communication to achieve the desired objectives
