tracdelight affiliate network platform
Quick description:
tracdelight GmbH is the largest network and full-service provider for authentic micro and macro influencer marketing in Germany. tracdelight connects publishers (bloggers, influencers, etc.) with fashion, beauty, home, food, and sports brands and gives them the opportunity to earn money by sharing their products on social media and blog posts.
Details about the project:
In cooperation with the tracdelight team, Infoleven did the full revamp and transfer of the old system onto a new, freshly built platform. We’ve rebuilt the publisher platform, working on both the front-end and back-end parts of the project. The business logic of the system was kept untouched and in addition, we implemented an improved user interface.
We developed an automation tool, that helps publishers create a widget, which is filled automatically with a defined set of products. The users can choose between different layouts and product sets. All available products can be controlled by a set of filters (category, price, brand, etc.). Some of the filters feature an include/exclude switch.
One of the greatest advantages of the application is the precise statistics the system extracts with detailed information about the bloggers’ website visits and clicks. This data helps publishers improve their advertisement strategy. Infoleven took part in the adjustment and writing of the statistics back-end logic and entirely created the front-end part.
Another interesting feature we created is the tracking link generator extension, which can be used on Google Chrome.
Our partners at tracdelight were particularly happy with the ability of the team to apply the agile methodology and cooperate with a product owner from the client’s side. Our team successfully collaborated within a larger project team distributed in different locations.
Process flow management system
Quick description:
Our client is a leading auto repair company which repairs disaster damaged cars. They work in cooperation with vehicle manufacturers, insurance companies and dealer associations. The goal of the project is to optimize the process flow management with the help of a software tool which works both on web and tablet.
Details about the project:
For this project we covered the full-cycle of software product development - from concept and design creation, technical architecture and implementation, to quality assurance and final delivery.
The software product we developed is responsible for the full process flow management. The high-performance platform enables for organization and coordination of different participants in the process. For a short period of time the mechanics can process a large amount of damaged vehicles, which need to be repaired. The system also allows to organize and manage part deliveries from different suppliers. This provides higher productivity, flowless functioning of the overall working process and improved work performance.
Dedicated team for a telecom partner
Quick description:
We implement new software and integrate existing systems for one of Malta's largest telecoms, operating in the field of mobile telephone networks, fixed lines, internet, Wi-Fi, and TV.
Details about the project:
Here are some of the solutions we’ve provided:
- 360-degree view of customers
This is a system of client profiles, which records detailed customer information from different channels and accounts. Key data relates to demographics, financial transactions, environment (profession, education, income and even merchant records such as retail purchases and travel expenses), behavior (ex. digital footprints that the customer leaves when visiting the company website, using the mobile app or interacting in the social network) and social (customer ‘Likes’, retweets and comments).
The 360° view provides the user with customer insights and analysis, giving the opportunity to improve client segmentation and predict client buying behavior. Collected data also helps to deliver adequate support services, personalized sales proposals, and marketing messages.
- System for pre-paid cards
Our team created two web services ValidateTopup and ActionTopup for processing pre-paid cards. The customer presents the verification number code from the pre-paid card, which has to be confirmed. ValidateTopup validates the number, the cash provided by the customer and informs if the mobile prepaid top-up process should proceed. All top-up attempts are first authorized through this web service method before any action is performed. ActionTopup is performing the actual top-up, following the authorization via ValidateTopup.
- Remote diagnostics of modems
Melita is providing Internet broadband to their customers, which is delivered via modems and routers, the property of the telecom. Therefore, the teams handling and maintaining the devices had to find a solution to remote check and target potential modems/routers that needed some adjustment or fixing. The system we assisted them to build is collecting data from the routers/modems and then is returning different analytics to the technicians.
Calvendo web-platform
Quick description:
Our client is a big publishing house that allows creative people to provide their own photographs, graphic art and designs for selling through their web-platform. The designs can be printed on different products: calendars, organizers, posters, puzzles and poster books (Flipart). These print-on-demand products are ordered through book stores and distribution partners in and outside of Germany and UK.
Details about the project:
The Calvendo platform offers various services and connects printing houses and designers. Our team renewed the user interface (front-end) and transferred the whole system onto a new basis.
They also developed a product gallery (Showroom page) where the users can browse through the products and filter them by different specifications (i.e. format, theme) via dynamic filter or tag cloud. Another feature is the product preview page with a light box where they can see more details and previews of the selected product and buy it.

Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the CEO of City Stories - an interactive native IOS/Android app (GO Game) about completing quests in real-life environments
For what projects/services did your company hire Infoleven?
We worked together with Infoleven from the beginning of the project. CityStories is a new generation urban quest that combines a high-quality game scenario, love for the most interesting corners of the city and modern technology. The game consists of series of puzzles, which you have to solve to continue to the next level
What were your goals for this project?
The app is created with a focus and attention to the users, who will play the quests. So, the most important thing for our product is to react fast to user’s feedback and change the app accordingly. Infoleven’s designers and programmers managed to achieve that and gave useful ideas to improve the app. As technologies we used Java for the API and the backend and Native Android & iOS (Swift 4.1) for the mobile app development
How did you select this vendor?
The vendor was recommended to me by mutual partners. After our initial conversations the team showed to be very professional
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
The project has four parts – an Android App, iOS App, API and Admin panel. We needed the users to be able to register and log-in in the app to discover and buy quests. The quest has geolocation-based puzzles with Google maps implementation, which Infoleven team did for us. Another interesting feature is the Augmented Reality. It works in two directions: - As a separate task part of the quests – you scan the searched object (described in the specific quest) with your phone. It is registered, recognized and verified so that you can continue to the following task - AR button with a free clue – for some tasks you may receive free hints via AR functionality. You are directed to a specific location or to a defined object. When you scan the object with your phone it is replaced in real time by the promised clue (picture, text etc.) for the task
What was the team composition?
We used a dedicated team, consisting of 1 Android/iOS developer, 1 Web Front-end developer; 1 Backend Developer, 1 UI/UX Designer, 1 QA, 1 Technical Project Manager
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
The programmers and designers of Infoleven are always very reactive to our changes. This is really important for us, because the success of the app depends on how fast we can react to the feedback we receive from our users
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
We worked with a dedicated team of developers and designers for this project. We had a Technical Project Manager who was responsible for the task distribution to the team and the time frame. We were given the chance to communicate directly with the tech guys when needed. This made the communication much faster and we could get their feedback for the game features
What did you find most impressive about this company?
For us it is how adaptive they are to implement the needed changes from user feedback. Also, that they are very dedicated to the project - they are not only doing the technical feature development, but they give us useful ideas and a different point of view
Are there any areas for improvement?
There is no project, that goes smoothly from start to finish. Usually there are complications throughout the development, but the most important thing is to communicate the issues directly and suggest solutions. Infoleven manages to do that really well

UDG United Digital Group is a full service agency for digital marketing. We develop digitisation strategies for smart brands, implement unique brand experiences and lead them to a measurable success. UDG United Digital Group is developing a fully integrated, digital customer experience for international corporations as well as for leading medium-sized companies. In the company I was Managing Partner & CIO.
For what projects/services did your company hire Infoleven?
We worked with Infoleven for multiple projects (both front- end and back-end). We had two teams working for us – one was focused on Java Backend and the other on TYPO3, CMS and Frontend technologies.
What were your goals for this project?
We needed additional dedicated development teams , as we didn’t have enough capacity to develop on time by ourselves or where more and specific knowledge was required. Infoleven was recommended to us by one of our partners. The test project was successful and we continued our collaboration for upcoming projects.
How did you select this vendor?
Infoleven was recommend to us by a businesspartner of us. We started with several test projects and continued into an more intense relationship.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
Both teams were doing a good job. The Java team was working on a long-term development of a backend purchasing system and was working together with our backend team. The TYPO3 CMS Team worked with us on different projects. They developed some custom themes and added specific functionalities we required (e.g. locator feature for the contacts page).
Moreover, they helped us develop modern and sophisticated corporate social network software which includes features like user profiles, groups, messaging, notifications, etc. In the backend, Infoleven developed a CV and document management server app, that finds and extracts predefined e-mail attached files and sends them to an external smart system, where they are processed. They used PHP and dependency manager, based on pure back-end technologies as well as Ubuntu.
What was the team composition?
Java Team – 1 Technical Lead, 2 Java Developers, 1 Account Manager TYPO3 CMS Team – 1 Technical lead, 2 Front-end developers; 1 Full-stack developer, 1 Account Manager
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
Our cooperation with Infoleven was very helpful in terms of additional software development capacity we needed. For example, the TYPO3 CMS dedicated team upgraded multiple Typo3 systems for our partners to a higher version of Typo3. Some of these projects would be delayed or declined if it wasn’t the additional developer’s team provided from Infoleven. We will happily work with them again or recommend them to our partners.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
We used a dedicated team model; we communicate mainly with our Account manager and the Tech Lead for the more complex issues and they distributed the tasks to the team.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
They are flexible and adapt quickly to new technologies and different projects. Working on multiple projects for us at a time is not a problem. We had frequent iterations and strong communication, that’s why they delivered on time and in high quality.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Any issues we might have had were discussed promptly. The Infoleven team was always very responsive and reacted immediately to resolve the challenges.

How did you select this vendor?
Infoleven was recommended to us from common contacts. We followed up with our own due diligence, compared with other suppliers, reviewed previous projects and contacted them to further discuss our needs.

We have some more work on the app, but we are hoping to achieve better UX and therefore more users. Early feedback from beta testers is very positive.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
We worked using a flexible, iterative process based on sprints. Infoleven’s developers integrated very well into our existing development team. The well-structured communication with open and direct dialogue, regular but focused meetings helped us avoid bottlenecks and ensure the relevant stakeholders were kept informed while not losing sight of the goal.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Infoleven are fully engaged on our journey. We were looking for a partner that could understand and work with us, to be an extension of our in-house team rather than simply a transactional service provider.
The team plays a huge part in the overall success of the app and, therefore, the overall product. We’ve developed good teamwork together with very open and transparent communication.
Are there any areas for improvement?
The team have a common approach to our own which we like and value. The dialogue is open, direct and respected by each party. Given this, there are no specific improvements I can add.

We hired Infoleven, to help us develop further the internal ERP system we are using. With their assistance, we managed to introduce a few new modules, which our team uses to get information across faster and generally improves the workflow.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
Infoleven helped us build our internal ERP system. By implementing a few new modules and optimizing existing ones – training module, resource planning, accounting, HR, etc, we improved our workflow and information distribution. We use the new modules to track employees schedule and vacancy days, to analyze their workload. In the project planning we benefit most of the Gantt Charts Infoleven developed.
What was the team composition?
A Technical Project Manager and a Full Stack Developer
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
Most noticeably, the project planing module with Gantt Charts, which help the team manage better the dozens of internal projects and assist them make progress on deprioritized ones, that would otherwise fall behind.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
Initially, we used a simple Time and Material process with a Kanban board. Currently, we are transferring to a Sprint based workflow, given we have a full-time developer on board.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Infoleven is extremely reactive, very friendly and they feel in general as an extension of our own company rather than a subcontractor; the tone during discussions is always constructive and supportive. We’re positively surprised by the fact that from day one everything works smoothly, there was practically no adjustment necessary on either side.
