Project Background

To effectively manage a construction project, it is imperative that you track and make sure relevant tasks get delivered effectively and on time. To execute the whole process successfully, it is necessary to have properly structured checklists that allow reducing errors and ensuring consistency.

Checklists enable companies to manage all aspects of a construction project, organise workflow, link crucial project elements, categorise tasks and break down complex activities.

Quality control platform project background

Quality Control Platform gathers all reports and inspections, helping to handle different types of checks and follow-up routines at the workplace. Starting as a tool made by engineers for engineers, today the system is used by thousands of users across different industries.

Project History

  • 2018 The project started in January 2018 with the participation of three software engineers of SSA Group and four on the client side. The initial task was to create an easy-to-follow system for monitoring daily inspections. The team implemented an API with an admin panel using Laravel 5 and PHP 5 and web application based on Ember.js.
  • 2019 The team was expanded to five people to cover new development tasks. It was decided to move the application to Ionic to make the system more scalable and mobile-friendly.
  • 2020 The team of software engineers started splitting the monolithic architecture into microservices.
  • Now The overall project team is up to 15 software developers. The project architecture is being moved to microservices using a Java technology stack. To optimise the load performance, the project team added a Kubernetes load balancer which helps orchestrate instances. The technology stack is updated to Laravel 8 and PHP 8.

Project Description

SaaS provides tools for quality control, safety rounds, equipment observations and incidents, and deviation reporting and handling. The solution consists of both a hybrid app and a web platform.

The platform makes it easy to ensure routines and optimise work through the customised checklists and case reporting from the mobile device. The system allows companies to standardise internal maintenance procedures, digitise all steps of the quality process and implement health, safety, and environmental (HSE) strategy in the day-to-day work of the frontline teams.

Solution Architecture

The core of the system is the Laravel-based API that is used by the mobile application and the admin panel. Also, the system has multiple Java microservices to decouple the intense jobs. The following architecture was introduced by the development team:

Project Stages

  1. Platform support

    The development team supported the existing solution and suggested ways to improve it.

  2. New features development

    The team extended the existing set of features with new ones allowing the system to combine the latest technologies with a user-friendly UI/UX.

  3. Shift to new architecture

    The software engineers migrated from a single server to microservices in order to create a more scalable solution based on Kubernetes.
