About
Kallanish is a business media organization that produces news, data, events, and market intelligence for professionals who work in commodities. Kallanish approached us with an existing platform that was in need of stabilization and support, alongside a full backlog with new features. The client was looking for a software development partner, to lead the process & take care of everything software & infrastructure related.
Challenge, approach, and impact
The Challange
In the very beginning, there were a couple of challenges, that required immediate attention: 1. Understand the business domain. 2. Get up to speed with a software platform that’s running in production, providing business-critical services. 3. Provide critical software & infrastructure support, so the platform can be up and running.
How we built
Testimonials

“Our first challenge when we met Hacksoft was transitioning to maintaining existing infrastructure, systems and databases, in parallel developing the new system overcoming limitations and bottle-necks of the old, with a long view to build solid foundations on which to grow and develop. With hindsight, we have achieved that and continue to add on vertically and horizontally features, products and improve processes. As the nature of our business needs evolved, we have gone through working with a third set of project team leaders (with a bit of Covid inbetween), that transition has been smooth and effortless. I guess their extensive documentation, tightly-knit and motivated staff has helped immensely. Senior management's understanding of both business and actual coding makes them a good fit for anyone from start-up to mid-sized business. I think I speak on behalf of everyone at Kallanish that we would recommend them to others who need similar help and face similar or diverse challenges to scale up their business through technology.“

“Rado and the team have taken the time to really understand our business and to work with us in building the systems to allow us to grow. In the five years since we started working together we have trebled our turnover and created two new companies with several product launches. This would not have been possible without the whole HackSoft development team coming to London to spend a few days meeting our own team and understanding what end results we needed in order to scale up our activities. I am confident that working in collaboration with HackSoft we will continue this growth trajectory in the next five years.“
