About the project
Thinksurance is a Germany based company that offers a digital platform solution to the insurance market that links all relevant market players in the field of commercial and industrial insurance. The platform makes it easier, faster and more effective for insurers, brokers and policyholders to exchange information, making all the offerings more comparable.
Before the implementation of the insurance B2B comparison platform, the customer was using a legacy PHP system that was not meeting their needs. The platform was not able to effectively connect with various insurers and had complicated comparison algorithms.
Challenges
The project presented unique challenges as it involved a start-up that was building itself up from scratch, creating something completely fresh and new. The team was uncertain about the implemented architecture and whether it was working as intended. This uncertainty created a need for consultancy and guidance, which our team successfully provided.
As experts in modern microservice architecture, React, and Node.js, we offered valuable insights and recommendations to ensure the optimal performance, scalability, and robustness of the architecture.
Solution
The company did not have the necessary internal resources to make the switch from a legacy PHP system to a modern microservice architecture, so the solution was to look for a partner that can complement their development department.
The customer selected our team as a vendor based on our expertise in React and Node.js and our vast experience in developing modern microservice architectures. They were impressed with our ability to transform the legacy PHP system into a more modern and efficient platform.
Our team was able to develop a modern microservice architecture that effectively connects with various insurers and includes state-of-the-art libraries and frameworks.
The implementation of the insurance B2B comparison platform was successful. The platform now has modern deployment pipelines and infrastructure as code.
