InSight provided US pork producers and their advisors with an analytical platform that allowed to track swine production statistics, sales records and health information. The platform assisted in year over year performance improvement and maximising the profitability of pork production facilities.
Technically, InSight leap-frogged into a highly designed program by the acquisition of the software package developed and refined over more than 30 years by the original developer. By 2021, lnSight’s platform was falling behind the times. The job which InSight asked of ELEKS was a challenge - to both support the platform and add more functionality to it.
The ELEKS helped InSight establish an efficient support team to ensure stable performance of its platform. While providing support services, ELEKS acted as a key decision-maker and took responsibility for product technical shaping. During two years of cooperation with lnSight, ELEKS implemented the following features and solutions:
- Designed and implemented an advanced report from scratch which encompassed consolidation of numerous tables and incorporation of a complex calculation formula
- Simplified and automated reporting process, billing procedure, and data visualization
- Enabled the platform’s expansion into other geographical regions by adding flexibility and scalability to the current solution
- Introduced changes to the platform’s UI/UX to modernise the look and feel of the software
- Created and configured staging environment to ensure all the code updates meet the necessary quality requirements, configured a CI/CD tool
- Increased the quality of the software product by adding testing to our support process
- Improved the solution’s server function, back up, infrastructure resource allocation, data base, and monitoring, optimised page loading, increased stability and security.
The ELEKS’ L2/L3 support team increased the stability and usability of the swine production analytics platform making it less effort intensive to maintain. Those multiple enhancements that they introduced were able to prolong the technological and economic life of the platform, as well as to scale it to other geographies.
