MTechZilla partnered with a Swiss software company, to develop a comprehensive web portal designed for administrators to monitor and manage energy consumption across various chargers. This case study delves into the challenges faced, solutions implemented, and the outcomes achieved.

Project Goals

Develop a robust web portal for administrators to monitor and manage energy consumption from multiple chargers.

Ensure seamless integration with existing power utility systems.

Enhance user experience for administrators with real-time data and intuitive controls.

Implement scalable and secure solutions to support future expansion.

Challenges

Integrating the new web portal with customer's existing infrastructure and migrating data from legacy systems.

Creating an intuitive interface for administrators to easily monitor and analyse energy consumption data from various chargers.

Ensuring the solution can handle increasing amounts of data and maintain high security standards.

Our Solution

Sprint-based Development

We proceeded with full-scale development, organised into sprints. We adopted Agile methodologies to ensure efficient and timely delivery of features. The sprint process included:

Daily Stand-ups (DSU): Regular meetings to discuss progress, identify roadblocks, and ensure team alignment.
Sprint Planning: Defining the scope of work for each sprint, setting priorities, and assigning tasks.
Sprint Refinement: Continuous refinement of the backlog to ensure that upcoming sprints are well-prepared and aligned with project goals.
Sprint Retrospective: Reviewing the completed sprint to identify areas for improvement and celebrate successes.

This approach allowed us to develop features incrementally and release new functionalities after every sprint or every two sprints, ensuring continuous improvement and timely delivery of key features.
