ACTech: Project Management Software Development System for Startups

ACTech Ltd is a startup company that undertakes design, installation, maintenance and service of electronic and pneumatic equipment, automation and control systems for ships and industries in Greece and abroad.

For now, ACTech is involved in managing large projects, mainly in road infrastructure, trains, neighborhoods, etc. In recent times the company has been working on a pilot project for leading tech companies. In this case study of the project management system, we will share the best practices we followed when creating it.

ACTech has developed an innovative project management system (ACTECH) for tracking key points, monitoring execution and automating the work of contractors. ACTECH is a revolutionary and unique way to improve project management efficiency, to shorten project time and the overall cost of the project.

The system consists of 9 modules with 4 in the core:

ACTech realized that project management efficiency has become very low as it is done in a few levels. Using various unintegrated tools made it hard to understand the exact status of each work item and what really needed to be done in order to make the project built. In addition, all parties of cooperation have lost motivation to speed up work and provide better response time.

To solve the challenge of developing a project management system, ACTech hired our custom software development team. Fayrix formed an initial team of 6 high-quality software developers for ACTech for just a couple of weeks.

Each team member completed the test task and went through 3 stages of an interview with the customer:

In the absence of an in-house development team, Fayrix developers have become the main lead team in the project. The cooperation was implemented according to the FTE model; the team was managed by a project manager on the Fayrix side. The work process is based on usual for the client communication environment with daily calls with the client.

A team of 6 highly qualified Fayrix developers allowed ACTech to quickly develop and deploy a project management system and establish effective cooperation with contractors. Which in turn helped to reduce costs and focus on interaction with the customers. Fayrix team took over the main areas of responsibility: back-end development, front-end development, QA, and project management:

In this case study of project management software for startups, we have shared how Fayrix managed to create a multi-architecture system from scratch, being fully controlled by the customer and finding the way to integrate multiple business tasks into one solution. Developing a system for managing projects is always a challenge since you need to carefully match the specifics with the task itself with software's technical capabilities, making task management simple yet effective. Our software development services for startups cover a wide range of tech projects to help businesses grow, keeping the company's goals and budget expectations in mind.
