Software Architecture and Strategy

When you partner with Trailhead, your custom software solutions are always built upon robust architecture and intelligent strategy for peak performance and quality.

Success Starts With Architecture and Strategy

To ensure your tech has a solid foundation, we rely on our vast experience and industry knowledge to assemble system architecture that simply holds up. The strategies we implement for our system designs factor in an array of tiers (interface, data access, legacy integrations) and map them out in the blueprints we create for your software project.

Software Architecture Deliverables

Trailhead Technology assembles your system architecture based on given requirements and a user interface design. This blueprint then gives both you and our team the big picture for what needs to be done. The system architecture includes choices of technology to be used in various tiers, such as user interface, middle tier, databases, data access, legacy integrations, and reporting.

You can typically expect your systems design to be a document featuring a set of diagrams and database tables that is handed to our development team (or can be given to yours). From there, design and development progress in tandem through our agile process.

Along with architecting and developing new, full tech stacks, Trailhead Technology Partners also improves existing system architecture.

Architecture, Team, and Security Audits

Besides offering help with the full development cycle, we also offer auditing services, where we can perform an audit of your applications, security, personnel, systems architecture, and documentation in order to give you a second opinion from an expert on these crucial aspects of your business. 

Audits often involve a series of on-site or online visits, code reviews, interviews with leadership, development team members, and other organizational members, as well as several follow-on meetings to do some deep dives into topics deemed worthy of further investigation. The conclusion of the audit will be a presentation of the final results and documentation along with Trailhead’s recommended actions.

Intelligent Software Strategies

Our mission is to work with you to develop and engineer custom web, mobile, IoT, and cloud software solutions that make your life easier. For this to happen, our highly experienced team creates intelligent strategies for back-end integrations, portal developments, routing and sequencing APIs, pairing custom algorithms to plan and analyze routes, and a range of other activities that lead to optimal end user experience (UX).

The strategy work we do on the front end enables our team to keep future capabilities in mind and alleviate constraints and complexities that can come with a legacy system. And once we have your strategy in place, we can begin our development and deployment processes.

Our projects related to Software Architecture and Strategy

Jewelers Mutual Insurance wanted to deliver a new version of their LINK tablet app that would be built from the ground up. The new version needed to provide in-app administration, support iOS, Android, and Windows, and reflect new corporate branding standards. It would also need to integrate with their Salesforce implementation and existing APIs.
Work included a new back end microservice and a web front end for two end user portals and one administrative set of screens, as well as migration of legacy data.
Trailhead developed a custom Android mobile inventory app that integrated with Arctic Express’s existing DSD software, enabling real-time GPS tracking of drivers’ locations, providing navigation assistance, and offering operational visibility through a Dispatch web app, thus enhancing efficiency and logistics for Arctic Express’s mobile workforce.
Trailhead has done a great job building NorthStar with today’s leading technology and they work extremely well with our sales and product development teams to help guide our product road map. The team is extremely smart, they communicate very well, and they are great to work with.

Montage Portal

Montage Furniture Services provides furniture protection plans and claims processing services to a wide selection of furniture retailers and consumers.

Project Background

Montage was looking to build a new web portal for both Retailers and Consumers, which would integrate with Dynamics CRM and other legacy systems. The portal needed to be multi tenant and support branding and configuration for different Retailers. Trailhead architected the new Montage Platform, including the Portal and all of it’s back end integrations, did the UI/UX and then delivered the new system, along with enhancements to DevOps and processes.

They were able to not only significantly improve our web development architecture but our development and deployment processes as well as the functionality and performance of our portals. The feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. Trailhead has proven themselves to be a valuable partner.
