How We do it

The Trailhead Framework™

Getting your projects started faster, better, and for less

Better, Stronger, & Faster

Over the years, Trailhead has recognized that many custom projects started with the same repetitive work. To jumpstart projects more efficiently, Trailhead built its own framework and project templates for web, mobile, desktop, back-end, DevOps and cloud applications.

Using this framework, we are able to start new projects from a very solid and well-tested foundation, while also getting all the most commonly required features for very little effort. This enables the team to focus more on innovation and less on repetitive setup tasks. 

The Trailhead Framework™ also facilitates quicker development cycles, improve security and reliability, and ensure best practices are adhered to, ultimately accelerating time-to-market and saving you money.

Back-End Framework

Trailhead’s back-end framework provides a well-architected starting point for a back-end application, including APIs and database. Offering a significant number of technical features, the framwork supports all the most common hosting scenarios such as on-premise hosting, cloud hosting, serverless, and containerization. 

It also supports many different common scenarios like different underlying databases, authentication and credential stores, common access control models, and the ability to automatically audit data changes throughout the application. 

Finally, it provides many of the most common features required in custom software applications such as validation, time zones, and multi-tenancy support.

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.
