processing services to a wide selection of furniture retailers and consumers.
Montage Portal
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.

Trailhead stepped into a challenging project – building our new web architecture and
redeveloping our portals at the same time the business was migrating from a legacy system to our new CRM
solution. 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.

Background
NorthStar is a mobile workforce optimization
platform. A dispatcher can upload work orders for route drivers, and then sequence the stops
optimally for traffic, service windows and other factors. The dispatcher can view progress in real
time throughout the day, and access reports and analytics afterwards. The driver uses a native
mobile app to manage their stops and tasks, and can perform surveys, which allow for actions like
scanning bar codes, taking pictures, getting signatures and providing other input.

Web + Mobile + Logistics
Trailhead built the web front end, along with a back end service that uses
a combination of routing and sequencing APIs paired with custom algorithms to plan and analyze
routes. The solution is multi-tenant and hosted in the cloud, with tenants paying a monthly
subscription fee per route. Trailhead also built a cross platform mobile app, and a completely
dynamic and flexible survey feature, which allows the app to record whatever data the tenant needs
to collect, including biometrics, GPS location, signature, photos, videos, and text or voice input.

Trailhead worked together with our company for many years, and after a while, it became apparent what we were doing together could be spun out as a product of it’s own. We worked together to design the features of the product, and then jointly launched our NorthStar platform. 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. I am very happy to have found the Trailhead team many years ago and I am thrilled about all the exciting opportunities that lie ahead in our new joint venture.

Background
JDi Data has built several insurance related products, and found a
recurring need to configure actions that happen when various events occur, for instance, sending
emails of faxes, updating database records, or FTPing files. They wished to build a product,
FlowBot, that would be a configurable workflow engine that could serve all these needs and be sold
as a standalone, multi-tenant cloud service.

FlowBot
Trailhead built the front end web application that allows management of
FlowBot tenants and users, as well as a custom workflow design surface to allow events to be
connected to tasks and actions. Trailhead also did the UX work, an API that the web app uses, and
assisted with porting existing workflow engine code to .NET Core. The API runs in a Docker Container
on Linux, and can dynamically operate with either SQL Server or MySQL databases.
