NorthStar

Project 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.

How Trailhead Helped

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.

Technologies Used

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 its 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.

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.
