Modernizing Accounting Workflow Platforms for Performance, Scalability, and UX

Logistics

The Challenge

Jetpack Workflow is a SaaS platform designed to help accountants efficiently manage their clients and tasks. As the company grew and evolved, it faced several technical and operational challenges:

  • Need to migrate the legacy platform to more modern versions of Ruby on Rails
  • Updating the frontend to improve user experience and performance
  • Efficient management of over 40 accounting firms, each with more than 50 accountants
  • Implementation of a system for recurring tasks with timely alerts
  • Maintenance and improvement of code quality through unit testing
  • Scalability of the platform to handle a growing number of users and tasks

To address these challenges, Jetpack Workflow sought the assistance of VAIRIX to strengthen its development team.
