JRPass: Marrying web development and business processes support

Challenge:

We took over the project from the previous team. The process of transferring the work was challenging in itself. The system had to be developed continuously, while the developers and process were changing. During the development, we also encountered several challenges connected to performance and business optimization.

The main ones where:

• integrating the project into our development framework
• lack of Regional Pass offers
• lack of translations of the website text to various popular languages
• old versions of the framework

Process:

We started by slowly taking over the development jobs and responsibilities from the previous team. The whole process of transferring the project took about two months. Finally, when we established ourselves as the new development team, we organized a workshop with the client to define milestones. We introduced them to our Ideamotive working process (weekly sprints, daily stand-up reports and more). At the same time, we began with development and code refactoring.

Here are the solutions we used:

• roadmap planning meeting
• SEO audit 
• performance audit
• framework upgrades
• security check-up and updates
• translated the site into multiple languages

Outcome:

JRPass implemented innovative regional passes with lower prices, which allowed higher and better targeted sales. Thanks to an SEO audit and A/B testing, the website traffic and conversion rates increased. The business processes within payment module were optimized to decrease transaction costs. Overall, the business noted a significant increase in sales.

• increase in website traffic
• optimized transaction costs
• increased sales

Thanks to the success of this project, a long-term  relationship was formed. Our developers have been working with JRPass for almost three years now, constantly improving the product and taking care of its growth.
