The BridgingApps platform faced several challenges that hindered its effectiveness. The previous system was not user-friendly, making it difficult for users to navigate and find relevant applications. Additionally, the internal team struggled with managing the platform due to outdated technology and practices. With the increasing use of mobile devices, the platform also needed a modern, mobile-friendly design to encourage sign-ups and engagement.
To address these challenges, Workhorse partnered with BridgingApps to develop a next-generation platform built on the Laravel framework. The new platform featured a single RDS database for streamlined data management, and rapid API integration to pull in real-time data from app stores. OpenSearch was implemented to enhance search functionality, allowing users to easily find apps based on their specific needs.
The development process involved several key phases, including strategy development, design, development, and testing and feedback. By focusing on performance, reliability, and ease of use, the new BridgingApps platform successfully addressed the challenges of the previous system and provided a more effective and user-friendly experience for its community.
