For the Dutch company Cotembo, we created a system that enables legal and financial audits. The aim of the collaboration was to create an intuitive platform that allows checking the legality of companies from all over the world. The collaboration covered the entire planning process, from the creation of the system’s operational specification to implementation and maintenance.
Cotembo is a revolutionary platform that enables setting up financial and due diligence audits of small and medium-sized enterprises. Until now, these instruments have been dedicated to banks and large financial institutions. Thanks to Cotembo, law firms, accounting firms and other companies now have access to automated audits.
We knew the coding phase would be challenging. That’s why we prepared a schedule for the project before the start of the work and divided it into two-week sprints – that is, we used the work in the SCRUM model.
The work was carried out under the supervision of the Project Manager and the development team was in constant contact with the UX designer, allowing the entire team to communicate quickly.
To further improve communication, Dave, the inventor of Cotembo, has been added to our tools: Slack to keep up with us, and Click Up to submit changes.
After each sprint, we consulted Dave on the workload and made changes to the schedule if necessary. Working in the sprint gave us flexibility: when Dave requested changes at the end of a sprint, we updated the action plan.
Our client deserves recognition – rarely do we have the pleasure of working with such committed and responsive people. Thank you very much. Two parties always work for the success of a project, and that is also the case with this project. Despite its size, Cotembo was produced without much delay.
It was definitely one of the most interesting projects we have created. We believe that Cotembo will change the way we work with audits.
Brave New has completed and delivered the product on time. They've communicated through Slack, Parallel, WhatsApp, and email, and the client raises issues via ClickUp. The team has been creative and informative, and they've explained complicated terms to the client in an understandable way.
The collaboration with Cotembo was special for us for many reasons. Especially in the development of the platform, we had the opportunity to collaborate with Dave at every stage of the project. The development of the system took several months and, most importantly, was completed on time, influenced not only by good planning of the process on our side, but also by trust and commitment on the client’s side. They helped us to receive all comments and proposals for amendments as well as the necessary content in good time.
Our work began with defining the business objectives and preparing the project specifications. During the meetings and workshops with Dave, we divided the platform into smaller sections, compiled a list of necessary features, and described each section in detail. As part of the work, we produced a document of more than ten pages, which formed the basis for further work on the project.
The specifications were supplemented by initial low-fi mockups, representing user paths in sensitive areas of the system, in particular with regard to examination forms.
Knowing not only Dave’s expectations, but also the needs of the target customers, we started the next phase of work – based on the design specification, we wrote a technical specification and added important technical aspects to the business document. At this stage, we decided on a technology stack and decided to build a backend based on Laravel and the front end of the app based on React. It is important that there were already changes to the project at that time, which we took into account.
From the very beginning it was clear to us that the project would live and change in the course of the work: new requirements and necessary adjustments would come. In the interest of the system, we have continuously revised and supplemented the specification.
The next step was the preparation of the UX/UI model. In order to meet the customer’s expectations and to look for savings in the project, we used a ready-made library for the production of the models, which also saved us some time.
The design stage of the project took about 2 months and resulted in 128 models being created. Not only views, but also all relevant elements (different form states, active and inactive notifications, etc.) were developed on the models.
The platform we have written is not only intended to automate the process of creating audits. Our goal was also to develop an app that would make management easier for Dave, the initiator of the project. What features does Cotembo have?
