    Workflow

    Phased Delivery Focused on Architectural Innovation and Data Standardization

    The workflow centered on decoupling the system to ensure multi-tenancy, developing a data standardization layer, and optimizing the onboarding pipeline.
    Phase 1

    Architecture creation

    The team designed a unique, multi-tenant architecture capable of collecting and storing petabytes of data while ensuring customer isolation.
    Phase 2

    Data normalization

    A significant effort was dedicated to creating a specialized "Normalizer" utility for processing incomplete or broken external data feeds.
    Phase 3

    Data modeling

    We executed the creation of a generic data model applicable to all customers, standardizing data structures regardless of the original incoming format.
    Phase 4

    Onboarding optimization

    The newly created architecture was deployed to facilitate the smooth and rapid onboarding of new customers, irrespective of their existing data structures or business processes.
    "We took a bet when we decided to partner with Zoolatech and it’s been paying off in spades. In particular, we’ve been impressed with the quality of teammates and the speed at which Zoolatech has been able to source and land engineers that could help our internal team."

    Architecture and isolation

    The team created a unique architecture for collecting and storing petabytes of data, which allowed analyzing it to generate meaningful insights and statistics. Customers were isolated from each other while the code and core functions were shared.
    approve

    Security and feature reusability

    The design guarantees data privacy and security for each customer. Whenever a new feature was added for one customer, it was possible to reuse it for others.
    approve

    The normalizer

    Many efforts were spent to create a so-called “Normalizer” which helps to use data that might not be complete or could be broken.
    approve

    Data standardization

    It was even possible to make a generic data model for all customers, regardless of the data that is received.
    approve

    Onboarding solution

    Finally, the newly created architecture allowed smooth onboarding of new customers regardless of the data structures and business processes they are using.
