If you have read our online reviews and customer testimonials, you will notice a theme: we value transparency and candid conversations … even if it results in walking away from a project. That’s the kind of company we are. In this blog post, we will share our honest take on AI Adoption after working with […]
Table of Contents What is Software Testing Software Testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software application or system meets specified requirements and functions correctly. The primary goal of software testing is to gather information about the product and its users, analyze requirements from the user’s perspective, identify defects, ensure the quality […]

Mobile application development is the process of creating software applications that run on mobile devices, often utilizing a network connection to work with remote computing resources. This involves creating installable software bundles, implementing backend services such as data access with an API, and testing the application on target devices. This blog post offers a detailed overview […]
Developing mobile applications can follow two primary paths: Android and iOS. Each platform has its own set of requirements and challenges. This guide focuses on iOS development, emphasising on the unique blend of technical expertise, strategic decision-making, and meticulous attention to detail needed to succeed. This blog post delves into the essential aspects of iOS […]
Mantrax was engaged to build a unique cloud-based multi-tenant SaaS application platform. The client had very specific requirements in terms of functionality, scalability, security, identity, and user experience to meet the needs of a narrow market segment. We started with a proof-of concept project to evaluate the feasibility of our proposed solution. Due to the success of this development, Mantrax has been retained to develop the other applications based on this platform.
A particular challenge was to deliver on the rather unique identity and data security requirements for this type of mobile application deployment. It did not allow for any corporate or user identifiers to reach the cloud servers. The challenge was to de-identify all private company information (name, emails, product names, etc.) before they made it to the database and reconstruct them in the application in real-time. For example, if Acme Corp sells a product called Foo Bar, we couldn’t save either the label “Acme Corp” or “Foo Bar” in the database but the labels had to be re-inserted while the application was in use (that is on the client side).
The client implemented the ERP system IFS in 2016. In 2020, four years post-implementation, the Client’s pain points included:
1. Unique Security Model
The initial challenge was creating a data model that would support client isolation and allow users to log in seamlessly.
2. Multi-Tenancy at Scale
At Mantrax, we are not committed to any specific tech stack; we select the one that best fits the solution.
3. Data Entry for Mobile Screen
A hybrid deployment was recommended since maintaining a separate code base for iOS and Android leads to a more expensive development process.
A robust multi-tenancy database was selected for the platform making it possible for each client on this app to not only have their own individual database but can enable them to be put on different clusters in different public clouds to satisfy client requirements.
Since the purpose of the app was to allow a large volume of data entry capabilities, we chose a non-blocking, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment running in cluster mode for performance.
Even if there is a breach, no one can connect the server data with the company. This is completely obfuscated to an end user.
A leading developer and manufacturer of advanced concrete materials faced significant challenges with outdated software. The software, developed over 25 years ago, was running on a Windows XP virtual machine, and lacked the necessary functionality to meet the manufacturer’s evolving operational needs. To bridge the gap, the manufacturer relied heavily on Microsoft Excel, resulting in cumbersome manual data entry and calculations by management.
After extensive research, the manufacturing organization opted to modernize their existing custom application over purchasing an off-the-shelf ERP.
Mantrax partnered with the manufacturing client to modernize their systems and streamline operations. Key elements of the solution included:
Fresh UI Design
We introduced a user interface that balanced familiarity with modern design principles, simplifying the learning curve while enhancing robustness.
Database Redesign
The existing database was completely overhauled to meet industry standards, simplifying backend processes and incorporating essential missing features.
Core Functionality Enhancement
We refined and simplified core functions to reduce redundant user inputs, ensuring data integrity and improving overall efficiency.
Comprehensive in-person workshop to understand current state processes and design future state processes. The workshop resulted in a detailed functional specification outlining the scope of ERP modernization.
A user-centered design approach ensured a smooth transition to the new system. As part of agile development, wireframes for each module was designed and approved by client before starting development.
Design of three-tier architecture: frontend, backend and database development. End-to-end module development, ensuring seamless integration and efficient data flow across all modules.
Rigorous testing processes included testing as part of agile sprints, and testing by the Client at regular intervals. A final User-Acceptance-Testing (UAT) at the client's production facility was facilitated.
We provided end-to-end project management, including 100% agile development cadence, ensuring transparency and timely delivery at every stage.

Development of a new SaaS CRM with multiple modules.
The client was trying to develop a new CRM to be used by law firms. The platform was a new product aimed at filling gaps in existing commercial SaaS offerings in the industry. The client was frustrated with the three other vendors and contractors they had worked with since each vendor needed help to meet timelines, stay on budget or deliver the design functionality.
Our team diagnosed the development work completed to do and collaborated with the client to complete the application.
