CHALLENGE
EXPANDING THE BUSINESS TO NEW MARKETS
Farmodiética was looking to quickly expand their business to new markets and to reach their customers online on every platform. However, the applications they had in-house were built in several different technologies and weren’t suited to respond to their needs. This proved to be a major roadblock for their new business plan of consolidating their offer in a single platform whilst maintaining each one of their business branches separate and expanding their presence worldwide.
Not disrupting their current thirty-six hundred business users and over one hundred and fifty thousand consultation clients' experience was of the utmost importance.
“When we’re dealing with something as sensitive as people's health and wellbeing, we do not want to bring additional stress by not being available when our customers need us,” explains Tiago Ribeiro, Farmodiética’s COO.
SOLUTION
FULLY-INTEGRATED GLOBAL PLATFORM
OSQuay developed the platform codenamed Victus, which gives a structured response to the critical challenges presented to Farmodiética. Victus is the stepping stone and brings important features such as multi-language, multi-tenancy, and a Software as a Service (SaaS) approach that enables Farmodiética to quickly expand globally.
Farmodiética now has an onboarding procedure allowing them to quickly integrate new companies or brands anywhere in the world with a bespoke look and feel and without the need for new code deployment. It may sound like a dream, but a brand new customer portal is just one click away.
Furthermore, Victus introduces major management features and upgrades which allow day-to-day operations to be more performant and time saving for everyone.
By building Victus on top of the OutSystems Platform, unifying Farmodiética’s legacy applications and integrating them into a single digital ecosystem was straightforward.
RESULTS
PLATFORM DELIVERED IN 4 MONTHS WITH 40% SAVINGS
OSQuay delivered the first version of the Victus platform in just 4 months saving more than 40% of its first estimate. The OutSystems’ low-code approach and OSQuay’s team’s experience and expertise made the ambitious goal possible. These numbers are quite significant when taking into consideration how the whole platform, from its backend to its frontend, was built from scratch.
The development speed was crucial to Farmodiética enabling the company to expand to other countries and set its position in such a competitive space.
“OSQuay has shown, from the very beginning of our partnership, that despite being a very young company, their experience, expertise and innovative thinking has consistently surpassed our expectations and helped us meet the ambitious goals of our company,” adds Tiago Ribeiro.
Victus is now available in Europe and the US and caters to the different branches of the company delivering only the subset of the features that make sense to each one of them.
