Our Work
We've been successfully delivering and supporting Ruby on Rails projects for start-ups, charities, global corporations and government bodies since 2009. Here are a few Ruby on Rails projects that we’ve worked on:
HMRC
Rebuilding a vital online import and export service to help companies involved in international trade
HM Revenue & Customs needed to rebuild the Trade Tariff tool - an online service that helps companies deal with the complex import and export legislation. Government Digital Services chose us for the project as our approach aligned perfectly with their technology preferences and development methodology.
We used Ruby on Rails to build the Trade Tariff, adapted numerous other open source technologies, (such as ElasticSearch and a PostgreSQL database) and contributed front-end and back-end libraries to the Ruby open source community. The result was an app that runs three times faster than its predecessor, costs approximately ten times less to maintain, and now receives over 1,500,000 views per month.
SwiftKey
Providing expertise to build a cloud personalisation tool that helped a best-selling Android app get smart fast
Swiftkey makes technology that enables easy smartphone typing. It wanted to collect data from its user’s social networks, and use it to make smarter typing suggestions instantly. This would require the collection and analysis of user data from Twitter, Facebook and Gmail’s APIs. While the company had a large and strong team of developers, it decided it would need help from specialist web application developers.
Because SwiftKey uses Java, we used JRuby - an implementation of Ruby on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) - to build the new functionality in time for public launch. The new feature brought SwiftKey widespread critical acclaim, saving its users over 65 billion keystrokes.
Trussell Trust
Seamlessly taking over charity’s application support after an individual contractor build
Trussell Trust, a charity and the UK’s largest food bank organisation needed an experienced Ruby on Rails support agency to take over after an individual contractor built its Ruby on Rails application.
This cloud-based application helps to manage the operations of over 400 food banks, which serve over a million clients a year. More than maintaining the application and fixing any issues as they come up, over the years, Bit Zesty made many enhancements, including continuously updating the application to the latest versions of Ruby on Rails, integrating with Salesforce, creating a new stock control module and building a data visualisation system to drive awareness of poverty.
Diners' Club
Providing reliable business-critical support for a financial corporation
Diners’ Club’s third-party agency was struggling to provide the right level of Ruby on Rails support - Diners’ Club got Bit Zesty to help.
The charge card company needed ongoing software support for its business-critical web application, which is the primary customer entry point for products and services, the merchant portal, and the website. As part of the support service set-up, Diners’ Club also opted to redeploy the application to a high-availability and secure set-up on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Additionally, over the years, we have upgraded the application to the latest Ruby on Rails version and extended the functionality to meet Diners’ Club’s changing business needs.
