The Problem
The Bay Club was based on an inflexible and out-dated system that could not keep up with the rising needs of business. Existing applications did not have support for new features and maintenance, and had many core functionalities missing (like card payment, childcare booking, etc). The Bay Club had to often rely on external partners, which generated costs and was unstable as a long-term solution.
The Challenges
The biggest challenge was to create the whole application ecosystem, consisting of fully integrated modules, cloud based, mobile friendly, scalable, low-maintenance and with the ability to manage permissions for lead users. We worked on making our ecosystem user-friendly and communicate with core legacy systems to be able to stream data live with 24/7 availability.
We have created model corporate architecture.
The outcome was a system universe powered by an original legacy system using a mobile-first approach. Gradually over time, other applications have been created.

Testimonial
While heading the digital transformation efforts for The Bay Club (a hospitality company), one of the main challenges we faced was to recruit and keep a top notch team of technical people while competing with the likes of Facebook, Google, and hundreds of startups for qualified and loyal talent.
We decided to take a leap of faith and started to work with an offshore company, Qodeca, to take care of all of our needs. Today, almost 8 years later, we cannot imagine where we would be without them. Qodeca is an integral part of The Bay Club. Throughout this whole time, Qodeca has had a perfect record when it comes to finding and retaining the best possible people in all areas we needed (developers, business analysts, designers, testers, devOps, etc). So good that most of the Qodeca assigned staff have been with us for this whole time, which is almost unheard of in an industry where 2 years at the same job is considered “long term”.
What started as a staffing challenge, and a money saving effort, turned into much more than that. We outsource 100% of our software development needs to Qodeca. Professional, competent, and always available. Qodeca is the partner you would want in any occasion, from start-ups trying to get an MVP of the ground, to a multi-million dollar project.
Thanks Qodeca!
