Where they started
It worked, but three things held it back
Messages
- Before
- A paid third party sat between the app and WhatsApp.
- After
- A direct link to WhatsApp, with no one in the middle.
Hosting
- Before
- An old back end on a single rented server.
- After
- A modern setup on Google Cloud.
Releases
- Before
- No set, repeatable way to put changes live.
- After
- Every change goes live by the same automatic route.
What we did
One link grew into a whole new platform
1. Where it started
Connect
We built a direct link from the app to WhatsApp. No one in the middle.
2. As the brief grew
Move
We moved the platform off its old server and onto Google Cloud.
3. With the move
Rebuild
We rebuilt the part people see, and set up automatic releases.
4. Alongside
Secure
We reviewed their security. They passed Cyber Essentials.
Two engineers did all four, end to end.
