Ardanis Transforms Payzone’s Payment Platform, Accelerating Performance and Scalability.
Background
Payzone, a leader in payment solutions, needed a technology upgrade to scale efficiently and meet growing market demands. Their mobile platform was outdated, backend services were struggling, and infrastructure limitations were slowing growth.
Payzone was introduced to Ardanis through a referral from a trusted developer already working on their projects. Impressed by Ardanis’ proven expertise in process development and test automation, Payzone engaged them for consulting services.
The impact of the collaboration led to a long-term strategic partnership, focused on driving innovation, scalability, and performance.
Challenge
Payzone encountered several critical challenges :
Without addressing these challenges, Payzone risked hindering its growth potential and compromising long-term success.
- Development Process & Test Automation – Existing workflows and automation practices were inefficient, leading to slower delivery cycles and quality issues.
- Technical Debt – Payzone’s backend services relied on outdated systems and protocols, requiring significant upgrades to improve performance and maintainability.
- Scalability & Mobile Rebuild – The company needed expert guidance to restructure and rebuild its mobile platform for greater stability and future growth.
- On-Premises Infrastructure – Unlike a typical cloud-based deployment, Payzone’s infrastructure was on-premises, requiring tailored scalability solutions.
Payzone’s backend and mobile rebuild enhanced scalability, cut load times, and boosted platform reliability.
Solution
Ardanis collaborated closely with Payzone to implement a structured, scalable, and efficient solution:
This solution included:
- Process Development – Conducted a detailed review of Payzone’s development workflows, providing best practice recommendations to streamline operations.
- Test Automation Review – Performed an in-depth audit, offering guidance on improving Payzone’s test suite and automation coverage for better efficiency.
- Delivery Team Support – Assisted in assembling a dedicated delivery team and contributed to the backend and mobile platform rebuild to align with industry standards.
- Technology Stack Enhancements –
- Backend: Modernised using .NET to create a more robust and scalable system.
- Mobile App: Rebuilt with Kotlin for an efficient and high-performance Android experience.
By adopting an agile methodology, Ardanis ensured that Payzone could quickly integrate best practices while maintaining focus on long-term goals.
