How do you unblock growth in a company that was effectively hindered by old software? How did Antologic’s partnership with a company from the US, Prove, come about? Krzysztof Ryk from Antologic tells us about the details of these two projects.

Antologic

Since 2007, Antologic has supported medium and large clients in the design and implementation of dedicated software built in Java and Vue.js. The company creates web and digitizing systems and supports mainly B2B processes, and its specialty is customized back-office solutions for large enterprises (CRM, DMS, Workflow, and integrations).

In addition to bespoke solutions, Antologic has competence in commercial platforms: SAP Hybris or Adobe Experience Manager. The company operates in several markets, with clients located both in Europe (Germany, Switzerland, UK, Poland) and in the US.

ANTOLOGIC CAN BE YOUR BUSINESS PARTNER in the implementation of Java and Vue.js projects, both in the Team Augmentation model and in-house projects.

ANTOLOGIC – 2 projects you should know about

Krzysztof Ryk, COO & Co-owner of Antologic, will proudly tell us about two projects today, one from a few years ago that gave the company a big growth boost, and the other that happened largely thanks to ITCORNER.

Project 1: Claims settlement

In the first case, we had the opportunity to build a solution that revolutionized work in one of Poland’s leading companies that handles insurance claims. This is a classic but frequently recurring example in our history of so-called “digital transformation”, in which a given company is no longer able to work on its current systems, which are either outdated, not integrated, or simply do not allow the business to grow. The combination of these three elements brought to us a client who was looking for a way to unlock growth potential that was being effectively hindered by old software.

Starting with analysis of the needs, which we did together with Bartosz (CEO), piwith a large group of employees from different departments of the company, we built documentation along with requirements. Based on the prepared documents, we created a system that replaced the client’s old, inefficient and non-integrated solutions. The system supported the consultants from the moment of submitting the claim: already at the stage of “picking up the phone”, the system identified the injured party’s insurance policy data by phone number and was able to determine the possible level of support. Then we focused on the process of handling the damage (e.g. sending the closest and cheapest tow truck based on the data collected by our mobile applications as well as the documentation and coordination of the case), and, finally, the claim liquidation and settlement with all subcontractors.

Many of the client’s employees strongly doubted whether such a system could be created at all, because “we bill differently with each subcontractor” and “it is all so complicated that there are no algorithms for it.”

These are the kind of systems we like best, it has been many years since we implemented the first one and we repeated this exercise a dozen times with different clients. Every time we managed to create something tailor-made, very complex underneath yet simple and efficient for the users.

Projekt 2: Prove

The second case we are very proud of is a project for Prove, which is an American company that provides automated customer identity confirmation and potential fraud detection services for various types of financial institutions.

Our contact with the client began with the help of Michał Zacher, an ITCORNER member and the CEO of Vazco, who introduced us to each other. Thanks to this recommendation, it was much easier for us to talk and finally enter into the first cooperation. 

The project developed gradually. At the beginning we sent one of our Java Tech Leads to the client, after a few months two more people joined, then a few more, and that’s how we came to a team of a dozen people, which has been supporting Prove branches in both the EU and the US for 3 years now.

The team has been working on a core product, supporting the client not only in technical issues but also in process issues. Historically, this was our first adventure involving a big difference in time zones, but we managed to find solutions that address all such problems.
