BITS as IT development partner

“Our idea was to rethink recruiting and to develop a curated recruiting platform where we bring together companies and networkers. With BITS GmbH we found our reliable digital IT development partner and successfully implemented and launched the swarmscout.com platform. We look forward to continuing to build on these together in the future.”

Dörte Kashdailis, Managing Director of opexxia GmbH

Challenge

The opexxia GmbH team came to BITS with an already mature idea of the platform to be developed and the workflows to be mapped there, so the challenge was to map this idea digitally together and then implement it.

For the implementation, it was important that the platform can be further expanded very individually in the future as well as connected to a variety of interfaces and APIs.

At the same time, the platform should also be able to be expanded in the future to include further services and products via an API.

Realization

The platform was implemented as a custom web application with API-first approach. The backend was implemented using Springboot and Swagger, while the web UI was based on Angular.

An upstream website based on WordPress, serves as an SEO-optimized landing page, so that the portal can be found well via search engines.

The tasks of BITS included the IT conception and implementation of the backend, the database as well as the frontend. At the same time, BITS took over IT project management and IT quality assurance. The continuous operation of the platform is also ensured by BITS.
