Case Study: A Leading Soil Survey Company In The Middle East

Situation

Our client was:

An Australian company (a global leader in the field of soil survey analysis) operating in the Middle East.
In need of an offshore partner that would handle data entry of soil survey sheets for a six-month period.
Impressed with the quality of our work and our commitment (they had previously outsourced a small data entry project to us).

global leader in the field of soil survey analysis

Challenges

The challenges facing us were:

To develop an exclusive SQL database (similar to the client's)
To design a front-end data entry tool with 40 fields, similar to the physical copy of the soil survey
To create an automated SQL database on the back-end, where the front-end entries are automatically merged with the customer's SQL database
To live up to the client's expectations (they were aware of our expertise in developing systems and solutions for similar projects)

Actions

The steps we took to address the challenges were:

Development of an SQL database mirroring the customer's database
Creation of a dedicated customer FTP system for file transfer
Seamless transfer of front-end data entry output via FTP along with our SQL database to the client
Merging of data output at the customer's end (having twice struggled to do so earlier)

Results

Our actions resulted in:

Huge cost savings for the client—creating the SQL database as per the customer's requirements was indeed a costly affair, but we did not charge anything extra for software development
Running the project in auto mode once the transfer and merging bugs were sorted out
Completion of the project in six months, with daily turnaround of soil survey data entry output
