APSCA’s existing custom Knack application posed several critical challenges that threatened the organization’s ability to support its members and fulfill its mission:

• Structural and Security Issues: Database structure problems and security vulnerabilities put APSCA’s data and operations at risk.
• Costly and Error-Prone Automation: Dependence on Make for automation caused data errors and increased costs due to improper integration.
• Limited Functionality: Lack of essential features like custom invoicing, complex business logic, QuickBooks integrations, and custom reports hindered operational efficiency.

APSCA needed a partner who could not only address these immediate concerns but also provide a long-term solution that would support their growth and evolving needs.

We developed a comprehensive, multi-phase solution to address APSCA’s challenges and set them on a path towards digital transformation:

• Immediate Stabilization:
  • Migrated APSCA to a secure Amazon Web Services account.
  • Implemented API best practices to address security vulnerabilities.
  • Replaced costly Make scenarios with custom code, reducing costs and improving reliability.
• Application Enhancement:
  • Revamped the custom Knack application with new, tailored features.
  • Developed a custom invoicing application and integrated complex business logic and QuickBooks.
  • Built custom reports and dashboards to save time and improve efficiency.
  • Implemented a sophisticated notification system using SendGrid.
• Future-Proofing:
  • Started developing a new web application using Next.js to ensure scalability and up-to-date technology.

Throughout the project, we focused on gaining a deep understanding of APSCA’s business, allowing us to design and implement features that perfectly aligned with the organization’s unique requirements.

Through our expertise and commitment to understanding APSCA’s business, the organization achieved a stable, enhanced custom Knack application that supports its global network of auditors and firms:

• Enhanced Security and Reliability: APSCA’s data and operations are now protected by a secure infrastructure and best practices in API design.
• Reduced Costs and Improved Automation: By replacing Make scenarios with custom code, APSCA has reduced its automation costs and improved the reliability of its processes.
• Increased Operational Efficiency: The custom invoicing application, complex business logic, QuickBooks integrations, and custom reports and dashboards have significantly streamlined APSCA’s operations.
• Improved User Experience: The notification system keeps users informed and engaged, ensuring smooth collaboration and task management.

Thanks to our efforts, APSCA’s custom Knack application is now stable, efficient, and relied upon by thousands of auditors and dozens of firms worldwide to perform critical daily tasks.
