CASE STUDY
Case Study: FlatFee’s Platform Transformation with Ksense Technology Group –
FlatFee, an innovative platform that connects businesses with freelance professionals to automate legal compliance, faced significant hurdles in scaling their operations. Despite leveraging Knack’s features, they encountered critical limitations in email notifications, data synchronization with their Angular web application, and navigating complex data compliance across the United States and China. Realizing the need for expert assistance, FlatFee partnered with Ksense Technology Group to overcome these challenges.
Client Profile
FlatFee encountered several critical obstacles that hindered their ability to scale and optimize their platform effectively:
Complex Email Infrastructure: FlatFee needed a sophisticated email notification system, where each ticket had its own email address, enabling automatic routing upon task completion. The limitations of Make (formerly Integromat) made it difficult to achieve this automation, impacting timely communication.
Data Synchronization: Synchronizing data between Knack, where contractors completed tasks, and FlatFee’s main Angular web application, which customers used to place and track orders, was a significant challenge, leading to inconsistencies and potential delays.
Data Compliance: Operating in both the United States and China, FlatFee struggled to navigate the complex and differing data compliance requirements of each region, risking potential legal and regulatory issues.
