ERP Solution Implementation
Aston Group is a UK-based engineering company that provides a wide range of services for newly built and renovated commercial and residential properties nationwide.
Aston Group used standalone software for reactive maintenance projects and managed planned maintenance tasks separately. Construction estimates were created manually in Excel, while specialized software tracked opportunities, revenue, and accounting. The mix of systems hindered a comprehensive view, impacting decision-making. Seeking a solution, Aston Group approached RichBrains for their expertise in application migration and integration.
RichBrains audited Aston Group's IT infrastructure, data, and workflows, identifying inefficiencies. We proposed an integrated software suite with ERP capabilities to replace isolated systems, streamline operations, and meet customer and project management needs. Aston Group, impressed with our approach, contracted us to implement the innovative concept.
To streamline and enhance the client's business operations, RichBrains developed a multi-component ERP solution including stock management system forms; asset, appliance, and property management functionality; client management and financial settings; planned and reactive maintenance module; custom package and workflow module; assignment management page.
Aston Group's ERP system generates precise construction estimates using current stock and contractor cost data. These estimates are presented to clients through a user-friendly portal, complemented by features like order management, operation tracking, accounting, and report generation.
By implementing the ERP solution, Aston Group has achieved several milestones:
- Alignment of the company's goals with definitive key performance indicators
- ? 40% improvement in stakeholder communication
- Improved compliance with safety regulations
- Gaining a decisive edge over competitors
Distributed data crawler
RichBrains successfully created a scalable, custom-built distributed data crawler for Boston University.
Business challenge
The ambitious research agenda was challenged by the lack of an efficient system to extract and analyse the vast data available on social media platforms like Twitter. With the absence of a pre-existing solution potent enough to handle the fast-paced, enormous volume of data, the potential for using this wealth of social media data to drive in-depth, real-time research was largely unexplored and untapped.
Solution
With a clear understanding of their needs, Boston University decided to commission a custom-built data crawler. They sought a robust solution that could handle real-time data streaming from Twitter’s API, rapidly processing large volumes of data.
The university also required the system to have the versatility to filter data based on specific research criteria, ensuring each research project could access relevant and targeted data. After a thorough evaluation of several vendors, Boston University chose RichBrains, confident in our strong expertise in digital transformation, data migration, and integration projects.
Implementation
The solution we proposed involved using cutting-edge technologies like Kafka and Spark Streaming. Kafka was employed to handle real-time data ingestion, and Spark Streaming was utilised for real-time data processing.
The system was designed to operate on multiple servers to accommodate the high volume and velocity of data from Twitter’s API. It was a challenge to create a system capable of handling millions of tweets rapidly, but our team implemented distributed data processing across multiple nodes, thereby optimally managing the data’s volume and velocity.
The solution’s standout feature was its scalability. Initially designed to handle Twitter’s API, the system was built to be flexible enough to expand to other APIs, providing a future-proof solution for the ever-evolving research needs of the university.

Comprehensive Microservice Based System for Taxi
Taxi App for Drivers is part of a complex microservice-based system which includes customer iOS App, web-based call-center and website.Our goal was to design a new app that allows drivers manage their businesses from the app and give more control over their money.
We've started from drivers' interviews to get insights from the users who will actually work with the App. We had several live sessions & rides around the city to get feedback about existing App, understand users needs & workflows.
The deeper we dived into the process the better we understood that making an interface for that App is not a piece of cake. Taking into consideration that drivers can receive and interact with orders while driving we had to think over each tiny detail of the interface.
We've created the first mock-ups in sketch using material design components. That gave us the opportunity to create interactive high-fidelity prototypes in a few days & test our interface in real time. Apart from the ability to receive and execute rides, drivers wanted to get information about their orders & earnings. We've created a separate interface where drivers can see all the information about their rides & money.
Apart from the main goals of the project our aim was to start App testing & get data for analysis as soon as possible because we had strict deadlines. On the very first meeting with our client we agreed that we will have flex scope & fixed deadlines. To meet that agreement we used Scrum methodology.So as soon as we had MVP ready we started testing on most loyal users. Step by step we moved to the first final version.
Nowadays Taxi 135 is one of the largest taxi service providers in their country with a dispatching office for several taxi providers.
