The digital platform had been developed by a previous technology provider and carried substantial technical debt, limited documentation, and no meaningful automated testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, multiple security, compliance, and ownership risks were present, with certain critical services remaining dependent on infrastructure controlled by the previous provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These problems had degraded the customer experience for South Africans using the retail group\u2019s digital platforms, resulting in substantial reputational damage to the retailer\u2019s brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These extensive issues would normally require a total rebuild and a halt to current development plans, but Codehesion took a different approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Codehesion\u2019s strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Codehesion\u2019s approach to the problem was to deliver both the rebuild and the development of new systems simultaneously, rather than delaying development to focus on resolving the problem first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The process was simple: Codehesion\u2019s development team worked on the requested new systems, but whenever they encountered an issue, they separately took the time to upgrade it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to this multi-faceted strategy, new customer-facing and commercially-focused functions continued to be developed at the same time that underlying system issues were steadily resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After four months of development, the new systems had successfully been launched, and the team was able to focus its full attention on the remaining modernisation requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This included removing legacy access and unnecessary compliance exposure, migrating third-party dependencies to client-controlled infrastructure, and restructuring backend services to include automated testing, improved control, and better technical documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to Codehesion\u2019s strategy, which caused minimal disruption to business operations, the retail group experienced substantial growth in its subscriber base, which more than tripled following the implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the new platform provided enhanced digital capabilities, including an insurance interface that has facilitated the sale of thousands of policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Long-term partners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The excellent results of this project have led to a strong relationship between Codehesion and the retail group, including numerous follow-up projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This included two digital products, one of which has since processed hundreds of thousands of transactions, while the other achieved a 95% internal code-quality rating, compared with 40.5% for the platform originally inherited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is proof that Codehesion is a top choice for South African companies with legacy systems or those needing new digital platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
