Honda
Background
Honda is a leading car manufacturer that sought to introduce financing options for their vehicle range. They needed a proficient JavaScript team to help them build a finance calculator by extending an existing, complex code base within a limited time frame. Their e-commerce implementation required a complex architecture to serve customers worldwide.
Challenge
Before any coding began, our team recognized the need to fully comprehend Honda's current system. The implementation required that our team of developers understand the current implementation thoroughly, from custom frameworks to enterprise-level architecture. The tight deadlines posed an additional challenge, necessitating that we put our best people on the project while maintaining a focus on efficiency and transparency of progress.
Team
To take on this challenge, we provided a small, experienced team comprising a Tech Lead and a Senior Engineer.
What we did
As a multinational corporation, Honda's e-commerce implementation required a complex architecture to serve customers worldwide. Before any coding began, our team recognized the need to fully comprehend the current system. Our team of developers had to understand the current implementation thoroughly, from custom frameworks to enterprise-level architecture. Honda used a mixture of web technologies like React and Angular. Our team's extensive knowledge of diverse web technologies allowed us to quickly understand Honda's existing code and build with confidence without adversely affecting existing features.
To ensure that the finance calculator was accurately calculating financing options for Honda's customers worldwide, we worked closely with the Honda team to test the application extensively and avoid errors in calculation.
The finance calculator we built allowed customers to quickly calculate their payment plan depending on their financial circumstance, allowing more customers to access finance and buy Honda's vehicles. This was a key feature that Honda sought to introduce to increase sales.
As a result of our efforts, Honda was able to successfully roll out the finance calculator nationwide within the desired time frame and without any bugs. We continued working with Honda on other parts of their website to enhance customer service and conversion.
By working collaboratively, we were able to successfully roll out the finance calculator nationwide and enhance customer service and conversion on other parts of Honda's website. Our partnership with Honda taught us valuable lessons in working with complex code bases and tight deadlines. We learned that by fully comprehending the current system, we could build with confidence and without adversely affecting existing features.
