How Our Purpose-built Applications and Application Development Services Solved Unique Customer Pain Points
Folklore or pop culture has an endless list of stories that were born from a single line – “What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force?” In the realm of business, the immovable object is a persistent, critical problem that stands resolute until it is met by a novel, breakthrough solution. As a leading application development services provider, with 30 years in service, Trigent has been that force, encountering and solving a diverse spectrum of customer challenges. They range from either pressing issues impacting specific areas of the business to pervasive problems spread across the entire organization. In some cases, the challenges were insidious. Though not visibly manifest, they created bottlenecks and inefficiencies that were either accepted as status quo or normalized without question, until we stepped in.
On a high level, the customer challenges were either acute, or distributed or hidden. So, how did we tackle them? What methods did Trigent employ to solve these three distinct types of problems?
You will see our approach in action through the following three customer success stories.
Pressing Problem vs. Flexible Solution
Our first story centers on a global Fortune 500 truck manufacturer that relied on a third-party product to manage its parts information. About 1000 users spread across different business divisions were using the system to create, add, replace parts, manage parts approval, and search for parts information. The system was heavily customized to suit the manufacturer’s content and workflow needs. It had already reached the limits beyond which further modifications or integrations would have a detrimental effect. While the system was functional, the high maintenance costs became a concern. With the contract set to expire in a few months, the client recognized it was time to look for alternative solutions.
Solution Rethink
Trigent observed that while the existing solution addressed the problem, it lacked the flexibility required for further customization and integration. An additional challenge was to implement the new solution well before the maintenance renewal of the existing product.
Trigent conceived a solution by leveraging its expertise in application development services, particularly employing a specialized low-code/no-code platform. The low-code platform automated large parts of the development process, dramatically cutting down the time otherwise taken in traditional software development. The overall cost of development matched the company’s annual maintenance cost for the old product. We implemented the system within months, providing the client the much-needed freedom and flexibility, and allowing them to steer away from vendor lock-ins.
In essence, while the original application addressed the core problem, it was rigid, costly, and ineffective for the client’s evolving needs. Our reimagined solution delivered the required flexibility, enabling further customization and integration with the manufacturer’s operations.

Insidious Problem vs Inventive Solution
In the context of online shopping, product returns have long been accepted as an unavoidable part of the business. But our client, a fashion accessories retailer, believed their customers should be able to select a perfect fitting footwear from the comfort of their homes, and that would effectively minimize the likelihood of returns.
Problem Rethink
Trigent set out to rethink the problem. Is it possible to predict the precise size and contours of the feet online without the need for specialized hardware tools? Our application development services team posed the question. The solution that emerged was a mobile app that combined AI, ML, and Augmented Reality. Using the mobile app, shoppers could use the camera and augmented reality to accurately capture the attributes of the users’ feet.
The solution was built around an open-source algorithm, but being an industry-first, there was no training data to enhance the algorithm. Trigent therefore invested significant effort to gather primary image data – capturing images under varying conditions, including different backgrounds, lighting, viewing angles, and partial images. This exhaustive process of capturing, tagging and annotating the images was critical for training the Machine Learning model, and ensuring accurate size and fitment predictions. Our team’s laborious effort was crucial in delivering a precise and effective solution that eventually reduced product returns by online shoppers.
| Challenge | High product return rates in online shopping due to improper fit of fashion accessories. |
