The organization pioneered the digital student safety movement in 2012 and continues to innovate by offering end-to-end student safety and mobile device management solutions for K-12. The organization’s cloud-based SaaS products work to improve student safety, wellness, and engagement by providing a holistic and unified platform engaging teachers, students, and parents. Headquartered in California, the organization’s cutting-edge technologies, combined with 24/7 support from trained safety experts, cater to more than 15,000 schools across the US.
According to studies, 80% of educational institutions use manual systems and processes to regulate visitor access to school facilities. The error-prone manual approach compromises the safety and security of the students. The organization recognized the need to empower the school administration with technology and tools that are reliable and assure safety.
With the aim of creating safe learning environments for students, they set out to develop a technology-based solution to assure student security. The solution needed to integrate with other systems, such as the School Management Software (SMS) and external third-party databases, for effective and efficient operations.
Companies are more likely to invest in AI-led technology to optimize business processes cost-effectively, offering lucrative opportunities in the human resource technology market. Additionally, strengthening an organization’s defense against security is a good investment, specifically for small and medium-sized organizations.
The organization decided to develop a Visitor Management System (VMS) application from scratch and take a leadership position in the industry. The solution warranted using technical and product management competencies such as Market Study and Research, Business Analysis, DevOps, Application Development, Quality Engineering, scalable Cloud infrastructure, and ongoing Operations. This was the primary reason for the organization to select Trigent as its partner.
The organization partnered with Trigent to leverage Trigent AXLR8 Labs. The flexible team structure for the project enabled the client to develop a best-in-class VMS application for students and school admins alike. As the project progressed, Trigent’s unique engagement model enabled the organization to scale up critical resources when required and ramp down upon completion in the following stages:
The product development was a highly agile and iterative process. The ninja team enhanced the MVP to scale the business.
The robust application streamlined, automated, and simplified the entire visitor-check-in process by providing a connected digital experience in the following areas:
For ease of configuration and scalability, the application was built on cloud-native architecture on Microsoft Azure.
The software architecture was built on the PHP framework, and tools such as HTML5 and CSS4 were leveraged as the UI Layer. The team also built a database leveraging MySQL wherein all the data captured with regard to adult check-ins through background screenings, facial recognition, and driver’s license scan, to name a few, were stored.
Trigent team was able to actively monitor application & service usage on Azure and proactively take steps to ensure the infrastructure spending was under control and met with the business demands.
Given its importance, the application is constantly monitored and tested to prevent bugs and downtime. Unit, smoke, and compatibility testing are performed to analyze defect leakage and test case pass percentage, among others. APIs are also constantly tested, leveraging Postman. Static code analysis & periodic Pen Tests are used to ensure the application was free of any vulnerabilities.
