Our Solution

Our Solution

We used our Staff Augmentation POD model to provide WellCorp with a team of specialists who worked as an extension of their own.

🔄 Unified Data Sync Engine

Our Embedded-Systems / IoT Edge Pod built a robust data synchronization engine that connected with Apple HealthKit, Google Fit, and the Garmin Health API. This allowed employees to connect their preferred devices with a single click.

🏆 Corporate Gamification Module

Our UI/UX experts designed a sophisticated gamification system focused on team-based challenges and personal milestones rather than individual competition. This included departmental leaderboards, collaborative goals, and achievement badges tied to corporate values.

🔒 Secure by Design

The entire development process was governed by our SOC 2 compliant practices. All data was encrypted, and we implemented granular consent management to ensure GDPR compliance.

🤝 Seamless Team Integration

Our pod integrated directly into WellCorp's Jira, Slack, and GitLab environments, participating in their daily stand-ups and sprint planning sessions to ensure a cohesive one-team approach.
