Cashless Schools
Project-Rescue for Cashless Schools
Vodworks rescued a failing .NET web platform for Cashless Schools, a Canadian EdTech/FinTech company providing funds-management solutions for schools. Vodworks stabilised the codebase, fixed critical bugs, and began shipping long-overdue features within the first month — all while aligning the roadmap with the client's commercial goals.
Challenge
A prior development team left a broken handover. Bug fixes were taking excessively long to implement, new features were consistently overdue, and the product was losing competitive ground. Cashless Schools needed an experienced team to take over quickly, diagnose the codebase, and restore reliable delivery without disrupting the existing product.
Solution
Vodworks assembled a blended team of Backend Engineers, Frontend Engineers, QA Engineers, and a Project Manager, and began active work within 3 weeks. The team conducted an architecture and codebase analysis to map bottlenecks and risks, delivered high-impact bug fixes across the .NET, HTML, and JavaScript stack, shipped long-overdue features within the first month, and restored release management and QA processes for predictable deployments. The roadmap was also aligned to the client's commercial priorities and upsell opportunities.
Results
Team mobilised and active within 3 weeks. Long-overdue features shipped within the first month. Revenue impact achieved through upsells to the existing client base. Customers immediately recognised the improvement and expanded their use of the platform. Cashless Schools quickly regained a competitive position in the marketplace.
Before engaging Vodworks, our development process was extremely frustrating, and so was our ability to compete and succeed in the marketplace. Bug fixes were taking excessively long to implement, and new features and enhancements to the product were overdue consistently. After a very short period of orientation, the Vodworks team not only understood what we needed, they were able to commit to a schedule that exactly met our needs. And they delivered! We quickly catapulted to a competitive position; our customers immediately recognized the change and with confidence expanded their implementation of our product and services.
