What did Provis develop as a solution for Shugulika - and what was the challenge?
Provis developed all the features required by the client, joining hands with the company to collaborate on their mission to help job seekers in Africa. In developing the solution, there were three principal challenges for Provis.
There had to be integration with several local and distant banks to offer payment solutions for participating companies that wanted to place job postings.
There also had to be integration with diverse mobile connectivity companies to offer SMS alerts and other mobile data to serve candidates.
As a continent with several developing countries (like Tanzania itself), the connectivity issues in Africa were typically lean – and, therefore, mobile phone delivery of the portal’s features had to be catered for as the prime devices on which the portal would be seen and interacted with.
Overall, the major achievement of Provis was in providing a scalable portal for the client and a smooth user experience to customers of the Shugulika site.
