SmartCSR

Complete Vendor Replacement

EPB engaged us to build a simpler, faster, extensible application that could replace third-party vendor software, while being fully focused on EPB’s employee and operational process needs.

Internal Network Application

SmartCSR was deployed as a non-public-facing internal tool. It directly integrated with third-party vendor systems EPB relied on, while being available as a full replacement for those non-friendly tools to all VPN-connected machines.

SimpleTicket Integration

After the huge success of our SimpleTicket product took over as the tool used to manage internal operations and service requests, SmartCSR made it even easier for EPB to rely on it by having one-click creation of tickets for install, upgrade, and service requests while in the middle of providing customer service.

Private Ruby Gems

Built private, centralized Ruby gems that wrapped interactions and integrations with critical third-party vendor products in a way that could be easily included in other projects the company undertook on their own.

SimpleTicket

Real-time Help Requests

Allowed field service technicians to signal a need for help at business and residential locations from main office tech support when dealing with issues related to EPB’s gigabit fiber network.

Quick Project turned Infrastructure

After its first month, SimpleTicket proved its real-time handling of support issues provided a huge increase in productivity and efficiency in EPB’s support team. It was rapidly expanded with upgrades to other parts of the company and became the foundation of nearly all internal and inter-departmental support actions.

Cut Service Time by 50%

SimpleTicket took in around 2,500 support requests in its first month. We took averate tech support resolution times from around 24 minutes to just 12 minutes.

Ticket Management

Dashboards to provide quick, up-to-date reports on total support requests, how many were handled, elapsed time from ticket submission to resolution, as well as grouping requests to rapidly identify repeat issues for better resolution

Upgrade Now

EnrollNow Successor

Having proven the success of automating signup with EnrollNow, we build UpgradeNow to take self-service to the next level for EPBFi customers.

Extended self-serve capabilities by enabling Fiber customers to manage their own billing, make payments, and setup automatic payments via vendor integrations for previously internal-only capabilities.

Plan Management

Reduced customer support load by empowering customers to manage their own plan levels—upgrades, downgrades, and à la carte add-on management.

Service Scheduling

Freed customers from having to wait on hold for customer/tech support by making it easy to schedule field service at their locations, again making a customer-focused product out of a previously internal-only vendor software.

NextRoom

Patient Care Management

App operated on a room-based patient workflow: patients are placed in rooms, assigned to a staff member with procedures to perform to move the patient along in the care workflow to free the room for the next patient.

Staff Workflow Management

App enabled physicians and staff to easily see which exam rooms needed attention, who was responsible, and what next step of care needed to be completed. Step completion resulted in additional staff workflow movement & notification to increase patient care efficiency.

Multi-phase MVP

Development followed a 3-phase MVP-focused approach— proof-of-concept beta product, improved & expanded API and app capabilities, and final UX design & buildout of production app & web admin/dashboard products.

Web Dashboards & Administration

Web-based tools allowed office admins to setup care steps, categories, team members, and rooms. Dashboards provided easy ways to keep an eye on room occupancy, as well as care & workflow status.

Enroll Now

Consumer Frontend for Vendor Software

Integrated multiple third-party vendor software products— CRM, smart grid management, job scheduling, and more—into a single web-based checkout-style consumer product for fiber optic service signup.

US's First Gigabit Network

Helped establish and expand the nation’s first-ever gigabit-to-the-home ISP in Chattanooga, TN. Enroll Now made it easy for customers in the Chattanooga area to find out when service was available at their homes, as well as signup and schedule installation.

Easy Install Scheduling

Made it simple for customers to request the day and time they wanted to have fiber service installed at their homes, as well as choosing various installation services and upgrades.

Vendor Replacement

The Enroll Now product was so solid and easy-to-use, EPB’s internal Customer Service department stopped using their vendor’s software and almost exclusively handled new order processing through our web application because it was faster & simpler to get the job done.

Account History Sync

Daily import + sync for > 3M customer account records— including entire transaction history of orders, payments, shipments, and more.

Daily sync pulled custom pricing tables from a proprietary vendor CRM product and tied all pricing data back to online customer accounts in the store.

Online Order Export

All web-based orders had to be exported for ingestion into vendor applications for order processing and fulfillment.

Zero Downtime DB Sync

Daily sync of customer/account history, orders, pricing, and transactions had to be synced with web-based store without incurring any downtime.

Medium

Corporate Rebranding

Coptix made its official brand change to Medium in April 2009. This was the company’s new site at thisismedium.com. (Note: this is not the now well-known medium.com company.)

Satirically Copied

The rebranding & site launch resulted in a rather amusing and good-natured satirical copying when someone bought the domain thisislarge.com, and featured an exact clone of our branding, but with extra-large font sizes.

Portfolio Site

thisismedium.com served as a robust portfolio showing off the agency’s design and software development work.

Tech & Product Blogs

Medium’s software devs published a variety of blogs on interesting software, technology, experiments, products, and related subjects.

Mohawk

C++ to C# Conversion

Project required a complete rebuild of an older and overwhelmingly complex C++ application that included forms with hundreds of inputs in a single page that were too complicated and error-prone to be filled out correctly by factory employees.

Six-week MVP

I originally joined the team as a Project Manager, and found that the vendors who had been contracted to build the platform were failing to meet their obligations and timelines. Because of the critical nature of the work, I took over the development work myself and completed a full rebuild of the original C++ incident investigation/reporting software in less than 6 weeks.

OSHA Compliance Made Easy

I had to learn and understand OSHA’s regulations to create simple, easy-to-use, wizard-based forms that guided users through incident information collection and turn it into compliance reports for management to review, make changes to prevent further incidents, and prepare reports to OSHA.

Video-based Safety Training Integration

Designed, architected, and built an S3-backed video traning platform that was fully integrated into the Sefety platform. This included hundreds of hours of job-specific trainging videos and accompanying course materials that became part of new hire onboarding.
