PIM Platform Development and Performance Optimization

About the Client

NG15 Ltd is a UK-based company specializing in product data management solutions and design services for the construction industry. The company focuses on helping manufacturers and distributors structure, manage, and onboard complex product information, enabling accurate and consistent data across digital channels and trading partners.

The company’s PIM platform supports the management of product information and related workflows. To advance the platform and deliver greater value to its customers, NG15 Ltd partnered with Edvantis for ongoing software development and technical support.

Working as an extension of the client’s internal development team, Edvantis contributes technical expertise, proactive recommendations, and hands-on development support to help the platform evolve.

Challenge

NG15 Ltd was looking for an experienced software development partner to support the continuous improvement of its PIM platform.

The company needed additional engineering expertise to help deliver new functionality, improve application performance, resolve technical issues, and strengthen the platform’s technical foundation.

The main priorities included:

• Developing new PIM features that would improve customer functionality and usability
• Increasing application speed, responsiveness, and stability
• Investigating and resolving technical issues with minimal disruption
• Improving workflows for customers and internal users
• Strengthening the existing codebase to support maintainability and scalability
• Keeping development aligned with the client’s evolving product and business needs

Rather than engaging a team that would simply execute predefined requirements, NG15 Ltd needed a collaborative engineering partner capable of understanding the application, contributing technical guidance, and identifying additional opportunities for improvement.

Solution

Edvantis supports the ongoing development and enhancement of the PIM platform as an integrated extension of the NG15 Ltd development team.

The engagement combines new feature development, performance optimization, technical issue resolution, workflow enhancement, and continuous codebase improvement.

By developing a detailed understanding of the application and its underlying codebase, the Edvantis engineer can contribute beyond individual development tasks. This includes identifying ways to streamline workflows, improve performance, strengthen the architecture, and support the platform’s future growth.

Developing New PIM Functionality

Edvantis designs and implements new PIM features that extend the platform’s functionality and improve its value for customers.

The work includes enhancements intended to:

• Improve system usability
• Support customer-facing workflows
• Create a more efficient user experience
• Address evolving product requirements

New functionality is developed in close cooperation with the client’s internal team to ensure that technical implementation remains aligned with product priorities and customer needs.

Optimizing Platform Performance

Performance optimization is a key area of the engagement.

Edvantis continuously reviews the application to identify opportunities to improve speed, responsiveness, efficiency, and overall stability. These improvements help provide customers with a more consistent experience while supporting the reliable operation of the PIM platform.

The performance work includes:

• Identifying areas affecting application efficiency
• Implementing targeted performance improvements
• Improving platform responsiveness and application stability

This proactive approach allows the team to address current performance requirements while also considering the platform’s long-term development needs.

Resolving Technical Issues

Alongside planned feature development, Edvantis provides responsive support when technical issues arise. The engineer works closely with the client’s team to:

• Investigate reported issues and their underlying causes
• Implement appropriate solutions to minimize disruption to users
• Reduce the likelihood of recurring problems

This combination of planned development and responsive technical support helps NG15 Ltd maintain momentum while addressing issues efficiently as they emerge.

Enhancing Customer and Internal Workflows

Edvantis also analyzes existing workflows to identify opportunities for greater efficiency.

Improvements focus on streamlining how customers and internal users interact with the platform. This work helps simplify processes, enhance usability, and make the application more efficient for different user groups.

A detailed understanding of both the platform and the client’s objectives allows the engineer to suggest practical improvements that may extend beyond the original task requirements.

Strengthening the Codebase and Architecture

To support the platform’s continued evolution, Edvantis conducts technical reviews of the existing codebase and implements improvements where appropriate.

This work focuses on:

• Improving code quality
• Supporting long-term maintainability
• Strengthening application scalability
• Identifying architectural improvement opportunities

Rather than focusing only on immediate deliverables, the collaboration considers how technical decisions can support the platform’s future growth.

Collaborating as an Extension of the Internal Team

Close collaboration is central to the engagement. Weekly meetings provide a regular opportunity to review progress, present findings, and discuss recommended solutions.

The Edvantis engineer proactively requests clarification when needed, helping work move forward smoothly and keeping deliverables aligned with the client’s expectations.

By combining technical expertise with a solution-focused approach, Edvantis has become a trusted extension of the NG15 Ltd development team.
