3–4 months (Contract)

Working Hours:
11 AM – 8 PM

Experience:
10+ years

Job Summary:

Company uses ProGear 2.0 as a Unified Project Management solution that encompasses the entire journey of Lean Digital Transformation (LDT) projects, covering the project lifecycle, from the point of genesis as an idea to implementation as a project and eventual closure. It acts as a cornerstone for the entire LDT function to centrally run and track projects of varying sizes and scope along with the value delivered to our stakeholders.

ProGear 2.0 is a single large app built using
Microsoft PowerApps
. Over time, the application has expanded, leading to
critical challenges
in performance, scalability, and maintainability.
Job
Success will be decided
by the internal team's ability to work independently within the new architecture. Merely delivering documentation or designs
does not fulfil the engagement
.

Key Challenges:

• Application load time
  : 25–30 seconds
• First project load in session
  : 30–35 seconds (projects load in 5–15 seconds)
• Document upload/download performance
  is poor, especially for large files.
• Parallel development
  is not possible, affecting team productivity.
• Architecture is not scalable
  , limiting flexibility and responsiveness.
• Longer SDLC durations
  , affecting delivery timelines.

Our internal technical team recommends transitioning to a
modular, multi-app architecture
to resolve these issues. However, due to limited experience with such transformations, we are seeking an experienced external consultant or firm to guide and mentor us through the process.

system performance and responsiveness
, especially around app and data load based on historical metrics

Improve
turnaround time (TAT)
within the SDLC through architectural improvements and automation.

Enable parallel development and CI/CD to accelerate delivery cycles

Leverage existing technology stack and licensed tools to maximize ROI and control costs
