Streaver | Confidential Case Study

Transforming Auto Dealership Operations
‍A Case Study in Efficiency and Security

We partnered with an an leading auto fintech firm to revolutionize their data management, internal operations, and security practices.

The Challenge

Our client, a leading auto fintech firm, faced significant challenges in managing their vast amount of data. This critical information, the lifeblood of their business, was scattered across siloed systems, hindering decision-making and efficiency.

Their internal operations lacked automation, leading to delays and inconsistent workflows. Additionally, data security was a concern, requiring a robust system to comply with industry standards.

Our Solution

We developed a comprehensive strategy that addressed each challenge head-on.

Empowering Dealerships with Data-Driven Insights

We created a user-friendly platform specifically designed for auto dealerships. This platform unlocked the potential of their data, enabling informed decision-making and improved customer service.

Streamlining Operations Through Automation

We introduced a comprehensive end-to-end automation of the deployment process. This automation not only made operations more efficient but also strengthen the system's dependability.

Building a Secure and Scalable Data Platform

We recognized the limitations of the outdated technology and prioritized upgrading the data-driven AI platform. This replatforming was essential to guarantee data security, integrity and scalability.

Digital Transformation and Process Automation

We focused on digitalization and automation of internal processes. This resulted in faster loan approvals, unified data sources, standardized workflows, and overall improved efficiency.

The results

Industry Leadership and Measurable Success.

Our collaborative efforts yielded exceptional results for our client. They achieved a major milestone - a first-time SOC-2 Type 2 Certification, a rigorous audit guaranteeing secure data management practices.

This certification positions them as a leader in the industry, demonstrating their commitment to customer privacy and data security.

Beyond Certification, We Delivered Tangible Improvements

4x Faster Loan Processing: Loan approvals became significantly faster, streamlining financial services for their customers.
Deployment Process Automation: Implementation of an automated deployment process ensured operational stability and consistency.
Data Unification and Digitization: We eliminated data silos by unifying their database, leading to seamless information access.

Tech stack

We developed a comprehensive strategy that addressed each challenge head-on.

Initially, the tech stack comprised a primary Groovy application with satellite microservices crafted using various Python frameworks, and it relied on fundamental AWS services such as EC2 and S3. The databases were self-hosted versions of PostgreSQL, and RabbitMQ served as a self-hosted messaging solution.

Given the importance of data, our first recommendation was to migrate the databases to an AWS-managed service like RDS. We successfully transitioned all databases from self-hosted to AWS-managed, which improved the client’s reliability significantly.

Subsequently, we started a lengthy process of migrating from a single AWS account to multiple AWS accounts to improve access policies and isolation.

Parallel to this, we started migrating the apps to more mainstream languages and frameworks like Python/FastAPI and Typescript/NextJS to improve the ability to hire great talent and maintain the systems. This included a process and writing a complete end-to-end test suite for all systems, including automatic deployments, automatic vulnerability checking, automatic backups, and many more industry-leading practices.
