Clients Overview

Our client is a software solutions provider for construction companies, public bodies, architects, accountants, surveyors, engineers, notaries, building experts, and professional firms.

Project Overview

Our client, already known for their highly successful desktop apps, sought to evolve their product line for the next-gen workforce and modern workflows. Enter SyncroDb, an innovative Web API platform designed as an intermediate solution that brings cloud collaboration to the forefront. SyncroDb goes beyond typical data storage by creating a customized, intuitive file organization system tailored to the user’s data and client information. While many apps offer data storage, SyncroDb ensures your data is structured and accessible in a specific, meaningful way. The shift from local to cloud storage makes collaboration seamless, scalable, and ready for the future.

Challenges

  • Data Organization Complexity: As organizations grow, maintaining a structured and efficient data organization system becomes increasingly difficult, leading to potential inefficiencies and data silos.
  • Scalability Issues: Scaling the solution to accommodate a growing volume of data without sacrificing performance poses significant challenges, requiring robust infrastructure and architectural planning.
  • Security Concerns: Ensuring the security of sensitive data while allowing access based on user roles can create vulnerabilities, making it essential to implement stringent security measures and protocols.
  • API Access Control: Managing access to APIs and application data based on user roles necessitates a well-defined access control mechanism to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Compliance and Regulatory Challenges: Adhering to data compliance regulations (like GDPR or HIPAA) can complicate data management, necessitating ongoing monitoring and adjustments to processes.

Solutions

  • Effortless Data Management: With SyncroDb’s intuitive APIs, users can seamlessly add, update, delete, and fetch files or client information from their organization’s cloud storage, ensuring efficient data handling at their fingertips.
  • Dynamic Access with GraphQL: Leveraging dynamic GraphQL APIs, users gain flexible access to their PostgreSQL database and Azure Blob Storage, making data queries faster and more efficient than ever.
  • Comprehensive API Documentation: Detailed API documentation is readily available, guiding users through the steps to consume APIs and access data directly via Postman, simplifying the integration process for developers.
  • Robust Security Measures: SyncroDb employs Azure AD Authentication to ensure that only users with valid credentials can access data, providing a secure environment tailored to user roles and types.

Benefits

  • Customized Data Retrieval: Users can effortlessly fetch sorted data tailored to their preferences, complete with customizable filters and pagination, ensuring they find exactly what they need quickly.
  • Direct File Management: SyncroDb APIs generate signed URLs, enabling end users to upload and download files directly to Azure storage. This streamlined process offers a cost-effective solution for efficient data organization and storage.
  • Enhanced Security Protocols: Each user’s access is strictly controlled; users can only view their own files and clients. Admin users hold elevated permissions, allowing them to add and update users, as well as modify or access any client or file for comprehensive management.
  • Scalable and Efficient: The API’s capabilities support growth, making it easy to manage increasing data volumes while ensuring that security and performance remain top-notch, empowering organizations to scale without compromise.

“ProtoTech Solutions transformed our desktop apps with SyncroDb, a secure cloud platform for managing client data. Their expertise in dynamic queries and role-based access has streamlined our workflow and enabled seamless cloud collaboration.”
