Executive Summary

FireHub, a fire safety solutions provider, sought a reliable software development partner to enhance and maintain their fire safety application. They partnered with Coreblue to address challenges with their existing platform and to develop a sustainable roadmap for future growth. Coreblue’s expertise helped FireHub transition to a more stable, efficient, and scalable platform, enabling them to focus on expanding their customer base.

About the client

FireHub is a forward-thinking fire safety company that developed a fire safety app to support fire risk assessors in delivering quicker, easier, and more consistent results. Frustrated with outdated and inflexible health and safety apps, FireHub’s goal was to create a solution that provided more professional and reliable outcomes for their clients.

The Challenge

FireHub’s existing platform was struggling with outdated systems and processes that hindered their ability to maintain stability and scalability. The lack of flexibility and real-time monitoring made it challenging to deliver consistent results, impacting their ability to grow and adapt to the evolving needs of fire risk assessors.

FireHub needed a dependable software development partner to manage their current application, enhance its functionality, and support the creation and delivery of a development roadmap that would ensure the platform’s reliability and scalability.

The Solution

Coreblue began with discovery sessions to gain a deep understanding of FireHub’s business and platform. This included conducting a detailed code audit to identify areas requiring immediate attention. The solution was implemented in phases:

  1. Legacy System Upgrades: Coreblue addressed outdated systems by upgrading legacy components, ensuring the platform was stable and up-to-date.
  2. Automated Deployment Pipeline: Coreblue implemented a fully automated deployment pipeline, streamlining the process and ensuring reliable and consistent releases.
  3. Real-Time Error Monitoring: To maintain platform stability, Coreblue introduced real-time error monitoring tools, enabling quick identification and resolution of issues as they occurred.

  • Ongoing Monitoring & Support: Real-time error monitoring tools were integrated, allowing Coreblue to promptly identify and address any issues. This proactive approach ensured the platform remained stable, secure, and ready for further enhancements.

FireHub transitioned to a maintained development solution, with Coreblue continuing to provide support and enhancements over time, ensuring the platform’s reliability and scalability.
