Problem at Hand
1.
Outdated & Unstable Backend Infrastructure
The existing backend and Node.js environment were outdated and partially broken, resulting in performance limitations and compatibility issues. The mobile application was built on an older version of React Native, which limits maintainability and future feature expansion.
2.
Complex Multi-User Architecture
The platform supported multiple user roles with distinct permissions and workflows. Managing diverse user journeys within a single system created complexity and led to an inconsistent user experience.
3.
Absence of Integrated Advertisement Management
There was no structured in-app advertisement system to manage promotional banners efficiently. This limited monetization capabilities and campaign visibility across platforms.
4.
Unreliable Notification & Email Automation
Push notifications and email workflows were unstable and frequently failed. The system lacked dependable event-based communication required for user engagement and updates.
5.
Subscription & Role Transition Limitations
The platform lacked a centralized mechanism to manage subscriptions or role transitions, resulting in inconsistent plan upgrades, feature access, and role changes for users.
Solution - Full-Stack Web & Mobile Modernization for On Target Romance
1.
Backend & Mobile App Modernization
The Node.js backend was upgraded to the latest stable version, and APIs were refactored to improve performance and scalability. The React Native application was migrated to a newer framework version, with updated dependencies and enhanced code structure to support long-term maintainability.
2.
Role-Based UI/UX Redesign
Role-specific dashboards and profiles were designed to simplify complex user journeys. Permission-based feature access was implemented, and event creation and promotion workflows were streamlined across both web and mobile platforms.
3.
Custom In-App Advertisement System
A proprietary banner management system was developed to provide backend control over ad scheduling, targeting, and tracking. Dynamic advertisements were integrated across platforms while maintaining optimized performance.
4.
Advanced Notification & Email Automation
The notification and email infrastructure was rebuilt using an event-driven automation framework. Real-time and scheduled communications were enabled with improved reliability and monitoring.
5.
Subscription & Role Transition Management System
Flexible subscription plans were introduced with tier-based access control. Seamless role switching based on active plans was implemented, with synchronized subscription status across web and mobile. Secure billing workflows and admin monitoring tools were added for full lifecycle management.
6.
Performance, Security & Scalability Enhancements
Database queries and API responses were optimized for speed and stability. Authentication and access controls were strengthened, supported by a scalable architecture, enhanced logging, and robust error tracking.
