Verkehrswacht Digital transformation
Complex processes, easily digitalized
Deutsche Verkehrswacht e.V. is a club of over 60.000 volunteers dedicated to traffic safety training in Germany. It organizes and funds over 600 city- and state-level departments.
Requesting and receiving funds is a process that follows strict rules and formalities. While an application software was already in use, small departments failed to use it and preferred using paper forms via regular mail – which caused handling to be unnecessarily slow.
A new application was put in place to be used by all participants, on city level, state level, and national level. It supports users both when requesting funds for their safety trainings as well as clerks when auditing. In the end, requests are more well-formed and processed more efficiently.
Screen designs Insights into the project
From start to finish in five months
Starting at the end of May 2017, the requirements document was split into user stories that could be scheduled and worked off by developers. After only 5 months all requirements were fully implemented and the application was handed over to the client at the end of October 2017.
Data from the legacy application was automatically migrated into the new application, allowing a timely release.
Hosted on makandra's high-availability intrastructure
Availability and safety of all data was a major requirement for the client. The entire environment is running on makandra's high-availability infrastructure in a data center in Germany. By consistently configuring all components for redundance, we ensure data is safe and that the application is always available.
We really needed a new and innovative software to deal with our complex processes. We are very happy to be now using a modern, and future-proof web-based application!
