The Challenges

Trimble’s journey with Sigma Solve has been long and transformative. When Trimble took over e-Builder, it wanted to transform the entire legacy system into a contemporary one. However, Trimble sought e-Builder to continue to function with incremental changes until the new e-Builder replaced the old one. Sigma Solve navigated through a complex process of selecting a technology mix while building a team that can fix the old e-builder and build the new one simultaneously.

  • Constituting a team that manages the simultaneous development processes for an old and a new e-Builder required a detailed strategy and a specific timeline.
  • The team juggled between technologies and integrated each module to perfection with the highest code quality to eliminate vulnerabilities.
  • Aligning primary programming precepts, Kanban concepts, and e-Builder’s development methodology was time-consuming and complex.
  • Custom software development requires an effective communication channel, an extended team, and continuous feedback for collaboration and cohesive development.
  • Sigma Solve was required to optimize the development process continuously to manage the development time frame and throughput in Kanban.
  • Developing and delivering processes required a consistent CI/CD pipeline aligned with agile development practices.
  • Sigma Solve wanted to keep the technical debt at a minimum level to prevent the system from getting bulky, increasing loading time.

The Solutions

Sigma Solve strategized and standardized a collaboration framework between Trimble’s tech experts, product managers, and QA leads and our developers, subject experts, industry experts, and automation engineers. This technology mix required us to build a highly experienced and dedicated team that proficiently follows Kanban methodology and manages the development process. Our dedicated team leveraged VB.NET, C#, and Angular JS to build one-of-a-kind software that efficiently manages construction projects.

  • Sigma Solve recently integrated DocuSign and AdobeSign to meet compliance demands and enable digitally signed legal documents.
  • e-Builder requires continued performance evaluation to ensure consistency. Sigma Solve’s dedicated team ensures the highest performance levels every time.
  • Process module enhancement is the core responsibility. Sigma Solve constantly enhances the module with renewed and innovative capabilities.
  • Sigma Solve delivers solutions that give complete control, ensuring efficiency, low downtime, and a competitive edge.
  • A thorough development life cycle was strategized following lean principles & Kanban.
  • Each team member worked on Kanban stories until completion, ensuring that the storyboard progressed smoothly and workflow was maintained on a daily basis.
  • The intertwined development process required internal bugs and customer-identified defects to be resolved in a specific time frame and solved thoroughly.

The Outcomes

Sigma Solve took over the e-Builder for incremental development in 2019 and concurrently reduced glitches and defects to a negligible level in two years. Simultaneous development of the new e-Builder helped Sigma Solve identify defects and avoid making the same ones in the new one.

Maintaining the peak performance of the processing module saves hefty money and efforts of the core team.

Consistent bug removal ensures negligible downtime, ensuring the highest productivity for e-Builder clients.

Sigma Solve helped e-Builder reduce their CFDs in the first year by 31% and in the second year by 73%.

Sigma Solve completed 1772 tickets in the last two years and nine months. (including CFDs and new enhancements)

Our monthly output for e-Builder tickets averages 50-55 tickets, including research, development, regression testing (QA), unit testing, and QA automation.

Improved efficiency, functionalities, and collaboration in e-Builder helped Trimble reduce mistakes, improve documentation, and enhance customer support.

Sigma Solve has been a great partner to Wild Coffee Marketing and Wild Coffee Content. The dev for our new business is on time and on budget and so is the work we bring the Sigma Solve team in for for our other clients.

Salomon Wancier

SigmaSolve has done WHAT they said they would do, WHEN they said they would do it, and for the quoted and agreed upon PRICE they said they would do it for!

SigmaSolve has been very cooperative, very timely, and very professional while building my Site AND with much needed updates and changes since the Site went Live.

I don't know how to say this without it reading like a sales pitch, but if you need a web development company you can trust to build and maintain your site correctly, THE FIRST TIME, and for a very reasonable price - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you contact SigmaSolve! ...I found myself wishing I had.

Larry Hillis

Cardwave used Sigma Solve to help us develop a new data recovery service website using the 3D cart platform. This required a lot of back end work being undertaken for a software and we did not have the resource or experience of 3D Cart in house.

Biren was extremely knowledgeable and patient as we did change the specs and requirements at certain points during the project. It was very much a learning process for us in setting up the site and he was always great at giving us solutions to our problems. He carried out the work efficiently and the turnaround was really quick when we asked him to do specific tasks. I would highly recommend Sigma Solve and would definitely use them again on future projects.

Paul Norbury

It's not easy to find dev talent help that can get the job done let a lone for a good price. Sigma did that and it was great. They got the job DONE! Communication isn't always perfect and there can be delays (they're managing multiple projects) but I'll take that with good people, competency, priced for value and seeing the job thru to the finish any day in dev work.

Jono Castleton

Sigma Solve is our go-to custom programming service. We email them with what we'd like to have programmed. They email back a realistic quote. We say "Do it". And they do the programming... And the programming WORKS.

Eben Brown

The City of Tacoma awarded Sigma Solve a few of the Shopping Websites redesign projects. Their team worked with our team throughout all of the phases of the project, that included design, creation, testing and implementation.

Mike Hammoud

Sigma Solve Inc. delivered exactly what was needed in a timely manner. The team worked hard, going above and beyond to meet the client's needs. Their strong sense of professionalism and top-notch customer service paved the way for a seamless and successful collaboration.

Christine Kevorkian

We used Sigma Solve to create our eCommerce website and to perform SEO on two websites. On the website, they delivered the finished product on time, and they have responded quickly every time that we decide to make changes to the site.

I have been very pleased with the SEO work. You could not find either one of my companies on a Google search. Now we pop up on the first page on a variety of searches using Google, Bing, or Yahoo. Oftentimes, we are the #1 or #2 non-advertising hit.

Russ Martin

While the engagement is ongoing, the first version's UI/UX design has received great feedback from the market. The team is accessible, which streamlines communication to support successful collaboration. Moreover, they are trustworthy, diligent, and creative.

Nikolas Tichy

Amazing support services! Great response time, and very thorough. I have worked with other internet service companies in the past, where communication and knowledge was extremely poor. Sigma Solve has been been an awesome company to work with!
