Choosing a Tech Stack: A path of no return?
When making key technical decisions for your digital application, it is vital to do your homework. Once you've set that stake in the ground, it's difficult to pivot later and can be costly to your business. Without prior planning, it can be a gamble to not consider the correct technology for your business, as every organisation will require something different.
At Adapt, we've worked with a variety of different technologies, and have settled on a small range which we believe provide robust, scalable and high-performance web applications.
Two of the key technologies we use extensively are:
Laravel - a sophisticated PHP framework.
React - a powerful JavaScript library for building dynamic user interfaces.
We leverage these powerful technologies, as well as many others, to create digital solutions that drive success for our clients by:
Streamlining their operations
Aligning with their strategic goals
Making their businesses run more effectively
How We Use Laravel
Laravel is our go-to framework for developing full-stack web applications. Its elegant syntax and comprehensive feature set allow us to quickly build and deploy robust solutions that meet our clients’ complex requirements. On top of this, Adapt are experts with Filament, which acts as an accelerated Laravel framework.
Case Study: Streamlining quotation processes
For one of our clients, 3V, we developed a web application tailored to streamline and enhance the robustness of their scheduling process. We utilised the power of PHP within the Laravel framework to create a sophisticated tool that allowed for the efficient and reliable generation of various PDF documents from data entered into the system for each project. This allowed us to transform the client’s sales efficiency with a bespoke, streamlined web application.
How We Use React
React is our preferred choice for building interactive and responsive user interfaces. Its component-based architecture allows us to create reusable UI components, which speeds up development and ensures consistency across the application. React’s virtual DOM efficiently updates the user interface, providing a smooth and fast user experience.
Case Study: Advancing tech capabilities for sustained growth
For a healthcare client, PsychiatryUK we enhanced their central operational application using React (via NextJS). Developing their existing application was key for managing the client’s extensive stakeholder database of patients, clinicians, administration, and finance. React's ability to handle dynamic data and render changes instantly allowed us to create a highly responsive interface that enhanced longevity and reliability.
The Adapt team also connected PsychiatryUK to SPINE, the primary API for retrieving patient data via the NHS, and more recently to the NHS's e-referrals platform. Both of these enable PsychiatryUK to enhance their client journey, allowing for access, triage and acceptance or rejection of referrals that have been created by GP's around the country, significantly increasing their bandwidth to onboard more patients.
Tailored Solutions
At Adapt, we believe that understanding our clients' needs is vital to delivering effective solutions. Our development process is highly collaborative, with Adapt becoming an extension of our clients’ team, involving clients at every stage to ensure that the final product aligns perfectly with their vision and goals. By using technologies such as Laravel and React, we can quickly iterate on designs and functionalities, incorporating client feedback to refine and enhance the application.
