Client Background
Our Client is an emerging AI-powered automation company specializing in workflow orchestration tools. Their platform enables businesses to:
- Integrate AI in their business operations.
- Design custom automation.
- Streamline operations with drag-and-drop workflow builders.
- Deploy AI-enhanced triggers for tasks like data extraction and notifications.
The Challenge
The Client needed to modernize their core workflow builder, which was hindered by three critical limitations in their legacy system:
Outdated & Error-Prone UX
- Users manually configured every automation step, leading to high error rates
- No modern UI patterns like drag-and-drop, cloning, or selective deletion—forcing users to restart workflows from scratch for simple edits.
- Lack of building blocks and no reusability.
High Customer Effort
- Identical data had to be re-entered for each workflow, wasting a lot of time.
- Customers (SMBs/enterprises) reported low satisfaction due to repetitive tasks.
Technical Debt & Scalability Risks
The automation flow system was built on an unmaintained JavaScript library, making it:
- Hard to scale: Adding features risked breaking legacy code.
- Difficult to onboard users: Lack of intuitive design increased training time.
The Solution: iQuasar’s Software Team Augmentation
iQuasar stepped in and augmented the Client’s team with Software Engineers with Node.js and JavaScript experts to:
- Introduce Reusable Configurations: Created default templates so users could apply repeatable settings in one click.
- Add Drag-and-Drop & Cloning: Users could now duplicate blocks (Alt + drag) or insert nodes between parent/child hierarchies.
- Fix Destructive Deletion: Added checks: “Delete just this block or all children?” to prevent accidental data loss.
- Modernize the UI: Implemented EJS templating and Redis caching for smoother rendering.
- Built default configuration system.
- Built input validation system.
Key Technologies Used:
- Node.js
- JavaScript
- EJS
- Redis.
