Case Study: Bestinvest achieves a headless, API-first investment platform with Cogworks

Bestinvest audits 18 integrations with Cogworks

BestInvest, a leading UK online investment platform, needed to transition from a technically constrained system to a modern, headless architecture to support a major product relaunch and new digital tools. They partnered with Cogworks to rebuild their platform on an API-first architecture using Umbraco V10, Azure, and React.js, while also needing to manage 18 business-critical data integrations.

Cogworks implemented a headless Umbraco CMS and built a middleware API layer to securely manage all integrations, strengthening each one. The solution provided BestInvest with a scalable, modular platform and robust development processes, leaving their internal team stronger and ready for independent growth. The new architecture successfully supports sophisticated tools like the 'Grow My Money' data visualization feature, ensuring reliability across devices.
