Case Study: CapStorm transforms its frontend and launches the Restore Wizard with Softjourn

CapStorm upgrades Angular across 4 major versions with Softjourn

CapStorm, a Salesforce data management platform, faced a critical challenge when their lead frontend engineer departed, leaving a gap in their team as they worked towards a merger deadline. They needed to quickly build a more intuitive user experience and overhaul a codebase with significant technical debt. They engaged vendor Softjourn, Inc. for team augmentation services to address these frontend development needs.

Softjourn augmented CapStorm's team with two frontend engineers and a project manager. The solution included conducting a proactive UI/UX audit, refactoring core modules, upgrading Angular across four major versions, and delivering a Restore Wizard MVP. The results were a dramatically improved and more maintainable codebase that was described as "unrecognizable," a successful product launch, and faster development velocity. Softjourn's work also resolved security vulnerabilities and helped sharpen CapStorm's internal processes.
