About The Customer
Harrington Starr is a fintech recruitment giant experiencing rapid international growth. The company operates in the financial services technology and sales recruitment sector, with a presence in EMEA and North America. Harrington Starr was looking for a website that could keep pace with its fast-moving business and offer advanced functionality to enhance the user experience. The company required a solution that would not quickly become obsolete in terms of technology, integrations, security, and compliance. A critical requirement for Harrington Starr was the ability to integrate with Bullhorn.
The Challenge
Harrington Starr, a fintech recruitment giant, was facing challenges with its outdated website. The website had not kept pace with the company's rapid international growth and offered only basic functionality. It had essentially become a holding page with a rudimentary job search and a few blogs, lacking the exciting video and content that the company planned to reflect its brand. The website also lacked the necessary functionality to enhance the user experience. The company was in need of a website that could grow with its business and would not quickly become obsolete in terms of technology, integrations, security, and compliance. A critical requirement for Harrington Starr was that the technology could support integration with Bullhorn.
The Solution
Harrington Starr collaborated with Volcanic and Bullhorn to build a state-of-the-art flagship website integrated with its CRM to deliver an outstanding user experience. Volcanic's software-as-a-service platform was chosen for its efficiency, continual deployment of new releases, and its focus on recruitment technology. The platform's integration capability and strategic partnership approach were also key factors in the decision. The Volcanic platform offered valuable insights into candidate behavior on site through its dashboard-driven reporting function. This data could be used to inform the next marketing campaign. The reports also showed which advertisements and jobs were performing the best, providing transparency over deals closed and creating a competitive edge for the recruiters.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Revolutionizing Construction Equipment Rental: A Case Study on ProsRent and ENO8
ProsRent, a startup that won the 'Best Financial Opportunity' and 'Best Pitch' at CodeLaunch 2016, aimed to revolutionize the way construction professionals source and rent heavy equipment. In the construction industry, project managers and contractors typically rent heavy equipment from supply companies. However, predicting inventory can be challenging, and finding the required equipment at the right time and place can be a hassle. If the preferred vendor doesn't have the required equipment, it results in wasted time and money in searching for it, often leading to higher costs due to non-preferred rates and increased delivery costs if the vendor is located far from the job site. Suppliers, on the other hand, desired access to a wider base of trusted renters that they didn't have to vet themselves and wanted to offer dynamic rental pricing based on demand and availability in their market. ProsRent's challenge was to produce a minimum viable product that was fast and first to market but also strong enough to engender loyalty and repeat business from the target market.

IoT Solution Enhances Comfort and Energy Efficiency at Apple Valley Commons Office
Apple Valley Commons, a mixed-use office complex built in 1986, was facing significant comfort and energy efficiency challenges. The building, which houses a variety of businesses, was experiencing extreme temperature imbalances, causing discomfort to employees and clients. Despite outdoor temperatures being consistently high during summers, occupants had to use space heaters to keep warm. The electricity bills from the constant operation of the heat pump were exorbitant. The building's elevator room on the roof was also overheating, reaching temperatures of 130 to 140 degrees, causing the elevator equipment to shut down. The building's existing controls solution did not provide a front end for diagnostics or remote control. The building management was seeking a solution that could address these temperature issues, improve occupant comfort, reduce operational costs, and increase building visibility.

EE, even after its merger with BT, was operating its ERP estate on legacy infrastructure, hosted on the premises of a third-party supplier. This outdated system resulted in a volume-based operational model, higher time to market, longer delivery cycles, and unsatisfactory customer experience. BT recognized the need for a strategic transformation of these aging ERP systems and sought a partner who could proactively manage application services. The partner was also expected to handle development requirements associated with application management services, drive accountability, and ownership with a time and target-driven transformation of these services. BT's primary goals were to improve customer experience, reduce cycle time, and measure these improvements with precision.
