Check Gest – Audit Software

Simplifying procedures and empowering the company with an integrated, automated system to lower the number of work units needed to carry out administrative and control procedures.

Check Fruit commissioned the development of an integrated Business Management System to facilitate the different control activities by bringing them under the same document geo-reviewer and without duplicating data between different software.

Consultancy for Corporate Server Installation

In this particular case, we worked with the company’s appointed systems engineer to properly configure the company’s dedicated server, hosted on Aruba SPA, to allow the machine to run applications in a containerised environment.

CI/CD system

In order to simplify and accelerate the development cycle of the platform, a pipeline of Continuous Integration (frequent and automatic integration of changes to the source code) and Continuous Deployment (rapid and downtime-free delivery of the updated code to the production system) has been set up.
Each phase is subject to a preliminary check of the formal and functional correctness of the source code, in order to detect any bugs and/or weak points in the code as soon as possible.

Docker Containerization

The code is organised on a container architecture, where each functional area of the architecture is maintained within its own container. This allows both the processes isolation and their execution to be abstracted from the server infrastructure on which they run, making it easy to replicate the system for development, testing and debugging purposes. The entire cycle of container creation, code updating and management is managed through a proprietary system that simplifies and automates container operations.
