Ensign
Ensign is an intelligence and agile compliance program which helps companies to reduce deceptive sales practices to take over accounts. It offers a certification program for Direct Sales Reps and insightful training programs. We worked with Ensign (USA) to build compliance software for home security sales representative for completing their compliance guidelines online. This platform was later acquired by a NorthStar Alarm, leading American home security and automation company. We helped both Ensign and Northstar during this transition for technology and knowledge transfer.
Wolfmatrix developed the Trekking mobile app for us; I have always enjoyed speaking with the Wolfmatrix team about product ideas. For example, I remember a meeting where we discussed adding a map feature. They asked me some tough questions to help me understand why this feature was important. They inquired if investing in other functionality would be the wiser choice ROI-wise. I hadn’t thought the idea through very well, but I did by the end of our conversation. And that is just one example of the level of genuineness you can expect from professional team members like Wolfmatrix.

We were looking for a cloud-based fleet management software, but we couldn’t find one which meets all of our needs and requirements. As such, there were questions like, “Can we build this ourselves? If not, how will it match what we currently have in place?” Wolfmatrix helped by building an app to help reduce paperwork and time wastage for all involved in transport operations. As a result, the WCL group is now more efficient and has better time management!
Thank you, Wolfmatrix!
WCL Fleet Management System
The Wolfmatrix team is excellent at what it does. Their estimates are always correct, and there are never any cost overruns. So, from a guy who has worked closely with these guys, you may take that they are not your average “Oh yes, of course, it can be built” technology firm. So they’re the “Should it be built?” tech company. And this is where they differ from their competitors. So I’ll be eternally grateful to Wolfmatrix for all they’ve done for Ensign. If you want thoughtful and upfront people who will bring your concept to the next level, go with them.

The Challenge
Development of compliance software for home security sales representative
Ensign was looking into developing a compliance software for home security sales representative. But the lack of technical skill and knowledge was proving to be problem in developing a software. So, they were looking for an outsourcing company as an alternative. However, the lack of quality, experience and communication they couldn’t start their project with any other outsourcing company. But every company needs to abide certain laws, regulations and standards and with the help of this system, the users would be able to complete their compliance guidelines online. So, they knew there is a market for this product and couldn’t let go of this idea easily. Finally, through networks and connections they found us and gave us a call.

The Solution
An end-to-end cloud-based fleet management software for WCL to manage their fleet business

Product Strategy and Planning

- After the requirement was finalized, we started breaking it down and estimated the project’s timeline and the required level of effort and resources.
UI/UX Design
- Created an easy-to-use and navigate UI/UX design that worked on all the devices that their clients could potentially use.
Application Development
