Challenges

WalletCard was struggling with a range of foundational issues impacting performance, scalability, and reliability. The platform faced slow performance due to a poorly structured database and outdated tech stack. Frequent downtime, high cloud infrastructure costs, and security vulnerabilities further hindered operational efficiency. Additionally, legacy implementations — including inefficient data-tables and unoptimized storage — added to the technical debt, making it difficult to scale and maintain compliance at a high standard.

Key Problems

Performance Bottlenecks

The platform suffered from sluggish load times and inconsistent performance, affecting user satisfaction and operational efficiency. This also made it difficult for teams to access real-time compliance data when it was most needed.

Inflated Cloud Infrastructure Costs

The cloud setup lacked optimization, resulting in unnecessarily high operational expenses. Resources were over-provisioned and under-utilized, draining budget without adding value.

Persistent Bugs & Functional Issues

Unstable features, UI glitches, and unaddressed technical debt led to a frustrating user experience. Many of these issues affected core workflows like training record uploads and compliance tracking.

Outdated Tech Stack

Legacy technologies and poor implementation of components (like data tables) hindered maintainability and product evolution. It slowed down innovation and made third-party integrations more challenging.
