Svenn’s old system ran on outdated tech, which made performance sluggish and updates risky. Deployments were manual, debugging took too long, and the architecture couldn’t support growth. To help them scale, we started by rebuilding their PHP-based app with Angular.
Over six months, we:
☑️ Migrated data without disrupting users
☑️ Modernized the backend, improving speed and reliability
☑️ Automated deployments on AWS, eliminating manual work
☑️ Added performance monitoring to prevent and fix issues before they cause downtime
☑️ Optimized storage and resource usage, reducing extra costs
As a result, Svenn got a more reliable platform that can handle an increasing number of users and new features without performance issues.
With a solid tech foundation, the platform kept growing — and so did our partnership over the years. With each release, we added new features and made existing ones better.
For example, a time-tracking module evolved from simple logs to a full work-hour management system with absences, overtime, and payroll integrations.
Manual invoice exports turned into real-time accounting syncs, and project management tools expanded with deviation tracking, document storage, and advanced scheduling.
We also launched iOS and Android apps so teams could manage work on the go.
By 2021, Svenn surpassed 1,000 paying construction businesses on a subscription model. We supported this growth by maintaining the codebase, improving system performance, and adding new features with every major release.
The platform had grown far beyond time tracking. It was on its way to becoming a full-service management tool for construction businesses. So, in 2021, the team decided to rebrand from 24onoff to Svenn.
