Their established account management business model has fallen under new peer-to-peer lending legislation, and they had to provide a parallel online interface for their services, with full loan history disclosure and discoverability.

Xequals was contacted at extremely short notice after it became clear that another provider would fail to meet a Financial Markets Authority deadline, despite robust and ongoing promises and assurances.  We were asked to build a new investment management and investor relationship system which connected seamlessly with their existing website in an impossibly short deadline. We like insane challenges, so we said yes.

Three and a half weeks later we handed over a beta which more than met all their requirements and, after thorough testing and a few tweaks, went live two weeks later. It featured a secure user system, fine grained permissions, multi-step workflows with complex automated reporting and a robust audit trail.

We achieved this impossible task though a preposterously agile development process and some intensely pragmatic requirements negotiations. This was assisted by a close adherence to preexisting Drupal functionality that we suspected could be easily adapted to the challenge.
