Challenge
Missionary Memories had a strong mission but lacked a scalable, reliable technical foundation. Their existing platform was functional but outdated, with code that made it difficult to maintain or expand. Customers often faced issues when uploading content or organizing it into a book-ready timeline. Manual processes also slowed down their internal workflows, making it tough to meet growing demand or introduce new features efficiently. To keep up with increasing user needs and improve the overall experience, the team needed help stabilizing the platform and pushing forward on a roadmap of long-awaited improvements, without taking anything offline or starting from scratch.
Solution
Through our Technology Department as a Service model, Motomtech provided a dedicated developer and DevOps support to modernize and maintain the web platform.
Phase 1
Re-architecturing
We focused on reworking the core architecture to improve performance, making the system more responsive and maintainable. Our team tackled persistent bottlenecks, especially those around data processing, file uploads, and layout rendering for printed books. We ensured that users could easily input content, see it organized chronologically, and prepare it for publishing without confusion or delay.
Phase 2
Software Development
At the same time, we partnered closely with Missionary Memories to roll out key feature enhancements, expand backend logic, and implement a smoother update cycle so the platform could keep evolving with its audience. With ongoing technical support in place, their team could focus on the creative and emotional aspects of their mission, while we ensured the tech kept up.
