Who We Are

Our powerful, cloud‑based software helps these organizations manage all aspects of their debt, cash, leases, and subscriptions, streamline financial reporting, and share information simply with others.

• Our application is a Majestic Monolith built with Ruby on Rails, React, and Postgre
  
  SQL. Our app is hosted in AWS, and we use Git Lab for our CI/CD pipelines and deployments. We use feature flags to allow us to continually integrate our code.
• Our front‑end is built with React, Type Script, and MUI React. We have an in‑house library of accessible components documented in Story Book. Most of the components are built out and being used in new development, and we are in the process of implementing them throughout existing parts of the application.
• Our back‑end is a Ruby on Rails JSON API that communicates with a React SPA (single page application).
