Unique Messaging Platform

Reimagining сommunication: How we helped Redkix become a Meta acquisition


Client Profile

Businesses struggle with a communication overload; juggling email, messaging, and collaboration tools often disrupts workflows. A unique solution emerged — RedKix, the bridge between email and chat for seamless collaboration. It achieved this by integrating email functionalities with a Slack-like interface, enabling real-time conversations. This seamless switching between methods fostered collaboration and streamlined communication within teams.

RedKix’s innovative approach attracted significant investment and ultimately led to its acquisition by Meta. This strategic move highlighted the growing demand for unified communication solutions within the enterprise space, positioning RedKix’s technology for even broader adoption.

The Challenge

RedKix offered a unique solution to a growing communication problem, but its technology stack was hindering its full potential. The existing Angular 1.5 codebase presented challenges in terms of scalability, maintanability, and performance. To address these and empower RedKix for continued success, MaybeWorks was tasked with:

  1. Migrating to a more modern and scalable framework.
  2. Implementing a suite of new features.
  3. Focusing on stability, scalability, and adherence to industry standards.
  4. Providing a foundation for future functionalities.

The Fix

Our team of two skilled developers tackled the challenges head-on, delivering a comprehensive solution for RedKix:

  • Migration to React+Redux: We led a comprehensive migration of the existing Angular 1.5 codebase to React+Redux. This involved an assessment of the code structure, thorough planning, and careful implementation.
  • New Features: We implemented a suite of innovative front-end features to improve user experience and expand functionality. This included a calendar, search and filtering functionalities, and notifications and alerts, all boosting user productivity and streamlining workflows.
  • Back-End Stability and Efficiency: We focused on proactive bug identification and resolution, addressing performance bottlenecks, and refactoring the codebase for improved maintainability, making it easier to manage and develop new features in the future.
  • Back-End Expansion: We developed new back-end features, such as integration with Google Maps API and Stripe, providing a more robust foundation for future growth and functionalities.

The Gains

Our collaboration with RedKix empowered RedKix to stay ahead of the curve in communication solutions. Here are some key gains achieved:

  • Customer Satisfaction: The implementation of a calendar, search/filter functionalities, and notifications significantly improved user experience and boosted productivity within teams.
  • Reduced Development Time and Cost: Back-end optimization resulted in a 40% reduction in development time and 10% reduction in maintenance costs. This translates to significant cost savings for RedKix and allows them to focus resources on strategic initiatives.
  • Future-Proof Technology: The migration to React+Redux and the integration of Google Maps API and Stripe, along with other back-end developments, provided a solid foundation for future growth. RedKix can now seamlessly adapt to evolving user demands and integrate new features with ease.

RedKix’s transformation serves as a springboard for further innovation in communication solutions. This project highlights the potential for collaboration between businesses and technology partners to deliver solutions that empower users and shape the future of communication.
