Subject matter

Digital certificates, smartcards

Starting point

Digital certificates and smartcards are security products with many small transactions: ordering, activating, configuring, renewing, revoking. The goal was a portal where end users handle these steps themselves, at their desk or on their phone.

Senva's role

The portal's backend and frontend, UI/UX design, project management and quality assurance.

Approach

The backend combines Java and Node.js. The frontend is a Next.js application that offers the same workflows on desktop and mobile.

A dedicated QA role in the team tests features before they go to acceptance. In a portal used to block and reissue security products, a broken workflow is a security problem, not a cosmetic one.

The architecture is designed so that further products and features can be added later without rebuilding the portal.
