Doctari Group is a leading health tech company in Germany, building a system to support and empower clinics, care facilities, medical professionals and patients.​ In 2021, they acquired Viantro, a matchmaking platform that connects licensed, pre-qualified doctors and clinics.

The initial goal was to integrate and synchronise Viantro’s platform, which we had previously helped optimise. Although similar, there was data mismatch and different mapping from one system to another. So, aligning the platforms and making data available, easily distributed, and used everywhere was essential. As well as taking on Doctari’s vision for a serverless application.

Our work with Doctari helped them remain as the go-to career platform for medical professionals and institutions. The successful merger of the two platforms made it possible for users to access all data in one place; making the search for medical matches quicker and more efficient. We also helped optimise their now-unified platform to be fully automated, from manual processes to payroll. And, with more than 80% unit test coverage, we could freely and safely refactor the code.

Here’s how we got those results:

1. Integrating familiarity

We wanted to make sure the integration was as seamless as possible, with as little disruption to how people used the service. This meant integrating Viantro's platform with Doctari’s Salesforce solution. To do that, we used Kafka, making sure we kept every scrap of data and optimised the experience wherever possible.

2. Data matching

Our biggest challenge was data mismatch and mapping from one system to another. We added new functionalities to the Applicant Tracking System (ATS), helped realign the architecture of the pre-existing platform with the Doctari vision, and organised components in modules – using lazy loading whenever possible – to create smaller bundle sizes. We also used query caching and data validation to have as few API calls as possible.

3. Smoother searches

By improving the back-end side and the overall user experience, we were able to enhance the system and reduce its response time to a quarter of what it initially was.

Doctari acquired Viantro for a very good reason: they were the most successful medical matchmaking platform in Germany. Thanks to our support, they were going from strength to strength. Read our case study to learn more about how we helped Viantro optimise their platform.
