About The Company

An NDA-protected service that gives citizens a convenient way to request and extract an official debt statement from a government body in a central European country. A regulated, government-integrated product where approval and compliance mattered as much as the build.

The Challenge

A direct integration with a gov system

The platform had to connect to a government body's service through its API: a regulated integration with strict requirements and little room for error.

Approval before launch

Running the service required formal government sign-off. The build had to meet audit standards and pass certification before going live.

900 pages of docs, none in English

The government API came with 900 pages of non-English documentation. Understanding it fully and closing the blind spots was essential before writing a line of integration code.

Fixed timeline, fixed budget

Passed the government audit and secured certification to run the service.
