The Challenges
Soutra Money’s leadership knew that entering a competitive digital payments market came with its fair share of challenges. They needed a technology partner who could help them overcome both operational and technical roadblocks fast.
Here’s what they were up against:
1. Aggressive Go-to-Market Timeline
Soutra Money wanted to launch fast to stay ahead of competitors. Achieving this required parallel development, quick iterations, and a reliable tech stack that could support speed without sacrificing quality.
2. High Infrastructure Costs
Early infrastructure setups were expensive and not optimized for growth. The team needed a cost-efficient architecture that could scale sustainably while maintaining performance and uptime.
3. Performance & Scalability Issues
During testing, servers couldn’t handle peak transaction loads, which resulted in delays and latency. Soutra Money needed a scalable backend capable of processing high volumes smoothly.
4. Need for Faster Development & Delivery
Continuous feature rollouts were critical to meet user demands. The team needed a development framework that allowed faster releases and reduced turnaround times.
5. Third-Party Integration Complexities
Integrations with multiple third-party systems, such as KYC providers, payment gateways, and telecom operators, were slowing progress due to coordination and compatibility challenges.
6. Regional Connectivity Challenges
Many users were based in regions with limited internet access. The eWallet had to perform reliably even under poor network conditions to ensure uninterrupted service.
In short, Soutra Money needed a flexible, resilient, and cost-efficient solution that could support growth and not slow it down.
The Solutions
DigiPay.Guru’s team began with a simple principle: understand deeply before building quickly. So, our product and engineering teams spent 15 days onsite with Soutra Money’s stakeholders to align goals, refine requirements, and prioritize the roadmap.
Here’s how we helped them move from challenges to results:
1. Infrastructure Optimization
We redesigned Soutra Money’s backend infrastructure for maximum performance and cost efficiency, thereby reducing unnecessary server load while maintaining top-tier security and uptime.
2. Scalability Enhancements
To handle high-volume transactions, we introduced database indexing, auto-scaling servers, and load balancing. This ensured smooth operations even during spikes in user activity.
3. Dedicated Development Team
We deployed a dedicated engineering squad focused solely on Soutra Money’s project. This helped accelerate delivery cycles, improve code quality, and keep release timelines tight.
4. Streamlined Third-Party Integrations
Our integration experts coordinated directly with external service providers — handling documentation, sandbox testing, and API alignment — to make integrations seamless and future-proof.
5. Connectivity-Optimized Testing
Recognizing that connectivity varies by region, we simulated low-network conditions during testing to ensure users could transact effortlessly even with limited internet access.
