The challenges were significant, but our expertise in frontend development and digital product engineering enabled us to deliver a solution that exceeded client expectations. We leveraged Angular for frontend development, ensuring a responsive, pixel-perfect design. The use of HighCharts libraries allowed us to create complex, interactive charts that provided deep insights into financial data.

Using Angular, we developed the frontend application for the CRISIL Wealth Tracker. Angular’s powerful framework enabled us to build a responsive, dynamic interface that met CRISIL’s exacting design standards. The emphasis on pixel-perfect design ensured that the application looked and functioned flawlessly across all devices, providing a seamless user experience. Our team’s expertise in Angular allowed us to create a highly efficient application, optimizing both performance and usability.
Development of Charts and Dashboards
The development of complex charts and dashboards was one of the most challenging aspects of the project. We used the HighCharts library, integrated with Angular, to create visually appealing and highly functional charts that displayed trends and financial data in real-time. These charts needed to be not only accurate but also intuitive for users, which required careful planning and execution. Our team successfully navigated these challenges, delivering dashboards that provided CRISIL’s clients and relationship managers with deep insights into their portfolios.
Web API Integration
Integrating the Angular-based web application with backend APIs was crucial for ensuring that the data displayed in the charts and dashboards was up-to-date and accurate. This integration allowed for real-time data updates, providing users with the most current information available. The challenge lay in ensuring that the API calls were optimized for performance, reducing load times, and preventing any delays in data rendering. Our team’s careful handling of this integration ensured that the application remained fast and responsive, even with large volumes of data.
