Challenge

Zilch set an ambitious goal: launch a fully compliant digital wallet in just four months. Innovify was tasked with building the platform from the ground up, fast, secure, and ready for scale.

The project came with critical technical and compliance requirements:

  • PCI DSS certification and FCA approval, ensuring full regulatory compliance
  • Ultra-low latency transactions under 250 milliseconds, delivering a seamless user experience.
  • Successful integration of multiple third-party APIs, including GPS, Xero, and CashFlows

The solution is cloud-native, API-first, and built for scalability, enabling Zilch to launch confidently and expand across the UK market. With compliance-by-design and optimized architecture, the product is ready for rapid growth.

Aristotle needed a comprehensive modernization of its technology stack, including:

  • UI enhancements
  • Migration to microservices
  • Upgrades to charts, templates, and legacy components
  • Overall tech-stack uplift

The company also required developers strictly from the European Union for geographic and operational convenience.

Budget constraints limited traditional hiring, and an immediate, high-quality engineering ramp-up was necessary to keep development timelines on track.
