Locket (previous: HIRO)
The HIRO project, now known as Locket, focused on developing smart insurance solutions in the FinTech sector. Curiosum provided support for the technological framework through Elixir Development Services. The product created by Hiro/Locket aimed to streamline and enhance home insurance offerings. As an Insurtech startup, Hiro needed to accelerate the development of its minimum viable product (MVP) app and integrate additional features post-launch. Curiosum was tasked with the development of the Elixir-related scope for payments, which included conceptualizing and delivering the Elixir payments module for the platform. The objective was to position the product as a leader in smart insurance solutions. CSHARK selected us for collaboration due to our project experience and expertise with the Elixir tech stack. In the initial months, our team augmented the existing group of Elixir developers, and after the MVP verification phase—during which users provided feedback on their additional needs—we took on the responsibility of maintaining and enhancing the insurance platform built with Elixir and Phoenix umbrella apps. We integrated with major insurance providers via their APIs and improved the existing payment system. Additionally, we developed a reporting system and insightful analytics through a dedicated admin dashboard. We utilized Phoenix LiveView to display data in tables, charts, statistics, and information on inquiries, sold policies, smart devices through users, and the ability to add more smart devices and product categories. Our focus was on delivering value to our customer quickly by adhering to best engineering practices. Our team was deeply involved in the project, contributing to task execution as well as suggesting effective functionalities, solutions, and best practices for organizing the overall development team's workflow. The technology stack we employed included: • Elixir • Phoenix • Ruby on Rails • Postgres • Amazon AWS • Apache Thrift. We collaborated with them in a body leasing arrangement.
