Project Summary

Aurora FinTech approached Destro Technologies to develop a custom SaaS platform that could unify its fragmented payment processes and analytics tools. The leadership team wanted a solution that could evolve with the company’s rapid growth while meeting strict financial compliance standards (PCI-DSS, GDPR).

Challenges

  1. Fragmented systems: Aurora relied on third-party payment tools and spreadsheets, leading to data duplication and reporting errors.
  2. Scalability: As transactions grew, system performance degraded, and downtime risk increased.
  3. Compliance & security: Meeting PCI-DSS and GDPR standards was essential to earning client trust.
  4. Lack of insights: Management couldn’t access real-time data to track revenue, churn, or customer performance.
  5. Cross-platform experience: Aurora wanted consistent UX across web and mobile apps.
