Empowering Gold Industry Growth
Transforming World Gold Council's Software Solutions
Project Overview
Since 2021, Forward Digital has been instrumental in modernising the software infrastructure for the World Gold Council, the esteemed authority driving market development for the gold industry.
Our central task has been a large-scale greenfield project, employing our expertise in contemporary software practices to revamp their suite of internal tools, thereby enhancing efficiency and performance across the organisation.
Problem
The World Gold Council grappled with a disjointed and antiquated software architecture, resulting in internal and external web applications suffering from prolonged loading times and excessively large bundle sizes.
This situation hampered their operational efficiency, impairing both internal processes and external interactions.
Solution
Forward Digital delivered a meticulously designed, component-based solution, driven by a coherent design system that adheres to industry-leading standards.
This modernised approach streamlined the World Gold Council's software infrastructure, enhancing user experience and boosting overall operational efficiency.
