Barrett Values Centre (BVC), a global consultancy firm, specializes in cultural and leadership assessments that help organizations align their values and improve performance. With over 5 million survey responses and clients like Volvo and Unilever, BVC’s tools are trusted worldwide. However, their legacy system was limiting scalability, automation, and user experience, prompting the need for modernization.

“ I was blown away by their systematic approach to helping clients like myself to meet their goals. The great thing about Code District is that they do embrace industry standards in terms of methodology which includes retrospectives, so they are very good at making adjustments to what is working well and what can be improved with each client.”

BVC’s legacy system, built on Java 6, was outdated and fragmented across multiple platforms (Salesforce, QuickBooks, and LMS). Manual processes slowed down operations, while scalability issues limited the platform’s ability to handle large surveys. Lack of automation and data centralization further hindered productivity and reporting.
We modernized BVC’s system by transitioning to AWS ECS and Fargate for scalability and ReactJS/Laravel for an intuitive, responsive interface. Automation of invoicing, assessments, and agreement handling (via DocuSign and QuickBooks integration) significantly reduced manual workloads. A centralized database schema (using ENUMs and lookup tables) ensured data consistency. We introduced real-time dashboards and enhanced reporting tools for deeper insights.
