Cygnet

BearaBeara has truly been a cornerstone in Cygnet's journey, showcasing the transformative power of embracing technology at the heart of their strategy over the last 10 years. Together, we've harnessed Vercel and React Server Components to create a platform that's fast, responsive and offers rich product customisation. Every touchpoint with their customers is designed to be seamless, personalized, and engaging. But for us, this collaboration went beyond just improving functionality; it was about weaving a richer narrative into the Beara Beara brand and turning luxury shopping into an experience.

Launched in 2021 by Cygnet, Bankjam stands as a pioneering financial automation platform, harnessing the power of Open Banking to streamline complex financial operations that have long challenged their clientele. Originally conceived as an internal tool, this project presented the team with a prime opportunity to experiment with React Server Components (RSC) in a back-office application. This particularly helped integrate with 3rd party systems as dashboards could be held in a suspenseful state while the platform fetched the data. The tech stack includes Next.js for the frontend, Golang for microservices architecture, and CockroachDB as the database, Bankjam can handle thousands of transactions every second. This platform not only exemplifies Cygnet's innovative approach to financial technology but also showcases the transformative potential of integrating cutting-edge tools and frameworks to redefine the efficiency and reliability of financial services.

Put Us in the Picture, an e-learning application developed by Cygnet with Next.js and Vercel, stands as a beacon of inclusive education and awareness of the global goals for children. Launched to bridge educational gaps, it employs interactive Q&A videos, unlocking games and workshops that captivate and educate simultaneously. Its versatility shines in classrooms and roadshows alike, earning it the accolade of 'Not for Profit Website of the Year' in 2021. This platform exemplifies the synergy of technology and pedagogy, demonstrating how innovative tools can transform learning into an engaging, inclusive experience that not only informs but also inspires the next generation.

Parkinson's UK has revolutionized the digital presence of their local groups with a Next.js solution, seamlessly hosted on Vercel, integrating Storyblok CMS and the Everfund donation platform. This innovation, powered by Cygnet’s 'Headway' accelerator, allows for the provisioning of over 300 local group websites under a single framework. Previously, the disparate nature of individual site development posed challenges in cost, security, and brand consistency. The shift to a single codebase with 'federated' frontends on Next.js not only streamlines maintenance and enhances security but also ensures brand cohesion across all platforms. This strategic consolidation significantly reduces costs and time, leveraging a shared set of components for a cohesive user experience.
