This customer is a Series C logistics company processing over 2 million shipments per month. When their VP of Engineering reached out to Konvex, the team was drowning in internal tool maintenance. They had 12 custom-built applications — from a shipment tracking dashboard to a driver assignment tool — each requiring ongoing engineering support.
The numbers told a stark story. The company's 8-person engineering team was spending an average of 15 hours per week per engineer on internal tool maintenance and feature requests. That added up to over 6,000 engineering hours per year — the equivalent of three full-time engineers dedicated entirely to internal tooling. Meanwhile, their core product roadmap was falling behind.
Over 10 weeks, the team migrated all 12 applications to Konvex. The migration was not just a lift-and-shift — they took the opportunity to redesign workflows based on user feedback that had been sitting in their backlog for months. The driver assignment tool, for example, went from a simple list view to an interactive map with drag-and-drop route optimization, built entirely with Konvex's component library.
The impact was immediate. Engineering time spent on internal tools dropped from 120 hours per week to approximately 20 hours — a reduction of over 500 hours per month. More importantly, the operations team could now make changes to their own tools without filing engineering tickets. Simple modifications like adding a new column to a table or updating a filter took minutes instead of days.
The VP estimates the total cost savings at over $400,000 annually when factoring in engineering salaries and the opportunity cost of delayed product features. But the qualitative benefits were equally significant: engineer satisfaction scores improved, the operations team felt more empowered, and the company shipped two major product features that had been blocked by resource constraints.
