Folio3

Case studies that span mobile, AI and ERP work

Folio3 presents its work as digital transformation carried out through software development. Its published case studies cover a wide range of work, from sales-team mobile apps and warranty applications to machine learning models, compliance portals and online stores connected to enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. The firm presents these projects as examples of how it helps companies reach growth targets through digital innovation, and it groups them by the kind of technology involved.

Mobile apps for field sales and warranties

One case study describes a mobile application for Colgate Palmolive that lets sales representatives carry out in-store activities, run surveys and complete compliance audits directly on their smartphones. A web-based admin panel lets sales managers manage retail stores along each sales team's route, and it includes a reporting interface for managers and executives. A separate project for SquareTrade delivered iOS and Android apps through which customers can buy a phone protection plan, register a warranty, view and manage their plans, file a claim and receive automatic updates on that claim.

AI for monitoring, inspection and compliance

The firm's AI work includes a cattle counting system that uses machine learning and live video from high-definition drone cameras, operated by the client's staff, to give an accurate count of livestock in real time. Another project processed images uploaded to a website and flagged those that did not comply with regulations. For Redica Systems, Folio3 built an end-to-end portal with an intuitive interface that automated the logging of a complete history of compliance data. The firm also describes newer multi-agent systems, including one for a hotel group that monitors guest reviews, drafts personalised responses and offers insights, and an agentic system that handles high-volume property and casualty insurance claims from first notice of loss through to payout.

Commerce and ERP integrations

A large part of the portfolio is built on Oracle NetSuite and Magento. Folio3 implemented a NetSuite human resources module for April Beauty to automate day-to-day HR and payroll work. For Auto Shack, an auto parts distributor and manufacturer, it provided a SuiteCommerce web store with advanced modules and customisations, which the firm says led to a large rise in online sales. BioSkin needed Magento 2 linked to NetSuite, and Folio3 handled data synchronisation for both the web store and the back office. AEye, a company that makes intelligent sensing technology for vehicle autonomy, received a NetSuite system covering finance, sales and inventory, and a healthcare and fitness business was integrated with NetSuite through Shopify.

Cloud cost and platform work

On the cloud side, one case describes a multi-tenant e-commerce client looking to lower its AWS costs. Folio3 deployed a tailored solution using Kubernetes, Terraform and kOps, and the firm reports that costs fell by half. Other cloud work includes a delivery pipeline and monitoring system built on microservices for Azampay, a Tanzanian digital commerce company developing products for the East African market, and a scalable, serverless-leaning cloud infrastructure for a nutrition app that lets users identify the nutritional value of food with their devices.

Agriculture, automotive and marketing systems

The agriculture work includes a suite of mobile solutions for Growers Express, a produce company, which the firm says was later productised as Truetrac and has since been acquired by FoodLink. Its automotive and manufacturing work includes an approvals app for the European research and development arm of Honda, designed to streamline the workflow of the client's operations. Folio3 also offers a marketing workflow system, based on templates, that automates digital marketing operations for global teams.
