Skanz Modernization Case Study

Saving a Failing App Before It Collapsed

Skanz was on life support. A promising digital business card platform, but outdated tech made it nearly unusable—slow load times, crashes, and a clunky desktop interface in a mobile-first world. Customers were leaving.

We reverse-engineered a neglected codebase, optimized performance, and rebuilt Skanz as a seamless, high-performance mobile app—without disrupting existing users.

The Turnaround: What was once an outdated, sluggish platform is now a modern, lightning-fast digital business card solution built for professionals on the go.

The Surgery: Under the Hood Fixes

Skanz was running on Node.js v12—end-of-life, riddled with security risks, and unable to scale.

We upgraded the entire backend to Node.js v20, unlocking faster performance, better security, and long-term maintainability.

Legacy code was refactored and cleaned up, eliminating technical debt that was slowing down innovation.

The old Skanz was designed for desktops in an era where 90% of users were mobile. We redesigned the UI/UX to prioritize instant sharing, QR code scanning, and seamless networking—all optimized for touch.

Instead of using different cloud service providers to do the same thing, we consolidated infrastructure reducing both cost and tech debt.

With a modern tech stack, a streamlined cloud infrastructure, and a mobile-first redesign, Skanz is no longer playing catch-up—it’s leading the future of digital networking.
