Improvement of a project management SaaS platform in Python/Django

One of our interns was given the task to improve the internally used project management SaaS platform in Python/Django. This platform can combine all data concerning a project. From milestones to documentation and time registration. The intern needed to improve the functionality of the ticket and time registration modules and to expand the functionality of the invoice module. So customers could pay their invoice directly within the platform.

Development of a CMS in Python/Django

One of our interns needed to develop a professional and strong CMS in Python/Django. This CMS needed to have some special, complex functionalities like a multi-website and a multi-language environment. This project required collaboration with a third party focusing on presentation oriented logic.
