About the client

The client operates in the news and broadcasting industry across the United States and the Czech Republic. Their business depends on receiving large volumes of news data from international agencies and distributing it internally in a structured and timely manner. The system is used daily by editorial and operational teams to manage incoming information and support decision-making.

Client’s problem

The client approached CompleteSoft with a clear concern: despite having strong operational expertise, they were overwhelmed by the rapidly increasing volume of logistics data, documentation, and manual communication between departments and transport partners.

Their business faced several constraints:

  • High load of manual document processing (invoices, CMR, B/L, customs docs)
  • Frequent errors due to repetitive manual tasks
  • Slow communication between operators, drivers, and transport corridors
  • Lack of real-time visibility into cargo status
  • An inability to scale operations without hiring additional staff

The company wanted to reduce operational costs, speed up document workflows, and automate routine logistics planning.

Business challenge

The client needed to replace and modernize an outdated infrastructure that could no longer handle growing data volumes and evolving workflows. News was coming in through multiple channels, including satellite feeds and the internet, but processing and distribution were not efficient enough.

Key issues included:

  • Lack of a centralized and scalable system for aggregating incoming data
  • Manual or inconsistent filtering and routing of news content
  • Outdated client application (dating back to 1997) that limited productivity
  • No flexible web-based access for broader internal use
  • Need to align data flow with complex internal business processes

Stack

CompleteSoft’s solution

CompleteSoft designed and implemented a multi-component platform consisting of a central server, a desktop client, and a web client.

The core of the system is a centralized news aggregation server built with ASP.NET and MS SQL, capable of receiving data from multiple external sources. Incoming messages are processed, filtered, and distributed based on configurable business rules.

A new desktop client was developed using WinForms to replace the legacy application. It provides employees with a reliable tool for editing and managing news content.

To extend accessibility, a web client was introduced. It allows users to view news and internal messages, apply filters, and receive notifications without relying solely on the desktop application.
