Inbox is bespoke piece of software we developed for Pearn Kandola, a business psychology consultancy. The premise of the product is to allow Pearn Kandola to create a simulated office email inbox. Schedules are configured in the admin system, scheduling email to arrive in candidates inboxes at specific intervals during the test. These candidates then login to a virtual inbox to access these messages.
We developed the system using Symfony as our backend framework, with VueJS powering the front end inbox. This allowed us to build a well tested, expandable application that can be relied upon and expanded for years to come.
Some of the challenges involved in the project involved the syncing of different devices, taking into account not only timezones but the possibility of a devices system clock being set incorrectly.
