How Cab Engine Empowers Clients with Umbraco Cloud

How Cab Engine empowers clients with Umbraco Cloud for seamless experiences ✨

Cab Engine revolutionized their digital projects by embracing Umbraco Cloud's Baseline feature, benefiting end clients greatly. Clients can now enjoy quicker launches, seamless user experiences, and easy updates with Cab Engine’s Chassis product. Cab Chassis is an internal product that all projects derive and benefit from, and it allows Cab Engine to reduce the time taken to build out websites, provides a consistent structure and framework, and enables the effortless maintenance and evolution of projects.

Baselines provide a handy setup for developers by making local development easier. They create different environments for development, staging, and live versions, and offer a central solution that takes care of managing code and content deployments, team coordination, and automatically applying security updates.

Cab Engine has utilized baselines to create industry-specific solutions, such as a hospitality baseline for hotel and restaurant clients and a commercial property baseline for floorplans and resource areas.

The baseline feature offers several benefits, such as a core central solution, consistent project structure, the ability to make changes to one central solution that can be shared quickly and easily, and the integration of the development environment, enabling both code and content deployment and sharing.

Which challenges do baselines eliminate for Cab Engine and their clients? 

✅ Productization: with baselines, Cab Engine empowered their growth in a product mindset, resulting in streamlined development processes and enhanced efficiencies that directly benefit their end clients.

✅ Reduction in repetitive work: baselines helped remove a lot of the core repetitive work involved with the setup and architecture of the site, ultimately reducing the time and cost of projects.

✅ Re-use: baselines drive code reuse and a product mindset, resulting in efficient inclusion of project-level features for direct benefits to end clients.

✅ Lower cost solutions: through code reuse and the creation of industry-specific baselines target niche sectors, Cab Engine can offer lower cost solutions to their clients that they were struggling to accommodate otherwise. New sites can be built in days or weeks rather than months.

✅ Lower maintenance: lower and easier maintenance from automated patches to central bug fixing and simplified deployment processes, allowing end clients to focus on what matters most to their business. 

Unleashing the full potential of Baselines 🚀

Cab Engine benefits from the baseline feature in several ways. Firstly, the consistent project structure ensures that their technical teams can move across projects easily and quickly without having to waste time getting up to speed with the architecture. This greatly increases code reuse across projects, saving time and money.

The streamlined product mindset allows them to spend more time and care over the baseline projects, and having the standard setup centralized helps ensure that they don't miss any little technical details between projects.

The baseline feature also encourages developers to follow standards and conventions baked into the baseline, which helps ensure consistency and reliability across all projects. By re-using the core baseline functionality, the developers can focus on the more exciting and interesting aspects of a project, leading to less rework.

From a business perspective, this means that Cab Engine can offer more features and functionality to their clients for a lower cost allowing them to focus on the more strategic and intricate aspects of the build process.

Additionally, the business and developers benefit from easier site maintenance, further reducing costs and streamlining operations.
