This month, we launched our NextGen platform. We’re excited to introduce you to GENBA™ 3.0.
After dedicating thousands of hours of blood, sweat and tears, this is an epic achievement for our team. As with any development project, there have been some hurdles to overcome, but also some wonderful new innovations and revelations along the way.
What’s really important is that there are some great benefits to be experienced by our clients, both content owners and sellers.
The main priority has always been to deliver something even more efficient, secure, and robust for all our distribution partners. We’re confident that’s what we’ve created, ensuring the quality digital games and software products we distribute are getting the care they deserve.
And we think people will love the new look too.
The added bonus is that we’ve managed to deliver a platform that makes things easier for us. And a happier team can only lead to an even better service for everyone involved.
So, we asked some of our Tech and Operations people what they think makes our new platform next level stuff. Here’s what they said…
NICK TSIATINIS, TECHNICAL PROJECT MANAGER
“One of the key objectives in the process of developing GENBA™ 3.0 was to expand our tech team to ensure an entirely in-house operation. It’s allowed us to have much tighter control of development, QA, client support and infrastructure. And, with the implementation of Agile working, we’ve been able to respond much faster to client requests and add new features to the platform more frequently.”
ANTHEA BUCKTHORP, 1ST LINE SUPPORT DEVELOPER
“GENBA™ 3.0 has been designed to really optimise user experience – from the pleasing new look and feel, to the enhanced detail and transparency of our API. User dashboards have new and improved displays when clients log in, making it easy to get up to speed on things like sales figures and product key data. Plus, our API now works with Azure Active Directory, providing an extra layer of security for our users.”
SAM LEWIS, OPERATIONS ADMINISTRATOR
“GENBA™ 3.0 can now build 10x more product promotions at one time, as well as providing me with even more advanced controls over discounts by currency and ensuring protection of price points. It makes my life easier and gives content owners that extra peace-of-mind that we can action their changes quickly and accurately.”
ARUN KALWAN, AUTOMATION TEST ENGINEER
“With increased automated tests carried out against GENBA™, we’ve been able to decrease our internal release time dramatically, with the tests running a consistent benchmark and checking for adverse code changes. The testing also runs on a daily and nightly basis, ensuring we achieve extensive test coverage of the platform. It’s helping us to be super efficient as a team.”
JARED HUMPHRIS, PRODUCT MANAGER
“GENBA™ 3.0 is a totally scalable platform, allowing us to make it tailored to our users. We’ve added new features, such as Backorder fulfillment, Blacklist categorisations and Reserve Key functionality, all of which enhance management of product availability for our retail partners. And, with product development now fully managed by our in-house team, we can be really responsive to suggested innovations from our partners. It’s what helps us to stay ahead of the game.”
