THE CULTIVIST
TheCultivist is a limited access arts club, providing members of the club a unique opportunity to attend the world’s leading and the most exciting art events.
Platform help clients not only visit the best events and exhibitions but also provide education and personalized service.

 
Business Need:
Before reaching GRT, the client already had a solution built, but the elite and community-based nature of the service demanded a better version of it.
Cultivist board decided to create a new service from scratch, to provide the best experience to their auditory.
One of the requirements was a seamless work of the service on mobile devices. The product should feel like a mobile app in terms of performance and usability.
How We Resolved It:
Initial requirements
Initially the client provided us very structured documentation, with only a few unclear points. In a set of calls, we clarified all the requirements and helped to complete the technical specification document.
Technologies and approach
To develop this product, we decided to use Laravel backend and Vue.js frontend. These two frameworks are among the best you can currently find on the market.
Work was organized in sprints, with Quality Assurance reviews at the end of each sprint. When new functionality was ready to be tested, it was deployed to staging for the client to review and provide feedback.
The project manager was working very tightly with the client to make sure both sides are on the same page and agree on how functionality should work.
During development, there were several changes we suggested. They were communicated to the client, discussed, and implemented after approval.
Interesting modules
Cultivist as a big project has several very interesting and challenging parts.
First is tight Salesforce integration. Service requires to sync data to Salesforce receive updates from it. Doing seamless integration between these two solutions is always interesting.
Another interesting feature is showing content based on user location. Client needs to see pre-filtered events for his City and have the ability to check other locations.
One more challenge was to create a set of filters. Cultivist has quite a complex filtering functionality, that allows user to filter based on multiple parameters.
And last but not least, Cultivist show content based on the client subscription type. Certain user types can see only a limited amount of information and we had to make sure it works perfectly.
Final Result
As a result of our work, the client received a really great solution that fully satisfies their needs. Product work well in both web browsers and mobile phones is very easy to use and easy to scale.

We continued our work with TheCultivist team and are working with them till now.

Client Need:
The client is one of the UK’s top medical transport services, required to move from a limited MVP to a robust, secure system to manage patient transfers. Their goals:

• Centralize all operational processes in one admin panel
• Expand the system's features for better visibility and safety
• Replace reliance on a 3rd-party platform with an in-house solution

How It Works:

1. A dispatcher creates a booking in the admin panel, assigning crew, vehicle, and patient details.
2. The crew receives updates on a tablet app and can report progress in real time.
3. Admins monitor live locations, receive alerts, and can reassign teams as needed.

Key Features:

• Team Management: Build and manage crews (staff + vehicle) directly in the admin panel
• Real-Time Status Updates: Crews use tablets to send patient updates and handover notes
• Booking System: Handles both ASAP and scheduled transports, with alerts and notifications
• Reminder Logic: Prompts teams every 30 minutes to update job status if nothing changes
• Report Exporting: Admins can export data to PDF and Excel for audit or handover

Outcome:
A custom-built, scalable solution that gave the client full control over their transport process, improved response times, and significantly boosted patient safety during crisis interventions.
