Challenge
BridgePay Network Solutions, LLC is a transaction gateway company
specializing in providing turnkey payment application solutions to merchants
and partners across numerous industries. The company’s comprehensive suiteof payment products aim to reduce the scope of PCI with simplified connectivity
to more than 30 domestic and international processors, five ACH providers and16 gift and loyalty companies.
“We help independent sales organizations bring transactions to banks, said Bill
Marshall, Chief Technology Officer at BridgePay Network Solutions. “Softwarevendors come to us to pass a functional certification for access to all credit
cards. Providing them ease of use and the ability to move forward with credit
card transfers is our goal.”comprehensive customer portal called
MyBridgePay.com to serve its variedcustomer base of more than 100,000
merchants and partners, slashingdevelopment time by up to 40%.

1In late 2012, BridgePay was looking to replace its existing payment application
with a more full-featured, visually appealing portal for customers and partners.
“We wanted to create a portal website for our credit card processing gatewaythat was aesthetically pleasing yet functional, enabling our customers to
perform any and all tasks required for processing credit card transactions in asingle location,” said Marshall.

While researching numerous frameworks, the development
team stumbled on Kendo UI® by Progress. “What stoodout primarily was the look and feel Kendo UI created,”said Jenna Ramsey, Chief Architect at BridgePay NetworkSolutions. “When you’re dealing with the presentation logic,
the more it can pop and distinguish you from competitors,
the better. Kendo UI has drop-in widgets we can configure
on-the-fly, based on what the user wants to see. It was theideal solution for creating the portal we had in mind, withina short timeframe.”“BridgePay answers to both internal andexternal security officers who perform
regular audits, and Kendo UI has passed
muster every time for the last four years. It
provides all the necessary security features
for a public-facing website that contains
sensitive data.”

While learning about Kendo UI, the team discovered
Telerik® DevCraft™ by Progress, as well. “We liked many ofthe DevCraft tools, and decided to adopt them to assist
with our development efforts,” she said.

“We have well over 100,000 merchant customers who will
benefit from the solution,” said Marshall. “During the firstphase, about 30,000 adopted MyBridgePay.com, and more
will be adopting it this year.”

Results

Using Kendo UI and several of the DevCraft tools, thedevelopment team at BridgePay created MyBridgepay.com,
a highly functional, one-stop portal for BridgePay customers.
Users can log in and perform any and all tasks associatedwith processing credit card transactions, including managing
batches of transactions, setting up billing and payments,
onboarding merchants and so on. Administrators can use theportal to define roles and access rights for users. The site isused in a variety of industries, including lodging, car rental,
dining establishments, utilities, retail and government.

According to Ramsey and Marshall, Kendo UI helped slash
development by 30-40 percent. “Kendo UI makes its owngravy—it just works,” said Ramsey.

The team used DevCraft tools such as JustDecompile™,
JustCode™, Fiddler™, Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC and Telerik
Reporting by Progress during the site’s development, as well
as Kendo UI. The site has been live with beta users since thefirst quarter of 2016, and will be released to the BridgePay’s
entire customer base later this year.

“Kendo UI makes its own gravy—it justworks.”

Chief Technology Officer, BridgePay Network Solutions“People love the look and feel compared to our older
application, which was written in plain HTML andJavaScript,” said Marshall, who added that Kendo UI madeit easy to add new functionality not previously possible. For
example, tool tips now appear over drop-down items whenusers hover over them, providing additional necessary
information that makes using the portal easier and moreintuitive. “Our lead developer went to Progress and learned
how to enable this function very quickly,” he said.
“Any time we needed functionality that wasn’t alreadyprovided out-of-the-box, we were able to customize an
existing widget or leverage the Progress community to findthe solution,” added Ramsey.
Another key benefit of Kendo UI is simplified compliance.
“One of the reasons we chose the Kendo UI framework
was its ability to handle and monitor controls, so oursecurity officers can be confident we are compliant with PCI
requirements,” said Marshall. “BridgePay answers to both“Progress tools reduced the amount ofwork involved in developing the new siteby a factor of three, and enabled us todeliver a comprehensive portal that is easy
