GridShark
GridShark emerged from a complex operational landscape where repossession and recovery companies across Texas relied on three separate tools — Clearplan, RDN, and Insightt — to manage cases, drivers, and reports. The founder partnered with CodingIT to design and develop a unified ecosystem: • A web admin platform for dispatchers and supervisors, and • A native driver app for Microsoft Surface devices used in the field.

The Project
GridShark emerged from a complex operational landscape where repossession and recovery companies across Texas relied on three separate tools — Clearplan, RDN, and Insightt — to manage cases, drivers, and reports. The founder partnered with CodingIT to design and develop a unified ecosystem:
- A web admin platform for dispatchers and supervisors, and
- A native driver app for Microsoft Surface devices used in the field.
The Challenge
Before GridShark, the team faced significant fragmentation:
- Using three disconnected applications made daily coordination inefficient.
- Admins lacked visibility and control over driver routes and regional performance.
- Drivers worked without centralized communication, switching between apps to handle cases.
- The legacy SOAP-based APIs presented integration challenges, requiring our team to build custom connectors and modernize communication between systems.
- There was no unified data layer to validate information coming from RDN and other data sources.
Ultimately, the client needed a single, scalable solution that could merge live tracking, heatmaps, case management, and route optimization — while maintaining strict data reliability for over 5,000 active cases across Texas.
The Solution
CodingIT designed and developed an end-to-end platform that merges real-time field operations with centralized administrative control — all within one ecosystem.
Unified Tech Infrastructure:- Built a modular web admin platform with React and NestJS, integrated with RDN’s SOAP API.
- Developed a native Surface driver app, optimized for live LPR scanning and navigation.
- Implemented bi-directional communication between driver apps and admin dashboard for instant updates.
- Added voice-driven updates powered by AI to minimize distraction while driving.
- Integrated real-time notifications for admins and auto-syncs for RDN case updates.
- Introduced live driver tracking and geofence-based automation to trigger case updates when a vehicle enters a specific zone.
- Designed a multi-layered map interface with toggles for heatmaps, live driver positions, historic paths, and VIP cases.
- Created custom heatmaps combining RDN and CSV datasets to ensure source validation and data accuracy.
- Full visibility into the workforce, with admins able to assign territories, monitor performance, and manage case loads from one interface.
- The system supports live and historical playback, enabling supervisors to audit activities or verify events.
Results
- Unified operations across Clearplan, RDN, and Insightt into a single, fully owned platform.
- 5,000+ active cases managed seamlessly across Texas regions.
- Automated case updates now pushed directly to RDN API when drivers pass through case zones.
- Client now owns a unique, commercial-grade solution ready to scale and license to other operators.
- Ongoing partnership: CodingIT continues to evolve GridShark with new integrations and predictive analytics.
