CheckBAC

Providing Blood Alcohol Content monitoring for court-ordered programs and personal tracking.

CheckBAC is a company working to prevent the harmful impact of alcohol abuse through its alcohol consumption monitoring products.

Those products include the CheckBAC Breathalyzer, a portable, Bluetooth-enabled device that provides accurate alcohol readings and uploads results to a supervisor via the app, and the CheckBAC Drive Module, a vehicle control device that prevents a vehicle from starting unless a breath alcohol test is passed. As the company expanded, it encountered challenges with the scalability and maintenance of its existing platform, which had been pieced together by various contractors over a long period, utilizing a wide range of differing technologies. Corrisoft recommended Slingshot to CheckBAC due to our proven ability to solve complex technical challenges.

Client Review

Slingshot understood our unique vision.

★★★★★

It was clear they had a high level of expertise. They came up with a solution that fit our needs, and we felt involved during the entire process. We plan on working with Slingshot again, and see them as partners rather than another software vendor.
