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.

Challenges

The iOS and Android apps had syncing and stability issues

There was a lack of reporting capabilities and visibility for the admin portal

The SMS notification system CheckBAC was using was inefficient and very expensive

They had a fragmented technology stack, including multiple cloud platforms

Solutions

Stabilized the iOS and Android apps by fixing major syncing issues

Implemented new reporting features to improve visibility, such as showing skipped tests and detailed participant activity

Implemented a new, cheaper SMS system and optimized notifications to reduce costs

Consolidated their technology stack where possible to save resources and simplify maintenance

Hitting The Target

The project is ongoing. We continue working with CheckBAC to improve the platform steadily within the client's budget. The team focuses on stabilizing the existing system and adding essential features. The plan is to continue this incremental approach, further enhancing the platform. We’re committed to supporting CheckBAC's mission to save lives through proactive engagement, personal responsibility, and affordable solutions.

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.
