Bringing Survaey in-house, on hosting in Earl Kendrick's name

01The challenge

Survaey started life as a SaaS platform built by a third party. Earl Kendrick acquired a copy to use in-house, but the system still sat in its original developer's environment. EK wanted it moved into its own, kept running and supported, and joined up with the other systems Gigabyte is building for the group.

02What we did

1. 01Migration — we moved the data across with the original supplier, as a lift and shift into Earl Kendrick's own environment
2. 02Hosting — AWS, Vercel, MongoDB and Heroku accounts set up in Earl Kendrick's name, with the infrastructure configured and monitoring alerts in place
3. 03Support — we administer the hosting, monitor the platform and provide technical support
4. 04April 2026 — report enhancements agreed with EK: a red, amber, green rating on each comment and AI-drafted report summaries

03What we built

• Hosting accounts held in Earl Kendrick's name
• Monitoring alerts on the migrated infrastructure
• Red, amber, green rating on each comment
• Severity badges and sorting in report views
• AI-drafted summaries of observations and recommendations
• Preview, edit and accept before saving

04The result

Survaey now runs in Earl Kendrick's own environment, on accounts in its name, with Gigabyte looking after hosting and support. Holding the platform means EK can develop it. The first enhancements, agreed in April 2026, add a severity rating to each comment, sort reports by it, and have AI draft the summary of observations from every comment and the recommendations from the amber and red ones, for a surveyor to check and accept. EK signs off the AI prompts and the rating thresholds before they go live. Next, Survaey connects to the systems Gigabyte is building across the group.
