The Yonder – PinkRoccade Tax & Property Virtual Hackathon was a success!

Pre-corona time, we were preparing for our annual Hackathon, thinking of innovative ideas for our clients that could bring them value. Our development team of one of our long-lasting clients came up with an innovative idea and proposed it to PinkRoccade Tax & Property. Our team was elated that Tax & Property were just as excited about the idea as they were: clustering cases on the maps within the R&O Suite.

And then the pandemic came, and everybody was quarantined at home. But that did not stop the teams from realizing ideas. On April 25, 2020, Yonder organized a virtual hackathon with the R&O Suite team.

The goal of the Hackathon was to display all the tax objections registered on the map through the newly created R&O module, iBezwaar (iObjection). To track and identify regions with a higher density of objections, a new type of data visualization was added – Clustering.

For each cluster, a graphic chart is displayed, showing the total number of objections as well as the number of objections per priority (Low-Mid-High). Users can access the objections quickly via the map, through the “Open Case” option, which is available in the objection tooltip.

The Hackathon was a great success. We did not let the quarantine situation prevent us from holding the event. We organized a virtual hackathon where all the members joined from their respective home offices. And although we were all apart, we made sure that we felt like and acted as a team.

“The results are awesome! Please send my congrats to the whole team of Yonder and, of course, Rudy himself. Rudy already informed the local R&D team this morning of the items you created this Saturday. But now we even received the demos. I’m looking forward to the upcoming demos for future customers.”
