Over our 10+ years in custom software development, Lizard Global has maintained a strong track record across 100+ verified client ratings. We established our Client Review Blog series to give prospective partners an honest, transparent look at how we collaborate with enterprise clients. In this installment, we look at our ongoing web development partnership with HCS, a healthcare advisory leader based in the Netherlands.

HCS provides advisory services to Dutch employers on employee benefits, workforce management, reintegration, and disability management. To scale their corporate wellness and advisory offerings, HCS required a modern digital platform. We stepped in to design and engineer a web solution that empowers employers and employees to complete custom questionnaires and view actionable backend analytics.

How Did Lizard Global Deliver End-to-End Services for HCS?

We structured our engagement with HCS to cover full-stack web development, handling both the user-facing interface and complex server-side data workflows. Our team brought together a dedicated project manager, product owner, frontend and backend developers, and UI/UX designers to execute the scope. We focused on creating a seamless digital environment that serves both the end users completing forms and the internal team reviewing analytics.

"The main objective is to build a platform that will help employees and employers." ~ Yoeri Weekhout, Project Manager, HCS

To reach this goal, we mapped out user stories, designed intuitive interface components, and iteratively tested new features inside a staging environment. Our full-stack expertise allowed us to manage the technical pipeline smoothly, bridging business goals with sound engineering practices.

What Challenge Was HCS Trying to Overcome?

Operating in the corporate healthcare and benefits space requires safe, precise, and user-friendly data collection tools. HCS needed a custom web application where employers and employees could interact with specialized questionnaires. These assessment tools needed to collect sensitive user input and convert those responses into actionable reports for advisory consultants.

"Creating a platform where employees and employers can use different kind of questionnaires that are of value to the employers." ~ Yoeri Weekhout, Project Manager, HCS

lacked the flexibility needed for HCS’s proprietary advisory methodologies. The company required a tailored web framework capable of handling custom data fields, secure form submissions, and specialized data extraction pipelines. Building this system from scratch called for deep technical knowledge in secure data architecture and scalable full-stack web development.

Why Did HCS Choose Lizard Global as Their Technology Partner?

Selecting the right development vendor was a straightforward choice for HCS. We had already proven our technical reliability and delivery quality on previous digital initiatives with their team. Because we had established operational trust early on, HCS knew we possessed the technical agility and software architecture skills required for their new healthcare platform.

When enterprise clients work with us, they gain access to a cross-functional team of product strategists, UI/UX designers, and full-stack software engineers. Our prior experience with HCS allowed us to jump directly into technical alignment and framework planning, minimizing onboarding delays and establishing clear development timelines.

What Technical Scope and Architecture Did We Implement?

We focused heavily on engineering a flexible backend architecture that could dynamically handle diverse questionnaire formats and process outgoing data securely. Our developers wrote detailed user stories and built out a staging environment to rigorous testing standards before pushing updates to production.

Core Implementation Deliverables:

• Custom backend data framework for dynamic questionnaire creation
• Responsive frontend web portal for employers and employees
• Staging environment for feature testing and QA validation
• Backend analyst portal for internal data processing and reporting
• Scalable production environment supporting live user access

We leveraged agile development practices, releasing features incrementally so stakeholders could review live progress. By maintaining rigorous staging-to-production workflows, we protected system stability while continuously expanding platform functionality.

How Did Our Project Management Style Drive Success?

Clear communication and iterative adjustments defined our project management methodology throughout the build. While initial business requirements required time to align perfectly with technical specifications, our team adapted quickly to maintain momentum. We established open channels to keep HCS updated on progress at every step.

"The speed at which the first feature was developed, clear, and open communications were impressive." ~ Yoeri Weekhout, Project Manager, HCS

When requirement changes arose, our agile framework allowed us to pivot without disrupting core delivery milestones. We held regular sprint reviews, collected feedback, and refined user interface designs continuously.

"When they were really up to speed the new designs and development were arriving on a steady pace and agile when we asked for other and new features." ~ Yoeri Weekhout, Project Manager, HCS

What Measurable Outcomes and Results Were Achieved?

Our team successfully transitioned the HCS web application from concept to a live production environment. The platform now allows HCS to invite external users, deploy custom questionnaires, and analyze complex datasets internally.

• Live Platform Deployment: Successfully launched a stable production environment for employee and employer onboarding.
• Real-Time Analytics: Created an integrated analyst environment that allows HCS consultants to evaluate user responses directly.
• Rapid Feature Delivery: Accelerated initial release timelines by delivering core platform features ahead of schedule.
• Scalable Data Engine: Built a backend framework that supports dynamic questionnaire updates and seamless data extraction.

"We have a working production environment where we can invite new people to a variety of questionnaires and see the results on our (Analist) side of the platform." ~ Yoeri Weekhout, Project Manager, HCS
