A platform focused on reducing business disruption and ensuring career continuity through parental leave for both expecting employees and their managers in global corporations.
Parentaly is a U.S. based company that supports expecting employees and their managers through the parental leave experience. Their programming includes both a 1:1 coaching program for expecting employees taking a parental leave as well as monthly trainings for their managers. Their flagship product, the Parentaly Toolkit, is available to all participants in the Parentaly Program. The platform serves as an accountability tool that provides both employees and their managers with a clear checklist outlining what to do before, during, and after a parental leave as well as access to a library of templates and resources supporting the leave planning process. The Parentaly Toolkit helps ensure that employees and managers are equipped to effectively prepare for parental leave in order to reduce overall business disruption for their global clients. The Commity team was approached to lead the foundational development and drive the ongoing technological evolution of the web platform, enabling it to scale effectively for a global client base.
For international growth, it was necessary to shift the existing technological base so that the platform could smoothly handle the demanding requirements of a global market.
With a growing number of clients, there was a need for a system that would remain technologically consistent while flexibly adapting to the specific processes and content of each individual company.
Working with data during parenthood requires a high degree of responsibility. The challenge was to provide an environment that emphasizes user privacy and meets the standards of Parentaly’s clients.
We enabled the platform with interactive elements, including checklists, downloadable templates and resources, and digestible video content. The architecture of the platform allows for Parentaly to seamlessly deliver their programming as well as manage custom content specific to each of their clients.
To ensure global operation, we deployed the platform to the Amazon Web Services cloud. This solution guarantees stability in different regions and meets international standards for the protection of sensitive personal data.
We designed the system as a modular whole that can be easily adapted to the specific workflow of each corporation. The platform is thus ready for a smooth increase in the number of users and rapid onboarding of new corporate clients.
Technological development of the platform has enabled Parentaly to expand smoothly from the US into European markets.
The toolkit has become a key employee benefit for around 30 leading global companies.
The new architecture has removed previous barriers and created space for unlimited scaling of the business model. Parentaly can now respond flexibly to new market demands and smoothly develop its unique methodology.
We highly value the continuity of our partnership. Commity helped us build the product and continues to improve it quickly thanks to their deep knowledge of our business. We especially appreciate their flexibility and ability to scale support up or down as our needs grow and shift.
