How to quickly move to a new
GO registry solution
GO registry solution
Unicorn's Certigy Registry product has been delivered to Croatian company HROTE to cover the complete agenda of issuing body organization for Guarantees of Origin (EECS GO) - from registration of production devices, a gathering of metered data, issuing of certificates, certificate transfers within the country and internationally via AIB Hub, up to the cancellation of certificates. The entire delivery was completed in less than two months, including the data migration from the old solution.
Initial State
Before Certigy Registry was delivered to HROTE, they were using an old solution tendered in 2015, which was functionally working, but from the user perspective, was not flexible neither user friendly.
The screens provided only fixed, pre-configured views on the data without any flexibility for the user and complex filters had to set every time the user entered a screen. Thus, every operation performed in the system, especially tasks like regulatory reporting, was highly time consuming or even not possible without involvement of the supplier.
Furthermore, due to the used technologies the solution looked outdated and was not capable of providing any modern integration capabilities.

Our Solution
Certigy Registry is a certificate management system for issuing and tracking of Guarantees of Origin for commodities. It is a flexible solution supporting multiple certificate schemes, covering the whole certificate lifecycle starting from issuing, transfers, exports, imports up to the cancellation. It is built using Unicorn Application Framework - a platform for developing cloud-ready mobile-first applications and information systems with rich user interface, based primarily on modern web technologies. It utilizes micro-service architecture and therefore the overall solution has been divided into several sub-applications - User Interface (GUI), Certificates, Transparency, Integrations and APIs, Transactions, Metered Data, Finance and Master Data. Certigy Registry is provided as solution-as-a-service (SaaS), deployed and operated in Unicorn cloud. See more on Certigy.
Results of the project
The outcome of the project is the delivery of a modern GO certificate registry within less than two months, including the data migration from the old solution, customization of look (company colours and logos) and integration with AIB Hub for international certificate transfers. New solution provides HROTE up-to-date responsive GUI with full flexibility for the end-users. They can freely and easily customize screens by adding or removing columns they want to see, changing the order of the columns, and sorting and filtering to create fully custom views and reports. The micro-service architecture allows particular functionalities to be scaled as needed, not influencing each other. The REST API offered by the system is easy to use and allows simple integration of the functions of the Certigy Registry into the surrounding IT environment to automate previously manual tasks, like processing of results of certificate auctions.
