The system is primarily built on Java 17, with Groovy for specialized business rules, Vaadin for user interfaces, Oracle DB as the main database, and REST/SOAP services for external integrations.

We emphasize clean, modular development by adopting Guice for dependency injection, applying Clean Architecture practices, and utilizing a plugin-based approach for new features. Our commitment to stability includes comprehensive unit, integration, and web service tests, accompanied by ongoing refactoring.
