What is the reason for redirecting the landing page of a site to a URL with '/#/' at the end?

The system administrators at my company use a Apache reverse proxy, and they always redirect all the external websites to a landing page that ends with '/#/'.

For example:

https://example.com/springApp/#/

Is there any particular reason for this? I am a technical person, but I can't think of a reason for this. Just curious. NOTE: our website does NOT use page scroll anchors.

    JavaScript Single-page apps often use a hash to handle navigation within the app (clicking on a link in the application might update the hash to https://example.com/springApp/#/foo/bar, for example). It's becoming less common as the HTML5 History API becomes well supported, though.
