Building a Platform for Commercial Construction Professionals
DigitalMara developed a platform never seen before in the field of commercial construction. Solution was built from scratch to provide feedback and analytics using the most advanced software technology.
About the client
The client had an idea of how to improve connections between the professionals in the construction industry through up-to-date means. The client wanted to expand the network of commercial construction professionals to provide the most comprehensive information available across the industry.
We built a centralized platform that allows users to easily share information about contractor performance. Contractors are reviewed on a specific project using the custom rating system. It offers a comprehensive space with ratings and analytics to allow proper pre-qualification for both General and Sub-Contractors.
Approach
The client approached us with a great idea and mock-ups of the functional interface. Our team made a business analysis for them and helped to describe the idea into an appropriate technical assignment. This approach allowed us to improve the initial idea with strong functionality and create an original interface design. We were also flexible during the development process by making adjustments along the way.
The project took nearly 5 months and involved a team of 10 experienced developers.
We followed the Scrum model meticulously, using weekly calls with the client, submitting reports, and using other well-established practices. The task tracking system allowed us to maintain operational communication between the team and the customer.
