PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Keller Williams Realty Inc. is a reliable partner and a real estate expert, that offers unique service for customers. The company applied to Computools with a new idea of innovative service for homeowners and homebuyers. The main idea was to create a convenient and intuitive service for choosing insurance quotas for real estate, based on a detailed questionnaire. As a result of the discussion, the main goals of the project and the desired end result were clarified. The company has developed the basic functionality of the service. The user indicates the necessary details of the real estate and receives a list of quotes with which he can explore and analyze, compare, and, most importantly, purchase. At the moment, the service is available for residents of Germany and the United States.

Outcome

During close cooperation with the customer's in-house IT-department, innovative digital solutions were developed and implemented. Thanks to this, all the goals and objectives of the project were achieved. As a result of collaboration, a web service that is available to homeowners and homebuyers in the US and Germany was created. This service allows to select and study real estate insurance quotes from reliable providers. According to the Product Owner, since the launch, there has been a stable dynamic growth of the product and the expansion of the client base of the customer.

Several key options we solved:

Developed a detailed questionnaire for choosing insurance quotas for real estate.
Developed and implemented a convenient user experience map, consisted of a few important steps including purchasing.
Created ergonomic and intuitive UX/UI design.

Digital Platform & Technology

Computools carefully chooses the necessary technologies and platforms for developing each application. The stack is determined by the necessary functionality and further maintenance of the application.

React

React was chosen because it is the main stack the client team worked with. Moreover, the expansion of the Team was much easier than with other libraries or frameworks. It is also one of the fastest solutions on the market with huge support from both Facebook and the community.

MobX

MobX was chosen because of the more flexible service approach for solving business problems on the project. Instead of Flux which promotes Redux.

Typescript

Typescript was chosen because it greatly helps to avoid unnecessary errors during development. The beginning of the project is a little delayed due to the initial settings, but then further development and support of the current code becomes much easier than without typescript. Also, adding a new developer to the team will not require additional time to understand what data structures come to us and what and where is used because of types and interfaces.

Node.js

Node.js was chosen as the microservice architecture was conceived. Writing small services on node.js is fast enough and the Team extension is also quite simple. Besides, the customer team had more experienced specialists in this technology.

Specification

A project specification is created at the design and interactive prototyping stages. The functionality of the application is described in detail, but not redundantly; acceptance criteria and restrictions imposed on them are also mandatory. Loading speed, security and other important criteria for evaluating the finished product are also indicated.

Goal - Create VR optimized runner with non standard controls + support realtime light and physics inside wheelbarrow.
Precondition Open game, start to play, do not collide with any obstacles or monsters. You can collect mushrooms and different by color crystals. Can spend blue crystal to boost your speed for a short time.
Main Flow Open your game Collect crystals
Postconditions Update your wheelbarrow and collect more crystals, buy shield packages and boost packs. Alternative Flows 1. You die in game -> watch ads, or use IAP 2. You update your wheelbarrow and collect more crystals

TEAM

Building a team is a crucial stage in the development of a new application. Computools carefully selects employees to work on the project. We take into account the skills and knowledge of the necessary technologies, experience, and level of expertise in working on similar projects. The team is supplemented by the necessary specialists, depending on the tasks and needs of the project.

Implementation On Client’s Side

Launch

The desktop and mobile versions were launched almost simultaneously. After carrying out all the necessary tests and approving all the edits, the finished pages were launched. Previously, preparatory work and settings for a successful launch were carried out.

Transfer

The code was transferred from the internal servers to the customer’s servers in accordance with the agreed terms and rules. At each stage, additional checks of the stability and performance of the code were made. The final check after the transfer confirmed that everything was successful.

Education

To work with the finished product did not require additional training of customer personnel. Computools team suggested creating tutorials or guides if necessary.
