Multiple teams collaborate for updating a CRE SaaS

About

Supporting over 5000 CRE companies

Our client was a nationwide provider of property and listing information for the commercial real estate industry. They combined a proprietary data collection process with a suite of technology solutions, mainly SaaS and B2B portals, in order to assist more than 5000 companies.

Their users were real estate professionals, appraisers, owners, investors, and developers making strategic decisions to lease, sell, and develop commercial properties.

Challenge

Technology update was needed to scale

After securing funds in 2012 and establishing a presence in 30 states, they needed a complete revamp of their technology to be able to offer nationwide coverage, while providing better CRE data access than the current market leader.

Solution

Multiple software dev teams working remotely

For this revamp we devoted nearly 20 engineers to working in different scrum teams distributed between Montevideo and Medellin, with frequent travel to the client’s offices. Some teams worked following a co-development approach, while some were executed fully on our side, following best practices and leveraging our product management and UX/UI skills.

Using latest front end frameworks and NodeJS in the back end, we helped the client rebuild the entire suite of map-based search portals serving both consumers and agents, including a variety of dynamic reports with property data that was then paired with data from third party providers (i.e. flood, demographics, ESRI data, etc).

Results

Outsourcing provided great results

As a result of our work together, the client was able to go after new and challenging markets, while providing a neat user interface that was accessible from any device, with improved performance compared to the original product. We also contributed to their transition from a traditional to an agile-based development process.

Due to our partnership and going nearshore, the client saved almost $5,000,000 when compared to onsite vendors over a three-year period.
