Requirements gathering and processing
Our journey began with 3 in-depth consultations with the client to fully understand their vision and objectives for the future real estate software solution. During the meetings our team gathered comprehensive app requirements and outlined a detailed document highlighting the app`s scope, features, capacities, and goals, ensuring that every detail was captured.
Planning
With a clear understanding of our partner’s expectations, we moved on to the planning phase. Following our dedication to Agile methodologies, our team meticulously planned the development process of the tailored real-estate app solution, defining key milestones, sprints, deadlines, and resource allocation. The client was actively involved in planning, reviewing, and fine-tuning the blueprint. As soon as the final document was approved, we got down to assembling the relevant team of Proptech developer experts.
Team assembly
Given the client`s preference for a React Native-based solution, we focused on building a team of full-stack React Native experts with experience in bespoke real estate app development. Our team assembly process included internal assessments, technical interviews, and client interviews, ensuring that the selected professionals were a perfect fit for the project`s requirements.
Design
The design phase was critical to create an appealing and intuitive user interface for the real estate search app. Our Design Studio UI/UX specialists crafted over 30 app screens, investing more than 100 hours in building a functional and professionally-looking mobile application. The process comprised the following stages:
- UX research
- Strategy building
- Wireframing
- Visual design
- Prototype testing
Coding
Modsen development team embraced the challenge of building a responsive and scalable real estate search app leveraging the latest Proptech tools and technologies. Bringing the app's architecture and functionality to life, our engineers maintained a collaborative approach and transparent communication within the team to ensure a smooth real estate app development process and generate effective out-of-the-box ideas for strengthening the product’s competitive edge.
Comprehensive testing
Meticulous testing was pivotal for real estate technology development to ensure the app's quality and reliability. Our QA specialists conducted a comprehensive end-to-end testing cycle, including scenario identification, environment setup, test case implementation, result analysis, and retesting. The extensive testing scope covered functional, localization, security, compatibility, performance, and usability tests. The inefficiencies identified during the testing were promptly addressed by the development team, followed by thorough app retesting.
Integration
With a fully functional app ready for launch, we finalized the technical documentation and user guidelines to hand them over to the partner. Our experts facilitated the app`s deployment and provided guidance on the use of its features, capabilities, and scaling possibilities.
Servicing and further cooperation
The unwavering commitment to long-term partnerships led us to stay in close contact with the client after the app`s launch. We provided support and assistance during the first post-launch months and revived our active collaboration a year after to introduce enhancements and expand the application’s capacity.
