Project Summary

DEVtrust developed the backend of a rental listing platform using PHP and MySQL, delivering features to manage agent schedules, measure performance, and run an incentive program. They produced a mobile-friendly web solution and provided QA, working in two-week development sprints followed by two-week QA cycles.
