Project Summary

Novatore Solutions acted as the client's full engineering development team to build a new platform for a real-estate/home-flipping division, replacing spreadsheet-based processes. They implemented the system using open-source technologies (predominantly the MEAN stack) on Amazon Web Services, used GitHub for code management, and followed an agile process with Pivotal Tracker. The client found them responsive, collaborative, and technically capable.

Key Challenges

One division needed a new system to replace spreadsheet-based processes
The client required engineering help with open-source expertise

Project Deliverables

New platform system for the home-flipping division
Application code built on open-source (MEAN) technologies
AWS infrastructure configuration
Testing and delivery for client deployment

Project Solution

Novatore served as the full engineering team: they received requirements from the client, implemented the platform using open-source technologies (mostly MEAN stack and JavaScript), configured AWS infrastructure, managed code in GitHub, performed testing, and returned builds for the client to test and deploy. The team worked remotely from overseas with a dedicated developer and additional resources as required, following an agile workflow.

Project Outcome

The system has not yet been widely adopted due to client-side issues with adoption.
The vendor provided very responsive, quick turnarounds.
Project management used Pivotal Tracker with a dedicated developer and periodic joint prioritization meetings.
