Project Summary

Q Software developed an apartments rental platform for Artisa Group (a Swiss real estate company), building a web platform with a Symfony backend and Angular frontend and augmenting it with native iOS and Android apps. The engagement began in May 2017 and is ongoing; the vendor runs short, intensive sprints and provides regular progress reports and deliveries every two to three weeks. The client reports high satisfaction, strong communication (daily contact and weekly calls), and confidence in Q Software’s sizable, experienced team as the project moves toward beta testing.

Key Challenges

Need to outsource development of a new apartments rental platform (web and mobile).
Requirement for a stable, usable product with maximum flexibility.

Project Solution

Q Software developed the client's web platform from scratch using Symfony for the backend and Angular for the frontend, and built native iOS and Android apps. They staffed the engagement with a UX designer, a mobile team, front- and back-end web developers, and assigned project managers, operating in short, intensive sprints with regular 2–3 week deliveries. The vendor provided ongoing project management, reports, and ran an on-site three-day workshop to align requirements, and the engagement has continued since May 2017.

Project Outcome

High client satisfaction with the delivered work.
Established daily communication and weekly calls with 2–3 week deliveries.
Early alpha testing enabled by short, intensive sprints and preparation for beta testing.
Improved transparency through regular reports and an on-site three-day workshop.
