Project Summary
The vendor developed a complex B2B and B2C web solution for a venture-capital-backed eCommerce/SEO company, using PHP initially and later partly switching to Node.js, with an HTML/JavaScript frontend. The system involved a very large database and complex calculations tied to multi-million euro asset processes. The delivered solution exceeded expectations, boosted the company’s market position, and the team managed the engagement smoothly using tools like Basecamp and Jira. The engagement began in December 2011 and is ongoing.

- Lack of sufficient in-house development staff
- Complex system requirements: huge database and complex calculations for multi‑million-euro asset processes
- Initial site was not responsive and required a relaunch
Project Deliverables
- B2B and B2C web platform
- Responsive frontend (HTML/JavaScript)
- Backend (PHP and later Node.js)

Project Solution
The vendor developed a complex B2B and B2C web solution for a venture-capital-funded project, addressing a large database and sophisticated calculation workflows related to multi‑million-euro assets. They made the site responsive and relaunched it, implemented backend work in PHP and later partially migrated to Node.js, and built the frontend using HTML and JavaScript. The engagement typically used a consistent six-person team with front- and backend experts and included a vendor-side project manager to coordinate work. Communication and project management relied on Basecamp, Jira, email, and Skype.
Project Outcome
- They delivered a working solution that met the client's needs
- The client became a world market leader
- Improved project management and communication using Basecamp and Jira
- High client satisfaction and proactive vendor recommendations
