Full Stack Development for a Sharing Economy Leader
11
Marketplace platforms
Introduced across the markets of three countries.
2014
Partnership began
In September, and running through a major upgrade of the web applications.
The client
Lemonfrog AG has been disrupting the sharing economy since 2007. Self-funded, it grew to the point where its development team needed augmenting, which is what sent it looking for a remote partner.
The challengeWhat the teams actually needed
Building one tool general enough to spawn service marketplaces means solving the same problems once and then respecting how differently each market behaves.
Challenge 01A universal marketplace tool
The goal was a tool for building service marketplaces rather than a marketplace.
Challenge 02Design that draws people in
A multi-disciplinary team had to produce design compelling and intuitive enough to pull new users in.
Challenge 03Legal requirements per service
Every service came with its own legal requirements to meet.
What we did
A full-stack team working since 2014
Over that time Lemonfrog’s web applications went through a major upgrade on both the frontend and the backend.
Proven practice, integrated
Established software development processes were brought into the client’s way of working.
Every discipline
The engagement covered development, quality assurance, project management and design.
Dynamic relations
An engine with dynamic relations was designed, which is what allows one platform to become eleven.
Two teams, harmonised
Annual social meetings brought the two development teams together — and the platform gained market share and revenue, with Fairboss built as a new service providing legal support on top.
Client testimonial
I appreciate the professional attitude, the skills of the developers, great project management and quality assurance. It's definitely good value for money. What's even more important I appreciate the Netguru people I work with. They are an integral part of our team. They have good process, good business model, and maybe that's why they are very motivated.
